Narda, I am beginning to think that I dreamed the process as I have checked
every book that we have on propagation and cannot find the material. It is
really simple. I took shears and cut between the veins of the begonia
leaves. Each leaf will give you 6 to 8 cuttings. The cuttings are then
placed into little cells in ( I used pro mix and perlite about one-fourth
perlite) Put the pointed end or the one that joins the center vein into the
wet soil. Cover with a plastic dome. A few weeks later little plantlets
begin to appear. Roots also tend to go in all directions. I am now moving
them into four inch pots.
Actually the young plants can be bought for very little but it is sometimes
difficult to find the color I want so I only took cuttings from the special
colors that grow well.
Good luck

Manning Camp returns to Nicholls
THIBODAUX — The Manning Passing Academy will return to the campus of Nicholls State University for its seventh season, beginning Thursday and running through Sunday.
Returning with the MPA will be the 2012 Iberia Bank "Air-it-Out and Quarterback Challenge," presented by Wheaties, scheduled for a 6:30 p.m. start Saturday on Manning Field at John L. Guidry Stadium.
Former New Orleans Saints quarterback Archie Manning, along with current NFL signal callers and former Super Bowl Most Valuable Players, Peyton Manning and Eli Manning, are scheduled to participate in the Air-it-Out event.
Every year, top quarterbacks and wide receivers from both the college and professional ranks square off in an exhibition at the Air-it-Out event, highlighting the skills being taught at the camp.
Gates to John L. Guidry Stadium will open at 5:30 p.m., and fans are encouraged to arrive early.
"Air-it-Out" tickets are $8 if purchased in advance online at nichollstickets.com. Tickets are $10 if purchased at the gate on the day of the event. For additional information call 985-448-4790.
Proceeds will benefit the Nicholls Department of Athletics.
Last year, 36 collegiate and professional quarterbacks participated in the Air-It-Out Session. Two-time Heisman Trophy runner-up Andrew Luck of Stanford and Kellen Moore of Boise State were some of big names on hand for 2011's event.
In addition to the "Air-it-Out and Quarterback Challenge," the four-day summer camp that is held for high school football players attracts more than 1,000 of the nation's most promising quarterbacks and receivers each year.

Should You Refuse Your Annual Mammogram?Posted by: | Comments
October is heavily marketed as Breast Cancer Awareness Month to promote the value of screening and early detection. This concerted effort to make women aware of breast cancer has been promoted extensively by the mammography industry.
My advice to women, especially those eating a plant-based diet, is to forego your annual screening mammogram.
These mammograms are done on women who have no symptoms and no reason to suspect that anything is wrong. If you have found a lump or other specific symptom, then is the time to visit your doctor and schedule a diagnostic mammogram.
In his book, Over-Diagnosed, author Dr. H. Gilbert Welch writes, "based on all studies of screening mammography, there is only an estimated 15 percent reduction in the chance of dying from breast cancer." He continues, "For every one breast cancer death avoided by screening mammograms, somewhere between two and ten women are overdiagnosed." That overdiagnosis results in more lumpectomies, mastectomies, radiation and chemotherapy.
In 1999, when considerable doubt was raised in Denmark about the value of mammography screening, the Danish National Board of Health asked physician and scientist Peter C Gøtzsche from The Nordic Cochrane Centre to assess the mammography screening trials. The report later became extended as a Cochrane review, which is the most comprehensive review of the screening trials there is.
Because most mammography screening materials only list the benefits of screening, The Nordic Cochrane Centre wrote their own brochure, which has now been translated into 13 languages. It includes the following information:
- If 2000 women are screened regularly for 10 years, 10 healthy women will be turned into cancer patients and will be treated unnecessarily. These women will have either a part of their breast or the whole breast removed, and they will often receive radiotherapy, and sometimes chemotherapy.
- Treatment of these healthy women increases their risk of dying, e.g. from heart disease and cancer.
- Without screening, these women would have been OK.
- Studies from the United States, Sweden and Norway suggest that half or more of the screen-detected cancers would have disappeared spontaneously, if they had been left alone, without any treatment at all. Most of the earliest cell changes found at screening (carcinoma in situ) are also harmless, as they would never have progressed into invasive cancer.
- Some of those early cell changes (carcinoma in situ) are often found in several places in the breast. Therefore, the whole breast is removed in one out of four of these cases, although only a minority of the cell changes would have developed into cancer.
- The psychological strain until it is known whether or not there is a cancer, can be severe. In the United States it has been calculated that after 10 rounds of screening, 49% of healthy women will have experienced a false alarm.
- If 2000 women are screened regularly for 10 years, only one of them will be saved from dying of breast cancer. The absolute reduction in breast cancer mortality was therefore only 0.05%.
- Screening does not reduce the overall risk of dying, or the overall risk of dying from cancer (including breast cancer). It therefore seems that women who go to screening do not live longer than women who do not go to screening.
- When women are invited to mammography screening, the practice often is that, when they receive a letter about screening, they are also given an appointment time for the examination. This procedure puts pressure on women to attend. Because of this, their participation becomes less voluntary. In some countries, they are even phoned at home and encouraged to attend, which is also potentially coercive.
- Information on the Internet, e.g. on cancer charity web sites, often omits the most important harms. Or they are described as benefits. For example, screening is said to reduce the risk that a woman loses her breast. This is not true. Because of over-diagnosis and over-treatment, screening increases the risk of mastectomy.What
What have I done with the above information? I no longer accept those invitations for screening mammograms.

Lung CancerPosted by: | Comments
I recently attended the funeral of a long-time friend who died of lung cancer. The service was a beautiful memorial to her. When her daughter and then her 16-year-old granddaughter spoke about the love of their mother and grandmother, there wasn't a dry eye in that large church.
My 72-year-old friend had made a big impact on her community and her family, but she died much too soon.
Lung cancer is the number-one cancer killer in the U.S. Most lung cancer is a direct result of smoking, but my friend didn't smoke.
According to the American Cancer Society as many as 20% of the people who die from lung cancer in the United States don't smoke or use tobacco.
Lung cancer in smokers is the leading cause of cancer death, but lung cancer in nonsmokers still ranks among the top 10 fatal cancers in the U.S.
Radon gas is one of the leading causes of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Exposure to radon usually comes from living in a home built on soil with natural uranium deposits. The EPA has recommended that everyone get their home tested for this deadly gas.
Even though homes in most of Texas are considered to be low-risk, I have just purchased a top-rated (by Consumer Reports) radon detection test kit from Amazon for under $25.
Secondhand smoke is another cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. If you grew up in a home with smokers, you are at higher risk of lung cancer.
There is a higher incidence of respiratory diseases and lung cancer among short-order cooks who do a lot of frying. A study from UC-Davis found that bacon fumes cause about four times more DNA mutations than the fumes from beef patties fried at the same temperature.
Even eating deep-fried foods such as French fries, fried chicken, fried fish, doughnuts, and/or snack chips (Fritos, potato chips, tortilla chips) has been associated with a higher rate of lung (and pancreatic) cancers. Deep-frying calls for high temperatures, usually using vegetable oils like canola, corn and soybean oil, which are easily oxidized and can generate carcinogenic compounds.
How can nonsmokers reduce their risk of lung cancer?
According to the American Cancer Society, you should first test your home for radon.
Stay away from secondhand smoke.
Limit your exposure to air pollution (such as asbestos and diesel exhaust).
Eat a healthy diet with lots of fruits and vegetables which can be very helpful in preventing lethal lung diseases.
Give up stir-fried, deep-fried and grilled meats. Give up the consumption of cured meat like bacon, bologna, ham, hot dogs, sausage and salami, as they may increase the risk of lung disease due to the nitrite preservatives in the meat. It may mimic the lung-damaging properties of the nitrite by-products of cigarette smoke.
Ninety percent of lung cancer deaths are due to metastasis, which is the spread of the cancer to other parts of the body. In a 2010 study of human lung cancer cells in a petri dish, dripping some cruciferous-vegetable compounds onto the cancer cells resulted in the pulling together of the cells – which stunted the "cancer creep." This indicates it could be helpful to eat some cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower daily.
A diet with more whole plant foods may help both prevent and arrest the progression of lung cancer.
RIP my sweet friend.

You've Just Been Diagnosed with Colon CancerPosted by: | Comments
What a shock… such a horrible feeling… you're scared to death!
What do you do?
First off, don't panic. Your cancer has taken years to develop. Your doctor may tell you it is imperative to have surgery and to start chemo and/or radiation immediately, but you need time to sort things out. You can always get a second opinion about your diagnosis and treatment recommendations.
Begin to eat a healthy diet, as your immune system will need all the help it can get.
Do some research on your treatment options. Ask your doctor how many people out of 100 benefit from this treatment. Then ask what the benefit is. Will you live extra days or months if you survive the treatment?
Dr. Jeffrey Tobias has said that sometimes oncologists use chemotherapy with no justification other than the physician's desire to "do something," because there is a slim hope that it might work.
Colorectal cancer ranks among the most commonly diagnosed of all cancers and, if caught early, it is one of the most treatable. Even though it is the second-leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States, in some parts of the world, it's practically unheard of.
The highest rates of colorectal cancer have been recorded in Connecticut and the lowest rates in Uganda.
Women in the U.S. have ten times more colorectal cancer than women in India.
Why is there such a discrepancy?
The low cancer rate in India may be due in part to the spices they use in their daily cooking, like turmeric, but it may also be the foods they eat. India is one of the world's largest producers of fruits and vegetables. Most of the population eats legumes, such as beans, split peas, chickpeas and lentils, along with dark-green, leafy vegetables. Only about 7 percent of the adult population eats meat on a daily basis.
Constipation is the most common gastrointestinal complaint in the United States. In a study of twenty-three populations across a dozen countries, it was found that the incidence of colon cancer increased significantly as the average daily stool weight dropped. So the bigger and more frequent your bowel movements are, the better.
Constipation is considered to be a nutrient-deficiency disease, and that nutrient is fiber. Just like you get scurvy if you don't eat enough citrus fruit, you can get constipation if you don't get enough fiber. Fiber is found only in plant foods, so the more plants you eat, the less likely you are to be constipated. Foods such as beans, leafy vegetables and whole grains are all high in fiber.
The EPIC study of over half a million Europeans showed that eating more fiber reduced the risk of developing colon cancer. It also found that the more red and processed meat people ate, the more they increased their risk of colon cancer.
A six-year study of about thirty thousand Californians found that higher meat consumption was associated with higher risk of colon cancer. Unexpectedly, white meat appeared to be worse. Those who ate chicken or fish at least once a week had triple the risk of developing colon cancer than those who didn't eat meat. And those who ate red meat at least once each week had about double the risk of developing colon cancer.
A study of 48,000 men found a significant risk of colon cancer specifically linked to animal protein (meat and dairy) consumption. In other words, animal protein all by itself increased colon cancer in middle-aged American men.
A study out of Uruguay found a definite association between meat consumption and colon cancer. In this study, the participants ate meat from animals which were grass fed and hormone free, just like the Paleo people recommend, yet the cancer risk was still strong.
Even though you may have been eating meat and not enough fiber, this is a great time to change and to build up your immune system so that you can take on the challenges of this new fight – whether you decide on conventional treatments or no treatments.
I will leave you with this message from Dr. Bernie Siegel.
"The potential to be cured is always there through healing your life, rather than fighting a war. You should love your life and your body unconditionally, sending your body the unmistakable message that you want to LIVE."

Kidney CancerPosted by: | Comments
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC), or kidney cancer, is a disease in which kidney cells become malignant, grow out of control and form a tumor.
The kidneys' main job is to filter the blood to remove excess water, salt, and waste products from the body by producing urine.
Most people with kidney cancer are older. The average age of people diagnosed with kidney cancer is 64, and it is very uncommon in people younger than age 45.
There are no recommended screening tests for kidney cancer in people who are not at increased risk. This is because no test has been shown to lower the overall risk of dying from kidney cancer. Kidney cancers are often found by accident during imaging tests for some other illness such as gallbladder disease.
Early kidney cancers do not usually cause any signs or symptoms, but larger ones might. The American Cancer Society lists some possible signs and symptoms of kidney cancer:
Blood in the urine
Low back pain on one side (not caused by injury)
A lump on the side or lower back
Loss of appetite
Weight loss not caused by dieting
Fever that is not caused by an infection and that doesn't go away
Anemia (low red blood cell counts)
Well-established risk factors for kidney cancer include cigarette smoking, obesity, hypertension and high sodium intake. Evidence is also accumulating to implicate lack of physical activity, alcohol consumption, occupational exposure to trichloroethylene (TCE) used commercially as industrial degreasers, spot removers and in dry cleaning, and nitrosamines in meat products.
Nitrosamines are one of the most potent carcinogens in cigarette smoke. In fact, in the Cancer Prevention Research Journal, published online May 7, 2014, Dr. Stephen S. Hecht wrote, "Carcinogens of this strength in any other consumer product designed for human consumption would be banned immediately."
But, what else has nitrosamines? One hot dog has as many nitrosamines as five cigarettes according to an article in the 2001 edition of the Journal of Agriculture Food Chemistry. These carcinogens are also found in fresh meat, including beef, chicken and pork.
Even though fresh meat contains nitrosamines, processed meat contains even more. In fact, the American Institute for Cancer Research recommends that you simply "avoid processed meat such as ham, bacon, salami, hot dogs and sausages."
Results of dietary studies published in the British Journal of Cancer, (Jan 2013) state, "Our findings suggest that nitrite from animal sources may increase the risk of kidney cancer (RCC), particularly clear cell adenocarcinomas."
Cruciferous vegetable consumption like kale, arugula and collard greens has been related with a decreased risk of RCC according to a meta-analysis published in Nutrition and Cancer (2013).
Plant-based diets decrease the risk of kidney cancer (RCC) both directly and indirectly.

Pancreatic CancerPosted by: | Comments
You've been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
Never give up hope.
Even though fewer than 3% of pancreatic cancer patients survive for five years, you could be in that 3%.
Hopelessness only compounds your suffering. Many times, even with advanced cancer, there is sometimes recovery, called "spontaneous regression."
Dr. T. Colin Campbell described his experiments in the laboratory and concluded in studies of various cancers, including pancreatic cancer, that a consistent pattern emerged. Nutrients from animal-based foods increased tumor development while nutrients from plant-based foods decreased tumor development.
The only approved drugs for pancreatic cancer are gemcitabine and erlotinib and they help fewer than 10% of patients and cause severe side effects, according to Michael Greger, M.D.
One treatment that is in Phase I of drug trials (meaning that it is safe) is the spice curcumin. It is safe in quantities of up to 8 grams/day with no side effects.
In Phase II trials it actually helped reduce the size of the tumor in two of twenty patients with the advanced cancer.
A 2009 study published in the National Journal of Cancer concluded that dietary fat of animal origin was associated with an increased pancreatic cancer risk.
Another study published in the International Journal of Cancer in 2013 found that "poultry consumption tended to be associated with an increased pancreatic cancer risk." The white meat was found to be even worse than the dark meat, possibly because of the way it is often cooked – smoked, grilled, barbecued, fried, or baked.
A large population-based study in the San Francisco Bay Area published in the Nutrition and Cancer Journal found that a "Western dietary pattern, characterized by higher intake of red and processed meats, potato chips, sugary beverages, sweets, high fat dairy, eggs, and refined grains, was associated with a 2.4-fold increased risk of pancreatic cancer among men."
A study out of Italy published in the Annals of Epidemiology concluded, "A diet characterized by a high consumption of meat and other animal products, as well as of (refined) cereals and sugars, is positively associated with pancreatic cancer risk, whereas a diet rich in fruit and vegetables is inversely associated."
In a study of Seventh Day Adventists published in the journal Cancer it was found that those who ate veggie burgers, lentils and dried fruit rather than meat, poultry or fish, 3 or more times a week had a 40% lower risk of pancreatic cancer.
A study of 30,000 poultry workers published in October 2011 found that those workers who had an occupational exposure to poultry had a 9% higher rate of death from liver cancer and pancreatic cancer. Twenty-year smokers double their risk of pancreatic cancer, but poultry workers had 9 times the odds of pancreatic cancer.
Factors that cause cancer are also believed to encourage its growth. By changing from the rich Western diet that promotes cancer to a diet that supports good health, further growth of cancer could be slowed and a patient's life could be prolonged.
Cancer does not suddenly appear. It grows at a steady rate. Early growth is invisible because the cancer is microscopic in size. The cancer remains undetectable for about 6 years until it reaches a size of 1 mm (period-size). After 10 years of growth, the tumor is 1 cm in diameter (eraser-size) and contains one billion cells. Most cancer is undetectable by the patient and his physician for the first two-thirds of its natural history.
Most animal studies show that fats and oils promote the growth of tumors and that animals receiving diets higher in cholesterol show more frequent tumors and metastases. A cholesterol-free, fat-free diet retards the growth of tumors in animals and prolongs their survival time. There is a dose relationship here also: the lower the fat in the animals' diets the slower the growth of the cancer (J Natl Ca Inst 87:1456, 1993).
Even though it is much easier to prevent cancer than to reverse it, you can still help your immune system fight like crazy. That can buy you some time – maybe just a few more weeks of feeling good to a complete reversal.
Eat starches, like beans, corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and rice with some green and yellow vegetables and fruits. No vegetable oils. No supplements. Drink 3 cups of green tea a day and take up to 8 gm of curcumin supplements.
Best of luck as you help your immune system fight off this disease.
Keep Your Children Slim and TrimPosted by: | Comments
Children getting sick is something no one wants to see. We know that there are starving children living in poverty all over the world and they need to be given assistance and food.
But I want to talk to you about your children or grandchildren.
In this country where people are "overfed" we have too many children who are overweight. Anyone with a Body Mass Index (BMI) over 24 is considered overweight.
Overweight children and teens are likely to be obese adults and, unfortunately, they are more prone to develop a serious disease. High cholesterol levels (caused by fat in the blood) in children can be a predictor of glucose intolerance and diabetes. In large populations of children with total cholesterol levels above 170 there are far more incidences of brain tumors and leukemias than are found in populations of adolescents with cholesterol levels below 100.
Young people who are obese are more likely to have elevated blood pressure, sleep apnea and a variety of bone problems.
Helping your children stay slim is so very important, but it has to start with you.
If you would like help in getting your whole family on the slim and trim health track, check out the "90-Days to a Slimmer, Healthier You!" coaching program.

A Test to Predict Cancer?Posted by: | Comments
Do you think it's possible to predict your chance of getting cancer by a blood test, or is that just science fiction?
Many studies have found a correlation between obesity and cancer. Additional studies have found a correlation between high IGF-1 levels and cancer. Other studies have reported positive correlations between total body fat and IGF-1 concentrations.
Current recommendations from the World Cancer Research Fund suggest that the median adult BMI (Body Mass Index) should be maintained between 21 and 23. The chart below gives average BMI scores for people eating certain diets.
|Raw vegans
In rodents, long-term severe caloric restriction (CR) reduced BMI and IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor) levels. But in research comparing human vegans and long-term endurance runners (ran an average of 48 miles/wk) they found that only the vegans had significantly lower levels of IGF-1.
In other words, just getting slim through exercise without reducing your IGF-1 level could leave you open to higher cancer risks.
IGF-1 PLASMA LEVELS (ng/mL)
|Long-distance Runners
|Meat Eaters
To find out your IGF-1 score, you can take a blood test for $129. Scores are not "cut and dried" like they are on the BMI chart for adults. The chart below will give you normal ranges for different age groups. To protect yourself from cancer, you will want to be sure your IGF-1 is toward the low end for your age group in the chart below.
"Cancer Incidence and Mortality in Relation to Body Mass Index (BMI) in the Million Women Study: Cohort Study"

Are We Responsible for Getting Sick?Posted by: | Comments
When people hear of the diet I eat many of them comment, "Why would you give up all the "good" things to eat just to have more years of old-age misery?"
How many people do you know who are in their 90s and are still energetic and fully engaged in life? We probably all know a few.
By contrast, how many people do you know who are in their 70s and 80s (if they have lived that long) and are sick? They may have osteoporosis, heart disease, dementia, diabetes or cancer. Some are even bedridden after having a stroke. I think we all know plenty of people in this group.
I'm hedging my bets and planning to get to my 90s in good health.
It seems that the word of the day in my community is "responsibility." When we hear that a family is having a hard time and going on welfare or can't afford health care, the loudest voices accuse them of not taking "responsibility" for themselves or their families.
I hear people say, "That group works well with the homeless because they hold them accountable for getting back to an independent life," or, "People having babies out-of-wedlock, just aren't responsible."
In other words, most of us think that other people just need to be more "responsible." I wonder why that word doesn't apply to the way we take care of our bodies?
What if we used that word on our own lives? Is it responsible of us to eat foods that make us too heavy (a BMI of 25+)? Is it responsible of us to eat foods that can cause diseases like osteoporosis, dementia, heart disease, diabetes, cancer or stroke? Is it responsible of us to continue to smoke because it makes us happy? Is it responsible of us to continue to eat animal products because we like them?
I've heard the rationale that if you can afford to drive a gas-guzzler or if you can afford to smoke cigars and drink brandy or if you can afford to eat meat at every meal, that's your right.
I realize that those individual freedoms are important to many of us. After all, it is your body to do with as you wish. But, other people are definitely impacted. Your spouse or your children may have to step into a caregiver role. You may not be able to afford all of the medical care needed, so the taxpayers have to step in. Because health insurance companies have to pay for more care, they will raise the premium rates for other people.
If you think you are just hurting yourself with your lifestyle choices, think again. What about the husband of the wife diagnosed with cancer? He suffers emotionally almost as much as the patient. What about the kids of the man who suddenly dies of a heart attack? Or the parents of a 50-year-old who has diabetes and has to have his foot amputated?
We take responsibility for keeping our belongings clean and neat. We take responsibility for teaching our children about morals and ethics. We take responsibility for making sure our children go to the best schools and get the best education.
But, are we responsible for making sure our children are always happy and get whatever they want? I doubt if any parent or grandparent would agree to that.
Should we let our kids stay up late at night so they are too tired to pay attention in school so we just hire them a tutor?
Should we let them get tired so their immune systems break down and then we just pay a doctor to give them an antibiotic to get them well?
Do we think we can feed them junk food and then have them pop a few vitamins to keep them healthy?
Do we think we can reward our children with candy and sugary drinks and then just pay a dentist to fix their teeth?
Do we let them eat hamburgers and macaroni and cheese and have ice cream for dessert because that keeps them happy? What do we do when they get fat and are teased and taunted by their classmates?
Being responsible seems to be a matter of degree and personal bias.
If we eat meat and cheese at every meal, but then we bike and run like George W. Bush, shouldn't that keep us from having a heart stent?
Having responsibility for our own health and that of our children seems to be one of the most important "responsibilities" we can carry out.
What about responsibility for our planet? Is it enough to recycle our cans? Is it enough to keep our thermostat on 78 in the summer? Is it enough to wash clothes with cold water?
One of the most helpful (and responsible) things we can do to help our environment is to stop eating meat. Did you know that raising animals for food uses more water, more land and creates more methane gas than anything else?
Are we responsible for the way animals are treated to provide us with food? We think of those "animals" like we do "slaves" or "muslims." They are "different" from us. We don't "know" them. If we think of those animals and fish in this way, we don't have to worry about our responsibility for taking care of them.
I've got a great idea. Let's start taking responsibility for the health of our bodies and for the health of our planet!

The Cattle Baron's GalaPosted by: | Comments
The menu at this week-end's Cattle Baron's Gala featured smoked brisket, baby back ribs, chicken fajitas, grilled steaks, fried chicken strips, jumbo shrimp filled with cheddar cheese and crisp bacon. An avocado bar loaded with toppings including sour cream, chicken and chile con queso (cheese sauce) was available. There were also sliced sweet potatoes deep-fried and served with garlic mayonnaise and thick-sliced green tomatoes deep-fried until golden brown.
It seems that most of us are hard wired with a "helping" gene. We love to think that we are doing good things for other people and this week-end's event showcased the effort of over 100 volunteers. They worked hard for a year to make sure the 1,800 guests had a great time because it was for a "good" cause. The hefty proceeds benefitted the American Cancer Society.
Unfortunately, after doing the research for my 2010 book, Diet and Cancer: Is There a Connection, I no longer hold the ACS in such high regard. Experimental research and even population studies have shown that a low-fat, whole food, plant-based diet can prevent 95 percent of all cancers, including those "caused" by environmental toxins.(1) Yet the American Cancer Society promotes surgical, pharmaceutical and radiological approaches to cancer treatment and prevention because it's main source of funding comes from the pharmaceutical and medical industries.
The ACS also receives funds from the food industry so they do not take a hard stand on well-studied nutritional recommendations. When they tell people to limit certain foods rather than avoid them, that's the equivalent of telling junkies to "limit your intake of cocaine." It is not a serious warning and doesn't make an impact on anyone. Nor does the American Cancer Society mention avoiding or reducing consumption of dairy products including milk and cheese in its recommendations.
If we know that a whole-foods, low fat, plant-based diet can prevent (and even reverse) many cancers, why doesn't the Cattle Baron's Gala serve foods based on that science?
Instead of spending so much time and money promoting what author Samuel Epstein has called "the world's wealthiest non-profit," wouldn't we want to use our helping genes in a much healthier way by learning how to feed our families a healthy, whole-foods, low fat, plant-based diet? For more information read Diet and Cancer: Is There a Connection or The China Study. Both books are available on Amazon.

Is There Any Hope?Posted by: | Comments
If you've been diagnosed with a late stage cancer or if you have already completed all the surgery, chemo and radiation that you can endure, what's next? Do you just sit in your rocking chair full of anxiety and fear and wait to die?
No, of course not! You start looking for ways to heal your body and strengthen your immune system. You might even want to look at going to a healing spa such as the Gerson Institute or the Living Foods Institute.
If that's not an option, you can plan your own "do-it-yourself" spa experience.
1.) Meet with a pallative care specialist to help you with any pain, emotional, practical or spiritual issues.
2.) Get out in the sunshine for at least 10 minutes every day.
3.) Take a walk, do yoga or move in any way you can.
4.) Stay involved with life. Invite friends over for a bowl of soup or to go shopping with you.
5.) Change the Way You Eat –
- Eliminate all animal products from your diet. That includes meat, fish, chicken, eggs, milk and cheese.
- Eat as many greens as you can.
- Always eat "whole" foods – whole wheat pastas, whole wheat breads, sprouted wheat, organic rolled oats, etc.
- Eat deep, colorful vegetables.
- Eat organic as much as possible.
- Eat at least half of your food raw (uncooked).
- Eliminate all alcohol.
- Eliminate processed junk foods.
- Put a teaspoon of ground flaxseed on your food every day. Keep it in the freezer so it won't get rancid.
- Drink water or unsweetened decaffeinated green tea for your beverage. Don't drink sweet beverages or beverages with caffeine.
- Do not eat oils, including olive oil.
- Don't eat in restaurants very often because you cannot control the ingredients they use.
- Juice or blend vegetables or fruits for snacks or supplementation.
You will know if you are making progress within a few weeks if your appetite returns, your pain diminishes, your sleep improves and/or your tumor recedes or vanishes.
Don't be discouraged if you have a down day with low energy. Just stay on course as the healing process has its ups and downs.

Hi, Clyde. Could you tell those of us who are less informed about Pixlist?
Specifically, does it utilize snail mail as well as e-mail?
It is very uncomplicated. Pix are scanned and sent to a list of e-mail
addresses. Each person on the list, or anyone for that matter who has the
list, can send scanned images to the addresses. The format is jpeg., usually.
Many on the list have problems viewing pix that are sent in other formats.
The pix are sent through e-mail;but, I am sure that if you wanted a copy of a
print that someone has sent, he/she would be happy to send it to you snail
Once you have viewed an image, you could save it to a file or delete it.
Those on the list are under NO obligation to send images. If one does not have
a scanner, one could send a print, say, to me and I will scan it and send it
to the list.
Indeed, there are only about ten or so of us who regularly send images. The
list is up to 80+, or thereabouts.
It is a great way to see pictures of new hostas, shade plants, companion

Art in Sydney on now
Art exhibitions to see in Sydney
Your guide to contemporary, fine and Indigenous art in Sydney
The best places to see art in Sydney
Sydney is busting at the seams with great art – from major institutions like the Art Gallery of NSW and the Museum of Contemporary Art, to incredible privately-owned but publically accessible (and free!) galleries like White Rabbit and Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation, and right down to a thriving scene of independent and artist-run initiatives. Below are some of our favourites.
Upcoming events and exhibitions
The Dark Matters
After two blistering, provocative shows in 2016 (Heavy Artillery and Vile Bodies) White Rabbit Gallery are going zen for their next show: The Dark Matters explores how contemporary Chinese artists are working with (and in some cases against) tradition. At the same time, the exhibition will embrace certain aspects of the past, including the black-and-white colour code of traditional ink paintings. The Dark Matters will present work by 34 artists, including Lin Yan, Feng Mengbo, Jiang Pengyi, Lin Tianmiao, Tang Nannan, Li Xiaofei and Yang Mushi. A centrepiece of the exhibition will be a large paper installation by New York-based artist Lin Yan, who will visit Sydney to install the work.

News and interviews
A giant sparkling clitoris is making a splash in Sydney this summer
Did you know that clitorises range from 7-12 cm in length and swell by 50 to 300 per cent when engorged? Yup: that little bauble you've been told about is actually just the tip of the clit-berg; most of the clitoris is below the surface and invisible, wrapping around the vaginal tunnel and extending out towards the thighs. (Which makes stand-up bits about 'finding the clitoris' embarrassing in a whole new way). Don't believe us? Check out the giant bedazzled clitoris ensconced in Redfern's Bearded Tit bar. Created by artist Alli Sebastian Wolf, the 'Glitoris' is a 100:1 scale model of the female sex organ, covered in sequins. AKA: the most fabulous anatomy lesson you can have. Wolf, who describes the clitoris (the actual one) as "a glorious spaceship-looking creature with 8000 nerves that can swell to three times its size in moments", created the 'Glitoris' partly as a feminist performance piece. The Glit will be at the Bearded Tit until February 25 as part of their exhibition Bush Magic, and will also be shimmying its way onto the d-floor at the following parties, with three human pals (the 'Cliterati') in attendance: • Heaps Gay Street Party on Sat Feb 11 in Marrickville • Mardi Gras Heaps Gay on Sat Mar 4 at The Factory Theatre • The Oyster Club Glamdrogynous Freakshow on Thu Mar 9 at Knox St Bar. In all its glory: the 'Glitoris'Photograph: Alli Sebastian Wolf Here are four more facts about the clit, courtesy of Alli, that'll make your day: 1. It is th
52 Weeks of #SydCulture: Week 4
Welcome to the third guest blog post of Time Out Sydney's 52 Weeks of #SydCulture 2017 challenge! Every Tuesday of January, curator and City of Sydney councillor Jess Scully is telling us what she loved the week before. Think of it as your recommendations for this week, from someone who sees a helluva lot of arts and culture. Over to Jess. Did you march on Saturday? Don't feel too bad if you didn't. Certified feminist friends were absent and asked, what exactly were you marching for? Reminding the world that women exist? "We're here, we're…50 per cent of the population?" It's a statement of the bleeding obvious, but unfortunately, one that still needs to be made. The Women's March started a day in which I contemplated the absurdity of oppression (and I wonder why I'm single); or rather, a day of experiencing some of the humour, sensitivity and skill that artists use to break oppression apart. After marching with thousands of strong women, I rode down to Firstdraft to see Walan Yinaagirbang ('Strong Women' in Wiradjuri) an exhibition of work by eight female Indigenous artists brought together by curator Emily McDaniel.

Wednesday nights = Culture Up Late
Arts Minister Troy Grant's previously-announced Wednesday-night program Culture Up Late launches tonight – Wednesday January 11 – with a program of events taking place at the Art Gallery of NSW, the Australian Museum, Carriageworks, the Powerhouse Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Art, the State Library of NSW, and Sydney Opera House. Every Wednesday through January and February you'll be able to head to these venues after work for access to exhibitions and a range of special programs and offers. Art Gallery of NSW will continue its existing Wednesday-night late-night program, Art After Hours (they're also running the Nude at Night program on Thursday and Friday nights in January). The MCA, meanwhile, have moved their weekly Lights on Later series from Thursdays to Wednesdays. The Australian Museum will offer 2-for-1 entry on Wednesday nights, giving you access to their regular exhibits and current exhibitions (including Spiders: Alive and Deadly) as well as the chance to experience Lynette Wallworth's immersive virtual reality work Collisions, which takes you to remote central Australia and invites you into the landscape and memories of Martu elder Nyarri Nyarri Morgan. Collisions is only viewable to the public on Wednesday nights, as part of the Culture Up Late program. Head to the Powerhouse Museum in Ultimo for after-hours access to their current exhibition Egyptian Mummies; and to its sister venue Sydney Observatory for twilight tours and night-time star gazing.

Carriageworks reveal their 2017 program
Carriageworks has revealed its 2017 program of art, performance and music – including hyped shows from interstate and overseas, world premieres, and the return of favourite events including the queer performance/dance party Day For Night, Indigenous musical festival Klub Koori, and a new series of Night Markets. Perhaps the most exciting component – announced earlier this year – is the inaugural edition of The National, a new biennial of contemporary Australian art focusing on site-specific commissions, and running across Carriageworks, the MCA and Art Gallery of New South Wales. The Carriageworks edition, curated by director Lisa Havilah and visual arts head Nina Miall, will run March 30-June 18, and include work by Archie Moore, Justene Williams and Richard Lewer, among others.

Alliance Française French Film Festival
Did you ever wonder why France's film culture is so rich and varied and full of big-name stars? Simple: for every cinema ticket sold in France, whether for a local film or a Hollywood blockbuster, the state gets money to invest into French films. The latest fruits of this vibrant industry screen in March, spanning comedy, biopic, drama, war stories, animation and romance. They include new movies from the Dardenne Brothers, Anne Fontaine and Bertrand Tavernier, featuring stars such as Isabelle Huppert, Daniel Auteuil, Omar Sy, Audrey Tautou and many, many more. Gender equality is especially strong in the French movie world, with 17 new movies from women directors. And here's another drawcard: the festival is running a competition this year with prizes for attendees of a trip for two to France and a trip for two to New Caledonia. Here are Time Out's 12 picks of movies to look out for. The Alliance Française French Film Festival is set to take place at Palace Norton Street, Palace Verona, Chauvel Cinema and Hayden Orpheum Picture Palace.

Blessed with an angelic five-octave vocal range, she scored her greatest commercial success with the chart-topping pop ballad "Lovin' You." Riperton was born in Chicago on November 8, 1947; as a youth she studied music, drama, and dance at the city's Abraham Lincoln Center and later contemplated a career in opera.

Lobbying from a powerful coalition of business and women's groups has seen the Government freeze any attempts to make immediate changes to gender reporting rules.
The group, which unofficially calls itself the 'Coalition of the Willing' and met in Canberra last week to push the matter, has welcomed the news the government will leave reporting requirements as outlined in the Workplace Gender Equality Act untouched, meaning organisations with more than 100 employees will still be required to report against gender equality indicators including the recruitment, retention and promotion of women.
The group's lobbying efforts, combined with a backlash from other prominent figures including ANZ chief executive Mike Smith, has seen Senator Eric Abetz rule out any talk of potential change, at this point.
In a joint statement from Senator Abetz and Senator Michaelia Cash, the Government said existing reporting requirements in operation today for employers with more than 100 employees would remain unchanged, and that a new "minimum standard" would be introduced for businesses with more than 500 employees.
Women on Boards' Claire Braund, who has acted as a spokesperson for much of the lobbying effort, has welcomed the news.
"This is recognition that increasing women's workforce participation from a global low of 58.4% and narrowing the 17% pay gap between men and women goes to the very heart of increasing business productivity and growth," she said.
"Central to this is collecting and public reporting of meaningful gendered workforce data at organisational and industry level."
"Only then will we have the information to enable us to work collaboratively with business and government on the core issues of improving women's workforce participation and closing the gender pay gap."
The united coalition against the proposed changes included the Financial Services Institute of Australia, Local Government Mangers Diversity council of Australia, National Foundation of Australian Women, National Council of Women of Australia and BPW (Business and Professional Women).

Missile Defense:
THAAD Restructure Addresses Problems But Limits Early Capability
NSIAD-99-142: Published: Jun 30, 1999. Publicly Released: Jul 28, 1999.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-3519
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the status of the Theater High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) program, focusing on: (1) the underlying problems in the program that led to test failures; (2) whether program restructuring efforts address these underlying problems; and (3) how this restructuring will affect THAAD's User Operational Evaluation System.
GAO noted that: (1) the program's compressed flight-test schedule did not allow for adequate ground testing; (2) the requirement to be able to quickly deploy an early prototype system diverted the contractor and government project management's attention away from the normal interceptor development process and resulted in interceptors that were not equipped with sufficient instruments to provide optimum test data; (3) quality assurance received insufficient emphasis and resources during the time of component production; (4) the contract for developing the interceptor was a cost-plus-fixed-fee contract, a contract type that placed all of the program's financial risk on the government and did not include provisions that could be used to hold the contractor accountable for less than optimum performance; (5) flight-test failures have been caused primarily by manufacturing defects rather than problems with advanced technology; (6) these failures have prevented the Army from demonstrating that it can reliably employ the hit-to-kill technology critical to THAAD's success; (7) the restructured program addresses each of the program's four underlying problems: (a) it lengthens the flight-test schedule and increases ground testing; (b) removes the requirement for the deployable, early prototype interceptors; (c) increases the contractor's quality emphasis, including its commitment, leadership, and quality assurance staffing; and (d) modifies the cost-plus-fixed-fee contract to provide performance-based incentives and penalties and introduces a degree of competition into the program; (8) despite these changes, the reliability of the remaining flight-test interceptors remains a concern because most components were produced when the contractor's quality assurance system was inadequate; (9) the program restructuring puts into question the need to retain a fully staffed User Operational Evaluation System battalion; (10) the battalion will have little or no capability to intercept ballistic missiles because interceptors will not be available for the prototype system unless interceptors intended for tests are diverted to the battalion; and (11) according to the Army Training and Doctrine Command's system manager for THAAD, the THAAD radar could be used for predicting the launch and impact points of enemy missiles, but no requirement exists for THAAD to perform that mission and no independent assessment of the prototype radar's capabilities is planned.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In June 1999, GAO reported that the restructured Theater High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) program does not include prototype interceptors intended for deployment in a national emergency. GAO also reported that this raises the issue of what the purpose of the 295-man THAAD UOES battery at Fort Bliss, Texas should now be. Following the report, the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization and the Army reassessed the potential capabilities of the THAAD UOES. According to DOD, that assessment led to the decision not to pursue THAAD UOES contingency capabilities. Because one of the residual THAAD UOES radars was now available for alternative use, it was provided to the National Missile Defense program so that its components could be used as spares for the National Missile Defense (NMD) program's prototype ground based radar. The NMD program office estimates that the cost avoidance associated with this use of the THAAD UOES radar $28.5 million in fiscal year 2001 and $2.7 million each year for fiscal years 2002 through 2007. Therefore, GAO is claiming a monetary accomplishment of $32.539 million based on the present value calculation.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Defense should determine and define which, if any, potential capabilities of the restructured THAAD User Operational Evaluation System are needed by the warfighter community. If warranted by that determination, the Secretary should: (1) direct that an independent operational assessment of the needed THAAD User Operational Evaluation System capabilities be conducted; and (2) require the Army to determine the minimum essential military personnel and equipment required to fulfill the defined mission.

Meteos Clone - Simple Puzzle Game

Project Budget$500 - $1500 USD

Project Description
I want a clone of the Nintendo DS puzzle game - Meteos. I want it to play on the Computer with a mouse instead of a stylus like on the DS. I would like the pieces to be rendered in 3D rather than with sprites, but the gameplay will still be 2D. But if you would prefer to use sprites then that would be ok. I DO NOT want it to be flash based though. Here is a flash demo of the game: [url removed, login to view] Here is an explanation of the game: [url removed, login to view] Graphics and music will be designed by me, but the coder will need to integrate them. Using a 3D rendering engine like OGRE and a physics engine like NewtonSDK is completely acceptible, just as long as it allows for commercial purposes. I want the program to be Mac & PC compatible if possible. Also I want there to be network play. If you have any other questions, just send me a message. Thanks for looking!

Lemon Cheese Pie
|For pastry
|All-purpose flour
|1 Cup (16 tbs) (For Rolling)
|Chilled unsalted butter
|4 Tablespoon, cut into cubes
|Solid vegetable shortening
|4 1⁄2 Tablespoon, chilled (1/4 Cup Plus 1/2 Tablespoon)
|Ice water
|3 Tablespoon
|For filling
|4 Large
|1 1⁄2 Cup (24 tbs)
|White cornmeal
|1 Tablespoon
|All purpose flour
|1 Tablespoon
|1⁄2 Teaspoon
|Unsalted butter
|5 Tablespoon, melted
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
|Fresh lemon juice
|1⁄3 Cup (5.33 tbs)
|1 , zest grated finely
|Pure vanilla extract
|1 Teaspoon
1. make the pastry: In afood processor, pulse the flour with the sugar and salt until combined. Add the butter and shortening and pulse just until the butter is the size of small peas. Sprinkle the ice water over the mixture and pulse 4 or 5 times, until the pastry just comes together. Turn the pastry out onto a floured work surface and pat it into a disk. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 350° On a floured work surface, roll out the pastry to a 14-inch round. Carefully roll the pastry around the rolling pin and unroll it over a 9-inch pie plate; ease the pastry into the plate without stretching or tearing. Trim the overhanging dough to 1/2 inch and tuck it under itself; crimp the edge decora-tively. Freeze the pie shell just until chilled, about 5 minutes.
3. Line the pastry with parchment paper and pie weights or dried beans and bake for about 20 minutes, until nearly set. Remove the parchment paper and weights and bake the pie shell for 5 minutes longer, until set but not colored.
4. meanwhile, make the filling: In a bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar. Add all of the remaining ingredients one at a time and in order, whisking until smooth.
5. Pour the filling into the warm pie shell. Bake for about 30 minutes, until the custard is golden and nearly set but still quite jiggly; cover the edge of the pie shell with foil halfway through baking. Transfer the Lemon Chess Pie to a rack to cool completely before serving.

The Administrative Core will provide centralized administrative leadership to the Program Project to ensure successful coordination among and financial management of the projects and cores. An overarching goal of this Core is to create an environment that supports research progress by defining and managing timelines and work priorities and alleviating the burden of administrative tasks for the project investigators. This Core;has two inter-related Specific Aims: to establish opfimal coordination among the individual projects and the;Data Outreach and Promotion Core (B) and to ensure smooth financial coordination of all projects and cores These aims will be achieved by five sets of activities: 1) establishing regular, effective formal and informal communication, including regular face-to-face and video/teleconference calls;2) establishing and ongoing management of a shared work plan across projects and cores that identifies critical project timelines, milestones, and responsibilities;3) establishing and ensuring smooth management of sub-contractual arrangements between University of Michigan and the institutions of the Program Project investigators;4) effectively monitoring the budgets and expenditures within the projects and cores that comprise this POI and communicating financial information and ensuring fair and efficient resource allocation;and 5) coordinating , reporting across institutions so that we can provide timely progress reports to NIA on the status of the POI as a whole, its projects, and cores. The activities of this POI will be housed within the PSID administrative structure, which has developed over more than 40 years to promote interdisciplinary and collaborative data collection and research through federal sponsorship. The PSID itself is housed within the Survey Research Center (SRC) at the Institute for Social Research (ISR), a national and international leader in interdisciplinary social science research involving the collection and analysis of federally-sponsored data from scientific sample surveys.
;By providing centralized administrative leadership to ensure coordination among and financial management of the projects and cores, this Administrative Core will help to maximize the synergies across projects and cores and therefore scientific impact of the proposed program of research on aging, life course and intergenerational aspects of health, wealth, and wellbeing.

New "Bachelor" Sean Lowe has kicked off the season by handing out roses, well, kind of willy-nilly all night long during the premiere. He tells Life & Style that his enjoyment of the experience was not something that stopped after the first night — nor did his flouting of the rules.
"I really laid my heart out there," says Lowe. "I want to find the love of my life. I owed it to myself to give it a try."
He calls the 26 contestants "smart, well-accomplished, funny" and says that he became convinced his wife was among the group.
"As the season progresses, I get to a point where I think, 'Wow, I've got so many wonderful women, I don't know what I'm going to do.' There were certain points in the season wher I couldn't follow the rules. I had to follow my heart."
"I really wanted to find my best friend, someone I can really see
myself spending every day with and just enjoying being with her and
being her partner for life," concludes Lowe.

When players take a tumble or dive at Gatsplat, they're cushioned by the same stuff that protects NFL players from harm. Both of Gatsplat's indoor paintball fields are padded by NFL-quality Astroturf, but these are not the only safety measures the staff puts in place. Professional referees keep watch over games, as opposed to off-duty clowns looking to score some free face paint. Players are also divided by experience level; lighter-weight 50-caliber markers are used so kids as young as six can play.
The 26,000-square-foot climate-controlled facility also has a comfortable viewing area with wide windows for non-players to keep an eye on the action. Free wireless internet access and a wide-screen television keep them occupied, and between games, players and non-players can discuss strategy or compare paint splatters as they snack at picnic tables.

Databases Ripe for Attacks
One reason the Slammer worm was able to wreak so much havoc is database administrators are loathe to install patches that haven't been thoroughly tested.The SQL Slammer worm played a major role in a recently reported spike in security incidents during the first three months of 2003. The report, put out by security firm Internet Security Systems Inc., found a 37 percent jump in reported security incidents and confirmed attacks from the fourth quarter of 2002 to the first quarter of 2003. Pete Allor, manager of the companys ISS X-Force Threat Intelligence Services, said that Slammerwhich in late January preyed upon servers running Microsoft Corp.s SQL Server 2000 databasewas a "huge part" of the substantial increase in security reports. Allor said that in just the two-day period when Slammer had its biggest impact, his group observed over 2 million related security events. To put that into perspective, over the past three months, the group observed some 160 million security events.
Those numbers could point to a few things, Allor said: more hacker activities focused on probing databases and not enough alacrity on the part of DBAs (database administrators) when it comes to installing patches.
