THURSDAY, Nov. 18 (HealthDay News) -- Mammograms given to women
under 50 with a moderate family history of breast cancer can spot
cancers earlier and increase the odds for long-term survival, a new
study shows.
British researchers examined mammogram results for 6,710 women
with several relatives with breast cancer, or at least one relative
diagnosed before age 40, finding that 136 were diagnosed with the
malignancy between 2003 and 2007.
These women, who researchers said were probably not carriers of
a mutated BRCA breast cancer gene, started receiving mammograms at
an earlier age than recommended by the U.K. National Health
Service, which currently offers the screenings every three years
for women between the ages of 50 and 70.
Findings showed their tumors were smaller and less aggressive
than those in women screened at typical ages, and these women were
more likely to be alive 10 years after diagnosis of an invasive
cancer, the researchers said.
"We were not entirely surprised at the findings," said lead researcher Stephen Duffy, a professor of cancer screening at Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry at Queen Mary University of London.
"There is already evidence that population screening with mammography works in women under 50, even if it is somewhat less effective than at later ages. However, there is evidence that women with a family history have denser breast tissue, which makes mammography a tougher job, so we were not sure what to expect," Duffy noted.
"We did not explicitly exclude BRCA-positive women," he added, "but very few with an identified mutation were recruits, and because the women had a moderate rather than an extensive family history, we suspect there were very few cases among the vast majority who had not been tested for mutations."
Duffy juxtaposed his findings against the current debate among
U.S. public health experts, who disagree over whether annual
mammograms are necessary beginning at the age of 40, which has been
the standard for years. In November 2009, the U.S. Preventive
Services Task Force sparked outrage when it revised its mammogram
recommendations, suggesting that screenings can wait until age 50
and be given every other year.
"There are two issues here," Duffy said. "The first is that there is some evidence of a mortality benefit of screening women in their 40s, albeit a lesser one than in older women. The second is that our study does not relate to population screening, but to mammographic surveillance of women who [are concerned] about their family history of breast or ovarian cancer," he explained.
"This latter issue is less controversial," he added. "There is a debate in the U.K. about the age to start screening the general population, although there is less controversy about surveillance earlier in life for women with a family history of breast cancer."
The study, published online Nov. 18 in
The Lancet Oncology, enrolled women from 76 health centers across 34 cancer research networks, 91 percent of whom were between the ages of 40 and 44 at the start. The women's average age was 42, and slightly less than half had a relative with breast cancer diagnosed at younger than age 40.
About 77 percent of the breast cancer cases diagnosed during the
study were detected at screening, giving the early mammograms a 79
percent sensitivity rate. Researchers predicted an 81 percent
average 10-year survival rate among participants, while survival
rates for those in control groups were forecasted at no more than
73 percent.
Marc Schwartz, an associate professor of oncology at Georgetown
University Medical Center, said the study is important because it
examines a group at increased breast cancer risk for whom there are
no tailored screening guidelines. Similarly, he said, this group's
risk is not high enough to warrant the management options typically
given to BRCA carriers.
"Research like this provides our best evidence . . . for making policy decisions about screening for this group," said Schwartz, who is also co-director of Georgetown's Jess and Mildred Fisher Center for Familial Cancer Research at Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center.
"However, as the authors point out, the results must be interpreted cautiously," he added. "This study cannot be considered definitive. The authors do not report on actual mortality outcomes; rather, they calculated expected mortality based on the size . . . and grade of the tumors that were identified. They then compared this to similar estimates from non-screened, unmatched, control groups from prior studies."

Every miniaturist at one point has to address the issue of scale. Scale refers to the ratio used to translate full sized objects into tiny treasures. Before beginning any project, the artist has to know what scale they are working in—it not only affects the size, but even the materials used.

Stocks to Own for an Oil Price Collapse

Analysts at Deutsche Bank are out with a note warning that oil prices could soon collapse. That's great for American drivers, but it might not be the best for the performance of the S&P 500.
Still, not all companies benefit from higher oil prices. Some suffer significantly when oil is expensive. However, when oil is cheap, these companies can outperform, making them the ones investors want to own more »
Is Air Products Bill Ackman's Big Target?
By Anh HOANG - July 29, 2013 | Tickers: APD, ARG, FDX
Since the beginning of July, Air Products & Chemicals (NYSE: APD) has jumped significantly, from around $91.40 per share to more than $104.10 per share. Its share price has hit its 5-year high, partly due to its recent announcement of adopting a stockholder-rights plan, which leads to the market speculation that Air Products could be an activist target of hedge fund manager Bill Ackman.

Changes in Logistic Trends
By Vanina Egea - July 24, 2013 | Tickers: CHRW, FDX, UPS
The world economic crisis has hit logistics companies differently. The logistics trend is shifting from priority services, such as airlines, towards cheaper and slower forms of delivery like ground transport. This has affected traditional logistics companies such as FedEx (NYSE: FDX), United Parcel Service (NYSE: UPS) and CH Robinson (NASDAQ: CHRW) in diverse ways. Let's take a look at each for further analysis.

However, one of the cars' main problems is that they currently cost more than a Ferrari. Google can easily afford that, but the general public cannot.

No airfreight stock has been able to beat the market since the start of this year.

Airfreight trends have decelerated throughout 2Q13, with particular weakness noted within the Asia region and on Asia-to-Europe trade routes.

PLAYERS: Mark Lowe, Chris Withrow, Pedro Baez
TEAMS: Texas Rangers, Los Angeles Dodgers
TEAMS: Texas Rangers, Los Angeles Dodgers
The Dodgers and Mark Lowe had basically been dancing around for a couple weeks and finally came to an agreement on Friday. If Lowe makes the team as a non-roster invitee, he'll earn a $1.5 million base salary. With incentives, he could earn $2.1 million. Lowe's 2012, despite a nice ERA (3.43), didn't really pitch all that well. His 4.32 FIP was on the high side and his groundball rate dipped considerably compared to his career rate. Despite giving up just five home runs, he did so in 39 1/3 innings, for a HR/FB rate of 9.4 percent, which is just average. Lowe is much more effective against right-handed hitters than lefties in his career: vs. RHP: .234/.309/.330, six home runs allowed in 615 plate appearances vs. LHP: .287/.361/.504, 22 home runs allowed in 534 plate appearances The data suggest Lowe should be a ROOGY, if he even makes the team. The Dodgers already have a potentially full bullpen, as well as a guy like Peter Moylan, who is also a non-ros...

with everything I owned packed in the back of our red mini van, we set out on a journey we started planning while (heavily) drinking mezcal. so it was essentially foolproof from the start. less than an hour after leaving brooklyn we were in farm land and I was already sick of being in the car. new jersey was a lot of realizations: gas is expensive, audiobooks are essential, and different worlds are only a few highways away. leaving my little world in the big city was overwhelmingly painful and sniffly but there was never a thought of turning back, just leaning forward.

director's statement
When I was younger, I loved taking part in protests and debates of all varieties; I was filled with so much passion for things I was maybe too young to comprehend. I had just arrived at college in New York City when Occupy Wall Street popped up on the scene and I felt pulled in so many directions. During a time when I was supposed to be exploring my beliefs, trying new things, and building character, I found myself feeling deflated and disenchanted. My friend from high school, Megan Meo, came to visit me in the city and mentioned that she and her friends at Hampshire College were starting to organize a cross-country bicycle trip to learn more about the cooperative movement in the United States. The only previous contact I had had with cooperatives was shopping at REI, but talking to her peaked my interest in the cooperative model, and even more so in this group of people who were not embittered, who were organized and ready to fight for their future. It felt like a spark in my life.
I was drawn to the story of youth and self-discovery, of idealistic themes grounded in tangible work. I was searching for very personal answers, something that would bring me closer to the optimism of youth that had once enriched my life so greatly. I set out hoping to capture this spirit, and we did. The associate producer, cinematographer and myself were participant-observers on the trip, which meant that we were members of this collective, took part in all group voting, but still had our own objective goals in tact. Navigating this relationship, and traveling with my subjects for three months, was the greatest lesson of my continued education.
To the Moon highlights so many of this country's struggles on a very personal level. The Co-cyclers come face to face with issues of food accessibility, privilege within the cooperative movement, factory farming, and even health care. They bicycled an average of 70 miles a day all while maintaining a schedule, making connections, and pondering these concerns. I wish I could tell you that they discovered game changing results on their travels, but instead there were only more questions – the kind of questions that propel us forward as a society.
From the onset of making this film we knew that what we were setting out to do was the most intense thing any of us had ever done, but it became quite clear very quickly that it would also be one of the most important. At the heart of the heavy topics conjured up by the journey is an adventure of a lifetime taken on by a group of fun-loving friends. They are likeable and relatable characters, unlike most social issue films, there is no overpowering voice persuading us what to believe. These characters become like friends, their struggles become ours and our empathy pulls us into their world, into our country
Few have the opportunity to travel across the country in this deliberate manner so I hope that the audience is able to connect with this vast and diverse country in a way they have never been able to. My hope for this film is that it appeals to all age groups, but the college age population in particular – for they will be carrying the generations to come. I know that I would rather be led by an inquisitive youth who believe they can accomplish a feat as harrowing as building a bridge to the moon than succumb to disillusionment.
all my mistakes
sometimes my dad can't sleep, he stays up at night thinking about all the choices he has made and just lays there wondering where he has gone wrong. learning this made me sad, made me wonder why he would regret the choices that led him to mom and john and katie and me. I was afraid that if he worried hard enough something would change in our collective history and I would be returned to the ever of whatever came before me.
most of my nights are sleepless too because I don't feel free. and I don't feel seen (I don't see myself). and I wonder where I went wrong. (is that normal? and will this ever stop?).
I haven't had anything to write about or talk about or piece-together about in a long time. I haven't felt moved, not in my soul or my heart or my feet.
people tend to lose their minds when they try to make their first feature film and I am realizing how that insanity manifested within me in so many subtle and unexpected ways. I really lost it (I lost myself). I felt inadequate and afraid every single day of my life. not just a small tinge of worry, it was a wave that flooded every inch of my thoughts. and that rippled into my friendships and my communication skills and my ideas of what I thought I wanted for three years of my life. and now that it's done and we're showing this thing that we made to people it feels incredibly anticlimactic. It feels like nothing at all, actually. (is that bad to say?)
I started something I wasn't ready for. but I'm glad I started it and I don't want anything to change in our collective history, I don't want to return it to the ever. I am still clearing the water out of the crevasses of my toes (I know that I don't have to let the water in next time//I can bring a lifejacket).
I'm excited to start a new project. it's the opposite of the former and I don't think that's by accident. there are no expectations, no waiting audience, it is personal and when I think about it my heart warms and soars. It is my little secret lover of a project, an elopement without the contractual binding. It is my salvation, my savior. It is leaving new york city, it is westward, it is homeward.
the decision to leave new york felt like a flood of something else, it felt like life itself (what is that made of?). whatever it is cried me to sleep for four nights straight, which made space for love and hope and ambition again. I suddenly loved my friends (my east coast family) deeper, I loved them with the romance of joan didion (because it's harder to see the ends of things). but new york is ending for me, and there is some shame in that. and I mask the shame with ramblings of new dreams (which terrify and excite me) and sometimes those words feel like what people say when they are left. It's not the city, it's me.
I hope that what I love stops trying to drown me because I have no idea what I'm doing (is that still ok?).

I did not have fresh Thyme so I used dried and just added more of it. I also only marinated it about 12 hours as I forgot to start it the night before. It was still delicious and the flour makes a nice flavorful coating on the outside. This would be nice to serve for company yet easy enough for everyday.
Mustard-and-Wine Pork Tenderloin
MotorcycleCook Posted: 07/07/09
Stacy27 Posted: 01/06/10
This is a solid, basic recipe. It was good and I will make it again, but it didn't blow me away. I marinated for 24 hours as recommended. I froze the other so I will try again for sure. I don't broil a lot and had to turn my broiler down because it was browning too quickly. I will put it on medium next time and perhaps it will be more successful! This is good pork tenderloin, but not "wow". Subtle flavors.
AngelaM Posted: 10/05/09
For years, I have searched for the perfect pork tenderloin recipe. Each recipe has always left something to be desired...until this one! It is so delicious and easy, but very elegant! I buy a two pack of tenderloin. I marinate them in a ziplock bag together for 24 hours. I cook one and freeze the other in the existing marinate for a later date. I use rosemary from my garden instead of the thyme. Make sure you don't leave out the "roll in flour" step. It adds a lot of flavor. I serve with mashed potatoes, green beans or brocoli and if my family is lucky, an apple crisp.
robina321 Posted: 01/14/11
This was very tasy! Even my picky 5 & 6 year olds loved it. Will definitely make this again.
BeckiK Posted: 01/31/10
I was really excited about this recipe, but wasn't thrilled with it. I don't know if it was the wine or mustard I used... will keep searching for a great pork tenderloin recipe!
78jessica Posted: 05/31/12
I only marinated for about 12 hours and the alcohol taste from the wine was still too strong. Maybe it would be better with a different wine and/or different mustard, but I won't be making it again to find out. There are much better pork tenderloin recipes out there.

Sky's the limit for award-laden Nashville blue line prospect Ryan Ellis
Adrian Fung | Sep 23, 2011 | Comments 2
After a distinguished four-year major junior career in which he put his name in the conversation of all-time best Ontario Hockey League defenceman while earning just about every award imaginable, 20-year old blueliner Ryan Ellis only took a brief rest this past summer before resuming his training program. This week, Ellis continues his journey to the NHL in the Nashville Predators' pre-season camp, with an outside shot at earning a roster spot.
"I took a week and a bit off after playing in the 'A' (AHL)," Ellis said this past May at the Canadian Hockey League (CHL) Awards Ceremony. "Just kind of relaxed, went up to the cottage and I just started my training regimen in the summer and I'm looking forward to a little time off as well as off-season training."
twitter.com/PenguinsMarchHockey Independent on Facebook
The 2009 first-round draft choice reached new personal summits in 2010-11 with the Windsor Spitfires when he was named the OHL Mickey Renaud Captain's Award winner, top defenceman in the OHL, CHL and World Junior Championship, player of the year in both the OHL and CHL, and an OHL and World Junior Championship All Star. He finished with 313 career points, third highest among all OHL defencemen in history. He also captained Team Canada at the World Junior Championship in Buffalo, winning a second consecutive silver medal to go with the gold he won in 2009.
Ellis paused to consider his accomplishments and place in major junior history.
"I talked to my old coach Bob Boughner yesterday. I think it's just icing on the cake. We had a great season this year and we went a lot further than a lot of people expected. I think, just personally for myself, after four years in the OHL with the Windsor Spitfires, these two awards are just something on the top and I'm very honoured to get them."
He was humbled to have his name etched on the CHL Defenceman of the Year Award noting "the pretty big names on that list. I think to be in the company of not just those defencemen but the other players that have won it in previous years is very exciting. I think going on to pro hockey next year, it's kind of, like I said, just icing on the cake to sum it all up."
Ellis gave credit to his first high school hockey coach, Paul Hanley, of the Waterdown District High School Warriors, for motivating him to always give his best effort.
"It's to always care and to always have the drive to win. Obviously high school hockey at the time was just kind of more fun for me than anything serious but he always promoted everyone coming with their 'A' game and wanting to win, no matter if it was high school, house league, OHL, NHL. I think that was the biggest thing – always wanting to win, just having that drive at every aspect of any level is key."
After Windsor's drive for three straight Memorial Cups ended in the third round of the OHL playoffs in late April, Ellis signed an amateur try-out contract with the Milwaukee Admirals, Nashville's AHL affiliate. In his first seven professional playoff games, Ellis scored a goal and an assist.
"It was a great experience. I had a lot of fun there and I did pretty well for myself. It was a different experience. I wasn't used to joining a team at the end of a year. It was definitely a big step there. I think going there in the thick of the playoffs and getting used to playoff speed was a great start for me in pro hockey," Ellis reflected, reviewing his cup of coffee in Milwaukee. "Everyone treated me very well. I played a lot more than I expected to. I played some key spots which I think was pretty exciting," he continued, perhaps referring to his goal on the power play in Game 6 of the West Division Final against Houston.
Ellis stated that the biggest lesson he learned in Milwaukee was "just the fact that you must get bigger and stronger for the jump to the AHL or the NHL." Just 5'10″ and 179 lbs., scouts have often been skeptical about his viability as an NHL-calibre defenceman. He chuckled when the topic of his small size came up again. "No, I think I'm over that. I still get those questions once in a while but I'm so far past anything like that. I'm more confident and things like that aren't even in my rear view anymore."
In his third pre-season camp with Nashville, Ellis has hopes of joining Shea Weber and Ryan Suter on the Preds' blue line but remains even-keeled and would not view a return trip to Milwaukee as a disappointment. "I think the AHL is a great way to earn your way to an NHL team. I think if that's in the cards for me, then I'll relish in that role and go there, try to do my best and hopefully work my way to pro hockey."

Can Nursery Rhymes Make Baby Smarter?
Diamant-Cohen also suggests using different books to illustrate one rhyme. "If your child sees the same rhyme with different illustrations, then she sees that there are different visual representations for the same thing, and you are giving her an early start for what's called 'visual literacy.'"
Simeon Brodsky, who plans to start classes with his newborn daughter, shared many a Goose session with his now three-year-old daughter Esther. When asked about the fact that some parents may be better schooled in nursery toys than nursery rhymes, Brodsky commented, "I think that's why these other things are more attractive. They come pre-packaged, and you just open them up and stick them in front of your kids. With things like nursery rhymes, I would love to say I'm creative enough to do all of the motions that go along with 'The Grand Old Duke of York.' Certainly, three years ago I wasn't. Now, I can do it."
"Be willing to be silly," Brodsky says. "It will pay huge dividends." For Brodsky, the rewards have come in the form of quality interactive time and even a soothing solution during challenging car trips.
Susan Warren, a mother of two young sons, also has a new appreciation for age-old rhymes. "I think that's why these rhymes have been around for so long. I think parents through the centuries recognize their values and that's why they're still with us."
Incorporate Positive Reinforcement
During Mother Goose classes, you'll hear applause after a child throws a stuffed pig into the air, jumps over a candlestick, or pulls a flannel Humpty Dumpty down from the wall.
"In each of these cases, by clapping, you're setting a realistic task for children and having them develop a sense of self worth that they can accomplish something and that their achievement is recognized," explains Diamant-Cohen. "It never ceases to amaze me that even children as young as three months respond so strongly, to the point that all I have to do is say, 'It's time for Humpty Dumpty!" I'll [put the Humpty Dumpty doll] on the board and children are already straining against their mothers' arms [to reach him]."
To support and empower children when they succeed in these accomplishments, Diamant-Cohen suggests parents strive to introduce new words of recognition such as "marvelous," "fantastic," and even "unparalleled."

Loving intentions but terrible delivery.
I may not know how to say things gently but I hope you girls know I'm only thinking of your best interest at heart. I can never stand seeing a girl mistreated.
Talk about reminiscing through all the friendships I've gone through x__x
All of this came to mind when I heard this song. What do you guys think of the lyrics?
It's called I'll Walk You Home by AM Kidd
Tell me why I always hear you questioning
How much you feel you're worth
And why someone like you
Deserves to feel the burn
And you ask that every time he lets you down
But it's never quite enough for you to stand and walk out
But I get it, you're scared to be the one that gives up
So you let it happen and you keep your lips shut
Cause you feel like maybe he'll change
But is he worth the time? Is he worth the wait?
If you've answered "I don't know" then you've figured it out
It's better to let it go than watching it fall down
It ain't easy being strong but you should keep in mind what's better for yourself
And you're not super woman, it's okay to call for help
Somebody good deserves somebody that's good, too
You're not alone so someone out there will find you
But that's something that comes along on its own
For the mean time, I'll be here to walk you home
Tell me why you fuckin with him
When he ain't fuckin with you
Don't waste your love on him
When he ain't got no love for you
someone else can hold it down and do it right
You deserve to be in front but he pushes you to the side
Tell me why you fuckin with him
When he ain't fuckin with you
Don't waste your love on him
when he ain't got no love for you
someone else can make you feel you're worth the time
When you leave it might be dark outside
Let me walk you home
Now I know you had a lot of sleepless nights
Always tossing back and forth trying to make things right
When you look into the mirror you don't even recognize who you are
You just want to go back, back to the start
So you tell him and he says you're over thinking
So nothing makes a difference
And then he says he'll fix it
So you sit there with your patience
Cause you're waiting for someone to pull their weight
A relationship is always supposed to be give and take
But he's taking. Taking every ounce of hope you give to him
He throws it back and claims you're not understanding and listening
And hits you with every word he knows to break you down with
And then he asks why you're quiet when around him
So you're stuck 'cause you're staying for the history
And all the time and effort you put into it so willingly
But now, I hope you take a different road
And I'll be there to keep you safe and walk you home
I wish you guys could see it through my eyes, how you are holding onto something that is mediocre compared to how someone better could treat you.

AWARE Study Update January 2013
The AWARE study which was started in 2008 is a long-term project that aims to study the relationship between mind consciousness and brain in patients who undergo cardiac arrest and clinical death. Many people have sent requests to the Horizon website for more information regarding this project. We have to firstly point out that the Horizon Research Foundation is not directly involved with the running of the study and therefore does not have specific information regarding this. Nevertheless while we know it is not usual for investigators to release results of their studies until their research has been completed, we did nevertheless contact the investigators for a recent update in view of the numerous request that we have received.
The AWARE investigators have explained that owing to the exploratory nature of this study they do not anticipate there to be an end in the near future. Instead the study is likely to evolve into further research projects downstream with time. They are pleased to report the study is progressing well but have indicated that the results so far suggest more data and larger scale studies may be required. At this time, they anticipate being able to release the preliminary results obtained during the first five years of the study in September or October 2013 to mark the fifth anniversary of the launch of the study. This will be done through the appropriate scientific channels such as publications in scientific journals and possibly by means of a lecture, symposium or conference at a suitable venue if there is sufficient public interest. This would allow the data and results to be discussed in further detail.
The AWARE investigators asked us to thank everyone and expressed their deep appreciation for the interest shown in their work. They also apologized and mentioned that they will unfortunately not be able to release any more information until the conclusion of the study but promised to let us know when the results will be released so that we can also post them online for our readers.
In the meantime we would like to bring you exciting news and inform everyone that while we wait for the results of the AWARE studies, we will be exploring the subject of mind brain and consciousness including near death experiences in an upcoming series of articles that will be published on our website sequentially this year.
We wish all our readers a wonderful and prosperous New Year and look forward to providing you with more information throughout 2013

Prescription medications can be used in two different ways to treat addiction. The first class of drugs, used when an addict first begins treatment, help alleviate the symptoms of withdrawal. Other medications are used over a longer period of time, to help reduce cravings and therefore encourage sobriety. However, drugs alone cannot cure addiction; all are recommended as part of a multi-pronged approach, including counseling or group therapy.
Nicotine replacement therapy -- which includes patches and gum -- allows a smoker to give up cigarettes without denying his or her body the nicotine it craves. Over time, the amount of nicotine can be gradually tapered off. Bupropion, sold under the brand names Wellbutrin and Zyban, is an antidepressant that is also used to treat nicotine addiction. While it has been shown to increase success rates somewhat, the majority of people who take the drug are still unable to quit [source: PubMed Health]. Another drug, varenicline, has also been approved by the FDA to treat nicotine addiction. Like bupropion, it is not effective over the long term for the majority of smokers; users also reported side effects ranging from nausea to sleep disturbances [source: PubMed Health].
Naltrexone is a prescription medication that has been shown to decrease alcohol cravings; it can also block the effects of drugs on the brain. Naltrexone is sometimes taken in combination with buprenorphine, which works in a similar manner. Disulfiram (sold under the brand name Antabuse) works as a form of aversion therapy: If a person drinks alcohol within two weeks of taking the drug, he or she becomes physically ill, with side effects that can include nausea, vomiting, chest pain, weakness and sweating.
Addicts trying to wean themselves off opiate drugs, such as heroin, can suffer from such severe withdrawal symptoms that they are unable to quit through willpower alone. Drugs such as methadone and buprenorphine ease the painful withdrawal process, because they target the same areas of the brain but are less powerful and addictive over time. Some heroin addicts are prescribed long-term maintenance doses of methadone--in effect, trading one addiction for another, less dangerous one. Over time, the doses of methadone can be lessened, so that giving it up completely has a negligible effect on the body.
Unfortunately, there is no easy cure for addiction. Medications can reduce the urge to use an addictive substance and alleviate the painful side effects of going "cold turkey," but they must be part of a larger, comprehensive strategy. Popping a pill is not enough.(Comstock/Getty Images)
A detoxification center has a whole arsenal of medication at its fingertips.
- Methadone has been in use for years to treat heroin addiction. It affects opiate receptors in the brain, alleviating physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms.
- Nalmefene is a prescription medication that curbs the compulsion to gamble. It was hoped that it would also help with alcoholism, but results were disappointing.
- Antidepressants are widely used for treating addictions because they help to alleviate pre-existing depression, which may have contributed to the onset of addiction.

New Bedford Artists Support Commuter Rail
Making the wish of a train come true on Williams Street in New Bedford on New Year's Eve is the creative idea behind a "walking train" float that will celebrate the beginning of 2010.
The Road to Reform
Transportation Fed Stimulus Boosts Rail, Housing
Governor Deval Patrick in separate visits to Lynnfield, Fitchburg, and Bellingham this week highlighted a total of four federal stimulus American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) projects providing a total of nearly $40 million in transportation funds to boost rail, economic development and housing projects. Learn more about the Massachusetts Recovery Plan.
The Governor joined Congressman John Tierney to announce that the state intends to use $5.9 million in federal stimulus ARRA funds for the Meadow Walk of Lynnfield economic development project. The funds, pending approval by the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), will provide critical traffic signal and intersection improvements in the area surrounding the Meadow Walk project, a 203-acre redevelopment of the former Colonial Golf Club site in Lynnfield.
The Meadow Walk at Lynnfield project will redevelop the former Colonial Golf Club site and build needed affordable housing, providing jobs and new tax revenue for the Lynnfield/Wakefield communities. The project supported by ARRA funding is scheduled for advertisement in January 2010, pending MPO approval.
By early 2010 Massachusetts will have allocated its entire $437.9 million allotment of ARRA highway funding with projects in the pipeline or already under construction.
Fed Stimulus: Fitchburg Commuter Rail Upgrade
In Fitchburg, the Governor joined Congressman John Olver and local elected officials in Leominster to announce the groundbreaking of the first rail improvement project in Massachusetts supported by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
The $10.2 million ARRA investment will fund the first stage of the Fitchburg Commuter Rail Improvement Project that will improve speed, service and reliability on this important rail line. The projects, which include an additional $39 million in ARRA funding for double-tracking and $150 million in New Starts funding, will support the installation of new switches and signals as well as two new renovated stations and the reconstruction of existing track on the state's oldest commuter rail line. The installation of a new universal crossover at the Leominster location is part of the early work program of the overall Fitchburg Line program and will enhance both freight and commuter rail operations in the region.
The project will have immediate economic impacts and lay the groundwork for improvements to track capacity and service reliability. When complete, the Fitchburg Commuter Rail Line Improvement Project will provide modernized, state-of-the-art infrastructure allowing 80 mile-per-hour travel speeds along the line, up to 12% better on-time performance and reduced operating and maintenance costs.
Bellingham- Pulaski Boulevard
Governor Patrick with state and local officials in Bellingham announced a total of nearly $23 million in federal stimulus funds for two projects- rebuilding Pulaski Boulevard in Bellingham and 10 miles of nearby Route 146 from Uxbridge to Sutton. Both roads are important local and busy commuter routes.
The $13 million federal stimulus Bellingham project will reconstruct 2.2 miles of Pulaski Boulevard from Moody Street to the Franklin town line, including rehabilitation of the bridge over Peter's River. The project will improve safety and enhance convenience for motorists, including new pavement, a wider roadway, and improved traffic signals and pedestrian safety along the Boulevard, an important commuter route to I-495 in Franklin. A contractor is expected to be chosen in early 2010 with construction beginning in the spring.
Route 146
The $9.9 million federal stimulus project will resurface and improve 10 miles of Route 146 from just north of the Chocolog Road interchange in Uxbridge through Northbridge and Douglas to the Sutton Town line. Route 146 is a key route that connects Providence, Rhode Island with Worcester. A bid advertisement is expected in January 2010 with construction beginning in the spring.
Secretary Mullan: Finding Visitor Centers Closing Solutions
Recognizing that the Visitor Information Centers play an important role in area tourism and commuter convenience, MassDOT intends to work with the Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development (EOHED) the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security (EOPSS) as well as our partners at MOTT to assist in the search for short term and longer term solutions to this matter.
The reduction in state funding for the Commonwealth's Regional Tourism Councils led to the Councils' decisions to close the following Visitor Information Centers:
In addition, the Greenfield Visitor Information Center on I-91 is scheduled to close on February 1st and is actively searching for funding alternatives.
While MassDOT does not operate the Visitors Information Centers, we do own the buildings and support the basic maintenance of these Centers in areas such as cleaning and trash removal.
We understand that the Visitors Information Centers provide an important service for travelers, and we are working with our state partners, Regional Tourism Councils and local Chambers of Commerce representatives on potential solutions.
As an immediate, short-term solution, temporary restrooms that are wheelchair accessible are being installed during the holiday travel season through January 4, 2010 in areas with high traffic volume. Temporary restrooms are already onsite in Salisbury and Chelmsford, and the MassDOT vendor will be responsible for daily cleaning and disposal. Our intention is to maintain a minimum level of service and convenience to the commuting public - where possible and as funding may allow - while working toward a resolution with the affected organizations.
Over the long term, MassDOT and MOTT will explore the potential for a public-private partnership for these closed locations. Working in cooperation with MOTT and the Regional Tourism Councils whose funding was impacted, we plan to engage with Federal Highway officials to discuss our options and look to bring forward a Private Partnership Request for Proposals in the New Year.
MassDOT Board 2010 Public Meeting Schedule
The Massachusetts Department of Transportation Board of Directors holds its first public business meeting of 2010 on Wednesday, January 6, in the MBTA Board Room, Boston. During 2010, meetings will be held in Springfield, Lowell, and Brockton, along with Boston. All meetings are open to the public.

Absolutely. Well for this series against Houston anyways. Rudy really opens up for offensive opportunities and forces the defense to overplay him. I really like Batum, he is a hell of a defensive player, but In this series I am taking Rudy for Batum no doubt.

Nelson Mandela, anti-apartheid activist and leader of the African National Congress (ANC), served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999. In 1962 he was arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment. Mandela served 27 years in prison and was famously released in 1990. Mandela then led his party, the ANC, in negotiations that led to the establishment of democracy in South Africa in 1994. He died on Dec. 5, 2013 at the age of 95.
