Shortly after the discovery of the neutron in 1932, some scientists recognized the potential of boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) as a cancer treatment. But despite decades of research, the problem of finding a delivery agent that would more effectively target the tumor without harming surrounding tissue persisted. Researchers at the University of Missouri (MU) may finally have found a solution. Read More
While many animals face extinction due to poaching or loss of habitat, Tasmanian devil numbers are sbeing dramatically reduced due to a contagious tumor with a mortality rate of 100 percent. Called Devil Facial Tumor Disease (DFTD), it kills the animal in a matter of months. Now fresh research from the University of Cambridge has delivered new data on the mechanism of the disease which could increase the chances of developing a vaccine. Read More
Dr. Watson goes to work
IBM's Watson supercomputer has long held out the promise of being a partner in our endeavors rather than simply being a better search engine. Now an improved version of Watson has joined the oncology staff at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. Read More
Gold nanoparticles have already shown promise in precisely highlighting brain tumors, "blowing up" individual diseased cells, and developing a lung cancer breath test. Now researchers have created gold nanoparticles that allow an alpha particle-emitting element to be directed to small cancer tumors. The researchers say the gold coating keeps the powerful radioactive particles in place at the cancer site so they do negligible damage to healthy organs and tissue. Read More
Beer compounds could hold the key to better pharmacueticals
A beer a day might not keep the doctor away but hops, one of the basic ingredients in beer brewing, could be good for you. In a development that could lead to better drug treatments of diabetes and cancer, University of Washington research associate professor of chemistry, Werner Kaminsky, has determined the exact structure of humulones and their derivatives – the acids in hops that give beer its distinctive bitter taste.

Scientists believe the genes of virus-resistant and long-living wild bats might hold clues to treating cancer and infectious diseases in humans. The theory is that when bats started flying millions of years ago, something changed in their DNA that provides resistance to viruses and helps give them a relatively long life. The researchers hope a better understanding of bat evolution could lead to new treatments for disease and aging in humans. Read More
U.S. scientists are developing a technique that will target and kill cancer cells while simultaneously treating others in the same sample. Centered on fine-tuning the use of cancer destroying nanobubbles, the research holds promise for treating cancer patients in a way that's far more targeted than chemotherapy. Read More
New device tests multiple chemotherapy drugs in a patient's living tumor
Seattle's Presage Biosciences has developed a device which introduces small amounts of different chemotherapy drugs into a patient's tumor. The tumor is inspected after removal and the most effective of the drugs are used for post-surgical chemotherapy, resulting in more efficient, personalized cancer treatments. The new device is awaiting FDA approval, but is currently being used to facilitate development of new chemotherapy drugs. Read More
Molecule linking two hormones effectively treats obesity in mice
With recent studies finding that – for the first time – more people now die from obesity-related illnesses like heart attacks and strokes than malnutrition, scientists have been tackling the fat problem. One of the latest breakthroughs in this field comes from the University of Indiana where researchers have found that combining two hormones into a single molecule could lead to improved treatments for medical conditions such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. Read More
While the overall lung cancer five-year survival rate in the U.S. is 15 percent, the odds of survival increase significantly with early detection. However, the expense or invasiveness of current screening methods and the lack of symptoms at early stages of the disease means most people aren't diagnosed until the cancer is well advanced. Findings by researchers at the University of York could pave the way for a simple blood test that would detect the disease even in its early stages. Read More

U.S. Rep. Fred Upton Co-sponsors MBL (Misc News: September 26, 2011)
U.S. Rep. Fred Upton, R-St. Joseph, has added his name to the list of co-sponsors of legislation to raise the cap on member business lending for credit unions.
"As chairman of the powerful House Energy & Commerce Committee, Fred Upton's sponsorship will prove critically important for gaining other Republicans' support for this job creating legislation," MCUL & Affiliates CEO David Adams said.
Upton joins both of Michigan's U.S. senators and six other House members as co-sponsors on the legislation in the respective houses. The six congressmen are Republicans Thaddeus McCotter and Candice Miller and Democrats Gary Peters, Dale Kildee, John Conyers and Hansen Clarke.
Legislation was introduced in the spring that would raise the MBL cap from 12.25 percent to 27.5 percent. CUNA estimates the change would pump $13 billion into the economy, leading to the creation of 140,000 jobs.

People that don't have drilling near them or don't have anything to lose and everything to gain by supporting drilling will always say it isn't so. Guess what folks. IT IS SO! This nightmare needs to stop.
March 10, 2014 at 4:46 p.m. permalinksuggest removal
You are just jealous that the truth about the damages and severe pollution events related to gas drilling are getting out in the public eye.
March 2, 2014 at 8:38 a.m. permalinksuggest removal
Make no mistake. The future is CERTAIN! The people of PA are taking back their land from big oil and gas!!!
In the meantime, we are helping and will continue to help the fine people of Ohio do the same. It's a sad day when even the Amish are cashing in and leaving Ohio. Get a grip folks. We cannot and will not let the gas companies destroy our land any longer.
December 21, 2013 at 1:19 p.m. permalinksuggest removal
We are coming to Ohio to help you next!
December 19, 2013 at 8:54 p.m. permalinksuggest removal
Some of the drill, baby, drill crowd just crack me up. You are all pro-drilling until the thought of having an impoundment pond is slated for your back yard. You make fun of the antis and call them names and insult them on a daily basis. You even go so far as to lie and insist they are well-funded, when nothing could be further from the truth.
Enter impoundment pond issues, especially after all the findings of radiactivity in waste water in PA and now you don't want them. Just view the Go Marcellus website and see the pro-drillers whining away about them. Rather than admit you were wrong on some issues, you are gathering forces to call the Gov and other lawmakers. Ohio has become the toilet of America for drilling wastes and you are just waking up to it. Those bonuses and royalties won't mean diddly when every drop of water in Ohio is polluted and rendered unusable from gas drilling and the associated waste. Maybe those antis were right from the beginning. Maybe you ought to stand up with them from time to time and help them stop the infrastructure and processing plants before you all glow in the dark.
October 20, 2013 at 6:23 p.m. permalinksuggest removal
There is absolute prrof that the flowback water is radioactive and has contaminated in PA. One stream is now a radioactive site for at least the next 1600 years. Why on earth would Ohio allow this as well as the trucks hauling to and from these ponds? Why on earth would any trucker want any part of transporting this?
October 6, 2013 at 9:59 a.m. permalinksuggest removal
So nice to see a town in Ohio get smart.
October 4, 2013 at 8:49 a.m. permalinksuggest removal
This is insanity! Keep them out of your town and don't back down to their bullying! Keep the ban!
September 10, 2013 at 7:14 p.m. permalinksuggest removal
Good. Let the taxpayers pay to convert the vehicles. Then let them pay more when we export the gas overseas and our rates skyrocket. Then the taxpayers can pay again to convert them back. Meanwhile, not a drop of water in Ohio will be good to drink because the idiots in charge have to promote even more fracking. Good government plan!
August 30, 2013 at 5:48 p.m. permalinksuggest removal
Why would ANYONE be excited that Ohio is now the dumping ground for American shale drilling? You are now the proud recipient of waste that is not only toxic, but RADIOACTIVE!!! In speaking with some workers, the alarms are going off at a higher rate for this type of waste and instead of turning the waste away, they are told to simply turn the alarms off and let the trucks dump this "hot" waste!

In Delphi 2009, SysUtils.pas contains this in line 425:
EProgrammerNotFound = class(Exception);
- Is this simply an easter egg or something serious?
- When should this exception be raised?
- Does it also exist in Delphi Prism and/or Free Pascal?
In Delphi 2009, SysUtils.pas contains this in line 425:
It is just the result of a long day and we had gotten a little giddy. For many, many years (ever since I'd been on the team), we'd always joked about replacing some error message in the compiler for one of the most common errors with a similar message. Internally we've always joked and poked fun at different things and people (mostly on the team itself). If you don't have a sense of humor, you're destined to an early grave.
It was a simple conversation;
"Oh, you should have raised the EProgrammerNotFound exception in that function."
So, I guess all I can say is, "You've all played right into our hands ;-)... Buwahahaha! pwned!"
It was introduced in Delphi 2009, still present in Delphi 2010, and recently got some more attention on the internet.
I think it is an easter egg, similar to "EBCAK" (Error Between Chair and Keyboard), and the skipping of Delphi version number 13.
I don't think EProgrammerNotFound is actually meant to be used at all, but since it is there, people will jokingly use it (similar like putting a stray "const False = True; True = not False;" in someone elses sourcecode).
It is used in conjunction with the "fix-inline" technology which requires that the programmer has to be linked into the exe file ;-)
The origin is debatable, but it's been known for a while...
Read on:
PS: I don't think it exists in Delphi Prism, FreePascal or C# (but it should).
It's the runtime analog of the compiler's "Syntax error: Programer expected." ;>
With programmer, it is not the programmer that is sitting behind Delphi that is referenced. I think it is used for the fact that in D2009 and above they planned (never used it don't know if it works) that every object was waitable.
I am a programmer, am I an exception than ?
Marco Cantù also describes this in his book 'Delphi 2009 handbook' - page 242. He tells it's never jused in the VCL source code.

[Award Winner] Making planets, moons, and suns in Photoshop
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.
-J. Robert Oppenheimer (father of the atom bomb) alluding to The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 11, Verse 32)
My Maps ~ My Brushes ~ My Tutorials ~ My Challenge Maps
Hey, planets! I found a couple of tutorials some time ago, and I thought it was so cool, I started to create, and those were the results.
The earth-like one has a quite lousy starfield because when I started to erase around to randomize it, didn't notice what the result would be; anyway I think it looks pretty cool
This has been my most recent attempt at a planet scene. It's part of a project I've been working on, and its page is here: http://nhnd.thewildblue.net/wiki/Spero
Last edited by alaskanflyboy; 05-30-2009 at 08:57 AM. Reason: Added a link to the page dedicated to this marble.
I love designing planets using Gimp. Is it possible to design a "star map" in Gimp, or other imaging program. (Example: Sun in the center and then several planets, moons, and an asteroid belt or two orbiting around that, as well as showing the orbital path of the planets and moons) Is this possible to do, and do 'well'? Thanks in advance.
Made using Vue7 and NASA's Blue Marble.

Google Demonstrates Quantum Computer Image Search
Soulskill posted more than 4 years ago | from the superposition-of-evil-and-not-evil dept.106
An anonymous reader sends along this quote from New Scientist: "Google's web services may be considered cutting edge, but they run in warehouses filled with conventional computers. Now the search giant has revealed it is investigating the use of quantum computers to run its next generation of faster applications. Writing on Google's research blog this week, Hartmut Neven, head of its image recognition team, reveals that the Californian firm has for three years been quietly developing a quantum computer that can identify particular objects in a database of stills or video (PDF). Google has been doing this, Neven says, with D-Wave, a Canadian firm that has developed an on-chip array of quantum bits — or qubits — encoded in magnetically coupled superconducting loops."

Should the Rays trade James Shields this offseason? According to Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe and the National League general manager he spoke to, the answer appears to be a resounding yes. Cafardo talks about how the Rays desperately need offense to complement their pitching, and epecially as he becomes more expensive (he makes 9 million dollars in 2013 and 12 million in 2014), now appears to be the time that the Rays finally decide that despite everything Shields has given them over the years, it is time to trade him. He mentions the Rangers as a solid trade fit, with a trade of Shields for Elvis Andrus and another player or two a possible option. Not sure Andrus is exactly the player that the Rays are looking for (he only has two years on remaining on his contract as well), but a trade of Shields is something the Rays absolutely have to consider and although it will hurt when it happens, it might be the Rays' best option moving forward.
It's nice to see some articles in the Tampa Bay Times talking about the Rays situation in a positive light. Well, mostly. After the the Rays offered to Luke Scott Talks Returning" href="http://rayscoloredglasses.com/2012/10/13/rays-notes-sternberg-rays-talk-stadium-luke-scott-talks-returning/" target="_blank">start negotiations with CityScape after an amendment of the Tropicana Field lease, several key figures have responded.
(St. Petersburg mayor Bill) Foster said he needed to consult with staff and City Council members before formulating a response. The current Tropicana Field contract, which runs through 2027, forbids the Rays from negotiating a new stadium deal anywhere. And Foster has been adamant that Rays must stay in St. Petersburg for the next 15 years, either at Tropicana Field or in a new stadium.
But Foster did characterize the Sternberg letter as "opening dialogue."
…."I'm thrilled that the Rays have accepted our offer to come to speak to our board," Hillsborough commission Chairman Ken Hagan said Thursday. "This is what I've been pushing for all along. I think this is significant step toward coming to a long-term resolution."
….Pinellas County Commissioner Ken Welch lauded the Rays' letter as "a very exciting development" and said he didn't have a problem with the team exploring Hillsborough sites.
The city, the county and CityScape "can put a very competitive proposal on the table but the dialogue has to happen," Welch said. "And that hasn't been happening for a few years."
The Rays' proposed amendment would wipe out the city's ability to sue anyone in Hillsborough or Pinellas County for interfering with the current contact, Wolfe said, but would maintain that threat outside those counties.
The team "could not go to Connecticut," (City Attorney John) Wolfe told the council.
As for the Rays' offer of veto power, Wolfe warned that council members could come under intense pressure if the team cut a tentative deal in Hillsborough and then the city demanded tough buyout terms. The council could be criticized for killing a deal and pushing the Rays away from the area altogether.
The middle two responses were great developments, while the other two seem neutral at best. But at the very least there are serious talks now regarding a possible stadium, and one way or another a solution is on the way.
In other news, David Price somehow ended the boxing career of someone named Audley Harrison with a first round knockout. Oh wait… wrong David Price.

Welcome to The Joy's Life DT Happy Holidays Blog Hop!! Can you believe it's December already?? Christmas is right around the corner! I just love the holidays!! Of course here in Tx, it is about 80 degrees now, so it's not too festive, but today we are putting up our tree and that always gets me in the Holiday Spirit!
Now on to the hop! You should have come from Amy's blog, if not you might want to start at the beginning over at Joy's Blog!
For my blog hop project I made an ornament!
I saw one similar to this on Pinterest so I gave it my own little twist and came up with this! I started with a glass ball ornament and some scrapbook paper that I just love from Hobby Lobby. I tore the paper into small squares, inked the edges and Mod Podged them onto the ornament. While the Mod Podge was still tacky I sprinkled some chunky glitter all over and then let it dry. I had some picks with tiny pinecones and berries so I hot glued them around the top of the ornament. I stamped my sentiment "Peace Hope Joy" from Joy's set Wintery Puns in Fired Brick Distressed Ink and cut it into a "banner" shape. Inked the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and added some "Gold Ice" Ice Stickles (My new favorite Stickles!!!) I put on both sides of the ornament so that no matter which way it turns you can see it!
Here is a close-up of the fabulous sentiment....
I hope you enjoyed being here today and hope you come back soon! :) Oops! I almost forgot!! How about a little blog candy?!?! Just be a follower & leave a comment to receive a goody grab bag of Holiday embellishments! Have a great weekend! :) And now head on over to the super talented Cyndy to finish out this amazing Holiday Hop!
Here is the entire line-up in case you get lost along the way!
Until next time... ♥ Laura ♥

I'd also like to know who is "we" in this scenario. Because it's definitely not white women as a whole, and you're definitely not speaking on behalf of all SlutWalk organizers, nor even all the SlutWalk organizers from NYC.
The issue here isn't simply ONE woman holding a sign. It is the repeated dismissal of Women of Color's concerns throughout the organizing process, from the beginning of the Toronto SlutWalk until now. It is the pat excuses given for the sign holder's actions. It is the refusal to acknowledge error, take responsibility, and apologize without undercutting sincerity with defensiveness. It's the ignorant and racist comments/responses to the pain that sign (and the dismissal of other concerns) caused MANY people for VARIOUS reasons — all of which should have been and should be taken seriously and given adequate value and respect in a timely fashion. But they weren't. (Still aren't, as this newly established Page demonstrates *SlutWalk USA*.)
I find it enormously ironic that SlutWalk claims to want to hold perpetrators of rape culture accountable for their actions, yet many of the organizers and attendees can't seem to understand that they, too, need to demonstrate the same level of accountability to Women of Color (and other excluded/de-centered groups) for the work to undo white supremacy and racism (and other ignored -isms).
As the organizers of a march where a White woman felt entitled to hold a racist sign, YES, they are responsible to some degree for not ensuring the safety of Black women (particularly after having JUST received an Open Letter telling them that many Black women did not feel safe there). To that end, (to echo Aishah), the use of the "N" word doesn't make it safe for ALL OF US. (!)
On that note, the use of that word was NOT appropriate in this context and should NOT have been accepted. It should have been recognized as a problem by more people than a WOC ally of the SlutWalk organizers. But it wasn't — at least not enough of a problem to tell the woman to ditch the sign. Using the N-word is not simply about making some people uncomfortable. It is a threat that comes laden with a history of rape, lynching, slavery, and the dehumanization of Black people in this country. It is a reminder of the reality that People of Color have been and continue to be brutalized by white people, individually and systemically.
Just ONE week before SlutWalk, a Black man (Troy Davis) was effectively lynched in Georgia. The Supreme Court of the US and the citizens of this country allowed this to happen — despite widespread protest and media coverage. THAT is what the N-word means IN THIS CONTEXT. It means not fully human. It means expendable. It means the erasure of Black women from the category of "woman." THAT is totally unacceptable and inappropriate, and it's disturbing that a white person would defend it so vehemently.
If SlutWalk's goal is to end rape, then it damn well better figure out how to speak to everyone. Otherwise, it's not only counterintuitive (seeing as Black women are raped, Latinas are raped, Native American women are raped, Asian women are raped, Middle Eastern women are raped) but it's also just as broken and problematic as the rape culture it claims to be resisting, which is a culture that is fed by racism (e.g. the myth of the Black rapist, the fact that WOC are more frequent victims of rape, etc).
So, who exactly does SlutWalk think is valuable enough to gain the prize of NOT being raped?" ~ Mandy Van Deven ~"

Success of European Concert Series
In 2013 Brighton Festival Chorus was awarded support for a series of concerts in France and the UK throughout 2013 to 2015. Phase 1 was a tour of northern France in November 2013 to sing the Verdi Requiem. Phase 2 was a New Year concert in Rouen to sing Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. Phase 3 involved two further performances of the Verdi Requiem at the Backstage Centre in Essex in July, when Brighton Festival Chorus was joined by the Royal Opera House Thurrock Community Chorus.
All phases of the concert series have now been completed, and the European organising committee has been so pleased with the success of these concerts they have invited us to be a part of a new European project starting summer 2015. See News.

Home › Forums › DSC Technical Questions › Alexor won't connect to DLS-IV
This topic contains 6 replies, has 2 voices, and was last updated by greenbird 3 years, 8 months ago.
February 7, 2011 at 3:00 am #11971
Hey guys,
I'm trying to connect an Alexor PC9155CP-01 with v1.10 firmware, but no matter what I try (Global Upload, Global Download, specific tags, etc.), I can't get it to connect to DLS-IV. Punching in <499> <installer code> <499> doesn't make a difference either. :'(
I've got the cable properly wired up as far as I can tell:
PC-Link DB9
<1> <–> <3>
<2> <–> <5> ground
<3> <–> <5> ground
<4> <–> <2>
< "Red"> <–> no connection
/–> <4>
\–> <6>
At first, I thought my USB converter was the problem, but I'm now running it on another PC with a built-in serial-port and I'm having the exact same issue.
For software, I am running the latest NA version of DLS-IV, 1.3.1009.27001, downloaded through the automatic updater.
I confirmed that the serial hook-up is passing data because if I put the PC-Link connector into GPRS/Ethernet mode (<382><5>), I can see some data being sent by the Alexor every second. Nothing shows up if I reverse the serial cable.
Anybody know what I'm doing wrong? ???
VictorFebruary 7, 2011 at 7:24 pm #53972
Just from memory, your diagram doesn't look right.
The forum's search feature should bring one up for you to compare (try "PC-Link pin out", "PC-Link diagram", etc for search terms and restrict search to DSC Forum).February 7, 2011 at 7:46 pm #53974
Thanks for the hint, Old EW.
Here's the most relevant post I found in the forums:
The two wirings look the same to me, except for the question of pin outs on the Alexor's PC-Link.
One pin is very clearly labeled as "Red", which I call pin 5:
The | indicates the white bar on the PCB's silk screening to show where the DSC PC-Link cable should go / orientation.
So the question (especailly for Alexor users) is: What are the pin assignments for pins 1-5? I believe 2 and 3 are grounds and 5 ("Red") is a +16.5V power source.
Has anybody been able to successfully connect the Alexor PC9155 to DLS-IV? If so, can you provide a walk-through on how to get it wired and connected properly?
VictorFebruary 7, 2011 at 8:34 pm #53977
Of course.
The standard 4-pin PC-Link cable will work on the Alexor (using the top 4 pins).
If you're having difficulty connecting and are unsure of the cable, why not buy the PC-Link cable and eliminate a variable?February 7, 2011 at 9:38 pm #53980
Good point. I'll buck up and spend the extra few bucks. Normally I'm pretty good at wiring things up, but in this case, who knows. I'll report back if the cable from DSC solves my problem.
Thanks for the sound advice, Old EW.
VictorFebruary 7, 2011 at 9:53 pm #53982
That's the spirit.
If you have any problem with the "store-bought", we'll do our best to get you up and running.February 13, 2011 at 3:26 am #54098
Found the solution to my problem… and it may surprise you…
THE SERIAL PORT! For whatever reason, a REAL DB9 RS-232 serial port on an Intel motherboard would not connect to the PC9155, but using a Keyspan USA-19HS USB-serial converter worked.
This confirms that the wiring of my "home-brewed" cable is fine and no, the "Red" pin is not used when connecting via DLS IV.
Thanks again to Old EW Tech for the pointers.

I never would have guessed that I would be this uncomfortable already... I know it's been 5 years since I was pregnant with Jordan and I've forgotten a lot but I'm already experiencing all kinds of stuff that I didn't think would happen yet.
In addition to the normal-at-this-stage titty tenderness, I've been having symptoms like:
- General uncomfortableness
- Restless nights
- Heartburn
- Discharge
Plus I think I'm already starting to show! I'm trying to suck it in and make it look like I'm normal because you're not "supposed" to start showing until at least 3 months... I think the more kids or pregnancies you have had though the sooner you start to show. My aunt is also pregnant right now and she was really showing at just 10 weeks! (She's little though, and I'm already plus sized, so I don't know if the same rules apply.)
When did you start showing with your kids?

The Marlins franchise record for home runs is held by Gary Sheffield, at 42 long balls. The hope for Marlins fans has been to see their current star Giancarlo Stanton break that mark, and become the first Marlin to hit 50 homers in a season.
That is something that has not been fulfilled yet and time could be running out on that. With the Marlins not currently discussing a longterm discussion with Stanton, 2014 could very well be the last season for Stanton in Marlins colors.
Our friends at Fantasy Baseball Crackerjacks take a look at the possibility of Stanton hitting 50 home runs in 2014. There is a lot that has to go right for Stanton to hit 50, but see what Clave Jones has to say about it.

One that would not only reclaim the AFC East division title but challenge for a Super Bowl return as well! Keep in mind that on the surface it appears as though the defense will be a strength this upcoming season. Lets balance these scales as much as possible to make defeating this team as tough as possible! GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!

Endurance Of Total Knee Replacements In Younger Patients With Juvenile Arthritis
When you think of knee replacement surgery, you generally envision an older adult with painful arthritis. But the procedure is also used for younger patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) whose joints have been severely damaged by the disease. Because the surgery in younger patients is relatively rare, little data exist on the longevity of knee replacements in JIA patients.
An international, multi-center study led by researchers at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) has found that total knee replacements in younger patients with juvenile arthritis last at least 10 years in 92 percent of cases. More than 75 percent of the implants lasted 20 years or more.
"The surgery in this patient population, although performed by only a small number of highly specialized orthopedic surgeons nationwide, is life-changing for JIA patients," said Dr. Mark P. Figgie, senior author of the study and chief of the Surgical Arthritis Service at HSS. "Joint replacement can free patients - many of them adolescents - from a life of unrelenting pain. It can enable those in a wheel chair to walk again, giving many a new lease on life."

Scars from Childhood Cancer Can Affect Adult Quality Of Life
Scars left behind by childhood cancer treatments are more than skin-deep. The increased risk of disfigurement caused by childhood cancer and treatment is associated with emotional distress and reduced quality of life in adulthood, according to a new study led by a Northwestern Medicine advanced practice nurse, Karen Kinahan, and based on data from the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS).
The largest study of its kind, published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, compared adult survivors, who were scarred or disfigured by childhood cancer, to their siblings, who were not childhood cancer survivors. The study found that survivors with a head, neck, arm, or leg disfigurement had increased risk of depression.
"The results of this study help illustrate the complex chain of events childhood cancer can have on quality of life as an adult," said senior author Kevin Krull, Ph.D., an associate member in the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital departments of epidemiology and cancer control and psychology. "We have long been aware that radiation therapy is associated with increased risk for emotional distress and social problems, though we did not fully understand the process this involves. The current study begins to map this process."

Differences Seen In The Brains Of Depressed Preschoolers
A key brain structure that regulates emotions works differently in preschoolers with depression compared with their healthy peers, according to new research at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.
The differences, measured using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), provide the earliest evidence yet of changes in brain function in young children with depression. The researchers say the findings could lead to ways to identify and treat depressed children earlier in the course of the illness, potentially preventing problems later in life.
"The findings really hammer home that these kids are suffering from a very real disorder that requires treatment," said lead author Michael S. Gaffrey, PhD. "We believe this study demonstrates that there are differences in the brains of these very young children and that they may mark the beginnings of a lifelong problem."

To Avoid Future Knee Injuries And Complications, Pediatric ACL Injuries Require Special Treatment
Until a child's bones have fully matured (in girls, typically by age 14; in boys, age 16), an injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) - the primary, stabilizing ligament of the knee joint - requires special consideration, treatment and care to ensure appropriate healing and to prevent long-term complications.
To avoid potential future complications, such as early onset osteoarthritis, the literature review outlines the optimal strategies for treating pediatric ACL injuries based on the specifics of the injury and the child's skeletal (bone), age and developmental maturity.
Among the recommendations:
- Children should be treated by an orthopaedic surgeon who has expertise in the operative treatment of pediatric ACL injuries.
- For pediatric and adolescent patients with partial ACL tears compromising less than 50 percent of the diameter of the ligament, non-surgical management, including activity modification, bracing and/or physical therapy, can be considered.
- Treatment for complete ACL ruptures typically involves transphyseal ACL reconstruction surgery that partially or completely spares the femoral physis (the growth plate, contributing to 70 percent of thigh-bone growth), and adult-type surgical or arthroscopic reconstruction in adolescents at or nearing skeletal maturity.
- Postoperative management may include weight-bearing and activity modifications, bracing, and a progressive physical therapy program emphasizing range of motion (ROM), closed-chain strengthening (exercises on the knee while the foot remains stationary) and a gradual and measured return to sport-specific maneuvers and activities.

Timing of First Exposure To Solid Food Appears Associated With Development Of Type 1 Diabetes
Both an early and late first exposure to solid food for infants appears to be associated with the development of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), according to a study published by JAMA Pediatrics, a JAMA Network publication.
T1DM is increasing around the world with some of the most rapid increase among children younger than 5 years of age. The infant diet has been of particular interest in the origin of the disease, according to the study background.
Brittni Frederiksen, M.P.H., Colorado School of Public Health, University of Colorado, Aurora, and colleagues examined the associations between perinatal and infant exposures, especially early infant diet, and the development of T1DM. Newborn screening of umbilical cord blood for diabetes susceptibility in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region was performed at St. Joseph's Hospital in Denver and first-degree relatives of individuals with T1DM were recruited from the Denver area.
Both early (less than 4 months of age) and late (greater than or equal to 6 months of age) first exposure to any solid food was associated with development of T1DM (hazard ratio [HR] 1.91, and HR, 3.02, respectively), according to the study results. Early exposure to fruit and late exposure to rice/oat was associated with an increased risk of T1DMB (HR, 2.23 and HR, 2.88, respectively), whereas breastfeeding when wheat /barley (HR, 0.47) were introduced appeared to be associated with a decreased risk, the results also indicate.
"Our data suggest multiple foods/antigens play a role and that there is a complex relationship between the timing and type of infant food exposures and T1DM risk. In summary, there appears to be a safe window in which to introduce solid foods between 4 and 5 months of age; solid foods should be introduced while continuing to breastfeed to minimize T1DM risk in genetically susceptible children. These findings should be replicated in a larger cohort for confirmation," the authors conclude.

"Would you like to know the sex of your baby?"
Ottawa Public Health is pleased to present some of the ups and downs of breastfeeding as experienced by local mothers on our blog this week.
"Would you like to know the sex of your baby"? It was a question that my husband and I pondered for the first 19 weeks of my second pregnancy. So, we decided to have that question answered, and got the response at a routine ultrasound. So there we were, holding our breath, waiting for three little words. "It's a….BOY"!!! We were overjoyed to learn that we were going to be blessed with a boy. It was an emotional high that I will never forget, and I can still live in that moment. But as quickly as it came, that moment began to pass. I could tell that the tech was not sharing something with us. The next series of questions, only confirmed my suspicions, and we had answers within the hour.
Customer: "I'd like a kid's bean and cheese burrito."
Me: "Alright, would you like a fountain drink, juice, or milk?"
Customer: *turns to her child* "Okay, do you want soda or juice?"
Customer's daughter: "I just want water."
Customer: "But soda's better for you!"
Preventing Back-to-School Back Pain
School has returned, and unfortunately that means so has back pain. Backpacks are major contributors to back pain, both in children and adults. Here are some tips to help you protect your back throughout the coming school year.
- Wearing backpacks with only one strap on one shoulder is not only a fading fashion trend, but it puts more weight on one side of your body. This imbalance creates stress on the spine, ribs, and neck, which can cause multiple areas of discomfort. Pick comfort over fashion!
- A backpack's weight is supposed to be distributed evenly across one's back so there is not stress on one specific spot. Try purchasing a backpack that has wide and padded straps because if the straps are too thin, they can affect circulation. This bag for example, has great padding that will improve comfort.
- A bag with multiple compartments, such as this one, distributes the weight better.
- For those experiencing great discomfort, try a rolling bag. This takes off any stress and allows you to simply roll wherever you have to go.

Needless to say, I never developed a taste for the soup. I tried it again when I visited Poland as an adult. It was interesting but nothing that made me go Wow!

Gene Rigelon: Most secular nations are stable, peaceful, wealthy
By Gene Rigelon
Religious fundamentalists share a common belief that worship of God and obedience to his laws is essential to a peaceful, healthy society. Furthermore, fundamentalists maintain that when large numbers of people in a society reject God or fail to make him the center of their lives, social disintegration is sure to follow. If turning away from God is at the root of all society's ills, one would expect that the least religious nations would be bastions of crime, poverty and disease and that the most religious nations would be models of love and compassion.
Such proves not to be the case. In a comparison of religious countries to irreligious countries, the most secular countries are the most stable, peaceful, free, wealthy and healthy societies in the world. One must be careful to distinguish totalitarian nations where atheism is forced on people from democratic nations where atheism is freely chosen by a well education population.
A United Nations Human Development report looking at issues of infant mortality, poverty, homicide rates, literacy, per capita income, education, and gender equality found that the top three "happiest countries" to be Norway Denmark and Sweden, the nations with the highest percentage of non-believers. Sweden: 64-85 percent, Denmark: 48-80 percent, Norway: 54-72 percent.
In the United States, only 3 to 7 percent of the people do not believe in God, making it one of the most religious nations of the western industrialized world. Sadly, it ranks a distant eighth on the above mentioned "Human Development Index."
When compared to the other developed, industrialized nations, the United States has far higher homicide, poverty, obesity and homelessness rates than any of its more secular peer nations. It is the only western-style democracy that does not provide universal health care for all its citizens. The fact is, the extremely secular nations such as those mentioned above are much safer, cleaner, healthier, better educated and more humane compared to the United State despite the latter's strong disposition to theism.
That is not to say that if we all became atheists it would solve the nation's ills. The factors that determine a nation's ills such as poverty or illiteracy are far more complicated. The conclusion one should get from this discussion is that high levels of irreligion do not automatically result in a breakdown of civilization, and that religion is the only path to a righteous society. The fundamentalist pious solution is clearly not supported by the facts. Belief in God may be a comfort to the individual believer, but at a societal level it does not at all compare favorably with more secular societies.
Despite claims to the contrary from the fundamentalists, one can be good without God. Morality is not about sinners and saints, heaven and hell, damnation and punishment. It is the coming together of the religious and non-religious communities in preventing unnecessary human suffering and promoting human dignity. Being good springs from within. It is nurtured by people who are energized by the bonds of love and who sympathize with the plight of those in need and are dedicated to make the world a better place.
The answer to a more stable and loving society is not bringing the Ten Commandments in the public schools, rather we must teach our children the following commitments to their fellow human beings.
ALTRUISM: I will help others without hope for rewards.
CARING FOR THE WORLD: I will help take care of the earth.
CRITICAL THINKING: I will question everything I'm not sure about.
EMPATHY: I will stop to think about how others feel.
ETHICAL DEVELOPMENT: I will be truthful, kind and fair.
GLOBAL AWARENESS: I will be a good neighbor to the people who share the earth with me and do what I can to make the world a better place for everyone.
HUMAN RIGHTS: I will stand up for everyone's rights to be themselves and to find their own happiness.
PEACE AND SOCIAL JUSTICE: I will help people solve their problems and handle disagreements without violence.
RESPONSIBILITY: I will tell the truth, help others, keep my promises, obey the law and be a good citizen.
SERVICE AND PARTICIPATION: I will help my community in ways that let me get to know those who need my help.
I promise - and really mean - to do each of these 10 things.

The stream then undergoes a series of alternating Prandtl-Meyer expansions and oblique shocks, causing portions of the flow to be hotter then colder. The hotter sections give off a distinctive glow, leading to the visualization of the shock diamonds.


text: June 30, 2014 Issue The Mail Letters from our readers. Table of Contents LITERARY WARNINGS Rebecca Mead, in her piece on trigger warnings, the shootings at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and the #YesAllWomen campaign, offers a thoughtful and historically informed approach (Comment, June 9th & 16th). The purpose of trigger warnings is not, as some have argued, to make participants in a class discussion feel that they're in a "safe space." Trigger warnings serve to prevent panic attacks or flashbacks that impede one's ability to engage in discussion. (I speak as a college professor with P.T.S.D.) They are intended to enable everyone to remain present and alert enough to be challenged and discomfited. Margaret Price Atlanta, Ga. I studied in the great-books program at St. John's College, in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I cannot imagine what might happen to the excellent curriculum there if trigger warnings were to be introduced. To concern ourselves with who might be offended could endanger the program and rob participants of a singular experience. No work of philosophy, literature, art, mathematics, or science is meant to target one group of people—anything that has persevered in the Western canon is for all of us. To attempt to temper all that might be deemed threatening or insensitive is to demean us. Meri Hamilton Palm City, Fla. EYES ON THE BALL David Owen's article on a condition that afflicts golfers deftly brought to light emerging research on dystonia, a little-known neurological disorder that manifests in surprisingly diverse ways and in people of all ages and backgrounds ("The Yips," May 26th). The early symptoms of dystonia are often subtle, and are easily explained away as "sleeping wrong" and waking up with a sore neck, straining the voice from speaking too much, or eye allergies. Individuals with dystonia may go years without a proper diagnosis, but prompt diagnosis is critical, because research suggests that treatment outcomes may improve with early intervention. Art Kessler President, Dystonia Medical Research Foundation Chicago, Ill. When I read Owen's article concerning neuromuscular hand spasms that occur in golfers, musicians, and others, I was reminded of how ahead of its time the Alexander Technique was and still is, more than a hundred years since Frederick Matthias Alexander made his discoveries. I am a pianist and a singer as well as a teacher of the technique, which helps people move more freely and relieves muscle tension by developing the mind-body connection. Alexander's book "The Use of the Self" has a chapter called "The Golfer Who Cannot Keep His Eyes on the Ball." If George Bernard Shaw and Aldous Huxley (both students of Alexander) had read Owen's article, they might have suggested that the golfers mentioned would do themselves a lot of good by taking some Alexander lessons.
