Small-Caps vs. Large-Caps: The Dilemma Solved
By George Leong, B.Comm. for Profit Confidential
If you had to choose between buying Intel Corporation (NASDAQ/INTC) and Phoenix New Media Limited (NYSE/FENG), which stock would it be? This is the kind of dilemma we are currently witnessing in stock market trading, as investors look at the risk they want to assume.
In 2013, the preference has been for small-cap growth stocks such as Phoenix New Media over the older and established Intel, which provides a nice dividend, if that is what you want.
The example indicates why there has been a move and shift toward the assumption of greater risk—the opportunity to increase the expected return of your portfolio.
The chart below shows the outperformance of Phoenix New Media in the dark green line versus Intel, which is reflected by the red candlesticks.

Large-cap stocks like Intel are nice, but for the added return, you need to make sure that you have small-cap stocks in your portfolio. To reduce the risk of small-cap stocks, diversification based on company size and industry is required. (For more on the restaurant segment, read "My Top Picks for Restaurant Stocks.")
At this point, traders appear to be pursuing the risk of small-cap stocks with the hopes of achieving some big gains. This could happen, yet at the same time, with the good generally comes the bad. Small-cap stocks are vulnerable to higher downside risk—especially when the broader market and economy are turning down.
With the current economy showing some stalling, it may be prudent to take some profits off the ledger for some of your bigger winners. For instance, if a stock is up … Read More
Small-Cap Stocks the Place to Be—If Economic Growth Is Real
By George Leong, B.Comm. for Profit Confidential
Make no mistake about it. The wealth in America continues to rise as it is in other parts of the world. Fueling the creation of wealth has been the easy monetary policy, which has essentially pushed up the stock market to its record-highs.
Now the economy is also on the mend; albeit, it has largely been driven by the lure of easy money. Yet growth is growth. At this juncture, the growth, while somewhat muted, is there.
Cyclical stocks are faring well and will continue to do so as long as the economy continues to grow. These companies include the likes of General Electric Company (NYSE/GE), Schlumberger Limited (NYSE/SLB), and Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ/CSCO).
Yet to make the real big gains and increase the overall return of your portfolio, small-cap stocks are the place to have some of your capital working. The small-cap Russell 2000 index is leading the pack so far in 2013, up a healthy 16.25% as of Wednesday.
The reason is that small companies tend to perform well out of a recession and during economic growth.
The stock market has been seeing some shifting of capital into defensive dividend-paying stocks (read "Investors Down-Shift Risk, Search for Safety Ongoing Theme for 2013"), but small-caps delivered their top gains in the months of January, March, May, and, so far, June.
And my feeling is that as long as the economy grows, small-caps will outperform.
Take a look at the chart of the Russell 2000 index below. The index broke north, as shown by the purple oval, out of the bullish ascending triangle. A bullish "golden cross" is … Read More
Why It'd Be Foolish to Give Up on Small-Caps
By George Leong, B.Comm. for Profit Confidential
Small companies tend to perform well coming off a recession like the one we had in 2008.
The beginning of the year was excellent for small-cap stocks as the Russell 2000 led the way with a 12% advance in the first quarter, including a 6.2% move in January.
We have been seeing some flight to safety in the risk preference of investors.
April has seen some profit-taking emerging in small-caps, as the Russell 2000 is down 2.3% as of Tuesday's close and is currently trailing the blue chips and the S&P 500. (Read "Investors Down-Shift Risk, Search for Safety Ongoing Theme for 2013.")
And with the economy continuing to strengthen in housing, manufacturing, and retail sales, small-caps will continue to have good upside potential.
The chart of the Russell 2000 below shows the upward break from the bullish ascending triangle. There's some stalling and some potential for a relapse to back below 900, based on my technical analysis.
Chart courtesy of www.StockCharts.com
As we move forward, a lot of what happens to small-caps will be dependent on the ongoing strength of the economic recovery.
The key to investing in small-cap stocks is diversification and risk management.
Simply the risk is much higher when buying small-cap stocks. For instance, the emergence of bad news could drive small-cap stocks down 40%, while for a large-cap such a The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE/PG), we would likely only see a decline of a few percentage points.
You should be sure to never load up on a sector and diversify across market caps and risk instead. In this way, you can achieve … Read More
Investors Down-Shift Risk, Search for Safety Ongoing Theme for 2013
By George Leong, B.Comm. for Profit Confidential
If the first-quarter earnings season turns out to be as bad as the experts expect, then it may be time to look for safety. That means lightening up the load on high-risk stocks and shifting your focus to companies that you know will be around 50 years from now.
The search for safety appears to be the ongoing theme this year, especially within the blue chip stocks that make up the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The index is up 11.2%, ahead of the broader S&P 500, along with the NASDAQ and Russell 2000.
Small-cap stocks, which have been sizzling on the chart, have been underperforming in the recent weeks, as investors shift to the safety of blue chips and large-cap stocks.
The chart below shows the recent superior performance of the Dow Jones versus the NASDAQ, shown by the blue line, and the Russell 2000, the green line.
Chart courtesy of www.StockCharts.com
After the first week of April, blue chips have fared the best, down just 0.09% as of April 5, which is much better than the decline of 2.94% and 1.96%, respectively, in the Russell 2000 and NASDAQ. As the market risk rises—and I feel it is—I expect to see more money flow from higher-risk investments to lower-risk ventures, such as the blue chips.
The move to Dow blue chips is even more popular, given the dividends available on many of these stocks, which is attractive compared to historically low yields available with bonds.
When you are earning less than one percent on short-term bonds, the choice to look at dividend stocks and the equities market is easy.

How to Supercharge Your Portfolio
By George Leong, B.Comm. for Profit Confidential
Small-cap stocks will be a key driver of the broader market should the U.S. and global economies continue to improve. In 2012, small-cap stocks trailed only the technology sector as far as performance. The Russell 2000 advanced the most in December. If 2013 is a strong year for the economy, small-cap stocks will deliver.
Small-caps have been impressive so far in 2013, as the Russell 2000 is up six percent, with the index trading at the 900 level for the first time.
In my view, continued economic renewal will drive small companies higher, because these companies tend to be able to react more quickly to a changing economy.
My stock analysis suggests that what happens in January will be an important indicator for the year as far as performance. Historical records indicate that stocks have increased an average of 1.6% in January since 1969, according to the Stock Trader's Almanac.
The strong start to 2013 is also a bullish sign, as was the case in 2012 when stocks flew out of the gate. We are seeing a similar situation this year, so expect some gains.
The chart of the Russell 2000 shows the break near 860 on rising relative strength and the moving average convergence/divergence (MACD) indicator. Watch to see if the breakout holds.

I favor small-cap stocks for long-term growth, as the valuations are more attractive and may be worth a look for aggressive long-term investors. (I also like the emerging markets, which you can read more about in "Boost Your Portfolio Returns with the Emerging Markets.")

Look to Higher Beta Small-Caps to Increase Portfolio Returns
By George Leong, B.Comm. for Profit Confidential
Small-cap stocks performed better than both the S&P 500 and the DOW in what was a cautious November, as the economy showed encouraging growth in several key areas. Early on in December, small-caps are leading with a 0.12% advance versus a 0.64% decline for the S&P 500. The Russell 2000 is above the only key index that's above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages (MAs), based on my technical analysis.
In 2011, small-cap stocks underperformed. You would have done better investing in a T-Bill versus small-cap stocks, which were negative in 2011 after advancing 25.3% in 2010. Yet the encouraging signs of economic recovery from the 2008 Great Recession in manufacturing, the housing market (read "Why the Housing Market Is Promising but Overextended"), and the jobs market are helping to attract some buying to small-cap stocks, which generally perform better as the economy recovers from a recession.
I continue to favor small-cap stocks for long-term growth as the valuations are more attractive and may be worth a look for aggressive long-term investors.
And while I view the holding of large-cap stocks as an integral part of your portfolio, for added overall portfolio returns, I like small-cap stocks. These stocks add to the risk component of your portfolio, but you are compensated by a higher overall expected return from your investments. You can increase the expected return of a portfolio by simply adding more risk. This is the advantage of adding small-cap stocks.
A standard and simple measure of stock risk versus the market is called a beta—a quantitative measure of systematic or market risk that cannot be diversified … Read More
Looking for Income? Get It Before the Fiscal Cliff
By George Leong, B.Comm. for Profit Confidential
The fiscal cliff is currently dictating the trading action in the stock market as we near December and the year's end. The worry is that if the Bush-era tax cuts are allowed to dissipate, the end result would likely be a significant jump in taxes, including those on dividends. The prevailing dividends tax of 15.0% is extremely accommodative to income seekers, but under the fiscal cliff, we could see the tax on dividends for the highest tax bracket surge to 39.6%. For dividend investors, this means a massive jump in taxes in 2013.
Let's take a look. Say you earn $100.00 in dividends and you are in the top tax bracket. (Want to know the top stocks for the rich? Read "QE3 and the Rich: What Stocks Will Benefit?") You would pay $15.00 in dividend taxes now, but if you receive the $100.00 dividend on or after January 1, you'd pay a whopping $39.60. The increase would see U.S. dividend taxes approach those paid by Canadians.
With the uncertainty of whether the fiscal cliff will be resolved, we are seeing numerous U.S. companies paying out special dividends to shareholders now to avoid a potential massive tax hit later caused by the fiscal cliff.
From the end of September to mid-November, Bloomberg says that 59 companies belonging to the Russell 3000 Index announced special cash dividends, compared to 15 companies in the same timeframe in 2011. (Source: "Special Dividends Surge Fourfold as U.S. Tax Increase Looms," Bloomberg Businessweek, November 19, 2102.) The move to initiate special dividends is not a surprise, and I expect the payments to … Read More
Why You Should Stick with the Airplane
Builders and Parts Suppliers
By George Leong, B.Comm. for Profit Confidential
The Boeing Company (NYSE/BA) estimates China will require 5,000 aircraft, valued at around $600 billion, over the next 20 years. The company is looking at the new "787 Dreamliner" as its big play on wide-body jet travel despite development issues.
Boeing's chief rival Embraer S.A. (NYSE/ERJ), the European builder of the "Airbus," announced on Tuesday morning that it estimates the global demand over the next two decades to be for about 28,000 new planes. There will be over 32,550 planes in the skies by 2031, up from the current 15,500, according to Embraer, and the Asia-Pacific region will account for 35% of all plane purchases. The major airlines will operate in the U.S., China, Intra Western Europe, and India, according to Embraer. China will be the world's largest domestic plane market in 20 years.
The findings by Embraer are not a surprise and will be driven by higher disposable income in the emerging global markets along with the desire for travel. As I have said in previous commentaries, strong wealth generation in the world's largest emerging markets, including China and India, will help drive the demand for commercial planes and defense. For investors, I view aerospace as a buying opportunity in the equities market.
Air traffic in China is growing at approximately three times the rate in North America, so the Chinese aviation market is significant. China recognizes this and is developing its own commercial aviation program that will see the manufacturing of airplanes with capacity of over 150 passengers. There are no concerns at this time, as this is still decades away.
In the big plane equities market, … Read More
Stock Market Success: It's About How You Manage Your Risk
By George Leong, B.Comm. for Profit Confidential
This is not a time to get too comfortable in the equities market.
Stocks need reasons to move higher. Revenue growth is muted. The economy is moving along but ever so slowly. There is no new stimulus, as both the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank (ECB) declined to offer any except for bond buying. Spain is in deep trouble, as its 10-year bonds are trading at an unsustainable yield of 7.2%. The reality is that I do not see any reason for stocks to move higher at this point, and this is important.
While blue chips and large-cap stocks are holding up, it's a different story for small-cap stocks and technology. On the chart, the Russell 2000 is down 2.3% in the first two days of August to below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages (MAs), which are also on the verge of a bearish death cross based on technical picture.
The key now is not to try to time the market, as this is difficult; instead, a good investment strategy is to make sure you have some trading strategies in place.
Having a good investment strategy, including risk management, is the key to successful trading. I have discussed this investment strategy in the past, but every so often, you need to be reminded; otherwise you could become sloppy.
I have been involved in the markets for over 20 years. After learning the investment strategy of each of the world's best traders, a commonality surfaces: the most important tenet in trading is preserving your investable capital via the use of risk management. The last thing you want to … Read More
Today's Stock Market Leaders
By Mitchell Clark, B.Comm. for Profit Confidential
Ever since the stock market collapsed in 2008 and bottomed in March of 2009, the best performing stocks, given the risk, have been large-cap stocks, many of which pay dividends. Large-cap stocks have specific advantages during slow economic times: big companies can squeeze their costs to keep earnings afloat, they can tap into large cash resources if required, and they can sell off non-core businesses for capital gains. The advantages for stock market investors are generally less investment risk and the potential for income from dividends. In a bear market, or rather, a recovering stock market, large-cap stocks are just as likely to advance in price compared to smaller capitalized companies.
Institutional investors have been piling into large-cap stocks over the last three years, mostly for the security and the dividends. Even though the S&P 500 Index is still trading at the same level it was back in 1999, the dividends have helped tremendously, especially if that income went into acquiring more shares.
I think large-cap stocks are going to keep outperforming for the next several years, and the dividends they produce are the reason why so many of these stocks are trading now at their 52-week highs. In addition, institutional investors don't really have anything else in which to invest. Bonds and cash don't beat the inflation rate, and commodities are unpredictable and don't generate any income. This earnings season, the takeaway so far is one of stability. Corporate earnings certainly are managed, and that's why corporate visibility is so conservative for the rest of the year—to make it easier for companies to not disappoint.
As I wrote before, … Read More
What a Bullish January Means for 2012
By George Leong, B.Comm. for Profit Confidential
January is over and it was quite impressive; not a record by any means, but nonetheless it gives us something to look forward to this year. The key stock indices easily outperformed the historical averages by a wide margin. Technology and small-cap stocks lead the market, with the NASDAQ and Russell 2000 up 7.98% and 6.89%, respectively, in January. The laggards were the blue-chips and large-cap stocks, with the DOW and S&P 500 up 3.56% and 4.41%, respectively. Even Chinese stocks fared well, with the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index up 4.21% in January following losses in 2010 and 2011.
The buying in small-cap stocks suggests continued economy recovery in 2012. So far this year, the housing and manufacturing data are encouraging and point to renewal.
The European debt crisis continues to be a major risk factor. The talks between Greece and its creditors to reach a debt swap deal have yet to be done and there is some speculation the country will be allowed to have a form of controlled default. The problem is that this would likely send jitters through the eurozone and global markets and wreak havoc.
A positive January indicates an up year for stocks in 2012 about 78.3% of the time, according to the Stock Trader's Almanac, albeit this failed to materialize in 2011.
And, while the upward advance is encouraging, you might recall that there was a similar start in 2011 that ended up in a mixed trading year, with tech and small-cap stocks negative.
While investor sentiment continues to be bullish and market breadth positive, the lack of mass market participation is worrisome … Read More
Not Interested in Large-cap Stocks? Why You Should Be
By Mitchell Clark, B.Comm. for Profit Confidential
If you want to see an outstanding performance from a large-cap stock, all you have to do is pull up a long-term chart on McDonald's Corporation (NYSE/MCD). It's kind of odd to think that a mature business like burger flipping could be so profitable, but this company has rewarded shareholders tremendously well. This stock market performance should be studied in business schools.
For a large-cap stock and Dow Jones component, McDonald's has appreciated steadily and with remarkable consistency since 1980. Put a ruler underneath the company's share price and you'll see how extraordinary its performance has been. This large-cap stock struggled in 2002/2003, but that's about it. When the stock market collapsed in 2008 and then hit a low in March of 2009, McDonald's basically traded flat, just below $60.00 a share. This week, it hit an all-time record high of over $101.00 per share, with a current dividend yield of 2.8%. Not bad at all if you ask me. The stock split seven times since the early 80s and is now due for another split.
A stock market performance like McDonald's makes me think that bothering with the rest of the stock market is mostly just a waste of time. Financial markets are like a casino where the odds are stacked against you and your win is only the result of someone else's loss.
I've always been a fan of investing in large-cap stocks, especially those that pay dividends. Even though I spend most of my time researching smaller companies, I've seen stock market portfolios with a handful of large-cap stocks create a lot of wealth for people. … Read More

I loved to be the one to hit the dong. I think ZF is one of my favorite instances. I SSOOOOoo.. hope they gonna make ZF Heroic.
Rest in Peace the mallet.. such a epic thing - especially for me as a troll.. :)
The game has moved on, you might want to do the same. Check your "glory days" at the door. This is a boon to those newer players who would like to do old content without having to search out like-minded people, or bug their guildies to run Ulda with them or whatever.

Family and medical history can shed important light on a person's risk for colorectal cancers. Physicians in the Colorectal Cancer Program have special expertise in the understanding and treatment of hereditary colorectal cancer syndromes and they work closely with genetic counselors in treating those cancers.
The Cancer Genetics Screening Program, which is part of the Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin Clinical Cancer Center provides personalized genetic counseling and testing to individuals who may be at increased risk of cancer due to a personal history of cancer, family history or an underlying genetic condition. Genetic counselors provide counseling regarding cancer risk, cancer genetics, genetic testing, early detection, improved cancer management and possible risk reduction.
Specialized genetic testing can give patients better understanding of their risk for developing certain types of cancer. Our genetic counselors educate patients and their families so that they understand what is being tested, possible different outcomes of the test and implications of the results. Once the test results are in, a genetic counselor works with the patient and his or her family and medical team to make a plan for prevention, follow up screenings or other steps. The counselor also works with the colorectal team of physicians to help determine the best plan of care.
Preventive steps will be personalized to each patient, depending on the results of genetic testing and that patient's unique circumstances and other medical considerations. Preventive measures could include more aggressive screenings, lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, or other medical or surgical steps. If a patient has a hereditary cancer syndrome, he or she may be at increased risk of developing other kinds of cancer as well. All of that must be taken into account when developing a plan of care. Understanding the risks can help patients take better control of their own health.
Patients who may have questions about their cancer risk should learn as much as they can about their family medical history. A detailed medical and family history allows the genetic counselor to better guide each patient in terms of testing and in making the best decisions about preventive and follow-up care.
The two most common hereditary syndromes related to colorectal cancer are:
HNPCC or Lynch Syndrome is an inherited condition that causes an increased risk for early onset colorectal cancer (often before age 50.) Patients with HNPCC also have an elevated risk of developing other cancers, including endometrial, ovarian, pancreatic, kidney/urinary tract and others.
FAP is an inherited condition that is associated with the development of multiple polyps (sometimes more than 100) in the colon and rectum. Polyps can begin to appear as early as the teenage years. If not treated, the polyps are likely to become cancerous by the patient's mid-30s. In about 25 percent of cases, there may not be a family history of the syndrome.
If a patient does have a hereditary cancer syndrome or a predisposition to cancer, a genetic counselor could assist in finding research studies that would be appropriate. Below are additional links that can provide more information on hereditary cancer syndromes:
You may benefit from a cancer genetic screening if you answer "yes" to any of the questions below. When answering these questions, please consider your mother's and father's side of the family.

I am so confused about what makes one a patriotic American. I always thought it was things like participating in the democratic process by voting and encouraging other voting-like activities.
So if that's the case then the opposite of being a patriotic American would be not voting or discouraging other not-voting-like activities in others, right?
HB1770, a bill sponsored by Rep. Curry Todd that comes before the House Elections Subcommittee tomorrow afternoon proposes to make "various revisions to the election laws including allowing a person to email a transfer of voter registration with a scanned signature and increasing maximum size of precincts from 5,000 voters to 7,500 voters."
Basically, Todd's bill is Step 1 in a 2-step process that could – if we don't monitor county election commission meetings very closely – artificially manufacture long lines on election day.
Step 1, let's load precinct with 2,500 more voters than we allow now. Step 2, let's allocate fewer voting machines in each of these precincts with the 2,500 more voters. Mix together and then, Viola!, long lines!
And longs lines = discouraged voters who don't have time to wait. We saw these longs and discouraging lines during the 2004 and 2006 elections and the hope was that we would never see them again.

COLDWATER (WTVB) - Parents and students in Branch County and across Michigan are being reminded that Wednesday is Count Day, when the number of pupils at their desks translates into dollars for the school districts. The fall count is worth 90 percent of a district's per-pupil state funding, while the spring count taken in February is worth 10 percent. The combined numbers determine funding for the current school year.
Some school systems provide incentives for kids to turn out for class today. In Coldwater, the district's food service provider, Chartwells, says breakfast is free to all students at all buildings while the first 50 students at each school, with the exception of 25 at Franklin High School, eating breakfast on Wednesday will receive a back pack. The state has tweaked the count procedure a bit. Contrary to previous years, districts will be able to keep counting students beyond Count Day. If a school system has a student transfer in after today, state funding can be collected while the district that loses the student will have their state aid reduced by a likewise prorated amount. It's said to be part of education reform in Michigan that will prompt districts to closely watch each and every student to ensure their needs are met.

One of the last surviving oldschool grocery shops in vienna is offering this fantastic austrian snack alltime favorite.
There are countless places where you can eat great Wiener Schnitzel in Vienna, but this restaurant is located at the Karmelitermarkt, a Eldorado for all foodies especially on saturday before noon.
Punschkrapferl ( a special pastry with alcohol inside and pink sugarcoating outside ) go icecream. Only available in summertime at on of the most famous coffeehouses in the city!
Another great austrian cuisine paradise, wonderful traditional food opposite the famous ferris wheel ( Riesenrad ) in the prater. Not cheap, but you won´t regret it.
The food is always great here, classic austrian cuisine, carefully prepared.
A paradise for all pork lovers... different kinds of hot ham and roast pork. Great.
A strage Schnitzel in a strange place. The Restaurant was is opposite the main graveyard of vienna, the Zentralfriedhof. If you come to this place, come for the unique atmosphere. The food is ok, nothing special, but very retro, huge portions of filled schnitzel. Try one of the filled schnitzel
Beuschel is basically cooked lung cut in fine stripes in a creamy sauce. A bread dumpling is a classic side dish. The Beuschel in Gasthaus Wild is one of the best in Vienna. A typical and unique austrian dish.

God makes a home for the lonely. It is a place where he can work in us; it is a place that can be very beneficial to us. It is not a place to avoid for you are not ever alone. God will never forsake you, but he will transform you.
Read Whole Story
We should remember that loneliness is the pain of being alone, yet solitude is the splendor of being alone, and that to have long-lasting happiness we should remember the difference in between.
Eating alone can be lonely. Loneliness can be unhealthy. Shouldn't we be encouraging a new paradigm for those older adults who have the ability to leave their homes?
Loneliness weakens the immune system, increases sensitivity to physical pain, and creates depression and fatigue. Moreover, it can generate inflammation throughout the body, leading to a range of health risks.
Amid the flurry of research on happiness these days, it's easy to lose sight of another side of adulthood: Many of us all suffer from loneliness.

The NEW Sound Of Christian Music
The NEW Sound Of Christian EDM
The NEW Sound Of Christian Rap/Hip-Hop
Christy Barritt has penned articles for Campus Life, Marriage Partnership, Blueridge Country, The Plain Truth, Guideposts for Teens, Brio, and The Lookout.
She's the author of the Squeaky Clean Mystery Series (Kregel Publications). Hazardous Duty, the first book in the series, took third place in the ACFW Book of the Year contest. The series is about a crime-scene cleaner who also solves crimes. The second book in the series, Suspicious Minds, will hit shelves in May 2008.
She also co-authored a non-fiction book, Changed: True Stories of Finding God in Christian Music. The book is currently available in Christian bookstores across the country.
Born and raised in Chesapeake, Virginia (suburbia, America), she journeyed off to college in Cincinnati where she majored in communications and psychology. She worked at a Christian publishing house for two and a half years after college. During this time she also had a short jaunt in the independent Christian music field.
When family obligations called her home, she saw it as the push she needed to start writing again. The journey has been scary, she says, but it's definitely where she should be.
Christy's married to Scott, a high school teacher and funny man extraordinaire. In June 2006, they added a little boy named Eli to their happy mix. They also have two dogs and a house plant named Martha. When Christy's not writing, she's also on staff part-time at Celebration Christian Church, where she leads worship each week.

Clinical Research, Headline »
Recent studies have indicated that tumor-specific immune responses may be activated in patients with malignant mesothelioma, suggesting that inhibition of the immunosuppressive receptor cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA4) may enhance antitumor T-cell activity.
Calabrò and colleagues performed an open-label, single-arm phase II trial to investigate the safety and efficacy of tremelimumab, a monoclonal antibody related to ipilimumab that targets CTLA4, in 29 patients with unresectable malignant melanoma who had previously received platinum-based therapy.

Many leading investigators have contributed to the November 2012 issue of Annals Of Cardiothoracic Surgery to provide an overview of the state of the art in translational research and clinical care in malignant pleural mesothelioma.
In addition to chapters that highlight various areas such as epidemiology, biomarkers, prognostic factors and multimodality therapy, videos showing the techniques for extended pleurectomy/ decortication and extrapleural pneumonectomy are included.

The progression and evolution of cancer genomics is giving us unprecedented insight into malignancies. Most recently, a paper on acute myeloid leukemia and one on endometrial carcinoma, part of an ambitious project by the National Institutes of Health to scrutinize DNA aberrations in common cancers, have highlighted that cancer will increasingly be seen as a disease defined by its genetic fingerprint rather than by the organ where it originated.

Though long considered the gold-standard for diagnosing cancer, customary pathological approaches are not always successful.
Here, De Rienzo and colleagues applied the bioinformatic technique of gene-expression ratio tests to develop and validate molecular signatures for the differential diagnosis of mesothelioma (MPM) as proof of principle of the applicability of this technique to cancer diagnosis.
Asbestos, Basic Research, Clinical Research »
Early detection of mesothelioma is key for chemo-efficiency. The authors conducted a multi-center case-control studies in serum from 117 mesothelioma cases and 142 asbestos-exposed control individuals. Biomarker discovery, verification, and validation were performed using the SOMAmer proteomic technology, which simultaneously measures over 1000 proteins in unfractionated biologic samples. Using univariate and multivariate approaches they discovered 64 candidate protein biomarkers, consisting of both inflammatory and proliferative proteins, processes strongly associated with asbestos-induced malignancy. The author further selected a pool of 13 candidate proteins (classifiers) for distinguishing mesotheliomas from controls. The ability of the classifiers …

The Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation is calling for applications for its 2012 round of mesothelioma research grant funding. Continuing its efforts to stimulate translational research for the treatment of malignant mesothelioma, the Meso Foundation is again soliciting applications for funding of innovative projects that address issues for the treatment of the disease.

Mesothelin is currently considered the best available serum biomarker for malignant pleural mesothelioma. To examine the reported diagnostic accuracy of mesothelin and evaluate its value for early diagnosis, the authors performed a meta-analysis on the individual patient data (IPD) of 16 diagnostic studies, representing a total of 4,491 individuals, including 1,026 patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma.
They found a significant heterogeneity in reported diagnostic accuracies of mesothelin (see Figure for sensitivity of mesothelin in different studies). Differences in study population can explain this heterogeneity, since the type of control group, mesothelioma …

A recent publication by Sekido and colleagues has highlighted the connection between two relevant survival/growth pathways in mesothelioma, TGF-beta and NF2/Hippo.
TGF-beta may play important roles in the immune regulation of mesothelioma and in the production of extracellular matrix.
NF2 (neurofibromatosis type 2; Merlin) gene or downstream signaling molecules of the Hippo signaling cascade contain inactivating mutations in nearly 75% of MM cases.

This article presents the results in humans of the first intrapleural instillation of a genetically modified cell line carrying a thymidine kinase suicide gene in mesothelioma. From prior work, these instilled cells are thought to adhere to the intrapleural tumor and to form gap junctions. Then, a pro-drug, ganciclovir, is delivered intravenously, diffuses into the pleural space and is converted by the TK gene in the cells to a toxic drug, ganciclovir-triphosphate, which kills the instilled cells and neighboring tumor cells via a 'bystander effect'. The process may also induce …

Home Office appoints Brokenshire as security minister
James Brokenshire has taken over as the UK's security and counter-terrorism minister following the resignation of Baroness Neville-Jones on Monday. Brokenshire, a former banker and Conservative MP since 2005, was previously parliamentary under secretary for crime reduction before receiving his promotion this week. The crime …
Isn't that a euphemism for Essex?
Swindon, innit!
My money was on Surrey...
...as I had the misfortune of passing through Redhill. But other parts clearly aren't.
So I think it's like London, Brokenshire doesn't coincide with traditional county boundaries, and comprises sizeable bits of Essex, Surrey, Wiltshire and so on. It's definitely home counties.
Not that c**t
that is all
"Yes, but...
... he's no c***", she cried. 'He's more of a man than you'll ever be!'
It sounds like a place BBC News would make up to chart social decline.
Oh well good luck to him in the thankless job of explaining the government's security knee jerks to the world.
Don't upset the man. He knows where you live and is probably deeply sniffing your packets as I type.
Brokenshire the former banker?
I'd be surprised if he wasn't still a complete Merchant banker. Par for the course for Tory ministers..

I have been working since I was 16 and am now in my 50's. I have paid taxes all my life. No I am not being subsidized. I am getting my return on my investment. Yes, most federal programs DO work. All programs have some waste. I do not care if it�s the Boy Scouts, your church, or the federal government; it is human nature to help themselves to a little extra. Are you telling me that if a program is not perfect we should dump it? Your arguments are totally illogical. Kathy, you say no government program is a success, and then you tell me that Social Security was not intended to be permanent. You did not say it did not work you just associated the ideas. Social Security is a great success. Is it perfect, no? Could it be improved, yes? If you get rid of it what happens to the people who depend on it? That 80 yr old who worked all his life, paid all his taxes. Has his home paid for, just lives a simple life. You want to tell those people, I am sorry I do not want to support you with my taxes. Go out and beg. Maybe some church will give you a few bucks, or some person down the block may give you a few cans of food. Millions of people, who depend on Social Security, just go away. Medicare? Millions of Americans would be dead if not for Medicare. Is that what TEA day was about, go away. My taxes should not pay for your heart surgery or blood pressure pills. What about federal law that prevents an insurance company from dropping you at renewal because you have an illness. If you have cancer, it is a federal law that prevents that. But no you do not want government to tell business what to do, it interferes with profit. In fact someone else�s premiums are higher because of that person with cancer. Let them die, I want my money. I have more toys to buy, I want that 4 wheeler, that power boat, the huge truck with oversized tires. Bubba, go talk to a doctor, the insurance companies are using their power to control the patient. If the doctor is not willing to take 10 cents on the dollar for their services you cannot see my patients. Doctors have to see 3 patients for e very one they saw 20 years ago to make the same money. Why does the hospital in Floresville not accept the insurance that the town and county employees have? The amount of money the insurance was willing to pay for patient care was below hospital cost.
I have paid taxes for 50 years. You are driving on my roads, my police are protecting you, and my army protects this nation. Where is the constructive conversation? All I hear is NO NO NO. The Constitution was written by people who had very differing ideas. They compromised to come up with a system that would work for all.

My 5-Year-Old Black Daughter as a Confederate?
What was my daughter's school thinking?
Kimberly Seals Allers: The governor of Virginia recently decided it was a good idea to issue a proclamation marking April as Confederate History Month. What was he thinking?! That decision has turned into a hornet's nest of CNN proportions, and he was forced to feign contriteness and reissue his statement. You expect that kind of stupidity in politics. But you can imagine my shock when I found myself in the middle of a Confederate clamor at my daughter's school, of all places.
A few years ago, my daughter attended kindergarten and first grade at an exclusive (expensive), mostly white (expensive) private school (expensive). The headmaster, who was retiring, was an avid Civil War buff, and there were several events planned throughout the school year to honor his tenure and service to the school.
I attended most, and did my working-mom-with-a-one-hour-commute best to be supportive. Toward the end of the school year, the faculty and PTA announced that the annual Field Day event would have a Civil War theme, with the students -- even the kindergartners -- playing on either Confederate or Union teams. Seriously?
This is where things went too far.
I'm all about celebrating history. And I can even stomach the parts that I don't like. But I really couldn't see my 5-year-old brown daughter playing on the Confederate team. And I thought it was extremely insensitive and disrespectful to the fewer than 10 African-American children in the whole K-8 school to have them play games under the banner of a group that wanted their ancestors to remain enslaved.
Some people may take lightly what the Confederacy stood for, but I don't think educators should be on that list. I arranged a meeting the headmaster.
I calmly expressed my concern over the Field Day theme and stated that, as the school strives to give students "teachable moments," I was concerned about the lesson they would get from playing games as Confederates. I also reminded him that the Civil War was a war to maintain slavery -- a system that denied African-Americans their human rights. Is this really the right backdrop for relay races and kickball?
He said the war was about state rights. "Yes," I said, "a state's right to keep slaves."
He said I was being overly sensitive and looking too deeply into it.
"Really? Seems like somebody didn't think deeply enough," I said, as I tried my best to remember my NYU and Columbia vocabulary -- even though I felt my Brooklyn, N.Y., roots bubbling to the surface.
At the end of the extremely frustrating conversation, it was clear I was getting nowhere. I respectfully let him know that my daughter would not be attending school that day to participate in the disgraceful Field Day. He just smiled and said that was fine.
I walked out of that office feeling voiceless and invisible, and left it alone.
Ever since then, I've regretted not going one step further. I'm a journalist, for crying out loud -- a journalist who could have summoned three newspapers and a television station before I left the school parking lot. But I didn't.
After working so hard to try to "fit in" with the school culture, the other moms, the PTA and the board, I chose not to fight that battle, especially because of my daughter. She was already feeling uncomfortable with getting so many questions about her hair being braided in cornrows. It's another one of those Black mom things that not everyone will understand. It's one of the kind of trade-offs that often frustrates me.
Although my child was getting an excellent education, it was clear on that day that the headmaster didn't care about all of the students (that was my daughter's last year there). And that's the problem with Gov. Bob McDonnell. While throwing a political bone to the Sons of Confederate Vets, he forgot that he represents all Virginians -- even the African-American ones.
I'm just glad to see that he wasn't able to get away with that kind of disrespect.

She is the author of "The Mocha Manual to a Fabulous Pregnancy" and "The Mocha Manual to Turning Your Passion into Profit." Kimberly is a divorcing mother of two and lives on Long Island, N.Y.
I think that maybe there is a double standard on behalf of the author. How is it not ok for her daughter to participate in something confederately themed but yet my daughter is required to attend school during a WHOLE month when they teach black history?
I'm sorry I don't see a problem with your child having to participate. If there is a WHOLE month dedicated to Black History I think it's only right that there are months dedicated to other races. I have been waiting a VERY long time for this day. Also I think you need to look at Confederate History Month for what it really is about. This is about teaching people about history not race.
Well, Angela, if Black History Month were about defending black people's right to keep white slaves, then we would have a real double standard. But it's not, so pls spare me your "reverse racism" BS. The Civil War was about slavery, no matter what certain white people want us to believe. OK, so now that we've cleared that up (again), here is a better comparison. How would we all feel if Jewish kids were required to participate on the Nazi side in a WWII-themed reenactment? That would be TOTALLY unacceptable, right? So how is what Ms Seals-Allers's daughter went through any different from that?
Melanie, if Confederate History Month is not about race, then why did you present it as a month dedicated to "another race" and a counterpoint to Black History Month? Your racist underwear is showing.
How can you compare confederate history month to black history month?? Confederates were pro-slavery and nothing to be proud of. I also don't like when it's refered to as "southern pride" when it is nothing more but pure racism.
I can see how this can cause some controversy. Apparently the teacher forgot what the Civil War was about! The Confederates (southerners) wanted to keep the blacks as property…slaves. They didn't believe the blacks had any rights to a better life. I am a History College Major and I know what suffering these people endured!!! I agree with this mom!! If the roles were reversed and the whites had endured suffering, slavery, and torture by the hands of the blacks….we would be just as offended for our children to participate!! Some people just aren't educated! If anything…the african-american children should've been on the UNION SIDE! Oh and btw, I'm white!
While I understand her feelings, we all need to understand that learning history means learning the good and bad. As much as I hate hearing about the bad, we should all learn it. This way, going forward, we can try to avoid repeating it.Â
The Confederates wanted to secede from the Union. The reason behind this, the Union wanted to abolish slavery and the Confederacy did not. Why, would a person even remotely think that this is a good idea? How is this in comparison to learning about African American history? As another person stated, would you have Jewish children re-enact the Holocaust?
Ok first of all you were sending your child to this school. If you didn't like their curriculum why not send your kid to public school? Or better yet home school then you'd know the curriculum and wouldn't have to worry about this. Also Their PRETENDING. They do this all the time in school for A LOT of history. What if they were re-enacting the escape of slaves like the gentleman that escape in a box? I don't think you'd be complaining then. It's the same thing. History is history even if we don't like what happened. I don't like what happened in world war 2 but it wouldn't make me angry if they had some children portray nazis. It helps them to understand what was going on back then. They're not asking them to become confederates for real. It's just acting. Some kids learn better by seeing and hearing things happening rather than just reading. Think of movies like the boy in the striped pajamas. Or the sound of music. Or anne frank. Or roots. Is it evil to have asked those people to act that out? Some people played nazis. Now do you think in real life the people who portrayed nazis were REALLY nazis? Or that the confederates in roots were all REALLY confederates?
And last. I myself have a problem with "black history month" how come it's okay for blacks to have a whole month devoted to just blacks but if someone wanted to have "white history month" people would be up in arms? The racist card is getting so over used these days.
Also I would think you would be more offended if they asked her to be a slave or would only let the black kids be on the union side. Wouldn't you have been more offended if they'd have said well shes not ALLOWED to play a confederate. That would offend me more. I'd be like why not? So only the white kids are allowed to play on a certain team wheres the fairness in that. If they'd have said ONLY white kids could play in this role or that role wouldn't that have offended you? Or this is a role "suited" to your child (because she's black). Were they asking her to say anything derogatory about her race? It's sad the world we live in when children can't even act out history without parents being ticked off.
And if her daughter wasn't allowed to play a Confederate, she'd be Howling Holy Hades about it. I understand the dichotomy here, but what, are they supposed to tell the kid no?
It seems that you all may need a history lesson…first of all, there were more slaveholders in the union army than the confederate army. Of the 6% of southerners that owned slaves, many were free blacks themselves. On top of this, Lincoln offered for the south to keep their slaves if they joined the union, but the south refused. Lastly, the south freed their slaves five years before the north did. Consider yourself enlightened and please try not to rewrite history.
I had heard over the years that some considerable number of African Americans served in the Confederate army. At ask.com I queried Several sites yield some basic answers, which were: somewhere around 60,000 to 90,000 African Americans, slave and free, served in some capacity in the Confederate military; some where forced or commanded to take up arms, others (esp. the freemen) did so voluntarily, often with the idea that if they fought for the Confederate cause, it would be to their advantage and liberation after the war was over. That kind of thinking was what fueled many African Americans in the Union army (and, as far as that goes, in the U.S. Armies of WWI and WWII). So on one hand, I would imagine it could "work" to have your daughter role-playing one of those black soldiers.
On the other hand, I think it is doggone shallow for a bunch of white folks to be busting the onions of a black parent for, at the very least, feeling some internal conflict over the plan to have her daughter portray a Confederate. Y'all are making this sound like it is some simple equation: Black History Month + Confederate History Month = All is now well in the U.S. of A. It's not that simple, though, because you're presuming that a dose of linear or rational thought is sufficient to overcome emotional responses … and by doing so, you are implicitly calling this author's emotional responses into question. To what end would you wish to do the latter?
The dumbjohn headmaster is talking as though the jury were still not really out on what exactly the War Between the States was all about. It gets revised and reinterpreted every generation or so. What if we are in some transitional period in which standard interpretations of the past two decades are on their way out. The headmaster was not taking the author's concerns seriously, which is short-sighted. The headmonster's best bet would have been to invite the author to speak to this topic, perhaps in a panel or some other forum, in which both views could be aired.
All of this just goes to show how thin the ice is on which we stand when we talk about race in this country. The trauma of formal accommodation of crude, blunt hate may be gone with the set of laws passed and liberations enacted since the late 1950s; and yes, the Pres. of the U.S. can claim African ancestry, and can attribute to himself identities rooted in the USA's African American "black" culture as well as its "white" European culture. And yes, we've "come a long way" since I was a young man (I was born in 1952).
But we still have miles to go before we can sleep the sleep of a virtuous nation.
I think it actually may be a step in the right direction that color was not considered when assigning children to the opposing sides of the Civil War. As someone who lost family members in the Holocaust, I think I can say truthfully that if it were part of a history class, I don't particularly have issues with my children being assigned to the Axis side v. the Allied side.
Now, all that being said, I believe the school made a poor choice in that 1) these assignments were made in connection with a Field Day rather than as part of a scholarly activity; and 2) its participants were too young to understand either the significance or the history of the Civil War.
I went to school in Texas for part of elementary school and all of middle school (junior high). The subject of the Civil War was explored in great depth - but not until 8th grade (this was before the current batch of psychos hijacked the school board). Our history class was divided into North and South, and it was a fascinating way of bringing history to life. I was assigned to be a Confederate, and while it had no impact on my views about slavery and racism (very bad things), it did force me to look at an issue from another's perspective - something I've found very valuable in life.
As an African Canadian with American roots I would indeed take offense to my child having to celebrate a confederate, responsible for the enslavement and death of my ancestors.
If there was more "Black History" in the main stream curriculum there would be no need to set aside a month were Black History is celebrated.
For too long our culture has been ignored,erased,embellished and out and out denied it's place in the history books.
How does learning about the history of blacks in America threaten the status quo?
Everyday of my life as a child I was bombarded with imagery that excluded my race or painted us in a subservient fashion.
Wake up America we as a people are a very important integral part of the fabric of America.
It is a shame that at home we still struggle for this respect.
My fore-family had not long arrived from Ireland and Scotland when the so-called Civil War started. Few had a nail to hang their hats on, some didn't have a hat to hang on a nail. NONE ever owned a human being, so I resent the general thought that all Southerners agreed with slavery. Some of my relatives were called deserters, spent the rest of their lives in hiding because they had left countries because of the fighting and were not willing to fight another fight.
Not all, not many, actually, of the Confederate soldiers fought because they wanted to keep slavery intact. Most fought because they were told to, forced to. Black men fought for the Confederate army, too, let's remember that.
I think confederate history month is a fantastic idea. I do not agree with black history month and we have to hear about that all the time. There is no racism anymore…. you people got what you wanted.
The Civil War wasn't just about slavery….How about you read up on the Civil War before writing half truths. The cause of the Civil War was sectionalism!
Black History Month was started because there was almost NONE in American texts and school curriculum. How much has that changed over the years? I'd be willing to bet…not much, except during Black History month! What does it say about you if you're "against it?" And good gravy marie, that's not ALL that's taught all-day-every-day for that month!
For Black History Month, my daughter had to write a report on a famous "African America" and also dress as the character for her presentation. When the black parents heard about this, they called the school in protest. Apparently they were assuming white children were going to come to school in "black face." GET OVER IT ALREADY!
