Endowed Fund for The Breast Cancer Site Researcher at Mayo Clinic
Roll over image to zoom in
Every moment counts in the fight against breast cancer and in the search for a cure. And now, The Breast Cancer Site has found one more way to help. We've created The Breast Cancer Site Endowed Fund for Breast Cancer Research at Mayo Clinic.
Help us fund this endowment. Contributions to the fund are matched by Mayo Clinic up to $250,000, so your contribution is doubled to make an even greater difference.
Mayo Clinic is a not-for-profit organization and is one of the world's preeminent tertiary care, medical research and education facilities. At its three locations in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota, Mayo Clinic thoroughly diagnoses and treats complex medical problems in every specialty. Its Comprehensive Cancer Center is the only National Cancer Society- designated cancer center with a national presence.
Comprehensive Cancer Center designations are earned through a rigorous, peer-review process that is repeated every five years. Institutions must demonstrate scientific excellence in research programs; clinical excellence in treating cancer patients; outstanding educational programs for both biomedical professionals and the public; and strong outreach programs.
More than 16,000 new cancer patients come to Mayo Clinic every year because they know they will receive the best care possible.
Mayo's mission is to provide the best care to every patient every day through integrated clinical practice, education and research. Mayo Clinic is based on the idea of "cooperative medicine." Teams of experts combine their skills and experience to help solve people's medical problems. Mayo continually searches for better ways of diagnosis and treatment, with the ultimate goal of eradicating disease.
Here are just a few of the many headlines from Mayo Clinic's cancer research activities:
- "New Study of Targeted Therapies for Breast Cancer Establishes Model for Global Clinical Trials."
- "Breast Cancer Risk Varies In Young Women with Benign Breast Disease, Mayo Researchers Say"
- "Mayo Researchers Find Potential Links Between Breast Density and Breast Cancer Risk"
- "Mayo Clinic Research on Tamoxifen Leads to Recommendation for CYP2D6 Gene Test"
With your help we can understand more fully the biology of breast cancer.
With your help we can discover new ways to predict, prevent, diagnose and treat breast cancer.
With your help we can transform the lives of breast cancer patients today and in the future.
About The Endowed Fund
The Mayo endowment is a pool of permanent funds whose purpose is to provide a perpetual stream of annual financial support for Mayo Clinic. The Mayo endowment traces its roots to a series of large gifts made by Clinic founders, Drs. William J. and Charles H. Mayo, between 1915 and 1934. During this period, the brothers set up the charitable not-for-profit organization now known as Mayo Clinic, to which they contributed the assets of their then privately-owned practice, and gave large personal sums to help sustain its research and education programs.
Once fully funded, interest earned from the endowed fund for breast cancer research will be used to pay the salary of a breast cancer researcher at Mayo Clinic. The Breast Cancer Site Endowed Fund for Breast Cancer Research at Mayo Clinic will fund breast cancer research in perpetuity.
Mayo Clinic, Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research (MFMR), and Mayo's fundraising efforts do not endorse any companies, their related partners, manufacturers, or products.

Need help with join
I have a query that isn't working the way I think it should:
PHP Code:
SELECT E.last_name,
COUNT(ED.id) AS dcnt FROM Employees E
LEFT JOIN EmpDepts ED ON E.id = ED.emp_id
WHERE E.company_index = 63
GROUP BY E.last_name HAVING dcnt = 0
PHP Code:
id company_index emp_id dept_id
882 63 1064 479
883 63 1064 477
If no department is assigned to an employee, there will be no record in the EmpDepts table for that employee record id.
That top query that isn't working should be returning 6 records out of my 200 records because 6 are not assigned to any departments, but my query is returning only 2 records, thus, missing other 4 who have not been assigned to any departments.
I've checked the record structure of the 2 records that are being 'caught' by the top query vs the 4 that are not being caught and I can't see any differences. I think the main thing about that query is that I've manually verified that they are not in the EmpDepts table...so I'm puzzled as to why the query doesn't catch all 6 records.
Thanks for any help.

this is what you want:
this is how to get it:6 are not assigned to any departments
you don't need to count as count is 0 anyway.Code:SELECT E.last_name FROM Employees E LEFT JOIN EmpDepts ED ON E.id = ED.emp_id WHERE ED.emp_id is null and E.company_index = 63

That query works in this particular instance, but it will fail in most other situations.
When you use a condition in the WHERE clause that refers to the *dependent* table in an outer join (that is, the RIGHT table in a LEFT JOIN, for example), you just converted that outer join into an INNER join!!!
The sole exception to this rule is when the condition you are testing is IS NULL (or IS NOT NULL) as Bubikol is doing here.
For other conditions, you *MUST* move the condition on the dependent table to the ON section of the query, thus (just an example, not applicable to this case):If the part of the condition there in red were moved to the WHERE, you would no longer have a LEFT JOIN.Code:SELECT E.last_name FROM Employees E LEFT JOIN EmpDepts ED ON E.id = ED.emp_id AND ED.dept_no <> 17 WHERE E.company_index = 63
Again, not relevant in this case, but a fair warning for the future.
Be yourself. No one else is as qualified.

Slow-Cooked Lemon Chicken Recipe
- 6 bone-in chicken breast halves (12 ounces each), skin removed
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup water
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
- Hot cooked rice
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Combine the oregano, seasoned salt and pepper; rub over chicken. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the chicken in butter; transfer to a 5-qt. slow cooker. Add water, lemon juice, garlic and bouillon to the skillet; bring to a boil, stirring to loosen browned bits. Pour over chicken.
- Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours. Baste chicken with cooking juices. Add parsley. Cover and cook 15-30 minutes longer or until meat juices run clear. If desired, remove chicken to a platter and keep warm; thicken cooking juices. Serve over chicken and rice. Yield: 6 servings.
Light-Bodied White Wine
Enjoy this recipe with a light-bodied white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.
Reviews for Slow-Cooked Lemon Chicken
Sort By :
"I read the reviews prior to trying this and I too, used boneless thighs and added a can of cream of mushroom soup, without altering the lemon juice or any of the other ingredients. Delicious! My picky husband LOVED this! My new go to chicken recipe! It would be amazing with mushrooms!"
"Flavor was good, but meat wasn't tender."
"I made this last night and it was amazing with a few modifications. I used boneless skinless chicken breasts and followed a few of the reviews on the recipe. I used less lemon juice because I didn't want the lemon to be too overpowering. I sauteed fresh mushrooms and spinach in the lemon/water mixture. I then poured that over the chicken in the crockpot and added a can of cream of mushroom soup. I added the soup because I wanted more sauce to serve over rice. I also only cooked it for 3 hours on low in my crockpot. The chicken was very moist and flavorful. I think I have a new favorite recipe!"
"I've learned that today's slow cookers are a lot hotter than the old ones. With that in mind, I cut back the time to about 4 hours and had a moist, flavorful chicken. The cooking juices would make a flavorful gravy or base to soup."
"I plan to make this recipe this week but I like using chicken thighs.for their flavor and moistness. I will let you know how it turns out. I did make this recipe with chicken thighs and it turned out great. I floured and browned the thighs so the sauce had some body to it. I cooked it on the stove in my dutch kettle slowly since my crock pot is too large for the four thighs I cooked. I change my rating to 4 stars."

The Basic Sciences Symposium, held annually at the American Urological Association (AUA) Annual Meeting, is a premier research event attracting basic scientists, surgeon-scientists, and urologic investigators from various specialties. Past program topics include stems cells and nanotechnology and, more recently, inflammation and fibrosis.
The 2014 AUA Basic Sciences Symposium, "New Perspectives in Pelvic Health", will be held at the 2014 AUA Annual Meeting in Orlando, Florida on Friday, May 16, 2014 from 1 – 5 p.m.
The conference benefits from the synergy of new investigators and successful senior researchers in a stimulating and informative setting. The information discussed and shared during this meeting will assist in translating basic and clinical research to practical application. It is also intended to serve as a forum where young investigators have the opportunity to meet and interact with leaders in the fields of genomics, neuroscience, and multiple other areas of particular relevance to lower urinary tract dysfunction. By learning about the potential roles of factors that affect pelvic health in men and women, junior investigators and other attendees will be in better positions to understand the pathogenesis of benign pelvic disorders and to formulate novel translational approaches. The connections made during the meeting are expected to stimulate research collaborations and promote this exciting area of research to the next generation of investigators.
The Program Co-Chairs are: Lori Birder PhD, Professor of Medicine and Pharmacology, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine; Toby Chai MD, Vice Chair for Research, and Director of the Female Pelvic Medicine Reconstruction Surgery Program, Yale University School of Medicine; and Tamara Bavendam MD, Program Director, Women's Urologic Health, NIDDK.
The meeting is organized into three scientific sessions with ample question and answer periods. To add breadth and to emphasize the need for urgent progress in this area, the meeting will also feature a "Public Perspective" session to be provided by Missy Lavender, the Executive Director of the Women's Health Foundation. Leaders of the AUA and its affiliated specialty societies, including the Society for Basic Urology Research (SBUR), the Society for Urodynamics and Female Urology (SUFU), and the Society for Infection and Inflammation in Urology will be specifically invited to attend. Also in attendance will be Program Officers from NIDDK and National Institute of Aging.

pork tenderloin
Excellent! The best and easiest pork tenderloin recipe I have ever found! I have also used the marinade for chicken breasts --They are great. I usually marinade them the night before and they turn out great! I cook the pork tenderloins to about 150 degrees and then wrap them in foil for 20 to 30 minutes and they turn out perfectly.
I don't think we are picky eaters but I found this just made the meat taste like pop, no one liked this in the family. I used grape pop. Will not be making this again.

Loved it....but made a few changes the second time. I find cola works better than fruit-flavored sodas. Fruity ones impart TOO much of THEIR flavor. I also cut the brown sugar in half. The soda makes it sweet enough. 20 minutes on the grill and your ready to eat! Delicious!!
We used Coke instead of a fruit soda. We had no problem finding the plum jam; it right there in the supermarket with all the other jellies and jams. This was great! We made it for Christmas Eve and had plenty of leftovers for sandwiches. We were sorry to run out!!!
My husband loved it; I thought it was okay. But I baked it instead of grilling it (350 for 45 minutes) Definitely need a meat thermoter for this one...or cook it less than 45 minutes. It is very juicy and tender. I served it with the mushroom rice from this site with steamed brocolli and the meal was very good. Well, anytime my husband says: "can you make this again?" means it is REALLY good.
This is a great summertime BBQ recipe because you can do most of it ahead of time. I used Dr. Brown's Black Cherry Soda for the marinade and did it the day before. The glaze gets nice and crispy on the outside and the pork is so tender and flavorful, everyone loved it. It goes well with a variety of salads--especially a spinach and strawberry salad. It is one of my favorites.
I thought this was good, not great. No one else in my family cared for it. It tasted exactly like blackcherry soda. I marinated overnight. we couldn't taste anyother flavors. My husband piled on the salt and pepper, and said "pork shouldn't be sweet." Then I made a suggestion of using regular cola, but everyone told me not to make this anymore. Although I will not make this again I will give this four stars because, I thought it was o.k, and because there was not a piece left on the platter. Everyone ate theirs, therefor it was not disgusting. and it was very tender. I baked at 425 for 30 minutes (put on foil, sure made a mess on my jelly roll pan) I would suggest only marinating for a few hours, maybe two.
Wonderful! I made this for my mother-in-law's birthday and my husband was grilling tenderloin for the first time. Everyone loved the moist flavor. I used plum preserves instead of the jam. We didn't even have any leftovers. Definetly a new family favorite. Thank You!

Lewis Hamilton believes Mercedes have made strides forward since the beginning of the season having set the pace in Bahrain practice...
Lewis Hamilton believes Mercedes have made strides forward since the beginning of the season having set the pace in Bahrain practice.
Arriving in Bahrain on the back of his Malaysian Grand Prix victory, Hamilton remained the driver to beat ahead of his team-mate Nico Rosberg.
Putting in the laps at the Sakhir circuit under the lights on Friday night, the Mercedes driver clocked a 1:34.325 to edge Rosberg by 0.365. The Brit, though, was a full second up on third placed Fernando Alonso.
Bahrain also gave the first indication of how far teams had come since the start of the season as the Sakhir circuit played host to the final two pre-season tests.
And Hamilton is very happy with his team's notable improvement.
"It's been a pretty decent day," he said.
"I've loved driving and the car feels better here now than it did when we were here testing.
"I've a much better feel of where I need to put the car, so I'm very happy with the practice sessions.
"Of course, it's definitely good to come here off a positive weekend, with that momentum, but we still have a lot of work to do to really dial in the car, both in qualifying and the race.
"It's still going to be tough, a real challenge, particularly with the temperatures dropping all the time, so the balance is shifting throughout the run.
"But we feel strong, I feel strong in the car, so let's hope it is the case."
The 2008 World Champion, though, conceded that Friday's times don't always count for much given that teams all run different programs.
"Nico's very quick, he's very competitive," he added. "Today you don't really know what fuel those [other] people are on so it's difficult to really know where you stand. Tomorrow we'll get a better understanding."
As for Formula One's first foray under the lights at the Sakhir circuit, Hamilton revealed that it caused a few issues with the tyres.
"The track temperature was 38-40 degrees and then this afternoon was a lot cooler, about ten degrees, so it's just really not trying to panic and react [to the change].
"We struggled a bit on the tyres as everyone did."

Eight-time Daytime Emmy Award® winner Bradley (Brad) Phillip Bell is executive producer and head writer of the most watched daily dramatic serial in the world, The Bold and the Beautiful.
Born in Chicago, Illinois on June 29, 1964, Bell is one of three children born to the legendary television pioneers, Lee Phillip Bell, an Emmy Award®- winning broadcast journalist and talk show personality and the late Emmy Award®- winning William J. Bell, who along with his wife created two of the most popular daytime dramas ever, The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful.
After graduating from the Chicago Latin School, Bell attended the University of Colorado at Boulder, the University of Wisconsin at Madison, and concluded his studies at UCLA, majoring in television production.
With two years on the writing staff of The Young and the Restless under the guidance of his father, Bell was integral in the creation and launch of The Bold and the Beautiful in 1987. Bell was promoted to associate producer in 1989 and again to supervising producer in 1992. Bell took over the reins of The Bold and the Beautiful from his father, becoming head writer in 1993, and then executive producer in 1995.
Under Bell's leadership, The Bold and the Beautiful vaulted from the sixth-rated daytime drama to the third-ranked series during the 1992-1993 season. Today, The Bold and the Beautiful is firmly established as the second-ranked daytime serial under its sister show, The Young and the Restless in the United States of America.
In a sweep during the 38th Annual Daytime Entertainment Emmy Awards® on June 19, 2011, Bell and his producing team received their third consecutive Emmy® for "Outstanding Drama Series" for The Bold and the Beautiful. Bell also received the Emmy® for "Outstanding Drama Series Writing" in 2010 and the Emmy® for "Outstanding Achievement in Music Direction and Composition for a Drama Series" in 2010 and 2011.
Bell has been married to fellow Chicagoan Colleen Bradley Bell since October 1991 and is the proud father of Bradley Chasen, Caroline Catherine, Charlotte Cordelia & Oliver Phillip.
In June 2013, The Bold and the Beautiful received its eighth Golden Nymph Award at the International TV Audience Awards in the "Telenovela/Soap Opera" category at the Monte Carlo Television Festival. In 2011, The Bold and the Beautiful received its third consecutive Emmy® award for "Outstanding Daytime Drama Series". In 2010, Guinness World Records® named The Bold and the Beautiful the Most Popular Daytime Soap Currently on TV. The Bold and the Beautiful is the most watched daytime drama series in the world, seen daily by millions of people in over 100 countries.
The Bold and the Beautiful, which celebrated its 27th anniversary on March 23, 2014, is a Bell-Phillip Television production, broadcast weekdays (1:30-2:00 PM, ET, 12:30-1:00 PM PT) on the CBS Television Network. It is the first and only daytime drama to simulcast in Spanish utilizing SAP (Secondary Audio Program) technology. Bradley P. Bell is the Executive Producer and Head Writer.

I saw the idea for a really cute ceramic planter tower on Pinterest, but there were not detailed instructions on how to do it. I went to Lowe's and used one of their cool craft idea sheets and the photo from Pinterest to make my own version of what I call the Tipsy Plant Tower. This is the finished product. I planted different herbs in each pot (draping rosemary, oregano, thyme, mint, lavender and sage, but it would be really pretty with flowers too. This was my first attempt and will be given as a class gift for a favorite teacher who enjoys cooking (and I turned it so it doesn't show on the picture but each small pot is labeled with the name and birthdate of her five grandchildren and the bottom pot says "Mimi and Poppy's Garden Treasures."
I've never created an instructable file before, so bear with me. I'll try hard not to leave anything out.
Step 1: Here's what you will need:
One 10.5" azalea pot
One 12" terra-cotta saucer (the ones that go under the plants to catch liquid)
Acrylic paints (various colors)
Paint brushes
Turkey baster with bulb removed (I pressed it in paint to make the outline of the polka dots)
Two cans of Valspar Clear Sealer Gloss for Interior/Exterior
Seven 1/2"-13 hot-dipped galvanized zinc hex nuts
One 1/2"-13 acorn-nut
Seven 1/2x1-1/2" Zinc-plated fender washers
One Steelworks 1/2-13 x 3' threaded rod (Lowe's has them cut to this size already)
Handheld drill
Skil 6 x 1/2" Masonry Bit (around $5 if you don't have one)
parchment paper
I like how they used the wood blocks in the big pot to increase stability. For mine, I used the upside down saucer as a base so that I could put it on a porch instead of in the ground, and I used a threaded rod so that I could just twist the hex nuts and fender washers into place. I will try to add some more pictures of that part, but it basically is just hand tightening the hex nuts into the right place.
Have a great day!
The hardest thing for me was drilling the hole in the saucer. It wasn't actually "hard" but I was nervous about it as I am crafty but not really handy with tools typically. It turned out to be easy and I felt very handy-person cool after that. :)
Thanks for the so clever, fun idea.
You don't happen to have photos of the actual construction do you? That's the actual useful information I would need as I am pretty sure I can figure out how to paint a pot, but I'm not clear on how you constructed the whole contraption. Is it stable?
Should worry that it will fall over and hurt my small child if a crow lands on it? Is it likely the metal pole will crack a pot and cause it will fall?
I delivered it this morning, but will try to take a close up picture on the next one I make (for myself this time!). :) This was my first instructable attempt and I did it as an after thought so my pictures are not very helpful. Sorry for that.
However, it really looks way more complex than it is. The hardest part was just twisting the various hex nuts up and down a little to make each pot sit just right. They will sit straight up and down until you fill them with planting soil. The weight of the soil is what helps them tip. I tipped each pot to the position I wanted and then filled it with soil so that it would stay in the right position.
In terms of stability, that was one of my big concerns with the one that I saw on another website. It was done on a simple metal pole and stuck in the ground. We live in Texas and have high winds occasionally, plus I have two busy kids and an overactive big dog. I was concerned that they would knock it over and get hurt. My way to make it more stable was to use the heavy threaded rod and the upside down saucer with the large (heavy) azalea pot as the bottom pot. It definitely helps with stability and it allows you to put it on a patio or porch rather than in the ground.
While it is definitely stable enough to withstand light bumps from my kids and dog (and the neighborhood crows), a climbing toddler could definitely pull it over. I always recommend erring on the side of caution if you have a little one. My daughter (6) helped me water the plants during the two weeks that we were waiting to deliver it to her teacher, and despite bumping it, had no issues. My large lab with the wild wagging tail also bumped it numerous times and it was fine.
Hope that helps. I will try to take more pictures on future crafts just in case I put them on instructables again.

Throat cancer refers to cancerous tumors that develop in your throat (pharynx), voice box (larynx) or tonsils.
Your throat is a muscular tube that begins behind your nose and ends in your neck. Your voice box sits just below your throat and is also susceptible to throat cancer. The voice box is made of cartilage and contains the vocal cords that vibrate to make sound when you talk. Throat cancer can also affect the piece of cartilage (epiglottis) that acts as a lid for your windpipe. Tonsil cancer, another form of throat cancer, affects the tonsils, which are located on the back of the throat.
You can reduce your risk of throat cancer by not smoking, not chewing tobacco and limiting alcohol use.
Signs and symptoms of throat cancer may include:
Make an appointment with your doctor if you notice any new signs and symptoms that are persistent. Most throat cancer symptoms aren't specific to cancer, so your doctor will likely investigate other more common causes first.
Throat cancer occurs when cells in your throat develop genetic mutations. These mutations cause cells to grow uncontrollably and continue living after healthy cells would normally die. The accumulating cells can form a tumor in your throat.
It's not clear what causes the mutation that causes throat cancer. But doctors have identified factors that may increase your risk.
Throat cancer is a general term that applies to cancer that develops in the throat (pharyngeal cancer) or in the voice box (laryngeal cancer). The throat and the voice box are closely connected, with the voice box located just below the throat.
Though most throat cancers involve the same types of cells, specific terms are used to differentiate the part of the throat where cancer originated.
Factors that can increase your risk of throat cancer include:
Start by seeing your family doctor or a general practitioner if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you. If your doctor suspects you may have cancer or another disease that affects your throat, you may be referred to a doctor who specializes in diseases and conditions that affect the ears, nose or throat (otolaryngologist, or ENT specialist).
Because appointments can be brief, and because there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well prepared. Here's some information to help you get ready, and what to expect from your doctor.
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions can help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For throat cancer, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask other questions that occur to you.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may allow time later to cover points you want to address. Your doctor may ask:
If you use tobacco, stop. Avoid doing things that worsen your symptoms. If you have throat pain, avoid foods and drinks that cause further irritation. If you're having trouble eating because of throat pain, consider nutritional supplement drinks. These may be less irritating to your throat, while still offering the calories and nutrients you need.
In order to diagnose throat cancer, your doctor may recommend:
Once throat cancer is diagnosed, the next step is to determine the extent, or stage, of the cancer. Knowing the stage helps determine your treatment options.
The stage of throat cancer is characterized with the Roman numerals I through IV. Each subtype of throat cancer has its own criteria for each stage. In general, stage I throat cancer indicates a smaller tumor confined to one area of the throat. Later stages indicate more advanced cancer, with stage IV being the most advanced.
Your treatment options are based on many factors, such as the location and stage of your throat cancer, the type of cells involved, your overall health, and your personal preferences. Discuss the benefits and risks of each of your options with your doctor. Together you can determine what treatments will be most appropriate for you.
Radiation therapy uses high-energy beams, such as X-rays, to deliver radiation to the cancer cells, causing them to die. Radiation therapy can come from a large machine outside your body (external beam radiation). Or radiation therapy can come from small radioactive seeds and wires that can be placed inside your body, near your cancer (brachytherapy).
For early-stage throat cancers, radiation therapy may be the only treatment necessary. For more advanced throat cancers, radiation therapy may be combined with chemotherapy or surgery. In very advanced throat cancers, radiation therapy may be used to reduce signs and symptoms and make you more comfortable.
The types of surgical procedures you may consider to treat your throat cancer depend on the location and stage of your cancer. Options may include:
Surgery carries a risk of bleeding and infection. Other possible complications, such as difficulty speaking or swallowing, will depend on the specific procedure you undergo.
Chemotherapy uses chemicals to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy is often used along with radiation therapy in treating throat cancers. Certain chemotherapy drugs make cancer cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. But combining chemotherapy and radiation therapy increases the side effects of both treatments. Discuss with your doctor the side effects you're likely to experience and whether combined treatments will offer benefits that outweigh those effects.
Targeted drugs treat throat cancer by taking advantage of specific defects in cancer cells that fuel the cells' growth. Cetuximab (Erbitux) is one targeted therapy approved for treating throat cancer in certain situations. Cetuximab stops the action of a protein that's found in many types of healthy cells, but is more prevalent in certain types of throat cancer cells.
Other targeted drugs are being studied in clinical trials. Targeted drugs can be used in combination with chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
Treatment for throat cancer often causes complications that may require working with specialists to regain the ability to swallow, eat solid foods and talk. During and after throat cancer treatment, your doctor may have you seek help for:
Your doctor can discuss the potential side effects and complications of your treatments with you.
Throat cancers are closely linked to smoking. Not everyone with throat cancer smokes. But if you do smoke, now is the time to stop because:
Stopping smoking can be very difficult. And it's that much harder when you're trying to cope with a stressful situation, such as a cancer diagnosis. Your doctor can discuss all of your options, including medications, nicotine replacement products and counseling.
Alcohol, particularly when combined with smoking or chewing tobacco, greatly increases the risk of throat cancer. If you drink alcohol, stop now. This may help reduce your risk of a second cancer. Stopping drinking may also help you better tolerate your throat cancer treatments.
No alternative treatments have proved helpful in treating throat cancer. However, some complementary and alternative treatments may help you cope with your diagnosis and with the side effects of throat cancer treatment. Talk to your doctor about your options.
Alternative treatments you may find helpful include:
Being diagnosed with cancer can be devastating. Throat cancer affects a part of your body that is vital to everyday activities, such as breathing, eating and talking. In addition to worrying about how these basic activities may be affected, you may also be concerned about your treatments and chances for survival.
Though you may feel like your life — your survival — is out of your hands, you can take steps to feel more in control and to cope with your throat cancer diagnosis. To cope, try to:
There's no proven way to prevent throat cancer from occurring. But in order to reduce your risk of throat cancer, you can:

It was a day in mid-September. David and Jennifer Paulk of Park Hall paused from their morning work at their certified organic Sassafras Creek Farm in Leonardtown. Standing next to rows and rows of vegetable plants, they talked about what drew them into farming as a second career.
That morning, they and a couple of part-time workers were harvesting Swiss chard, sweet peppers, hot peppers, cucumbers and sweet potatoes. The farm, which the Paulks purchased in 2010, includes 83 acres, but the Paulks have a little less than three acres of that in production.
They make the most of that space, growing about 90 varieties of vegetables, small fruit and herbs.
The temperature was at that just-right, in-between summer and fall level. The sun was shining. There was a soft breeze. It was quiet and peaceful and green.
No fluorescent lights.
No computer screens.
No neckties, no high heels, no bosses.
It all made farming look pretty good.
The Paulks sell the majority of their produce directly to consumers at local farmers markets. The rest they sell to restaurants and stores in the region that are interested in locally grown fresh foods and/or unusual ingredients that the Paulks agree to grow for them. They have a long row of hot Espelette peppers, normally grown in the Basque region of France and Spain that a chef in Baltimore contracted Sassafras Farms to grow.
"It's very rewarding," Jennifer said of their business, which she works at in addition to a full-time job as an environmental scientist in support of the Navy. "The customers — they're fabulous. They're so supportive."
David retired a few years ago after 26 years in the Navy, the last four years of which he was commuting to Annapolis for work as a program manager. It was a job that required long hours and included "a lot of stress."
While many move into the contracting world as soon as they complete their military service, "that didn't call to me," he said.
Instead, he looked to the garden that he and Jennifer had established at every place they lived. It was a hobby that had become increasingly important to the couple. "The more stressful my job got, the bigger the garden got," David said.
He and Jennifer tried their hand at selling some produce from their garden in Park Hall, where they currently live. They found a market immediately. They could see there is a demand for fresh produce in the area.
A large-scale operation was out of the question. Not only is property expensive, it is difficult to find in the area. So, the Paulks studied the idea of small-scale farming. After visiting small farms at different areas in the country where there is a burgeoning movement of small, sustainable farming businesses, they decided to take the plunge and invest in the property in Leonardtown that is now Sassafras Creek Farm.
"It is super exciting," David said.
He said people ask, "Can I do that?"
"Yes, you can," David said. "It's not easy. It's hard work. But, it's achievable."
Southern Maryland, a region that once was characterized by farmers and farms that were regularly passed down through the generations. Several things changed that — the tobacco buyout more than a dozen years ago caused some to give up farming altogether, and development pressures led to many family farms being carved up into housing developments. In addition, young people increasingly chose to look elsewhere for a career, not seeing a future in farming any longer.
That trend may be changing. People like the Paulks are giving a second look to farming as a way to make a living, particularly small-scale farming that doesn't require a large inherited farm property.
And that's a good thing, says Greg Bowen, Maryland FarmLINK director with the Southern Maryland Agricultural Development Commission. The region needs more farmers.
Several years ago, Bowen noted, people raised the alarm that farmers were getting older, and younger farmers weren't replacing them. The 2007 Census of Agriculture showed that the average age of a farmer in the United States was 57. "But in Southern Maryland, we believe that average age is even older," Bowen said. And the census showed that the fastest-growing group of farm operators is those 65 and older.
And even if there are people interested in getting into farming, much that used to support that career path has been dismantled over the years — agriculture programs in the schools and Future Farmers of America clubs had lapsed and the once-large network of nearby farmers who could offer advice and assistance and share equipment had dwindled.
Gradually, a number of programs were established to assist new farmers, new programs that are trying to take the place of the support structure that used to exist.
Bowen's program, Maryland FarmLINK, for instance, was set up to link up farmers who are retiring with young or new farmers looking for land, information and mentoring, "everything that beginning farmers need," Bowen said.
Maryland FarmLINK received a funding boost last year, when several partnering agencies in Maryland won a $700,000 grant from the USDA, allowing Maryland FarmLINK to expand from just Southern Maryland farm properties to farm properties throughout the state. The grant also beefed up the mentoring program that the Southern Maryland Agricultural Development Commission offers farmers.
The Beginner Farmer Training Program, offered by Future Harvest-CASA (Chesapeake Alliance for Sustainable Agriculture), is another program in the state designed to assist people trying to start a career in farming that benefitted from the grant. Now in its fifth year, the year-long program offers new farmers a training conference, classes and workshops and then seven months of working with a trainer farmer at the trainer's farm.
David Paulk went through Future Harvest-CASA's Beginner Farmer Training Program in 2011. At that time, the training was in Baltimore County and the trainer farmer he worked with, Jack Gurley, farmed in Sparks. Paulk traveled 100 miles once a week during that year to participate in the program.
"That kind of real world experience, you can't do without," Jennifer said.
David learned, among other things, "how to grow successive plantings," he said. That knowledge allows the Paulks to harvest produce from April through December, making their business operation more viable.
"You can make a living in small-scale production," David said. "The rule of thumb is you can make $25,000 or more per acre gross in a small-scale vegetable production."
The USDA grant allowed the Beginner Farming Training Program to expand, said Cathy Tipper, Future Harvest director of training. In the five years that the program has existed, 25 people like David Paulk have completed the program. This year, it is accepting application for 11 new farmers slots, Tipper said.
And because farmers like David were willing to drive the length of the state to get trained, it will be easier for other Southern Maryland residents to receive this training, as the Paulks have been approved to be trainers themselves in 2014.
The USDA grant also funded the creation of a website which has been developed by the University of Maryland Extension Service. Ben Beale, extension educator in agricultural sciences with the extension office in Leonardtown, is serving as one of the project leaders for the USDA grant collaborative. Beale said the new website, which is at http://extension.umd.edu/newfarmer, is intended to be a "single place to go for basically everything [farmers] need to expand or launch a new farmer operation."
"There's lots of opportunities," Beale said of farming in Southern Maryland.
Tipper agreed that farming has a future in the region. "We're just seeing a lot more interest in buying local," she said. "We're not meeting demand ... It's only going to get bigger, I think."
Bowen said the challenges to getting into farming in Maryland are the capital equipment costs, the land costs and getting advice. Cost of farmland in Maryland, for instance, is three times the national average, Bowen said.
As far as capital equipment, David Paulk estimated that starting farmers would need to expect start-up costs should be a minimum of $15,000 for an acre or two.
But Bowen noted that people who want to farm in Maryland have a lot on their side. "We have a nice temperate climate ... We get average [annual] rainfall of 40 inches, and we have great access to an urban population," he said. He said the Washington, D.C., Baltimore and Northern Virginia market is the fourth largest urban region in the country "and the wealthiest and the highest educated."
The Paulks are benefitting from those assets. "The demand is huge," Jennifer said. She said they can see that area consumers want a selection of diverse, fresh, local produce, meat and eggs, and they want it to be convenient to buy.
"We think direct sales to the public is the hot ticket right now," David said.

Over the past year, the Department has worked with teams of accomplished professionals from several groups representing educators in specialized roles. This collaboration has resulted in the creation of role-specific evaluation instruments that districts may choose to adopt. While the Department does not require the use of these instruments, we support the educator groups in their efforts to promote the use of tools that address the specific job responsibilities of their members. As the Department continues to develop guidance for staff members in specialized roles, we will continue to learn from these groups and their partner districts during their first year of utilizing these evaluation instruments, which are listed below:
- Athletic Trainers: Instrument from ATSNJ
- School Counselors: NJSCA Evaluation Model
- Speech-Language Specialists: NJSHA Framework: Note that NJSHA has a licensing agreement and can only post information to members; the link provided above connects to the membership sign-in page.

Need to brush up on your typing skills?
Having both my free time projects and my job very keyboard focused, I have developed a pretty good skill at typing. Here recently though, I have been looking at a lot of free solutions to help my two nephews get more familiar with typing on a keyboard. Lets face it, by the time they are grown (unless we finally develop that mind reading technology) typing will become as important as learning how to write.
That is where the Numpad Typing Drills and Addictive Typing Lessons (both add-ons for Firefox) come into play.
Click on the screen shots to get a closer look at each Firefox add-on:
So if you want to become a better typist, or you know somebody who you would like to teach, these two add-ons are the perfect (and free) way to get the task done.
+ Pickup Numpad Typing Drills for Firefox
+ Pickup Addictive Typing Lessons for Firefox
Both extensions are great tools in helping even the best typists become better at their craft. Spruce up on your own typing skills and give both of these add-ons a shot.

There were 326,000 first-time claims filed for unemployment insurance last week, up by 16,000 from the week before, the Employment and Training Administration reported Thursday morning.
Although the number increased, claims remained at the lower end of the range they've been in for the past year and were running at a pace close to where they were before the economy sank into its latest recession in December 2007.
It was the last major data dump before Friday's Bureau of Labor Statistics report on job growth and the unemployment rate in March. According to Bloomberg News, economists expect to hear tomorrow that there were 200,000 jobs added to public and private payrolls last month. The unemployment rate likely stayed around the 6.7 percent level it touched in February.
On Wednesday, the ADP National Employment Report indicated that there were 191,000 jobs added to private companies' payrolls last month. That report sometimes signals what the BLS will say in its broader look at job growth.
