Researchers leading the Carolina Breast Cancer Study (CBCS) have enrolled the 3,000th participant for the study's third phase, making it the largest-ever population-based study of breast cancer in North Carolina and one of the largest in the world. This milestone completes enrollment and initiates the five year follow-up.
Launched in 1993, the study aims to improve understanding of breast cancer, including why the disease's fatality rate is higher in African-American women. Phase III will focus specifically on how treatment decisions, access to care, and financial or geographic barriers impact breast cancer outcomes and whether these outcomes are predictable or altered by genetic breast cancer subtypes. This recent enrollment milestone puts the total number of CBCS participants at over 7,300.
The latest study phase was named after the late Jeanne Hopkins Lucas. She was the first African-American woman to become a North Carolina state senator and she died of breast cancer in 2007. CBCS is conducted by the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health and UNC School of Medicine faculty with funding from the University Cancer Research Fund, the National Cancer Institute, UNC Breast SPORE and Susan G. Komen for the Cure®.
Participants were identified from a list of newly diagnosed breast cancer patients provided by the North Carolina Central Cancer Registry (NCCCR), which identifies and registers all new cancer diagnoses in the state. Participants were then selected through a scientifically sound, randomized process, and physicians were notified of the study's intent to contact their patient.
"We are so grateful for the tremendous interest and cooperation from the women approached for the study and our network of physicians and health care providers across the state to connect us with their patients," said Andy Olshan, PhD, the study's principal investigator and associate director of population sciences at UNC Lineberger.
Study participants were interviewed in their homes by trained nurses regarding breast cancer risk factors, quality of life, and medical history. A DNA blood or mouth rinse sample was also taken to help determine genetic factors that women have that might change their risk of getting breast cancer or change their response to therapy. A sample of their tumor is also obtained to understand the molecular changes that occur in their individual tumor.
Researchers also requested the participants' permission to access their medical records relating to breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, and to follow them for at least five years. All data will be held in strict confidence.
This landmark study, initiated 20 years ago by UNC Lineberger in the Breast Cancer SPORE grant, has changed the world's thinking about breast cancer and associated risk factors. "Dividing the diagnosis of breast cancer into at least four subtypes allowed the first phases of CBCS to determine that younger African American women were more likely to have an aggressive breast cancer subtype. The findings also showed that outcomes and even risk factors such as childbearing, weight and alcohol differed by subtype," said Shelton Earp, MD, UNC Lineberger Director. "CBCS III will delve deeper into the molecular genetics of subtypes in younger and older women and will follow women and their treatment. The findings will vastly improve our understanding of what works and what does not in community setting."
"This type of data will help us understand how genetic factors in the person and their tumor interact with treatment and access to health care. We can ask questions as to what influences survival, complications and quality of life. Specific modifiable factors such as breastfeeding and physical activity that could lower a women's risk of breast cancer are also being investigated," said Olshan.
The study also aims to further investigate subtypes of breast cancer that may be associated with different risk factor and prognosis profiles, continuing discoveries made in earlier phases of the study.
"CBCS participants are the real heroes; they will be contributing to changing our understanding of breast cancer therapy for their sisters and daughters," said Mary Beth Bell, MPH, who currently manages the study. "To celebrate the 3000th patient, we held four symposia for participants to learn more about the study this fall in Wilmington, Greenville, Concord and Chapel Hill."
Data from earlier CBCS research were key to a 2006 finding by a UNC Lineberger team that included the late Dr. Robert Millikan, PhD, DVM, Charles Perou, PhD, professor of genetics and pathology, and Lisa Carey, MD, physician-in chief of the N.C. Cancer Hospital and chief of the Division of Hematology and Oncology in the Department of Medicine. They found that premenopausal African-American breast cancer patients have the highest prevalence of a subtype of breast cancer called "basal like" cancer.

The findings offer, for the first time, a set of standard treatment guidelines for recurrence prevention in this group of patients. Previous studies of chemotherapy plus targeted therapy in women with HER2-positive breast cancer that hadn't spread to nearby lymph nodes included few patients whose tumors were comparatively small (less than 3 cm in diameter). The study used a combination of the chemotherapy agent paclitaxel and Herceptin, treating patients with the drug combination for 12 weeks, followed by nine months of Herceptin alone.
The lead author of the study is Sara Tolaney, MD, at Dana-Farber. Co-authors include Lisa A. Carey, MD, Richardson and Marilyn Jacobs Preyer Distinguished Professor in Breast Cancer Research at UNC Lineberger.

Smithies shares his 2007 Nobel Prize with Mario Capecchi of the University of Utah and Martin Evans of University College London for their work in developing the technique of gene targeting. Gene targeting has become a cornerstone of modern genetics and pharmaceutical research, allowing for the breeding of research animals that have specific genes turned on and off to allow researchers to investigate the function of genes and assist in developing treatments for a variety of genetically based disorders, including cancer.
"It is possible to modify a gene in a living cell in a planned way. That's gene targeting, and that was the first time anyone had been able to demonstrate that that was possible," said Smithies.
In 1982, Smithies' work as a geneticist revolved around finding a cure for sickle cell anemia. A decade earlier, researchers had developed the first genetic engineering techniques to allow molecular cloning, the modifying of an organism's genome by introducing DNA fragments from another organism. After reading an article from a cancer researcher who had changed the behavior of a petri dish full of cells using genetic engineering techniques, Smithies wondered if he could use the same techniques to make a targeted modification to a gene.
"The initial experiments that I did at that time were trying to find a way to correct a genetic abnormality. I thought that what I would like to do is find a way of using the DNA from a normal individual to change the mutated gene in the person that had sickle cell anemia. In that way, I'd help that person live a normal life," said Smithies.
It took Smithies three years to devise a working method. Unfortunately, the frequency of success was not high enough for clinical use, so Smithies began to look for another uses for gene targeting.
"It was too inefficient. It worked, but it worked very rarely," said Smithies.
His search led him to the work of two researchers with whom he shared the Nobel Prize – Martin Evans and Mario Capecchi. Evans had isolated embryonic stem cells and shown that inserting those stem cells into a developing mouse egg would lead to them being incorporated into the developed mouse. Using this technique, now known as homologous recombination, Smithies was able to correct a faulty gene in a mouse.
"I thought that if I can modify the embryonic stem cell in a planned way, I could add changes in different genes. And that would be very valuable, even if it would be difficult to do," said Smithies.
At the same time, Capecchi proved that gene targeting could be used to "knock out" genes from a mouse, effectively inactivating the genes. This improved the efficiency of the methods, creating a set of tools that have benefited researchers across the world and led to the development of the knockout mouse model of biological research. Both Evans and Capecchi have also been named to the AACR Academy.
"That's why the three of us together were important in that work. First of all showing that it was possible, that was my work. Showing that you could do experiments with mice in tissue culture, that was Martin Evans's work. Showing that you could get much better results and do important knock out experiments, that was Mario Capecchi's work," said Smithies.
The knockout mouse has become a central tool in the study of genetics. They have served as models for research into disorders such as cancer, aging, obesity, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, anxiety and substance abuse.
"Smithies quickly recognized the potential for applying the gene targeting technology to creating preclinical animal models of complex diseases in humans such as cancer. He noted that the mouse system is particularly valuable because the effects of combinations of genetic changes can be studied, and because environmental influences can be varied in a controlled fashion. His work led to the ability to systematically study endogenous mouse models for cancer," said Terry Magnuson, chair of the UNC Department of Genetics.
The inaugural class of Fellows will be inducted into the AACR Academy on April 5, 2013 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C. The induction ceremony will be followed by a meeting of the Academy on April 6, and special recognition of the inaugural Fellows during the opening plenary session on April 7. The AACR plans to induct new members annually at this event, with future classes consisting of no more than 11 fellows.]]>

UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center has received $50,000 in funding from the Colon Cancer Coalition to support development of interventions to promote colon cancer screening in primary care settings that serve diverse, vulnerable patient populations. Funds were raised during Get Your Rear in Gear – Raleigh, a 5K run/walk held annually in March.
"I'm absolutely delighted to receive this support from the Colon Cancer Coalition," said Dan Reuland, MD, associate professor of medicine in the division of general medicine and clinical epidemiology and UNC Lineberger member. "With this funding, we will be able to better reach vulnerable populations to increase access to screening tests and ease some of the barriers associated with language, culture and literacy."
Funds will be used to develop a series of multi-media, bi-lingual educational materials as well as provide support from a patient navigator trained to help patients overcome barriers to getting screened. Funding from the Coalition will extend this initiative and build on funding provided by the American Cancer Society awarded in July 2013 to implement a five-year, multi-site project to test interventions designed to reduce colon cancer screening disparities in vulnerable populations.
"We are thrilled to partner with UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center and assist them with their efforts to serve these populations," stated Anne Carlson, executive director for the Colon Cancer Coalition. "We look forward to the seeing the strides they can make in reducing some barriers to colon cancer screening."
Get Your Rear in Gear - Raleigh is planned by volunteers from Raleigh Endoscopy. The next 5K run/walk in that city is scheduled for Saturday, March 1, 2014. Registration is now open.
Get Your Rear in Gear® events are presented nationally by the Colon Cancer Coalition, a non-profit organization based in Minneapolis. The events are 100% volunteer-driven in communities throughout the United States. Funds raised Get Your Rear in Gear events across the country stay in local communities to further raise awareness of the disease and bring educational, treatment and prevention opportunities to those who are under-insured or uninsured. To date the Colon Cancer Coalition has distributed nearly $1.5 million from the Get Your Rear in Gear events back into local communities for colon cancer education, prevention, and screening. By making the words colon, colorectal and colonoscopy a part of the everyday language, we believe we can overcome the fear and decrease deaths from this largely preventable cancer.

"These donations mean so much to our program and the patients we serve," said Donald Rosenstein, MD, director of the UNC Comprehensive Cancer Support Program. "Private funds, like this generous support from the 'Corona Cares' program, allow us to reach more patients and their caregivers through cancer treatment, recovery and survivorship."
The nationally recognized cancer support program provides a wide range of services, such as free educational materials for newly diagnosed patients and sessions with a cancer nutritionist for patients who have trouble eating normally during treatment. The program also provides more than 1,500 head coverings each year for patients who are losing their hair as a result of cancer treatment, gas cards for patients who must drive long distances to get treatment, educational programs, counseling and support groups.
"We would also like to extend a big thanks to our wholesalers, retailers and customers for supporting UNC Lineberger and making this year another success for 'Corona Cares,'" said Bill Marren, Market Development Manager at Crown Imports.
The "Corona Cares" program was initiated in 2005 by Crown Imports and local wholesalers to benefit sick kids and their families at Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago. It has since spread to additional markets and benefits other charities. Crown Imports, Corona's exclusive U.S. importer provides all of the necessary program tools to wholesalers including, "Corona Cares" paper limes that are sold in retail accounts, customized pennant strings, and graphics for creating banners and posters. At the N.C. Cancer Hospital, funds will support programs that benefit patients and families receiving cancer treatment.
Crown Imports and all of the Corona wholesalers across the state committed 25 cents of every case of Corona Extra and Corona Light sold this past August and 100 percent of the donations from paper lime purchases to the N.C. Cancer Hospital, which treats patients from all 100 North Carolina counties.]]>

You can never quite anticipate what words are going to come out of Bill Clanton's mouth, but you better pay attention.
The humorous, direct turns of phrase carry life lessons that endear this bear of a man to his family, his health-care team and complete strangers.
"I like to think that these little shooting pains are the cancer cells leaving my body," said Clanton, wincing and squeezing his blue eyes tight when the sensation gets his attention without warning. "I have lived in this body for 82 years, so I know when things are changing.
"And I've never had anything that Vick's [Vapo-Rub] salve wouldn't cure until this," he said, pointing to his bulbous nose, red and blistered from radiation to treat the skin cancer inside his columella, the little column of tissue that divides his nostrils.
"But you see how pink and alive my skin looks," said a seemingly unfazed Clanton of Aurora, N.C., (pop. 520) in Beaufort County. "That means there is blood circulation, and that is good."
Clanton, retired from the U.S. Air Force and the construction industry but not from a life-long love of gardening and quail-hunting, received the radiation at UNC Hospitals over 25 days. He was referred to UNC by Dwight Grady, MD, an ear, nose and throat specialist in New Bern, after inflammation inside his nose refused to heal.
"It was a pretty sneaky tumor," said William W. Shockley, MD, division chief of facial plastic and reconstructive surgery and W. Paul Biggers Distinguished Professor, to whom Clanton was referred. "It had grown up under the tissues in the tip of his nose. Surgery would have left him with less than half his nose."
Dr. Shockley believed radiation was an equally viable option, and he called on colleague Bhisham S. Chera, MD, assistant professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology.
"Bill's treatment was multidisciplinary for which we are known," Dr. Chera said. "A lot of surgeons don't have the understanding that surgery is not always the best thing. Dr. Shockley gets that."
"That's the beauty of working at UNC," Dr. Shockley said. "We have specialists and super-specialists who can mobilize quickly. When I realized the surgery for which Bill was referred wasn't his best option, Dr. Chera was able to see him that same day. We did the CT scans later that day, too, trying to accomplish as much as we could, being aware that Bill lives at least three hours away. It was a long first day, but he and his son-in-law, Jeff Fleming, left with a plan."
The radiation treatment was complicated, but personalized. Clanton was fitted with a customized lead mask to protect his eyes and facial features as the radiation fields were changed during treatment to get at the pesky cells.
"The set-up and techniques were laborious, for him to sit through and for us to give," Dr. Chera said. "But he has shown tremendous fortitude, plus he's been so positive and jovial, characteristics we don't always see in a patient."
All of which comes as no surprise to Clanton's children, ages 52 to 59, four of whom traveled from Texas and three towns in Georgia to take turns being with him during his treatment.
His daughter, Carla, and her family, stayed on their 15-acre farm in Aurora, caring for their mother, Gladys. "The best way I can help take care of Dad, is to take good care of Mom," Carla said.
"He's always been about family, faith and self-sufficiency," said Chuck, 54, superintendent of city properties in Hapeville, Ga. "We never lacked for support, a kind word or advice. It's about morals and integrity. He has always been there for us regardless. We wouldn't be here if not for him."
While in Chapel Hill, the Clantons stayed at SECU Family House, the 40-bedroom hospital hospitality house that is the ideal home-away-from-home for patients who may have daily appointments at the hospital or need immediate medical attention.
"Being at Family House is like going to a homecoming," Chuck said. "You are able to be yourself and share yourself with others."
"It's like these big arms reach out and pull you in," said Terry, 59, chief building official for Rockdale County in Conyers, Ga.
"There's a warmth you can't get at a hotel. You feel it regardless of how many times you go out and come back in."
"There is a quiet understanding here," said Rebecca, 52, of Houston, Texas. "Everyone here is hurting in some way, but yet we are supportive of each other. Being here is my chance to dote on my Daddy, but I know if I had to leave for some emergency at home, the people we've met just this week would take care of him."
The Family House kitchen gave Rebecca and Bill the opportunity to nourish bodies, too.
Rebecca, winner of the Food Networks 2012 Cupcake Wars, made delectably decadent cupcakes for fellow house guests and staff — twice — to keep in practice for two upcoming cooking shows in the Lone Star State.
Bill turned out a few banana puddings and apple cobblers so an over-abundance of fresh fruit donated by local grocers wasn't wasted. But his signature dish — sausage gravy and biscuits — converted more than one non-breakfast eater.
"And you know you have to use a wooden spoon to make the gravy," Bill said. "It's science. You will burn your fingers if you use a metal one."
It's talk that makes a difference for Bill. Always has, but especially during his care at UNC Hospitals.
"My doctors talk to each other," Bill said, tears welling. "I have an invalid wife and a dead daughter because doctors in another state and in another time did not. I don't know how to say it any stronger."
(Bill and Gladys, his wife of 60 years, live with daughter, Carla, and husband, Jeff, a retired Master Gunnery Sergeant, USMC, who are primary caregivers. The Clantons' oldest daughter, Debbie Clanton McLaurin, died in 2009 at age 53. An infant son, Michael Paul, died at two days old in 1962. Sons Barry, 59, and Jim, 55, live in Duluth, Ga., and Cincinnati, Ohio, respectively.)
The Clantons' devotion to family does not go unnoticed.
"I typically have a long talk with the patient about what to expect," Dr. Shockley said. "It's a very detailed discussion because it's important to understand the commitment it is going to take.
"For Bill and his children, they have a lot on their plates and have been thrown a lot of curve balls in life already. But they were unwaveringly united in their commitment to being there for Bill. When you see that, you know that things are going to go the way you want them to go, and you have the best shot at taking care of the patient."
Bill completed treatment Aug. 27 and returned to Aurora to rest and heal, activities he believes are best achieved sitting on the 64-foot-long front porch where two swings and six rocking chairs only begin to accommodate his 14 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.
"The sweet potatoes and peanuts aren't quite ready to harvest, but the tomatoes and cucumbers are done," Bill said, showing pictures of the bounty from the family garden he canned on weekends at home during treatment.
"For now, it's looking at all the zinnias and the thousands of butterflies we've had this season. If that's not enough entertainment, a black bear comes thought the yard now and then."

The Sysadmin's Daily Grind: HTPDate
Despite the cyclical disruptions so typical of LUG meetings, our intrepid columnist, Charly, reveals how he set the system time in spite of a blocked NTP port.
I am writing this article from the LUG Camp at Wuppertal Germany, and the time is… – er, I have no idea. A kind person from the LUG Flensburg hands me a bottle of Flensburg beer, and I say "Thanks"… Enough has already been said about NTP (Network Time Protocol) based time synchronization, and in fact, I confess to having written about NTP in the past. But today, I will discuss how to time sync without NTP. Up curtain and welcome to HTPDate [1] Of course, NTP is the tool of choice if you need to sync the system clock across a network. But there are times when network synchronization is not possible. For example, if the machine you need to sync is hiding behind a totally hardened firewall maintained by a totally hardened admin who says things like "NTP? Never heard of it, so it must be something bad!"

Emerging Stocks, Bonds Fall on Europe Crisis; China Shares Sink
Emerging-market stocks and bonds fell, extending monthly declines, on concern Chinese interest- rate increases and Europe's debt crisis will slow global growth.
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index dropped 0.6 percent to 1,073.80 at 9:01 a.m. in New York, heading for the biggest monthly retreat since May. JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s EMBI+ Index of emerging-market government debt in dollars sank 0.6 percent, set for the steepest monthly drop in two years.
The MSCI emerging-stock index has lost 2.9 percent in November and the JPMorgan bond gauge has slid 3.5 percent as investors speculated China's efforts to curb the highest inflation rate in two years and Europe's spending cuts will erode demand for emerging-market exports. The Shanghai Composite Index sank 1.6 percent today after a Chinese Academy of Social Sciences economist said the government needs to raise borrowing costs by 2 percentage points.
"The possibility of China raising interest rates in the short term seems much more possible, and that's triggering the selling pressure," said Castor Pang, Hong Kong-based research director at Cinda International Holdings Ltd. "Concerns about the European debt crisis are continuing to deteriorate confidence in the market."
The Shanghai Composite gauge posted its first monthly drop since June after Zhong Jiyin, an economist with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, wrote in a commentary in the China Daily today that recent increases in banks' reserve requirements won't be enough to reverse excessive liquidity in the system.
Euro Weakens
China's central bank raised benchmark lending and deposit rates in October and policy makers ordered banks to set aside larger reserves this month after consumer prices rose 4.4 percent in October.
China Construction Bank Corp. declined 1.7 percent in Shanghai trading today, while Industrial & Commercial Bank of China Ltd. lost 2.1 percent.
The euro weakened for a third day on concern Portugal and Spain may suffer the fate of Ireland, which had to ask for an 85 billion-euro ($111 billion) rescue package to help bail out its banks.
Hungary's bonds tumbled for a seventh day, lifting five-year yields to the highest since September 2009, as a row between the central bank and the government over interest rates undermined investor confidence.
The central bank increased the benchmark interest rate yesterday after holding it at a record low for six months and said further monetary tightening may be needed to contain inflation. The rate increase was "unjustified," the Economy Ministry said in a statement.
Default Swaps
The yield on government bonds in forint due February 2015 jumped 20 basis points to 8.38 percent. The cost of insuring against non-payment of sovereign debt climbed to the highest since June, based on credit-default prices from CMA.
The extra yield investors demand to own emerging-market government bonds over U.S. Treasuries widened 12 basis points to 2.78 percentage points today, the highest level in two months, according to JPMorgan's EMBI+ Index.
South Korea's won fell 0.6 percent to 1,159.25 per dollar, leading declines in emerging-market currencies and completing its biggest monthly loss since May. The currency reached 1,172.50 on Nov. 24, the weakest level since Sept. 9, after North Korea's artillery attack the day before on the South's Yeonpyeong island.
'Paring Back Risk'
Four people died in the shelling and South Korean President Lee Myung Bak said yesterday that Kim Jong Il's regime will "be made to pay for any further provocation."
"Everyone's still paring back risk as there's a lot of uncertainty in the world right now," said Stuart Oakley, the Singapore-based head of emerging-markets foreign exchange for Asia at Royal Bank of Scotland Plc. "We are still seeing better buying of dollars."
The Bombay Stock Exchange Sensitive Index rose 0.6 percent today and shares of DLF Ltd., India's biggest developer, surged 7.1 percent. India's gross domestic product increased 8.9 percent in the three months through September from a year earlier, the Central Statistical Organisation said in a statement in New Delhi today. That was more than the 8.2 percent median estimate of 30 economists in a Bloomberg News survey.
Poland's zloty strengthened 1.2 percent against the euro and the nation's benchmark WIG20 Index of shares climbed 0.6 percent. Gross domestic product expanded at an annual rate of 4.2 percent in the third quarter, the Warsaw-based Central Statistical Office reported, the fastest pace in two years. The figure exceeded the 3.6 percent median estimate of 14 economists in a Bloomberg survey.

Fill Air Leaks Between The Garage and House
Before installing organizers, check for gaps in the wall your garage shares with your house and in the ceiling, if there's a room above the garage. These are the spots where hot or cold air (and the moisture it carries) will seep inside. Seal small gaps with caulk, larger ones with expandable spray foam.

About the workshops and seminar
Industry increasingly relies upon safety systems to maintain and protect operating assets.
Systems comprised of electrical or electronic elements have been widely used to perform safety functions in most application sectors
The oil and gas industry, nuclear plants, and transport sector, to name but a few, all rely heavily on functional safety.
The functional safety compliance requirements of IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 and other standards covering safety-related systems are increasingly being specified in procurement specifications in a wide range of sectors and increasingly diverse applications.
The standards are also being used not just for functional safety but also for asset protection.
Allied to the need to have adequate levels of functional safety to meet safety / environment risks is the need to ensure that safety-related systems are properly protected against cyber-attacks.
Welcome note from Chairman
Ron Bell, Director, Engineering Safety Consultants Ltd
"The IET SIL Workshop and Seminar provide coverage of a number of important topic issues with the intention of disseminating what is considered current good practice and highlighting what is emerging and will be considered as good practice in the future from both a functional safety and cyber security viewpoints.
It will be an ideal opportunity for learning what is new and the challenges ahead and importantly will allow discussion on a number of issues that many of us are facing."
The programme of this year's seminar will focus on practical solutions at achieving Safety Integrity Levels (SIL).
Experts in the field will look into emerging challenges in a diverse range of sectors and topics:
- Competence criteria for safety related systems - The IET Code of Practice for Competence of Safety-Related Systems Practitioners
- What's new in the revised process safety international standard IEC61511
- Functional safety concepts applied to asset protection in oil and gas and process industries
- Emerging issues and challenges in safety systems for nuclear new build
- Case study: Hydro-power flood gate control. Design parameters and how they were developed
Workshops day
Make the most of this event and do not forget to attend our special workshops day on 9 December 2015.
The morning workshop, run by PA Consulting Group, will look at how to use the new CPNI Security for Industrial Control Systems (SICS) Framework to reduce security risks.
The afternoon workshop led by Engineering Safety Consultants will address the need for end-users to fully understand the implications of the parameters that underpin proof testing and proof test procedures.

Sep 21, 2014Sure, it's a mess. It glitched on me a few times, the design is woefully old, and the gameplay teeters towards boring. But in spite of all those issues, Boo Bunny Plague won me over. It's a good little distraction at $5.99. If it hits $0.99 during a sale? Yeah, get it.
Sep 18, 2014I hate to say it but if the development team had put as much effort into refining Boo Bunny Plague's gameplay as they did the soundtrack, this could have been a very enjoyable game. Poor controls, bland level design, and last-gen graphics just make the experience so disappointing.

How come kids don't like food that touches? We have no idea but we solved the problem anyway.
A baby? No…a Big Kid! Help your tot transition with the OXO Tot Plate for Big Kids. The Plate looks just like a grown-up plate, but has a weighted, non-slip bottom to prevent slipping and sliding. The generous edge makes the Plate easy for big kids to hold while serving themselves or helping with clean-up. Perfectly sized for larger portions, the Plate is curved to help guide food onto forks and spoons. Used together, the Plate, Bowl, Cups and Cutlery for Big Kids will help teach them to eat like grown-ups do. For best results, consult Miss Manners!
PhillUp is a simple, beautiful and highly functional kid cup that hangs up on your fridge. Now kids and friends can help themselves.
The OXO Tot Sippy Cup collection offers several spillproof solutions for teaching baby how to drink like a big kid. Available with handles, the 7-ounce Sippy Cup is easy for little hands to hold when baby is transitioning from a bottle. The Sippy Cup with Handles has soft, non-slip Handles that are angled so baby doesn't have to turn his wrists too far; the Handles are removable for when baby's grasp develops. All Sippy Cups have non-slip grips, a dimple in the lid that makes room for little noses, and translucent walls to show just how much is left. Each has a leakproof valve which releases pressure for comfortable sipping and is easily removable for cleaning. All OXO Tot Sippy, Straw and Training Cup lids are interchangeable.
The oxo Tot Sippy Cup Set grows with your child from age 6 months and up. The 7 ounce Sippy Cup with Handles is an ideal first Cup for babies transitioning from bottles. Its leak proof valve prevents spills and releases pressure for comfortable sipping.
Whether you're going across the street or across the country, be ready for baby's next meal. The soft, silicone Feeding Spoon is gentle on baby's gums and mouth. The shallow Spoon prevents feeding baby too much food at once, while the contoured handle is comfortable to hold and angled for easy feeding. The Spoon fits neatly into the convenient Case that is compact enough to tuck into diaper bags, stroller caddies or handbags. Plus, the lid stays attached so it won't disappear during your travels!
Modware toddler utensils are perfect for little hands and mouths that aren't quite ready to transition to adult silverware.
Fred's Chillbots
Tote treats for tots in the OXO Tot Large Flip-Top Snack Cup. Its non-slip grips make it easy for little hands to hold and the compact shape is perfect for tucking into a diaper bag or stroller cup holder for a full day of snacks on the go. The 7oz capacity is great for loading up snacks to share or preparing for long road trips. A generous opening provides easy access to the goodies stored inside, and the lid stays attached so it won't roll into the sandbox and disappear.
So your toddler wants to eat like a big kid but doesn't quite understand the concept of pokey tines that can make holes in things other than food. That's no problem with the flatware utensils.
This set of 4 first stage silicone spoons is designed for babies being introduced to solids. The handle is designed for adult hands easily to be able to feed baby. Made of ultra supple silicone to be kind to baby's gums. Dishwasher safe.

Christina Clark, while beautiful, is a strange choice for a video featuring over-enhanced breasts. Her B-cuppers and trim bod are pleasant to gaze at, but seem misplaced here. She and Rick O'Shea get down to it after she, too, does a strip and plays with some dildos. The scenes are too long, and with only two girls in the entire vid, the consumer is getting the short end of the stick.

ORLANDO, Fla. (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Millions of fans have made the popular HBO hit series "Game of Thrones" a must see. Some of the show's stars are fictional dire wolves. As a result, real-life wolfdog breeders have never been busier, trying to keep up with this newfound demand. But fantasy can be a lot easier to handle than reality. And now, wolfdogs are being abandoned and even regular pet shelters can't handle them.
ORLANDO, Fla. (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Service dogs can be trained to do a lot of things; sniff out a stroke before it happens, guide the blind, and even provide emotional support. But for as smart as they are, they can only communicate through silent actions and obscure barks. Here's the story of one woman who is giving dogs a voice which could revolutionize how lassie go gets help.
ORLANDO, Fla. (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- More than $15 billion were spent on veterinary care in 2015, almost double the amount from 2005, according to a study by market research. Most owners will do anything and pay anything to keep them alive. But when they have to make a decision whether to euthanize, it usually boils down to old age and difficulty walking. But one veterinarian says we put people through physical rehab, why not our pets? Now, she's showing us how she's rehabilitating dogs that other vets have given up on.

I'm on cryselle and have been for 6 to 7 months havent missed a pill and i am a sunday starter my pill intake is 9pm. I had unprotected sex on Sunday and took plan b with in 30 minutes . I had protected sex this Friday but the condom ripped and I'm worried I could become pregnant and I don't have the resources for plan b. I'm on my second week of pills with to remaining for this week. Could I become pregnant and do I need to take plan b?

Stop with the plan B. You are protected by the most effective birth control there is, you don't need a condom. l don't know why you girls use other birth control and plan b when you're taking the pill. Its 99% effective when taken correctly. The only time you would need a condom is if you were put on an antibiotic, or you've missed the pill for 2 or more days. Plan B will mess up you're cycle on its own and you mixed it with other hormonal birth control. Keep taking your pill and it will straighten out. What do you think you're taking birth control pills for?
The ONLY reason for condoms when you are taking the Pill is for STD protection unless you just started the pill in the past week and are using it as back up until your Pill kicks in or you missed pills and need back up or if you are on antibiotics. Other than that, you dont need condoms, your oral contraceptive covers you and protects you from pregnancy all on its own. It is much more effective and powerful than Plan b!! This is one reason I dont think Plan b ought to be OTC. Girls do not read the instructions and have no idea how to use it properly! At least if you had to ask the pharmacist for it, you might get some instructions if the pharmacist was doing his job correctly. When you are on regular birth control pills and you take them correctly, you DO NOT OVULATE and if you dont ovulate, you cannot get pregnant no matter how many millions of sperm that you are exposed to!
I am supposed to have my period today and I have slight cramps and back pain like my period is here but no bleeding . Did taking the plan b twice make my period late ? Or am I pregnant
I need help I haven't had my period and I was supposed to have it today 09/9/13
I am supposed to have my period today and I have some pains that feel like it could be my period but I am not bleeding I did take 2 plan b pills could this be why I haven't got my period

Colonels fall against Stetson
Published: Sunday, December 22, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, December 22, 2013 at 2:39 a.m.
DeLAND, Fla. — The Nicholls State University women's basketball team held a four-point lead with just six minutes remaining against Stetson in the Hatters Classic final, but the Colonels could only muster two field goals the rest of the way as Stetson picked up a 74-65 victory on Saturday afternoon.
Nicholls falls to 5-5 on the year while Stetson improves to 8-4. The Hatters improve to 2-0 all-time against the Colonels.
The Colonels shook off their road shooting struggles in Friday's win over Bethune-Cookman, but a 34 percent day from the field against Stetson proved to be too much to overcome. Nicholls shot just a shade under 40 percent in the first half to lead 31-27 at the break; however, connected on only 12 of 41 from the field in the final 20 minutes.
Jenny Nash, who was named to the all-tournament team, led Nicholls with 15 points on 5 of 11 3-pointers. As a team, Nicholls drained 11 shots from behind the arc, with Emani White and Taylor Morrison adding three each. Morrison had a career-high scoring effort off the bench with 11 points, as did Shay Arnick who tacked on 12. White finished with 13 points – all coming in the second half.

Washington, May 22 (EFE).- The U.S. government will resume the transfer of prisoners suspected of committing terrorist acts from the base at Guantanamo, Cuba, as a step leading toward closing the prison, government officials told The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday.
U.S. President Barack Obama, who is scheduled to give a speech on counterterrorism efforts on Thursday, will reaffirm in that address his commitment to close the prison, one of his campaign promises that has remained unfulfilled since 2008.
The daily said that Obama will not provide any details about how the transfer of prisoners might be accelerated, but the officials said that the president in the coming weeks will lift the prevailing prohibition on sending the detainees to Yemen.
The Guantanamo prison was opened in January 2002 by then-President George W. Bush within the context of Washington's "global war on terror" after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on New York and Washington and it came to house almost 800 suspected terrorists.
"I continue to believe that we've got to close Guantanamo," Obama said at an April 30 news conference. "I think it is critical for us to understand that Guantanamo is not necessary to keep America safe. It is expensive. It is inefficient. It hurts us in terms of our international standing. It lessens cooperation with our allies on counter-terrorism efforts. It is a recruitment tool for extremists. It needs to be closed."
A total of 86 of the 166 prisoners currently housed in the prison have gotten the green light to be released, but the opposition of Congress, the lack of bilateral accords governing their transfer and a moratorium on the repatriation of Yemeni prisoners to their country have blocked the process.
The president had been scheduled to give the speech at the beginning of May, but he postponed it amid concerns over the hunger strike launched by about 100 of the Guantanamo prisoners and the controversy sparked by the Justice Department subpoena of telephone records of Associated Press journalists to try and find out who was responsible for a national security leak.
The 100 or so prisoners began their hunger strike three months ago to protest their treatment at Guantanamo, to vent their frustration over their indefinite detention and especially to express their outrage over the alleged mishandling by prison personnel of the Koran, the sacred text of Muslims.

Four people have been charged with manslaughter over the
death of Ashburton man Arran Gairns.
Three men and a woman were charged today, Detective Senior
