Senior Leadership Team
Sally Thorogood, Head of School
I was born in England, near London, and studied, lived and worked in several different parts of the country before moving to Munich in 1997. I have been an educator for more than two decades and have taught children from kindergarten through fifth grade, initially in the English state school system and from 1998-2012 in Munich International School (MIS). My family moved to Munich as a result of my husband's two year secondment with BMW but stayed far longer, having become positively immersed in the international school environment, International Baccalaureate curriculum, Bavarian countryside, and German language and culture. Soon after joining the MIS community as a parent, I was asked to sign up for substitute teaching and the following year I accepted the position of Grade 2 homeroom teacher. Subsequently I held the positions of PYP coordinator and Junior School Assistant Principal.
During my years in Munich I completed the Certificate of International School Leadership and trained as a School Visitor for the International Baccalaureate Organisation, leading school authorization and evaluation visits in a variety of international schools from 2006 onwards. Many of these visits involved working closely with Middle School and High School administrators and my experience as a parent of children studying the MYP and IB Diploma also broadened my knowledge base of the IB as a whole. In 2008 I began studying part-time for my Masters in Education through Bath University in England and earned my M.Ed. in July 2014.
By 2012, our children, James and Jenni, had graduated from different universities in England and based themselves in Munich and London respectively. So my husband (Mark) and I decided we were ready for a new adventure and were delighted to have the opportunity to become positively immersed in the GAIS school community and life in California.
When I am not working I enjoy singing, reading, playing tennis, skiing and walking in the mountains or by the ocean.
Heike Schmalstieg, Preschool Principal
I received my degree in Early Childhood Education in Germany more than 20 years ago and have continued my studies here in the US. I also received a certificate in teaching a second language from the University of California at Berkeley. I have gained valuable experience in German, as well as American preschools and of course here at GAIS.
I started teaching at GAIS in 1994. Over the years, I have seen the preschool grow from 24 children to more than 100 and the whole school from less than 100 to more than 300 students. During my stay at GAIS, I have taken two extended leaves to stay home with my own children, until they reached preschool age. I have always been excited to return to GAIS and my children have had the privilege to attend GAIS as well. The school has changed and evolved over the years, yet it has always kept its special appeal. The preschool has a truly unique concept, combining the need of the child to explore freely, challenging the child on all levels and providing a great balance between structured activities and free exploration.
The IB Primary Years Program is inquiry based and fosters the child's natural curiosity. It is a pleasure to run a program that provides as many opportunities, while a child can still be a child. The children in our program have the opportunity to become independent thinkers, solve their own problems and conflicts, be creative, become knowledgeable about the world around them and so much more; all while learning a second language.
However, it was not only the philosophy of the program that appealed to me, but also the teaching staff. The preschool has an amazing staff of very dedicated and enthusiastic teachers that love what they do.
Alex Norwood,
Dean of Student Life
I was born and raised in Canada where I received two degrees from Queen's University and the University of Toronto. Since then, I have had six years of teaching experience in four different countries (Japan, Canada, Mexico, and England) and now USA, covering a breadth of subjects ranging from ESL and Science to Mathematics.
As an educator my goal is to apply my academic expertise and my learning experiences to dedicated global citizens. I am excited that my international experience has brought me to the Bay Area to work within the framework of the IB curriculum. I am an advocate for life long learning through academic and personal experiences. I look forward to educating young dedicated global citizens for another year at GAIS.
Christina Keller
PYP Coordinator and English teacher
Originally from Indiana, I received my Bachelor of Arts from the University of Indianapolis, Master of Arts from Ball State University, and Master of Education from the University of Texas. I have over 25 years teaching experience as a classroom teacher in both primary and secondary grades. My secondary teaching included science, drama, English, and Spanish. In 2004, I moved to Germany and began teaching Grade 5 at the International School of Düsseldorf, where I was introduced to the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum and later served as PYP Coordinator.
I have three grown sons who live in Texas and New York State. When not working, I enjoy traveling, photography, reading, and all things outdoors including biking, hiking, camping, and scuba diving.
I believe in the mission of the IB and the learning opportunities for students in the Primary Years Programme. I am excited to have the opportunity to be part of the GAIS community and a team of internationally minded educators and parents.

Admissions and Community Relations Director
Bio and picture coming soon…
Tim Farris,
I was born and raised right here in the Bay Area and grew up in San Mateo, so I'm a "native Californian." I'm the youngest of 7 kids, all of whom live in California. My wife is from Germany and we have a 10 year old son who speaks German.
I've worked in the Tech field for numerous companies until the year 2000, when the economy took a down turn. After that I started my own business as a painting contractor (Method Painting), which was going well until the most recent recession in 2008. At that time our son had been attending pre-school at GAIS for about 6 months, when I took the position of Hausmeister (custodian) here at GAIS.
Sad to say I never attended college, but I did take courses in electro-mechanical drafting, architecture, multimedia communications & presentation, graphic design, and photography. My hobbies are playing the bass guitar and photography, as well as doing things with my family. I love riding mountain bikes, camping, kayaking, and hiking.
I enjoy working here at GAIS. I love the kids, they are our future and watching them grow is one of the pleasures I get out of working here.
Sybille Smith,
Due to my father's work, I spent my childhood moving back and forth between a town near Stuttgart, Germany, and various places in the US. I received a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics from Florida Atlantic University before attending the Berufsakademie back in Stuttgart. From there, I graduated as Diplomingenieur der Technischen Informatik in 1989.
I worked in the IT field in Stuttgart until 1998, when my husband (US born and living in Stuttgart at the time) and I decided to relocate back to Silicon Valley during the technology boom. I continued to work in IT until deciding to stay at home with my children in 2005.
My two daughters both currently attend GAIS. Sofia started Vorschule in 2007, Eva followed one year later in Preschool. I had been a volunteer in GAIS' library every year since 2007 and had always enjoyed it very much. When asked if I wanted to step in as a part time librarian, the decision was an easy one!
Uli Francis,
I grew up in a small town near Heidelberg, Germany. After the Abitur, I was very fortunate to be able to work for a while and then travel the world for 1 year before going back to school, becoming a Physical Therapist. I worked as a Physical Therapist first in Berlin (1989/1990), and later back in Heidelberg. I started my own practice in 1994.
After meeting my husband during a vacation in California, he convinced me to start a new life in this beautiful state in 1998.
We have 2 children, who are now 13 and 10 years old. Being a "stay at home mom" opened up another opportunity for me, following my passion for books.
I started volunteering at the GAIS Library when my daughter went to the GAIS preschool. I later volunteered at public school Libraries and chaired several Book Fair events. I started working part time at the GAIS Library in 2009 and I can truly say, "I love going to work".
I love seeing children getting excited about books and teaching them to find their way around in the Library.

Ready, Set, Grill
Sure, firing up the barbecue or gas grill provides you with a sociable, relaxing time in the backyard, which is an instant stress buster. But it's particularly beneficial for people with diabetes because grilling happens to be a healthy cooking technique. Grilled foods typically don't require high-fat sauces or accompaniments. And much of the fat drips away and never makes it to your plate. Here are a few ways to make your outdoor cooking even more healthful.
Bypass burgers and fill the grill with seafood and lean cuts of meat. You don't have to gorge on fatty burgers and bratwursts just because you're cooking outside. Healthier choices include skinless chicken breasts, beef tenderloin or sirloin, and fish.
Disrobe your chicken. Or you can leave the skin on while it's cooking to seal in moisture, and pull it off afterward. It will save you a load of saturated fat—which hampers insulin sensitivity and increases the risk of heart disease—and calories.
Bathe meats in a vinegar-based marinade. A study conducted at Arizona State University found that eating 4 tablespoons of cider vinegar before eating a high glycemic-index meal (one that includes foods that tend to raise blood sugar quickly) lowered the effect of the meal on participants' blood sugar by about 55 percent. Low-fat Italian vinaigrette salad dressing with extra vinegar added will even do the trick. You also can experiment with your own marinades using vinegar, olive oil, wine, lemon juice, lime juice, garlic, and herbs.
Splurge on grilling lessons. Grilling may seem simple, and it is—if you know how to do it properly. You'd be surprised at how valuable even a few simple grilling secrets can be. Do you know how often to flip a piece of meat and when to do it? How to tell when the food is done without cutting into it? The more you know, the more fun you'll have. For a special event such as a milestone birthday or anniversary, consider hiring a chef to come to your backyard. He can whip up a meal for your party and work in a lesson. Ask him to focus on healthy foods that you don't know how to grill—say, salmon fillets, scallops, or pork loin. The more healthy dishes you're excited to cook at home, the fewer calories (and dollars) you'll waste at restaurants.
Skewer some squash, portabello mushrooms, eggplant, and zucchini. Many of your favorite fruits and vegetables will pick up an alluring new taste when grilled. Sliced squash, eggplant, bell pepper, portabello mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, pineapple, peaches, and apricots all fare well on a grill. Coat veggies with a little olive oil before adding to the grill. For small or thin slices that might fall through the bars of your grill grate, use skewers or special grilling baskets, which you can buy in home improvement and cooking stores.
Grill delicate foods in packets. Making dinner on the grill doesn't automatically mean charbroiled meat and corn on the cob. Packet cooking lets you cook all sorts of foods on the grill. Just center the ingredients on a large sheet of aluminum foil, add a little olive oil or broth, then fold up the sides, leaving some room for steam to circulate inside. Set the packets on the grill. This strategy works particularly well for delicate or quick-cooking foods, such as fish and boneless chicken breast. Even lean meats stay tender. Put out a variety of vegetables (bell peppers, onion, snap peas, corn, etc.) and seasonings and let each member of the family design his or her own packet.
Thanks! You're on our list.
And about to get a whole lot healthier.

"Hot" by Kim Shuck, June Artist-in-Residence
We only had a very few folk in today, so we both got a good deal of work done and talked about bad Native themed movies. Well, we talked about different kinds of movies, but we talked most about what I call 'Bad Indian Movies'. These would be films with glaring cultural errors, stereotypes or other faux pas. It was a hoot.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I was arrested on May 10, 2013 for DUI. My blood alcohol level was 0.0000 and they requested a urine sample. Which I agreed without any doubt. They are under the impression that it is due to drugs. I do not do illegal drugs, I only take prescription drugs. These prescriptions are prescirbed to me, and where taken roughly around 2 am. I was arrested after 1:30pm. I have a court date May 28th and would like to know what the results were. I am not sure a blood test was performed. They only pricked my finger.
Urine samples are sent from the arresting law enforcement agency to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement for testing. The process typically takes between 6-8 weeks. In my experience, I have never seen urine results come back before the person's arraignment date.
It is important for you to understand that some prescription drugs are considered controlled substances. Your prescription and medical history is certainly relevant to show your tolerance and whether you were "impaired." But the State can still charge you with DUI when you are impaired by a controlled substance, prescribed or not. When you're over 21, it's not illegal to possess alcohol. But you still can't drive while impaired by it.
You would be well served to hire an experienced local DUI attorney who knows how to exploit the issues unique to urine cases. Best of luck!
I agree with Mr. Metcalf 100%. You should never set foot in a courtroom with out a lawyer representing you. Just because you were taking prescribed meds, doesn't mean that the state wont try to go forward on the DUI. Hire a lawyer before your court hearing on the 28th.
For more information or to set up a free initial consultation contact the Mangrum Law Firm at 407-349-7474. This answer does not, nor is it intended to, create an attorney-client relationship. It is offered for informational purposes only. Please consult with a licensed attorney before making any legal decisions.
Get a criminal defense lawyer. The lawyer will invoke the rules of discovery which will require the State to provide you with all of the evidence. Obviously the State will need the results of any blood or urine test and that means your lawyer will be entitled to review it. If they fail to comply with the rules of discovery then they risk having the evidence excluded. Of course, if they do not have any test results then your lawyer will be able to make that a big issue in your favor. Please feel free to contact me for a free consultation.
This is not to be considered legal advice nor does an attorney-client relationship exist.
You have received sound legal advice from these lawyers. The Discovery process is critical to your defense and is one that will take weeks to complete. While you are entitled to all of the evidence against you, the State is not obligated to give it to you until 1) it is demanded formally by filing the appropriate pleadings, & 2) they have the evidence or should have access to the evidence you seek. As was previously noted, urine results take weeks to process and analyze due to the backlog of lab work that FDLE must perform throughout the State. Hiring an experienced DUI lawyer is imperative and essential to your defense.
Posting an answer to your question does not create an attorney / client relationship such that you can or should rely on the information provided herein to take action. Instead, it is intended to simply provide you with information. I am not your lawyer and cannot provide you with legal advice unless and until I am hired to do so.
Several important issues. First I completely agree with Mr. Metcalf, your own prescription medication can be the basis for a DUI. I have represented many many clients who were arrested after a DUI officer suspected impairment by prescription medication. On that subject, I would not provide any other specific details on avvo as there is no privilege. Call a local attorney and discuss your specific situation.
Second, if you have a case pending in north or south county traffic court my advice is to get a private attorney on board quickly. Those of us who handle DUI cases and practice in Pinellas know the advantages of keeping a case in these courthouses. If you have a public defender you get transferred out of traffic court.
Third, if someone pricked your finger the officer might have requested this to check your blood sugar, diabetics often have a sweet smell on their breath that is mistaken for alcohol, this is not how a blood draw is performed.
If you have any specific questions feel free to contact me but most importantly consult with a DUI lawyer quickly. If there is an administrative suspension pending or any reason (it doesn't sound like it from the information provided) you only have 10 days to deal with this issue.
Best of luck.

Trying to reset my tablet to factory settings while not being able to use the tablet.
So essentially the deal is that my Asus Nexus 7 tablet won't boot up past the "X" load screen.
It was working fine, but when I went to update it, something went wrong, and now it's stuck here. I can only get to the fastboot mode.
I'm afraid that returning it is not an option here. Reformatting it to factory settings is my goal.
From what I understand after a couple of days of working on it is that I need to "Debug my USB" .... whatever that really means... and am being told to by the Android Toolkit that basically USB debugging is the only way to do virtually ANYTHING with my tablet. Well, the real problem is that I can't access my tablet to debug the USB and I can't find out how to do it from my laptop.
This is my first time ever having to work on an Android so I could be on the completely wrong or missing a step.
If anyone has any answers or can point me in the right direction, or even a link to a video or webpage to set this right I would be really grateful.
So please people on this forum, help a bro out.

Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women, the risk of breast cancer increases with age, it is most common after the age of 50. Each breast has 15- 20 sections (lobes), each of which has many smaller sections (lobules). The lobes and lobules are connected by thin tubes (ducts). The most frequent type of breast cancer is that starting in the ducts (ductal cancer), other types include cancer beginning in the lobes or lobules (lobular carcinoma), less common is Inflammatory breast cancer which causes the breast to be red, and swollen. The incidence of breast cancer has been increasing in Western countries, the rate of increase has been faster in younger women, however, the cause of most breast cancers remains unknown. World-wide about 794,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year.

Effects of Combined Aerobic and Stretching Exercises on the Cardiopulmonary Parameters of Premenopausal and Postmenopausal Breast Cancer Survivors.
Nig Q J Hosp Med. 2015 Jul-Sep; 25(3):177-83 [PubMed] Related Publications
OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the effects of combined aerobic and stretching exercises on cardiopulmonary functions of premenopausal and postmenopausal Breast cancer (BC) survivors.
METHODS: Fifty-four eligible BC survivors participated in the study but four-eight completed it. They were randomly' assigned to groups A and B and each group had two subgroups; subgroup 1 (premenopausal) and subgroup 2 (postmenopausal). Group A underwent combined aerobic exercise using treadmill and stretching exercises for 12 weeks while Group B was the control group.
RESULTS: Significant changes were observed in the cardiovascular parameters of participants in Groups A,,,,, (Resting systolic blood pressure (A1:p = 0.01*; A2: p = 0.01*), Resting diastolic blood pressure (A1: p = 0.01*; A2: p = 0.004*), Resting rate pressure product (A1: p 0.001*; A2: p = 0.02*). Significant changes were also observed in the pulmonary parameters of participants of Groups A(1&2) (Arterioxyhaemoglobin saturation (A,:p = 0.001*; A2:p = 0.02*), Forced vital capacity (A1:p = 0.13; A2: p = 0.05*), maximal oxygen uptake (A1:p = 0.03*; A2: p = 0.15).
CONCLUSION: Combined aerobic and stretching exercises brought about significant therapeutic effects on selected cardiopulmonary parameters in female BC survivors.
The Prevalence and Related Factors of Complementary and Alternative Medicine Used in Thai Breast Cancer Patients.
J Med Assoc Thai. 2015; 98 Suppl 10:S1-7 [PubMed] Related Publications
MATERIAL AND METHOD: We interviewed 220 Thai breast cancer patients who visited the HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Medical Center and the Maha Vajiralongkorn Cancer Center during the period from October 2008 to September 2010 and collected data about their socio-economic status, history of cancer treatments and complications, the cancer staging, their Quality of life (QoL) and types and reasons of CAM used.
RESULTS: The prevalence of CAM usage in Thai breast cancer patients was 560 in every 1,000 patients. Factors which influenced CAM usage were; the patients' educational level, amount of income per month, the duration of the individuals' breast cancer diagnoses, menopausal status, the type of axillary surgery used in the course of their treatment, the incidences of systemic recurrence and physical components as measured by the SF-36.
CONCLUSION: The results have shown that most Thai breast cancer patients used CAM for the treatment of their breast cancer and had used CAM after being diagnosed with breast cancer Healthcare providers should recognize and provide pros and cons to patients and their family if CAM were used during breast cancer treatment.
The role of p95HER2 in trastuzumab resistance in breast cancer.
J BUON. 2016 Mar-Apr; 21(2):382-9 [PubMed] Related Publications
METHODS: p95HER2 (truncated HER2) and HER2 were determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis. HER2 protein expression and HER2 gene amplification were also determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH). Archival material from 80 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) breast cancer tumor tissues was used for the study. None of the cases had metastases at the initial diagnosis. HER2-positive cases were treated with trastuzumab with/without chemotherapy.
RESULTS: Of 80 breast cancer cases 39 (48.7%) were HER2-positive and had trastuzumab treatment. Of these 39 cases 11 (28.2%) were trastuzumab-resistant and 28 (71.8%) were not, 17 (43.6%) were recurrent cases and 22 (56.4%) were not. Three patients died during follow-up. p95HER2 mean ratio was 11.01±19.73 in 11 cases which were trastuzumab-resistant, while p95HER2 mean ratio was 1.99±1.37 in 28 cases without trastuzumab resistance. If p95HER2 ratio was low, there was no trastuzumab resistance. However, when p95HER2 ratio was high, there was trastuzumab resistance (p=0.210, Mann-Whitney U test).
CONCLUSION: p95HER2 was correlated with trastuzumab resistance, but it was not an independent factor of trastuzumab resistance. We claim that p95HER2 is sensitive but not specific for the prediction of trastuzumab resistance.
Efficacy and safety of eribulin monotherapy in patients with heavily pretreated metastatic breast cancer.
J BUON. 2016 Mar-Apr; 21(2):375-81 [PubMed] Related Publications
METHODS: In this single-center trial, a total of 66 MBC patients who received eribulin monotherapy in Hacettepe University Cancer Institute between 2013 and 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was carried out for progression free survival (PFS) and for overall survival (OS). Two-sided p values <0.05 were considered as statistically significant.
RESULTS: Sixty-six patients who received at least one cycle of eribulin were registered. Most patients were heavily pretreated with a median of 4 (range 2-7) previous chemotherapy lines prior to eribulin. Median patient age was 50 years (range 28-67). Most patients were treated with eribulin at 4th or 5th line (33.3 and 27.3%, respectively). Brain metastases were present in 19 (28.8%) patients at the time of initial eribulin administration. Median PFS was 5 (95% CI 4.1-5.8) and median OS was 8 (95% CI 6-9.9) months. Fifteen patients (22.7%) responded to treatment with partial remission (PR) and 36 (54%) had stable disease (SD). No hypersensitivity reactions and no toxic deaths were observed. Three (5%) patients experienced grade 4 neurotoxicity. Fourteen (21.5%) patients developed grade 3-4 neutropenia.
CONCLUSION: Eribulin monotherapy is an effective and safe regimen for MBC patients. Its low toxicity profile compared to other intravenous cytotoxic agents and the ease in its intravenous administration make this agent a preferable option for both physicians and patients.

Melatonin for Prevention of Breast Radiation Dermatitis: A Phase II, Prospective, Double-Blind Randomized Trial.
Isr Med Assoc J. 2016 Mar-Apr; 18(3-4):188-92 [PubMed] Related Publications
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the efficacy of melatonin-containing cream in minimizing acute radiation dermatitis.
METHODS: In this phase II, prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled double-blind study, patients who underwent breast-conserving surgery for stage 0-2 breast cancer were randomly allocated to melatonin emulsion (26 women) or placebo (21 women) for twice daily use during radiation treatment and 2 weeks following the end of radiotherapy. All women received 50 Gy whole breast radiation therapy with 2 Gy/fx using computed tomography-based 3D planning. Patients were examined and completed a detailed questionnaire weekly and 2 weeks following the end of treatment.
RESULTS: The occurrence of grade 1/2 acute radiation dermatitis was significantly lower (59% vs. 90%, P = 0.038) in the melatonin group. Women older than 50 had significantly less dermatitis than younger patients (56% vs. 100%, P = 0.021). The maximal radiation dermatitis in the study group was grade 2 in 15% of the treated patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Patients treated with melatonin-containing emulsion experienced significantly reduced radiation dermatitis compared to patients receiving placebo.
Radiation Associated Angiosarcoma: Case Series from a Community Cancer Center and Review of the Literature.
Del Med J. 2016; 88(3):78-82 [PubMed] Related Publications
METHODS: The Christiana Care Department of Pathology and the Helen F. Graham Cancer Center and Research Institute databases were queried from 2001-2011 and 2011-2015 respectively for soft tissue neoplasms of the breast. A total of 2,153 patients with diagnosis of malignant neoplasm of the breast not otherwise specified (NOS) were identified. There were seven cases of RAAS identified.
RESULTS: Seven patients with RAAS were identified. Average age at presentation was 70 years with a range of 58-87. Time from radiation therapy to diagnosis was 8.5 years with a range of 4.0 years to 14.9 years. Five of seven patients presented with skin lesions, all with varying clinical signs. Clinical lymphedema was not identified in any of these patients.
CONCLUSION: Radiation associated angiosarcoma of the breast is an aggressive tumor with poor prognosis. Larger studies are needed to evaluate adjuvant treatments; however the small number of cases makes this prohibitive. Genetic testing and potentially targeted therapies are emerging as options for treatment and prevention of this complicated disease process.

Peculiarities of breast cancer incidence rate in urban population and implementation of screening programs in health care system.
Wiad Lek. 2016; 69(1 Pt 2):61-3 [PubMed] Related Publications
THE AIM: The aim of research is a comparative analysis of BC illnesses among women's population in regional centers of Prydniprovsk-Donetsk which is an intensive industrial zone (Dnipropetrovsk city) and Transcarpathian region, clean natural area (Uzhgorod city). The latter belongs to a recreational area because of its natural and climatic features. Also, the aim is to estimate an influence of screening program implementation on mortality of women from BC within one year period from diagnosis date. O bject and methods: We have used data of state statistics records as per F-7 and F-35 forms, which were received while processing the primary medical documentation (№ 090/о, № 027-1/о and № 30-6/о). The said was carried out by means of regional branches of National Cancer Register of Ukraine. Rough indexes of BC incidence rate and part of lethal outcomes among BC patients before one year after diagnosis in regional centers were considered.
RESULTS: A considerable increase of incidence rate of BC has been detected in administrative centers of both regions. This incidence rate has reached 90 cases out of 100,000 female population. Substantial change in gender behavior due to influence of urban surrounding is a possible factor of high BC incidence rate of urban population.
CONCLUSIONS: Mammography screening implementation contributes to general and annual decrease of BC mortality among women's population.
Effect of Using the Same vs Different Order for Second Readings of Screening Mammograms on Rates of Breast Cancer Detection: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
JAMA. 2016; 315(18):1956-65 [PubMed] Related Publications
OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of changing the order for the second film reader of batches of screening mammograms on rates of breast cancer detection.
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: A multicenter, double-blind, cluster randomized clinical trial conducted at 46 specialized breast screening centers from the National Health Service Breast Screening Program in England for 1 year (all between December 20, 2012, and November 3, 2014). Three hundred sixty readers participated (mean, 7.8 readers per center)-186 radiologists, 143 radiography advanced practitioners, and 31 breast clinicians, all fully qualified to report mammograms in the NHS breast screening program.
INTERVENTIONS: The 2 readers examined each batch of digital mammograms in the same order in the control group and in the opposite order to one another in the intervention group.
MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: The primary outcome was cancer detection rate; secondary outcomes were rates of recall and disagreements between readers.
RESULTS: Among 1,194,147 women (mean age, 59.3; SD, 7.49) who had screening mammograms (596,642 in the intervention group; 597,505 in the control group), the images were interpreted in 37,688 batches (median batch size, 35; interquartile range [IQR]; 16-46), with each reader interpreting a median of 176 batches (IQR, 96-278). After completion of all subsequent diagnostic tests, a total of 10,484 cases (0.88%) of breast cancer were detected. There was no significant difference in cancer detection rate with 5272 cancers (0.88%) detected in the intervention group vs 5212 cancers (0.87%) detected in the control group (difference, 0.01% points; 95% CI, -0.02% to 0.04% points; recall rate, 24,681 [4.14%] vs 24,894 [4.17%]; difference, -0.03% points; 95% CI, -0.10% to 0.04% points; or rate of reader disagreements, 20,471 [3.43%] vs 20,793 [3.48%]; difference, -0.05% points; 95% CI, -0.11% to 0.02% points).
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Interpretation of batches of mammograms by qualified screening mammography readers using a different order vs the same order for the second reading resulted in no significant difference in rates of detection of breast cancer.

Assessment of pathological response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in locally advanced breast cancer using the Miller-Payne system and TUNEL.
Malays J Pathol. 2016; 38(1):25-32 [PubMed] Related Publications
MATERIALS AND METHOD: A cross-sectional analytical retrospective study was conducted on tissue of LABC diagnosed between 2010 and 2014 at the Department of Anatomical Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Indonesia Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital and Division of Surgical Oncology, Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital. Biopsy and resection specimens were compared to evaluate reduction in cellularity, which were subsequently categorized into stages of Miller-Payne (MP) classification. The resection specimens were stained with TUNEL and the percentage of apoptosis was calculated. Reduction in cellularity between biopsy and mastectomy specimens with TUNEL staining is evaluated as a modification of the MP method.
RESULTS: We found no association between clinical responses with percentage of apoptosis, MP pathological responses and modified MP. There was a correlation between the dead cell evaluated by MP and by modified MP (p=0.000).
CONCLUSION: Modified MP increases the degree or grading of pathological responses, but it does not improve the correlation with clinical response.

Integration of gene expression data and genetic variations involved in breast cancer.
J BUON. 2016 Jan-Feb; 21(1):61-9 [PubMed] Related Publications
METHODS: Gene expression profiles were applied to identify differential expression levels of genes between breast cancer and normal subjects. DNA sequencing data were extracted to analyze gene mutational information including number of mutations, number of mutated genes and their chromosomal distributions. Correlation analysis of gene mutations and differential expression was performed. Network-based approach was applied to compare the topological properties between the differentially expressed (DE) genes prone to mutation and those that(were not. Two-tailed p<0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
RESULTS: Statistical analysis showed that DE genes presented significantly positive correlation with the number of mutations (p=1.267E(-05)), mutated genes (p=0.00001) and total genes in the genome (p=2.489E(-06)). There were 81 genes, both DE and mutant, and they were distributed on chromosome 4 (N=51), chromosome 15 (N=29), and chromosome 18 (N=1). These 81 genes showed an increase in the number of genes interacting with in the protein-protein network.
CONCLUSION: Analysis of the integration of transcriptome and genome in breast cancer disclosed distinctive topology between the DE genes prone to mutation and those that were not.
Expression of sodium iodide symporter in human breast tissues.
J BUON. 2016 Jan-Feb; 21(1):53-60 [PubMed] Related Publications
METHODS: Fifty-six breast tissue samples from 52 operated women (41 BC, 11 benign breast diseases (BBD) and 4 peritumoral adjacent to the carcinoma tissues samples) were analyzed by immunohistochemistry using monoclonal anti-NIS antibody. Measurements of baseline levels of thyroid hormones and antibodies were also analysed in association with NIS protein expression.
RESULTS: NIS presented positive cytoplasmic immunoreactivity in the majority of BBD samples (45% ) and in 3 out of 4 breast tissues adjacent to carcinoma. Immunoreactivity was extremely faint in BC samples. Mean thyroid hormones levels and thyroid antibodies positivity did not differ statistically between patients with NIS positive (faint expression) and NIS negative BC. NIS expression appeared to be independent of estrogen (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) expression as well as of lymph node status.
CONCLUSIONS: BC samples expressed only faintly and mainly cytoplasmic NIS protein, suggesting the presence of a non-functional NIS protein. The hypothesis of the downregulation of NIS expression during carcinogenesis cannot be excluded.
Is helical tomotherapy-based intensity-modulated radiotherapy feasible and effective in bilateral synchronous breast cancer? A two-center experience.
J BUON. 2016 Jan-Feb; 21(1):46-52 [PubMed] Related Publications
METHODS: Fourteen patients with bilateral breast cancer were treated with tomotherapy between January 2011 and October 2014. The treatment planning objectives were to cover 95% of the planning target volume using a 95% isodose, with a minimum dose of 90% and a maximum dose of 107%. The organs at risk (OAR), such as the lungs, heart, esophagus and spinal cord, were contoured. Acute toxicity was recorded during and after radiation therapy.
RESULTS: The advantages included better treatment conformity with lower dosages to minimize the risk to susceptible organs, such as the lungs, heart and spinal cord. There was improved coverage of the planning target volume, including the regional nodes, without any field junction problems. The median homogeneity index was 0.13 and the median conformity index 1.32. The median V20, V15, V10 and V5 for the total lungs were 18.5, 23.3, 24.2 and 60%, respectively. Skin acute toxicity was grade 1 in 72% and grade 2 in 14% of the patients. Esophageal acute toxicity was grade 1 in 43% of the patients.
CONCLUSION: Tomotherapy delivers treatment that is well-tolerated, with high homogeneity and coverage indexes and the capability to reduce the irradiation dose received by the lungs and heart in PSBBC patients. This technique is therefore feasible and safe for the treatment of bilateral breast cancer.
The importance of quality control in the implementation of breast cancer screening program in the Health Center Zemun.
J BUON. 2016 Jan-Feb; 21(1):42-5 [PubMed] Related Publications
METHODS: Testing was performed in 2013 (opportunistic screening) and 2014 (organized screening) in the Health Centre Zemun. This included female population aged 50-69 years, belonging to the target population according to the national breast cancer screening programs. The Health Centre Zemun database of insured patients from the National Health Insurance Fund of the municipality of Zemun and Surcin was used for the evaluation of the screening performance. Statistical data processing was done with the statistical package SPSS-20.0.
RESULTS: There was a highly significant difference (p=0.000) in the implementation of opportunistic and organized screening, whereby the response of women in organized screening was much greater (11.48%) than of the women responding to opportunistic screening (0.27%). The low response of women noticed in the summer in organized screening was attributed to the fact that the majority of women in Serbia take their holidays in that period.
CONCLUSION: Performance and quality of screening depends on the control of all segments of the activities carried out in the screening process. Previous experience in organizing and controlling the quality of the implementation of screening can serve as a proven model, which by a multidisciplinary approach in practice can provide a better and safer healthcare.
Human mammaglobin: A specific marker for breast cancer prognosis.
J BUON. 2016 Jan-Feb; 21(1):35-41 [PubMed] Related Publications
METHODS: hMAM mRNA expression in leucocytes from peripheral blood samples from patients diagnosed with primary invasive breast cancer (IC), carcinoma in situ (CIS), or benign breast diseases was analyzed using RT-PCR. The hMAM protein levels and expression patterns in tissue from 3 patient groups were evaluated by immunohistochemical staining, and several non-breast neoplasms were selected as negative controls, undergoing the same examination.
RESULTS: The expression of hMAM mRNA was significantly higher in patients with IC or CIS compared to those with benign tumors (both<0.01). Immunohistochemical staining revealed similar results, where patients with IC or CIS had higher levels of hMAM protein (p<0.01 and p<0.01, respectively), while none of the negative controls expressed hMAM. Further analyses showed a strong correlation between hMAM protein/mRNA expression and clinicopathological factors, such as histological grade, clinical stage, and lymph node status, in patients with IC.
CONCLUSION: The hMAM mRNA and protein expression profiles validate the potential of hMAM as a specific marker for breast cancer diagnosis and target treatment delivery.

Patients with BMI ranging between 18.5 and 24.9 kg/m(2) were considered as normal weight patients (Arm A, n = 408), and/patients with a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m(2) were considered as overweight and obese patients (Arm B, n = 418).
RESULTS: In both normal weight and overweight patients, the baseline clinicopathologic properties and the treatment history with radiotherapy and chemotherapy were similar and no statistical significant difference could be detected. Tamoxifen in combination with luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist was used in 33% (136/408) of the patients in Arm A and in 22% (91/418) of patients in Arm B (p<0.001). Three-year disease free survival (DFS) rates were 89% and 87% in arm A and arm B, respectively (p=0.39). Three-year overall survival (OS) rates were 99% in arm A and 94% in arm B which appeared to be of significance (p=0.028). In univariate analysis no statistical significant effect of LHRH agonist usage on DFS (p=0.58) and OS (p=0.96) was found.
CONCLUSION: Although BMI had no negative effect on recurrence risk, poor OS was observed in overweight and obese premenopausal breast cancer patients with hormone-receptor positive tumors who were treated with tamoxifen.
Does single receptor positive breast carcinoma differ with regard to age, tumor grade, and HER2 amplification status?
J BUON. 2016 Jan-Feb; 21(1):21-6 [PubMed] Related Publications
METHODS: A total of 255 breast cancer patients were categorized on the basis of their tumor hormonal receptor phenotype, age, grade, and HER2 amplification status. The study focused on the SRP phenotype (ER+/PR- and ER-/PR+) and compared it with the DRP (ER+/PR+rpar; and DRN (ER-/PR-) tumors.
RESULTS: There were 103 (40.3%) DRP tumors, 98 (38.4%) DRN tumors and 54 (21%) SRP tumors, 41 (16.1%) of which were ER+/PR- and 13 (5.1%) were ER-/PR+. Compared to DRP tumors, the SRP group was more likely to be associated with grade 3 tumors and higher frequency of HER2 amplification status. ER-/PR+ tumors were more likely to be associated with younger age at diagnosis compared to ER+/PR- tumors. HER2 amplification, age, and grade were not significantly different between ER-/PR+ and DRN groups. Compared to the DRN group, the ER+/PR- group had lower grade.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings demonstrated that SRP phenotype including ER+/PR- and ER-/PR+ tumors is different from DRP group with regard to age, grade, and HER2 amplification status. Moreover, our data showed that ER-/PR+ tumors are associated with younger age.
Breast and Colorectal Cancer Survival Disparities in Southeastern Wisconsin.
WMJ. 2016; 115(1):17-21 [PubMed] Related Publications
METHODS: This paper examines breast and colorectal cancer survival disparities in an 8-county region in southeastern Wisconsin, including the City of Milwaukee. Cox proportional hazards models were used to examine survival trends, and a new adaptation of adaptive spatial filtering--a disease mapping method--was used to examine spatial patterns of survival.
RESULTS: Disparities by race and ethnicity are revealed, and spatial analyses identify specific areas within the study region that have lower than expected survival rates.
CONCLUSIONS: Cancer control efforts in southeastern Wisconsin should focus on black/African American and Hispanic/Latina women to reduce breast cancer survival disparities, and black/African American populations to reduce colorectal cancer disparities. Evidence indicates that targeted interventions may be needed to serve populations in the Milwaukee and Kenosha metropolitan areas, as well as areas of Walworth, Ozaukee, and Waukesha counties.

Or guarantee a future for the water vole, Ratty in The Wind in the Willows? The bill is pounds 150,000. Feeling seriously rich? Around pounds 3m a year would save the shrinking and increasingly scraggy hedgerows of Britain.
The figures come from a two-volume, 400-page report not-so-snappily entitled Biodiversity: The UK Steering Group Report, which costs a mere pounds 56. It may be written in leaden, official prose but its importance cannot be denied - which is why organisations like the Wildlife Trusts treat it as if it were the Bible. The report is the fruit of long and unprecedented collaboration between the Government and the nation's conservation charities, large and small.
The story of this co-operation begins with the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro five years ago. There, presidents and prime ministers (including John Major) from 150 countries signed a UN treaty aimed at conserving biodiversity - the planet's fantastic wealth of plant and animal species. Writing the report and then implementing what it calls for will be Britain's most important act in fulfilling its treaty obligations.
The British document was drawn up by a group which included representatives from the National Farmers' Union, the Country Landowners Association, research institutes and local councils as well as senior civil servants and people from the Wildlife Trusts, the World Wide Fund for Nature and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds - in other words, people from the organisations that matter most in conserving Britain's flora and fauna.
It was published at the end of 1995. In May 1996 the Environment Secretary, John Gummer, made a formal, written response saying that Government accepted the main proposals. They are now official policy and it seems highly unlikely that Tony Blair's administration - which has promised to put environment at the heart of Government - will go back on them.
The core of the report consists of action plans for 116 key species and 14 types of habitat. Some, like the otter and dormouse, are well known and loved; others like the Norfolk flapwort (a small aquatic plant) are not. All are very rare or in rapid decline and many legally protected.
Each plan comes with targets and price tags attached. If they are carried out then each species and habitat will be stabilised and guaranteed a future. (There are one or two exceptions; a few species which have disappeared from Britain altogether or which are so rare, obscure and little understood that no one yet knows how to go about saving them.)
Most of the species action plans demand more research on where the animal or plant in question is distributed, what its habitat requirements are, and on spreading advice to landowners on how to manage their acres in a way which favours it. Both the species and the habitat plans call for improved management with subsidies to landowners for doing this. For the 116 species, the extra costs involved (over and above what is being spent on conservation now) are put at around pounds 3m a year up to 2010. As for the habitat action plans, the extra costs are put at pounds 13m this year rising to pounds 37m in 2010.
To date the conservation charities have picked up about half of the bill for implementing the species plans, with the Government funding the rest. If that funding split was to continue, then the Government's share of the entire programme for 116 species and 14 habitats would work out at a maximum of about pounds 1 per adult British citizen a year - not a high price for a huge nature conservation gain in the UK.
But it now seems pretty unlikely that any new Government money will be found to meet the bill. Instead, existing "green" spending may be diverted into the plans and there are hopes that some of the money for rescuing the 14 key habitats will come through reforms in the EU Common Agricultural Policy farm subsidies.
Work is now under way on turning some of the action plans into action. For each species, a conservation charity or a Government body such as English Nature has taken responsibility for leading the work. The Wildlife Trusts are taking the lead in plans for a dozen species including the dormouse, the otter, four insects (two of them ants), two fungi and four plants, including that obscure flapwort.
"We're starting to see action on the ground now - the plan is making a difference,'' said Sara Hawkswell, a conservation officer with the Wildlife Trusts. There used to be seven or eight experts and various organisations around the country working separately on the conservation of the dormouse. "Now we've got a shared commitment and we're using that to focus our work.'' Meanwhile, work has begun on writing action plans for another 286 species and 24 habitats which the report identified as the next most deserving cases.
The Government had hoped that private-sector sponsorship would play a major part with companies identified as "wildlife champions" providing money for individual action plans. But after a year only one has been found - ICI will sponsor two butterfly species. The problem with this idea is that the most charismatic, appealing species - like the dormouse and the red squirrel - already have at least one private-sector sponsor involved in existing conservation projects. Meanwhile, companies are not exactly queuing up to sponsor small and obscure species like the depressed river mussel. With no new Government funding forthcoming, and the wildlife charities having only limited funds, progress on many of the 116 current species plans - let alone the 286 forthcoming ones - is in danger of ceasing.
Progress on implementing the habitat action plans has also been disappointingly slow. Considering the much larger scale and expense of the task, that is hardly surprising. "The habitat action plans are really just sitting there, with people stepping cautiously around the edges,'' said Ms Hawkswell.

NEW YORK, NY - OCTOBER 30: A construction crane hangs off of the side of One57, seen from Central Park on October 30, 2012 in New York City. The crane was blown loose from the residential construction project during Hurricane Sandy. The storm has claimed at least 16 lives in the United States, and has caused massive flooding across much of the Atlantic seaboard. US President Barack Obama has declared the situation a 'major disaster' for large areas of the US East Coast including New York City. (Photo by Michael Heiman/Getty Images)

Yesterday, Mayor Bloomberg said the crushed crane hanging off the side of the billionaire-beloved One57 could have been an act of God for all anyone knew, but there would be no securing it until the storm passed. In other words, pray for Midtown.
It appears to have worked, because the crane boom remains intact, as photos coming in from the press agencies and on social media show. Eric Trump even tweeted a photo from his office on Fifth Avenue and 57th Street, two blocks away.

Don't miss a story. Like us on Facebook. Like Dallas News' Facebook Page
For me, any banned books summon up images of the Nazis, who burned books, and Ray Bradbury's brilliant Fahrenheit 451, with its link between burned books and an authoritarian society that knows a key to controlling a population is controlling the ideas they encounter.
At a time when we increasingly understand the connection between bullying and youth suicide and the importance of inclusiveness of different sexual orientations, I find it particularly sad that a middle school, which cares for kids at a time when they are most confused and looking for someone who understand who they are and how they are feeling, would make this book unavailable.
Federle followed up the column he wrote last year for Banned Books Week on Huffington Post with a July interview for Playbill.com.
His middle school in Pittsburgh, Pa. never explicitly said that was the reason they didn't include his book in their library and didn't want him to visit and share his book. But this is what he said in the interview:
"If you grow up getting called names you can sense tone, and I know why they canceled on me. Other schools... have been more overt and just said, 'There's a middle schooler in your book that thinks he might be gay so we're going to cancel on you...What was hardest was imagining a little version of me in school. Struggling with anything. [The kids missed] meeting somebody who's been in their shoes and still the next day gone on and chose to go on."
Better Nate Than Never is the story is about the adventures of Nate Foster, a 13-year-old who runs away from his Pennsylvania home to go to New York City to audition for E.T. the Musical.
I am happy to report Federle received a warm welcome in Dallas when he spoke to kids about Better Nate and its sequel, Five, Six, Seven, Nate! as part of the BooksmArt program at the Dallas Museum of Art in March.

Jadrolinija have a car ferry that goes as far as Sobra and from there you can take a bus if you want to get to the National Park following is winter timetable (summer one not yet published. jadrolinija.hr/pdfs/Dubrovni...
It is not so easy to get to Korcula from Mljet, but you can sometimes get a lift on an excursion boat although this is not a reliable means if you definitely need to meet a deadline. Main ferry that stops at Mljet and Korcula jadrolinija.hr/pdfs/linie%20...

When you follow a low carb, LCHF or keto diet, you find that you end up eating a lot of eggs. Eggs for breakfast. Eggs for lunch. Even eggs for dinner. So you search for creative options to give you some variety.
I like to use eggs to make a casserole. Depending upon what you add to it, it can work for any meal and really you have a limitless variety of meal options. Plus it serves a lot and is very filling so you can turn it into multiple meals or serve the whole family for a single meal.
Before we get to the recipe, you can find more great low carb recipes in any of these books. I have them all and they are great!
|Low Carb Sausage and Egg Breakfast Casserole
- 1 pound ground pork or ground pizza sausage
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 6 large eggs
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Brown sausage in a skillet.
- Whisk together eggs, seasonings and shredded cheese.
- Drain sausage and allow to cool.
- Blend sausage and egg mixture and pour into a 9" pie pan.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes or until firm.
You can add veggies to this or serve it with a red sauce or a cream sauce. You can use a pie dish or double the recipe and make a much larger casserole. You can even bake it in a cast iron pan! The possibilities are endless! You can also slice this up to make it easy to reheat the slices for breakfast all week.
What would you add to this casserole?

This is great!!
"Mount speakers in the parking lot to begin and end the workday with music. Change the tunes each day or week to reflect different tastes and generations.
Create a "Jam Room" in your facility for all employees. Fill it with instruments of all kinds and some percussion instruments as well."
Yeah, ok — I don't know where any of you people work, but I know at my company this would NEVER fly! We aren't even allowed to have radios!! I think it would be absolutely hysterical to mount speakers in the parking lot — except here we would just be listening to more corporate rhetoric — like at the work camps……
I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Keep up the good work. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.

He's on to something. Maybe not that extreme, but music does enhance intelligence and create a positive atmosphere at work and at home.
Let the music begin!
I do enjoy music — don't get me wrong — I was just hoping, without hope, I guess, that my employer would do this! 🙂
Well well well, we've raised the consciousness of our fellow music lovers with the recent my recent piece on music in the workplace.
I do agree with some of you that music in the workplace is a tough issue to show strong evidence either way. However, if music makes us feel better in any way, then finding more ways to utilize it is the right way to approach the topic.
I watched the move Bridge on the River Kwai last nite and everytime they whistle that tune, I get a very deep sense of something for the human spirit inside me. Maybe you do too.
And now that I've suggested the tune, let's see how many of you find yourself humming that song in your head the rest of the day.
You've just been selected to be part of a social experiment on the power of suggestion. Do do. Do do do do do do…..do. Go ahead, whistle. You'll feel good!
