If you've been by the lodge lately, you've noticed the new and improved entrance. Many thanks to the skilled volunteers and financial support from folks like the Boone Shag Club to help see the project to completion. This new entrance is now safer, more inviting and energy efficient! Kudos to the Moose that put their talents to work for our Lodge!
Ben, Mark and other Legion members now have tickets available for the Legion Celebration in Gastonia. Some great prizes can be won so be sure to talk to a Legion member and get a ticket today!
The kitchen is now open everyday and some fine food has been coming out! Please do your part in helping to keep the kitchen operation up and running and grab a bite to eat the next time you're in the lodge. Take-out orders are available and the menu has continued to grow.
If you have any ideas on Lodge activities or things that you'd like to see happening at our Lodge, please let Mark, a bartender or any officer know. Let's get the conversation going. This is our Lodge and we will be the ones that make something happen.

Hey Folks, the Chapter will be having another Winter Warmth
Campaign, beginning Aug 7th and running through the month
of Oct. So as you are clearing out your coats and blankets
for the summer – think about helping a family or a child stay
warm this winter.
I just want to take this opportunity to inform you that this will be my last newsletter for the Lodge. Tom & I have been members of this lodge for 25 1/2 years and it has been a roller coaster ride over the years. We have seen this place flourish and we have seen days that we wondered if the doors would be open. We are so grateful for the things that we have gotten to experience over the years and the friendships that we have made. I am sorry that Tom did not get to make it to see his dream come true which was to be the Department President in August of this year, he would have been a good one & I am so proud of him. I know that Tom was proud of all of the accomplishments that I have made over the years, as Star Recorder, Academy Friendship & College of Regent. I have to say until I visited the Mooseheart campus back in 1996, I had no idea what and why we were doing all of this. Seeing all of those kids faces and the beautiful campus where they live put this all in perspective. However, now that Tom has passed away my life has changed and it is time for me to move on and begin a new life.Therefore, at the end of July Tom and I & Mousse will be moving to Tampa, Florida to begin a life with Tom's family. So with that said, I wish you all the very best and May God Bless each and every one of you, this is NOT Good-bye, this is until we meet again, wherever that maybe.

From the Board Of Officers:
One of the top priorities of this board is to increase membership. Our Lodge has experienced a steady decline in membership over the past 12 years, as have many Lodges across the Country. We will not survive if this continues and this trend must be reversed. However, there are numerous Lodges in the NCMA that are experiencing tremendous growth in membership as well as revenue. There is one thing these Lodges all have in common; they have all become smoke free. As your Board Of Officers, we unanimously agree that our Lodge should be non-smoking. Not only to increase membership and revenue, but also to make the Social Quarters a more comfortable gathering place for our current members, many of whom do not come in because of the smoke. All members will receive notification in the mail about our special meeting, which will be held on April 2nd, where we will vote on this issue. Please come to this meeting and cast your vote!

We need your help. If anyone has any information regarding Lodge members who have passed on, have an illness, or are recovering from surgery, we would appreciate all the thoughts & prayers and well wishes to those in need. Please keep members posted on all issues. I want to take this opportunity to Thank each & everyone of you in this Lodge for everything that you all have done for me and my family during this past year. Besides Tom's faith and family, this Lodge was Tom's love and passion. He was very proud of this Lodge and so look forward to being the Department President in 2016. Tom was my best friend, he made me laugh, he held me when I cried, and he supported me in the best & worst of times. I feel as though a part of me has died with him, but because of our Moose Family, our daughter and my work, I am taking one day and a time but NEVER forgetting what a wonderful husband, father and friend he was. Thank you for your continued love and support! Karen

September 1st marks two years since I became your Administrator. I would like to thank everyone for supporting our Lodge and making us financially solvent once again. It's a great thing to see us all working together in order to get things done. Our celebrations and parties are awesome. But that's not the reason our Lodge exists. In the coming months our Lodge needs to concentrate on doing community service. If we do this, our Lodge will become more visible in our community and our membership will increase. I look forward to working with all of you in this area..

The NCMA Annual Conference is being held in Greensboro 8/22 through 8/25. Those of us who have been before know how much fun it is. Those who have never been definitely should experience this event. For our new members info, this convention and the mid-year in February, are held for the purpose of conducting the business of the North Carolina Moose Association, (NCMA). Attendance at the meetings is recommended but not mandatory. The weekend is packed with activities, and as you know, you can't get 1500 Moose together without it becoming a party. There is live music and hospitality rooms where food and drinks are provided free of charge! The convention center is very nice, with restaurants, bars, and a nice swimming pool area complete with large hot tub! If you would like to go, ask an officer for details about booking rooms etc.

This seems to be an age of particular uncertainty. It is an age when astronomers have realised that 90% of the universe is missing and particles have been found to be popping in and out of existence. At a more mundane level, the immediate certainties of medical science are collapsing by way of confusion over the benefits, if any, of routine procedures ranging from hormone replacement therapy to mammograms.
Journalism suffers something of a preoccupation with certainties in the form of "the truth". So, as a journalist trying to be more in tune with the times - and about to venture into a fresh arena of uncertainty by way of brain surgery next week - I am going to defy the professional pretension by writing an unfinished story, the significance of which I haven't the faintest clue. It is the curious story of a medicinal drug called apomorphine. The drug is, as the name suggests, an opiate developed more than a century ago in the same labs at Friedrich Bayer & Co that produced aspirin and heroin. Apomorphine was introduced to medicine as an emetic, to induce vomiting.
In the 30s a doctor specialising in addiction, John Yerbury Dent, discovered that a seemingly separate attribute of the drug from its emetic quality was its ability to ameliorate withdrawal symptoms. The drug seemed to remove the craving from addiction and took the fear out of going "cold turkey".
The American beat generation writer William S Burroughs was successfully treated for his drug addiction by Dent with the help of apomorphine, but the treatment never caught on. Confusion with its use in aversion therapy could have contributed to its lack of popularity. Burroughs himself (a man of considerable imagination) claimed the drug was the victim of a conspiracy among the US law enforcement agencies who nursed a prejudice against opiates in general and felt that addicts should suffer anyway.
Whatever the truth of it, apomorphine enjoyed yet another incarnation as an effective drug in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, but the nausea it induced meant it had to be administered by hourly injections, or an infusion pump implanted in the stomach. With the development of anti-nausea drugs and more efficient means of administration than injection - such as nasal sprays or patches - the drug still seemed full of potential where Parkinson's was concerned. Indeed, research published in 1999 found that apomorphine outperformed even L-dopa, the so-called "gold standard" drug in the treatment of Parkinson's. Unfortunately, funding for the research ran out before it was taken any further. Meanwhile, a fourth incarnation was awaiting apomorphine. One mysterious aspect of the pharmacological treatment of Parkinson's is the coincidence (based on anecdotal evidence) that most of the drugs used seem to have an impact on sexual activity.
When L-dopa, was developed in the mid-1960s the effect on erections was common gossip in the corridors of medicine. But it was not paraded in print. Similarly eldepryl, an adjunct to L-dopa in the treatment of Parkinson's, seems to help deal with impotence. Bromocriptine, another familiar drug to the Parkinson's patient, was the subject of a hefty out-of-court settlement of an £8.5m damages case last year in which a businessman complained that it had turned him into "a deranged sex maniac".
There are even recent research findings which suggest that the most famous of treatments for impotency, Viagra, can also help Parkinson's. So it came as no particular surprise to American researchers when they dosed 50 impotent volunteers with apomorphine in the mid 90s, to find them vomiting over their erections. A sub-lingual tablet (dissolving under the tongue) was quickly developed, which avoided the vomiting while maintaining the erection. The FDA has so far declined to licence it on safety grounds, complaining that, in addition to erections, it could cause dizziness and fainting, which it said was a potential hazard for motorists. In the EU, where there is presumably less of a demand on motorists to have erections while driving, apomorphine went on sale last year under the brand name Uprima, touted as Viagra's major rival to be the world's leading aphrodisiac.
Which is the end for now of a century-old, unfinished story, no doubt full of significance the nature of which I haven't the foggiest. Except to say I have not found a doctor who will administer it to me. Oh, for Parkinson's, of course.

The multidimensional character of pain presents a therapeutic challenge that would benefit greatly from a better understanding of higher brain functions that regulate its complex emotional-affective aspects. Neuropathic pain is generally believed to result from maladaptive neuroplasticity but underlying mechanisms, particularly those in higher brain centers, are not well understood. This project will focus on abnormal function of the amygdala, a brain area that is recognized as a key player in the emotional-affective dimension of pain. Our goal is to mitigate maladaptive amygdala plasticity and block the development of chronic neuropathic pain. A critical determinant, we believe, is pain-related plasticity of serotonin 5-HT2C receptor (5-HT2CR) control of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) signaling in the amygdala because CRF is associated with 5-HT2CR- mediated negative affective states and CRF1 receptors mediate amygdala plasticity in inflammatory pain. Here we advance the novel concept that abnormal function of 5-HT2CR in the amygdala is a critical mechanism of chronic neuropathic pain and its emotional-affective component, and is also the likely cause of the limited efficacy of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) to treat neuropathic pain. Specifically, we propose the novel hypothesis that 5-HT2CR in the basolateral amygdala (BLA, amygdala input region), drives a vicious cycle involving CRF1 receptors that results in abnormal activity in the central nucleus (CeA, output region). 5- HT2CR-driven maladaptive plasticity in the BLA-CeA circuitry plays a critical role in chronic neuropathic pain.
Three Specific Aims (SAs) will determine synaptic and cellular mechanisms and behavioral consequences of manipulation of 5-HT2CR function in the amygdala in the spinal nerve ligation (SNL) rat model of neuropathic pain. Complementary pharmacological and novel viral vector knockdown strategies will be utilized in all aims for local inactivation or elimination of 5-HT2CR in the amygdala. Behavioral experiments (SA1) will determine the role of 5-HT2CR and CRF1 in the BLA in the emotional-affective component of neuropathic pain. Electrophysiology in vivo (SA2) will examine the hypothesis that 5-HT2CR in the BLA drives CRF1 activation and central sensitization of CeA output neurons. Patch-clamp studies in brain slices (SA3) will determine excitatory and (dis-)inhibitory synaptic and cellular mechanisms of plasticity in the BLA-CeA network that results from abnormal 5-HT2CR function driving persistent CRF1 signaling. Systemic application of a 5-HT2CR antagonist and SSRI in SA1 and SA2 will validate their clinical utility and viability. These conceptually novel studies will characterize the 5-HT2CR/CRF1 interaction in the amygdala as an important mechanism of chronic neuropathic pain. We will also identify strategies to eliminate or disrupt this signaling mechanism to block maladaptive amygdala plasticity and thus neuropathic pain. The mechanistic analysis of higher brain functions and drug targets in pain will boost basic science knowledge required for evidence-based medicine and provide translational strategies for pharmacotherapeutics and/or gene therapy.
Neuropathic pain is notoriously difficult to treat. A better understanding of its complex nature is required for novel and improved therapeutic strategies and necessitates the comprehensive analysis of higher brain functions, which is thus an important but understudied area of pain research. The proposed multidisciplinary studies will identify a novel neuropathic pain mechanism in an emotional center of the brain (amygdala) and explore strategies to eliminate this target (serotonin 5-HT2C receptor) to block the persistence of neuropathic pain, thus improving strategies for pain management.

Recently, Yahoo (NASDAQ:YHOO) has been talking about acquiring a company called News Distribution Network [NDN]. Although the acquisition might just be hearsay, it's still worth paying attention to. If the acquisition goes through, NDN could fuel some serious growth for Yahoo.
What's going on?
Yahoo unsuccessfully attempted to acquire both Hulu and Dailymotion in 2013. During the Q4 2013 earnings call, CEO Marissa Mayer was adamant on video being a key component to Yahoo's growth. During the call she said, "We are focused on building our audience and our library."
The upcoming IPO of Alibaba will likely inject a lot of cash into Yahoo's books. What's a quick way to gain a video audience and library when you have boat-load of cash? Acquire a company with both! Hence, Yahoo's interest in NDN.
What's NDN?
News Distribution Network, Inc. is an online video property founded in 2007 by Grep Peters, a former AT&T (NYSE:T) executive. The company makes video clips available to editors at sites such as the New York Times, Bloomberg, and New York Daily News and sells advertisements that play before the video clips. NDN is the fourth largest video site, with 573 million views and has built a library of over 100,000 videos from various partners. The company is a small version of Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG), (NASDAQ:GOOGL) YouTube.
Will NDN be able to compete with YouTube?
Before we can decide if NDN will be able to compete with YouTube, let's compare the two companies.
YouTube: anyone can create a YouTube "channel," upload content, and get paid through "Google adsense" based on how many people click on the advertisements that run before their videos.
NDN: content gets uploaded from its 800 premium providers then is published by its 4,500 publisher sites. Similar to YouTube, content providers and publishers earn revenue based on how many people click on the advertisements.
NDN is a "premium" content exchange. The content is only provided by a select group of providers, so advertisers can be confident that their ads won't run before silly or offensive videos. With YouTube, virtually anyone can provide content. NDN brands itself as an efficient solution for newspapers, magazines, TV, radio websites, and advertisers.
The biggest difference between the two companies is brand integrity. Many places of business forbid their employees from watching videos on YouTube because of the extensive amount of inappropriate and meaningless content. In contrast, all of the videos that flow through the NDN exchange are filtered by a team of editors to ensure "brand-safe" content and quality advertising for its partners.
The fact that anyone can upload videos to YouTube and virtually anyone can create a Google Adsense account suggests that YouTube will become more and more inefficient for publishers, content providers, and advertisers. As the website becomes saturated with low-quality videos, it will become more and more difficult for content providers to generate revenue through the platform.
NDN is meant to be a solution for content providers, advertisers, and publishers who are frustrated by their experiences with content exchanges. It seems the Company may benefit from YouTube users who are seeking an alternative.
How will NDN help Yahoo generate profit?
So, why should Yahoo be interested in NDN? Because NDN will enable Yahoo to compete with YouTube, (owned by Google Inc) in the booming streaming video industry.
If Yahoo purchases NDN, both companies will benefit. NDN's extensive video library will give Yahoo a giant foothold in the video industry. And Yahoo's massive access to capital will enable NDN to grow faster than it could on its own. The synergy of the acquisition could mean huge profits for Yahoo.
How much profit are we talking?
Purchase price: rumor has it, Yahoo might buy NDN for $300 million -$400 million. Let's try to ballpark what it could be worth in the future by comparing it to YouTube.
Future value: According to Morgan Stanley, YouTube may be worth $20 billion by 2020. YouTube currently has over a billion unique viewers per month, whereas NDN has about 51 million. Assuming monthly views are a good way to value a streaming video company, NDN should be worth roughly 5% of YouTube. If NDN grows at a similar rate, it might be worth $1 billion by 2020.
Return on investment: for Yahoo, a $350 million investment turning into $1 billion means an ROI of 185% or about 19% annual return over a six year period.
The calculations above are rough and based on some hefty assumptions. But the reality of the situation is NDN has achieved 50 million unique monthly viewers on its own. With access to Yahoo's capital and expertise, NDN could be worth significantly more than $1 billion by 2020 and could be serious competition for Google's YouTube.
So, will the acquisition happen?
According to a source in a Wall Street Journal article, the acquisition talks might not happen. A spokeswoman of NDN was even quotes saying "NDN and Yahoo are not discussing an acquisition at this time." Regardless of the current situation, it's worth keeping an ear to the ground for developments. If the transaction occurs, it could be huge for Yahoo shareholders.

After Japanese Scientists at Tokyo University and Global Seismologists predicted a 70% chance of a 7+ Richter-scale earthquake hitting Japan by 2016, the majority of Japanese non-government organizations realized that ensuring their organizations integrity when they are hit by a disaster is critical to being able to deliver relief to local populations. In response to this realization, International Medical Corps began working with seasoned business continuity planning (BCP) experts from two premier Japanese risk management corporations (Tokio Marine & Nichido Risk Consulting Co., Ltd., and Mitsubishi Corporation Insurance Co., Ltd.), and have successfully completed a three-part workshop series that taught local humanitarian aid organizations the fundamentals of business continuity planning.
Through a combination of lectures and hands-on practical exercises that took participating non-government organizations (NGOs) through a simulated disaster; potential risks were identified (e.g., closed roads, power outages, etc.); the specific tasks staff members must complete to ensure that they are functional and able to fulfill their mandate after the disaster were established; people were assigned responsible for each task; and special strategies that must be used as part of the planning process were decided upon.
Participants then developed a list of action items, including timeframes, to ensure the implementation of their plan was realistic and carried out in a timely manner. At the end of the series, each NGO was able to create a simple, practical BCP plan that fits its organizational needs. A total of 25 individuals from 17 organizations completed this course. For those organizations requesting additional assistance, BCP experts also provided feedback to the organization's BCP draft and offered suggestions/advice for improvement.
The response from the participants was overwhelmingly positive. Here are a few examples of the feedback we received:
Hiroyuki Kakuho, Administrative Manager for Japan Platform (JPF):
"JPF is known as an emergency response organization. It is vital that we are able to function during an emergency. Clearly identifying what we need to do to be ready in a time of crisis and making appropriate preparations has always been a core issue, but we had been unable to really work on any concrete plans with everyone being busy with their own day-to-day work. We also didn't know where to begin to better prepare ourselves. This BCP workshop was very important in teaching our staff specific techniques on how to think through and create a BCP plan that fits our organization's needs. Since we were getting trained with other NGOs, we also benefited from sharing our concerns, ideas and experiences with each other, which allowed us to gain hints as to how to create a more realistic plan of action."
"We found the BCP creation process outlined by the experts very thorough and with a logical flow. We were surprised at how the workshops spent a lot of time on practical exercises. It was also great that the assignments we received between workshops helped focus our discussions and prepared us for the next lessons. We also appreciated how there was ample time between the three workshops so that we had some time to go back to our organization and think through various issues. We were able to share the BCP learning process with our other colleagues and discuss what should go into our BCP plan."
"We are currently updating our simple BCP based on what we learned at this workshop series. We are looking forward to more of the same kind of practical workshops from International Medical Corps that will build our capacity and help us to more effectively do our work."
Japan Platform (JPF) is an international emergency humanitarian aid organization made up of 44 member NGOs, the majority of which do emergency humanitarian aid throughout the world. JPF conducts aid through a tripartite cooperation system, where NGOs, business community, and government of Japan work in close cooperation, based on equal partnership.
Masayuki Okada, Administrative Manager for Association for Aid and Relief (AAR) Japan:
"AAR Japan has been concerned about how we would respond if a natural disaster should strike our own headquarters in the greater Tokyo area, a likelihood we know all too well could happen in the future. When we heard about this opportunity to learn about BCP directly from BCP experts, we thought this would be a great chance to brush up on our organization's BCP approach."
"Two staff members from AAR Japan including myself participated in these workshops. We learned many specific techniques such as how to calculate the number of staff that would likely be able to come to the office if transportation routes were closed and how to identify priority tasks for our operations during an emergency as opposed to normal times. We also realized that we faced serious issues if the building in which our office is located becomes inaccessible, such as losing the ability to access any of the data we have stored on our server or any workspace our staff would need to carry out their tasks even if they could make it to the office. Thanks to these lessons, we are now creating a backup plan for saving our data and are considering moving our office to a newer building with more advanced earthquake resistance."
"This workshop even included a review of AAR Japan's BCP plan by the experts, something we would have had great difficulty getting on our own. Japanese NGOs in general have a great budget limitation, and so getting expert advice is extremely difficult."
"Based on what we learned, AAR Japan has already started to improve upon a number of measures we already had in place, such as our procedures to check on the safety of our staff and measures to better utilize our satellite phones to ensure communication in case both landlines and mobile phone lines crash during an emergency. We plan on reviewing our BC plan on a regular basis within our organization and make sure that our staff are aware of what is in the BC plan. We hope to run simulations with staff to test how the BCP plan would work. We ask for International Medical Corps and the BCP experts to continue to support our efforts to prepare ourselves for emergencies."
Association for Aid and Relief, Japan (AAR Japan) is a NGO focusing on emergency assistance, assistance to persons with disabilities, and Mine/UXO action. AAR Japan initiated Tohoku aid and relief activities one day after the Great East Japan Earthquake and they have been engaged in emergency and recovery assistance in the affected areas ever since.
Kazutaka Ueda, Senior Program Manager for SEEDS Asia:
"SEEDS Asia was only created in 2006 and so is still a young NGO. Until 3 years ago, we only had 5 staff members. During these last years we've expanded our projects and now have 3 branch offices. It was perfect timing for us when we learned about International Medical Corps' BCP training, because within our organization we were recently discussing the need to have a continuity plan in the case of an emergency like a natural disaster. We jumped at the chance to participate and traveled the over 500km from Kobe to Tokyo for the workshops."
"What drew us to this workshop was the fact that it wasn't just a lecture but a workshop that would actually result in creating a BCP. Like most small NGOs in Japan, we are extremely limited in human and financial resources, and we hadn't had the time to spend making a BC plan on our own. If we hadn't participated in a workshop like this that let us put words on paper (i.e., a written BCP), we would probably have never been able to create our own BCP. In addition, it was important that we shared the BCP process with our staff so we are all on the same page about how we should respond in case of an emergency."
"It was wonderful to be able to ask questions and receive advice from BCP experts specific to our organization's needs. Being able to have this one-on-one advice increased the practicality of our BC plan and helped us think more deeply about what we can do to be operationally functioning when disaster strikes at our own doorstep."

GBFreeHosting has been in poor state for a long time. Most of the services are unavailable, e.g. FTP, irresponsive control panel, and the uptime became unbearable recently due to lack of due dilligence by 3rd party who was managing the servers.
Eventually, we decided to shutdown the service and move towards a better alternative.
ProFreeHost is the next-gen free hosting service where you will experience better uptimes and excellent features.
Don't worry, you will still be able to access your accounts on GbFreeHosting at http://cpanel.gbfreehosting.com and move your website from GbFreeHosting to ProfreeHost.

We're in Seattle to take in the ever-growing Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) and to match the informal tone of the show, we're going to bring you periodic blog updates on our adventures, in addition to game specific articles.
|On Friday, the show really doesnt get under way at all. There are some panels and competitions in the mid-to-late afternoon, but until then, we had some time to kill. Carolyn and I met Victor Watcher, Meghan Rodberg and Ariel Jaffee-Marks for breakfast. The three community gurus who between them cover Dungeons and Dragons Online and Lord of the Rings Online joined us in downtown Bellevue, the suburb of Seattle where PAX is held.
Wed planned an actual interview and demonstration on the show floor, so the atmosphere was quite informal. A perfect and symbolic start to the festivities. Later today, well be meeting Nick Parkinson, a community guy from Sigils Vanguard for lunch to talk a bit more formally before finally heading over to the show.
You can read the blog entry here.

Cool.. looking forward to the updates.
I'm an idiot because I just stood in line for an hour and paid my $20 to get in only to find out the exhibition floor (where all the MMOs will be showcased) isn't open until tomorrow. Thankfully the nice girl taking money at the entrance gave me a refund. Oh well.. till tomorrow

The Shanghai Women's Health Study (SWHS, R01 CA70867) is a population-based cohort study of approximately 75,000 Chinese women who were recruited between 1997 and 2000 and have been followed through multiple in-person follow-up surveys and record linkages. Over the years, data and biological samples collected in the SWHS have been used to evaluate many important etiologic hypotheses and support multiple studies, including several NCI-sponsored cohort consortium projects. In this renewal application, we request continued support for this unique cohort study to evaluate a new set of hypotheses and confirm, with a larger sample size and improved exposure assessments, some of the promising associations identified during the current grant period. We will continue to analyze survey data to evaluate dietary and other lifestyle factors in relation to cancer risk with a specific focus on evaluating dietary protective factors, such as regular consumption of soyfood, tea, and ginseng. With additional follow-up of the SWHS, we will have, for the first time, adequate statistical power to investigate less common cancers, such as cancers of the ovary, corpus uteri, and pancreas, as well as subtypes of common cancers. Using a case-cohort study design, we propose to investigate urinary prostaglandin E2 metabolite (PGE-M), as well as telomere length and mitochondrial DNA copy number measured in peripheral white blood cells in relation to the risk of cancer, and further identify lifestyle determinants for urinary PGE-M and blood cell telomere length. Finally, we will evaluate the utility of validated genetic markers in assessing an individual's risk for breast cancer. The renewal of this cohort study will enable continued follow-up of this cohort for five more years and provide adequate numbers of cancer cases for investigating the hypotheses proposed in this application and for future studies. Because of its size, setting, and inventory of biological specimens and epidemiologic/clinical data, the SWHS provides an exceptional opportunity to address many significant hypotheses that cannot be adequately investigated in any other existing cohort studies. The results from this study will have significant implications for the primary and secondary prevention of common cancers in both Western and Asian women.

Football Outsiders examines the most pressing 2013 offseason needs for every team in the NFC North, including the Chicago Bears' need for a wide receiver outside Brandon Marshall.
Chicago Bears: Wide receiver and tight end
Remember when the Bears traded for Brandon Marshall? That was a fairly adept move by new Bears GM Phil Emery, because if Marshall hadn't been around last season, Jay Cutler might not have completed a pass. Marshall absorbed 192 targets, third-most in the league behind Calvin Johnson and Reggie Wayne, and he had to do this because the Bears had no other receivers who could beat man coverage. While part of that falls on the diminishing returns of the fifth year of the Devin Hester experiment at WR, as well as the general lack of receiving depth Chicago had while waiting for Alshon Jeffery to develop, another big factor was Emery's trade of Greg Olsen to the Carolina Panthers back in 2011. Without a reliable tight end to serve as an underneath threat, Cutler was forced to spend a lot more of last season scrambling while waiting for his targets to get open.
Kellen Davis had a truly magical season, dropping seven passes on just 44 targets, and finishing with a minus-26.6 percent DVOA rating that placed him 46th out of 49 qualifying tight ends. (DVOA is Football Outsiders' defense-adjusted value over average metric, explained here.) Secondary tight end Matt Spaeth, primarily a blocker, caught the ball about as well as you'd expect a blocking tight end to, accumulating a -34.6 percent DVOA on the 10 passes thrown his way. Due to a poor offensive line, the Bears often had no choice but to use both of their tight ends as blockers rather than waste their time trying to throw to them.
The Bears will have a decent amount of cap space, but assuming they won't chase an upper-echelon free-agent receiver like Dwayne Bowe or Mike Wallace, they don't figure to have a lot of enticing options to fill this hole on the market. With tight ends like Jared Cook and Dustin Keller possibly drawing franchise tags, the Bears could opt to try a relatively underused player like Texans fullback/tight end James Casey. Or they could simplify the whole process and draft Stanford's Zach Ertz with the 20th overall pick.

There is a well meaning but naive, and potentially very harmful, idea currently doing the rounds in youth justice circles. The idea is called the young offenders academy (YOA).
Ministers and shadow ministers alike are interested. The YOA would provide services on a campus that all young people exhibiting troubled behaviour in an area could benefit from. On the YOA campus there would be a pupil referral unit, facilities to deliver community sentences, training and employment opportunities, as well as a custodial facility for 75 children aged 10-17. A not-for-profit company called East Potential is behind the idea.
The promise of the YOA to politicians facing the failure of a decade or more of punitive youth justice policy is the age-old refrain of a "better" form of custody. That, and the dangerously simplistic assumption that education is somehow equivalent to rehabilitation. The last time we sought a "better" form of custody for children we came up with the secure training centres (STCs). These four privately-run institutions have an appalling record of sanctioned violence and two children have actually died within their walls.
A pilot YOA to serve nine London boroughs has been mooted, the idea in part being that this would allow young people to be jailed closer to their communities – rather than, as currently happens, flung in young offender institutions (YOIs) that are often many miles away from their homes and the professionals who will work with them on resettlement.
But if a YOA is built then capacity for jailing children increases. This means expanding the secure estate for children, without the overcrowding that plagues the adult estate to justify the expansion. To avoid this, it would be necessary to close places elsewhere. YOIs are too big to be closed and the STC contracts prevent the government from closing them as part of population management.
In reality, the only form of juvenile custody that would be threatened by a YOA are secure children's homes. These secure units are locally based and small, sometimes with no more than half a dozen children, a high staff-to-child ratio and a therapeutic environment. Despite these strengths, it is the secure care homes that are most at risk if YOAs get the go ahead. Compare their characteristics with those of the YOA as described in the latter's promotional literature, where the custodial unit would be "designed to meet the requirements of a YOI and a STC in terms of security, furnishing, space, safety, segregation and all other conditions", while being "multi-storey and with less generous space for sport and recreation". As East Potential has no experience of running a prison, it is likely that the management of the secure unit would be tendered to the same companies that run the notorious STCs.
Beyond simply the custodial element of a YOA, the campus will replicate services which should already be provided in the local area – for example, by children's services, Connexions, local colleges etc. The YOA study admitted that there "would be a need to allocate or divert some funding in respect of children, social services and education to such a model", which could mean taking funding away from mainstream services.
If that is not enough to put a local authority off, then consider this. All the evidence suggests that young people must be engaged by mainstream services in order to effectively reduce reoffending. This is because the vast majority of children who offend will be children in need, requiring the help and support provided by children's services. If money is being diverted to duplicate services in the community provided by the YOA, then this may be all well and good for as long as children go to one or other part of the campus facilities. But what happens when these children finally leave the long shadow of the campus buildings? What happens when they finally re-enter the community, to find that the mainstream services they need are being squeezed to fund the luxury of a YOA? The answer, I'm afraid, will not be a happy one.
