10 Things 2013 Taught Us About Breast Cancer Prevention and Treatment
2013 became a year full of breakthrough studies concerning the prevention and treatment of breast cancer. Some drugs on which hope had been placed failed to live up to expectations while strange new natural treatments were discovered. October is Breast Cancer month and the world is anticipating even more breakthroughs.
There are many women currently will develop breast cancer in their lifetime, with over 40,000 US deaths annually due to the disease. Over 70% do not have identifiable risk factors for the disease, while genetics plays the major role for the rest. Both sides of the family carry equal weight in deciding to what extent one is at risk, increasing majorly if both sides in the immediate family have developed breast cancer.
A newly published study explains how breast cancer cells spread.
As one gets older, the risk also increases from 1 in 233 while in the 30s to 1 in 8 when a woman has reached her 80s. The type of bra, breast size or whether there have been implants do not affect the risk. The American Cancer Society recommends a mammogram screening for women over the age of 40 every 1 to 2 years and constant self-examinations in the meantime. Most women have no idea about their breast cancer risks, specifically based on their family history and lifestyle habits.
The last 9 months have yielded some rather interesting results.
1. An hour of walking per day can reduce risk of breast cancer by 14%: One of the latest studies has discovered that walking in itself is a great risk prevention option for both men and women, especially the latter in the post-menopausal stage.
2. The lately anticipated Lily Drug, believed to be an innovation in fighting breast cancer, has been found to not deliver the results anticipated. It will not go to FDA for approval.
3. Those at highest risk of dying from breast cancer are young women: Many youngsters forgo mammograms and regular breast exams, believing themselves too young to develop the cancer. Unfortunately, this means that much of the cancer goes untreated for too long, effectively snuffing out young lives under the age of 50. Half of all breast cancer deaths occur in women up to this age, particularly between 40 and 50.
4. Shark blood found to attack HER breast cancer producing mutated protein cells through their IgNAR antibodies: Who would have thought that an early treatment for breast cancer could be found not in cartilage but the actual blood properties of sharks. It's a curious thought whether human blood could be just as important in curing some diseases sharks may have.
5. Peanut butter was found to decreases chances of developing breast cancer in young females: Another study published of late has found that young women who have been snacking on peanut butter for years now have much lower chances of developing benign breast disease by 39% which can lead to breast cancer.
6. The doctors have spoken and vegetable fats have been deemed important: According to Dr. Michael Roizen and Dr. Mehmet Oz, skipping the animal fats and carbohydrates and turning to vegetables oils can have a major impact on preventing breast cancer.
7. CCBs for high blood pressure have been linked to increasing risk of breast cancer: Perhaps it is a good time to change the blood pressure pills you take if they are calcium channel blockers, effectively slashing at the increase of risk it entails. Don't stop taking pills, but talk to your doctor about switching to a safer version.
8. On June 15, an osteoporosis drug was presented as a treatment for breast cancer: Bazedoxifene not only prevents estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cell growth, but also flags the estrogen receptor for destruction.
9. Apigenin found in Mediterranean foods has been found to tackle breast cancer cell growth: According to a study earlier in the year, parsley, celery, peppermint, thyme, chamomile tea and even iceberg lettuce were found to prevent breast cancer cells from halting their own destruction. Essentially it stops cells from stopping something from killing them, effectively ensuring their death.
10. Dairy foods have been found to raise risk of early death in breast cancer survivors: Low-fat dairy is perfectly fine and even recommended, but when it comes to high-fat consumption, breast cancer patients need to beware. It is no fun for sure, especially for fatty milk and cheese lovers, but if these men and women wish to live a good and long life, staying away from these foods is a must.
There are some pretty healthy foods that help reduce the risk of breast cancer too!
2013 has been full of news concerning the prevention and treatment of breast cancer. There are nearly 3 more months to see what new studies have to say about protecting loved ones from the disease and ensuring breast cancer is, once and for all, kicked to the curb.

With Valentine's Day less than a week away, the dash to dip, everything in chocolate that is, is on at area candy companies including Gertrude Hawk.
Newswatch 16's Ryan Leckey visited one of the company's stores in Kingston for a behind the scenes look at the candy crunch.
Workers say Gertrude Hawk plans to individually dip 75,000 strawberries throughout its 60 locations across Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey. This equates to about 16,000 pounds of chocolate.
When it comes to spending this Valentine's Day, the National Retail Federation says consumers aren't expected to dish out as much dough as last year.
Spending across the U.S. is expected to be down.

I LOVE Summer. I'm a "the-hotter-the-better" kind of girl. Give me 35° degrees over 0° degrees any day, any time, any where…so bring it on Summer, I'm ready for you!
I will admit though, dressing for the heat can be a little challenging. One of my tricks for staying cool when it's hot outside? SHORTS! Shocking I know 🙂 but shorts are often overlooked in favour of the ever-popular sundress or written off as either too casual or too "young".
I get it. Shorts can be tricky. Most women think they don't look good in shorts. Or are worried that they'll ride up places where they shouldn't, but honestly the right pair of shorts can hide a myriad of sins and are so much better suited to the heat than a dress (good bye thigh chafing).
It's all about finding the right length, cut and fabric for your body and then styling them so that you look effortlessly chic. Easy right? Don't worry, it actually is! Lucky for us, everything from long and drapey, to long and straight, to short and drapey, to short and fitted are in style right now.
Ok, so first of all, let's talk length. Self-conscious about your legs? Find shorts that end at the narrowest part of your thigh and avoid a cuff which can add bulk. Stay at least 1″ up from the top of your knee cap, anything lower can make your knee look pudgy. Look for a pair of shorts that aren't super tight through the leg. By leaving a little wiggle room between your legs and your shorts, you'll feel that much slimmer and won't have to worry about pesky cellulite showing through or squishing out under you shorts. Mid-length shorts (a 7″ to 8″ inseam) are generally flattering on most people. On the shorter side? Go as short as you dare to help lengthen your legs (3″ to 5″ inseam). Taller? Lucky you, you can wear anything from 3″ to 10″.
Are you pear shaped? Grab a pair of high-waisted shorts that draw attention to your narrowest part (your waist). Opt for something looser through the hips and legs like a pair of paperbag-waist shorts in whatever length you feel comfortable in (5″ to 8″). I know the tendency here is to reach for a pair of flat-fronted Bermuda shorts, which is totally fine, just make sure they're high-waisted and looser in the leg otherwise you might end up looking boxy. Stay away from pockets or any other sort of embellishments on your hips and thighs. The goal here is to showcase your waist.
All you apple-shaped girls out there, reach for a pair of looser-fitting boyfriend or girlfriend shorts which will add a bit more volume to your bottom-half and create some balance. Stay away from low-rise and anything too short or anything too long (a 5″ to 6″ inseam is your sweet-spot). Pockets, pleats…anything that adds a bit of bulk to your hips and helps give you more of a waist…are your friends. A-line, flared or paperbag-waist shorts in drapey fabrics are also great for you as they can help to give you a waist and balance out your top half.
Shorts are a must-have for outings where you'll be sitting on a cold chair or barstool for a looooong time (like brunch with good friends) because they keep parts that should be covered, covered...enough said. Plus paperbag-waist shorts are loose fitting, perfect for big meals! Make sure you tuck in your shirt with paperbag-waist shorts so that you look polished not sloppy.
Paperbag-Waist Shorts available at RW&CO. $69.90*; Skinny Belt available at RW&CO. $39.90*; Button-Down Shirt available at H&M $14.99*; Cuff Bracelet available at Le Chateau $25*; Suede Mules available at Le Chateau $99.95*.
To showcase Alicia's tiny waist and give her some extra length, we went with high-waisted short shorts but you could easily recreate this look with a pair of mid-length denim shorts. A long blazer worn open is a great way to minimize a fuller bottom half while still highlighting your waistline.
Denim Shorts available at H&M $*; Relaxed-Fit Blazer available at H&M $*; Knit Tank available at H&M $*; Jordyn G Necklace available at Hudson's Bay $22*; Straw Tote Bag available at H&M $29.99*; Sam Edelman Espadrilles available at Hudson's Bay $125*.
Sunday Funday
When looking for white shorts, denim is a great option. The thicker material ensures that they aren't see-through. Avoid the urge to go super-tight (especially if you're opting for a short pair). Pair with a looser fitting top to keep it casual and stylish.
Denim Cut-Offs available at H&M $34.99*; Smoked Top Available at H&M $29.99*; Etereo Statement Earrings available at Hudson's Bay $22*; Huglag Block-Heel Sandals available at Aldo $90*.
Boardroom Babe
If you're one of those people that are lucky enough to be able to wear shorts to work - DO IT! I would much rather sit at my desk in a pair of shorts than in a mini skirt - wouldn't you? These high-waisted, longish, trouser-like shorts are perfect for work, especially when paired with an oversized blazer. The tie-waist helps to emphasize Alicia's waist while the looser fitting leg creates a long and streamlined silhouette.
Paperbag-Waist Shorts available at H&M $34.99*; Camisole available at H&M $19.99*; Oversized Blazer available at H&M $39.99*; Necklace available at H&M $6.99*; Town Shoes Danielle Strappy Sandals available at Town Shoes $119*.
I know I already featured a pair of denim shorts but I don't think one pair is enough. Everybody needs a pair of distressed, high-waisted shorts for more casual outfits. Look for a pair that's looser in the legs in whatever length your prefer.
Levis Wedgie Distressed Shorts available at Plenty $90*; Wave Wanderer One-Piece Swimsuit available at lululemon athletica $128*; Oversized Shirt available at H&M $29.99*; Rose Gold Sunglasses available at RW&CO. $25*; Vince Camuto Rentin Sandals available at Town Shoes $130*.

Sigatoka Sand Dune National Park
Sigatoka Sand Dunes – A Must Visit Whilst in Fiji
Sigatoka Sand Dunes National Park is located on Fiji's largest island, Viti Levu. Just west of the mouth of the Sigatoka River along the Coral Coast. This is the second largest river in Fiji. The dunes are the product of fluvial erosion in the coastal hinterland and coastal dune forming processes.
I had to look up fluvial erosion: "the detachment of material of the river bed and the sides. Erosion starts when the flow energy of the water exceeds the resistance of the material of the river bed and banks."
The dunes have been forming over millions of years as sediments brought down by the Sigatoka River are washed ashore by the surf and blown into dunes by the prevailing winds. This extensive dune system covers an area of 650 hectares and comprises a series of parabolic sand dunes of various ages and activities. The dunes range from 20 to 60 metres (65 to almost 200 feet) tall.
Hiking the Sigatoka Sand Dunes Park
There are two trails through the National Park. The short way is about an hour long. And the long way, about a two-hour walk. The trails lead you through the surrounding vegetation of native forest and grassland. Up and down hills and dunes. Then along the coast before coming back through a Mahogany forest. This forest was planted in the 1960's to help prevent the dunes from creeping inland, which happens at a rate of about 3 meters per year. Hence, this herbaceous community is now a thriving ecosystem teeming with life.
History of the Sand Dunes Site
Sigatoka Sand Dunes are the location of one of Fiji's earliest recorded prehistoric sites. Archaeological excavations have uncovered pottery more than 2600 years old and one of the largest burial sites in the Pacific. Evidence of the past is visible throughout the dune system as pottery scatters, stone tools, human remains, and other archaeological relics continue to be uncovered by natural processes. A few of these items are on display in the Visitor's Centre however relics are best seen at the Fiji National Museum in Suva.
The Sigatoka Sand Dunes was declared Fiji's first National Park in 1987. It has been shortlisted by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. A key tourist attraction, it's also an important source of archaeological artifacts and information for local and foreign institutes.
An Inexpensive-Breathtaking Attraction
The park is open daily from 8am – 5pm and admission is just $10 FJD per person. That's about $5.00 USD. I've hiked both trails but prefer the more challenging two-hour hike. Hiking further on the longer trail gives you the full "dunal experience"!
This is an outdoor activity in a hot, sunny locale. Therefore, the best time to hike is early in the morning or later in the day.
The National Trust of Fiji is responsible for care and control of this park. I have only one suggestion to improve this as a tourist site. The display cases in the visitor centre are foggy. As a result the artifacts are quite difficult to see. The friendly staff and park rangers are very informative and helpful. Trails are clearly marked with signage.
What to Bring /Wear to Sigatoka Sand Dunes
- Bottled Water (Bring your own as beverages may or may not be available for purchase at the Visitors Center. You just never know.)
- Sunscreen
- Sturdy walking shoes
- a hat and sunglasses
- A UV shirt with SPF protection
Pick up a walking stick along the way. But please don't take anything from the land or ocean with you! Check out my review of Sigatoka Sand Dunes on TripAdvisor.

I've lost track — this is either the fifth or sixth recipe I've tried from The Sweeter Side of Amy's Bread. It was another success, although I improvised a bit and replaced half of the chocolate chips with butterscotch chips. If you've made blondies before and not been impressed, then I think you'll be very pleasantly surprised by this recipe.
Just reading the ingredients list, you can tell these are going to be amazing. Four eggs, 4 sticks of melted butter, 3 1/2 cups of brown sugar… the recipe also makes a ton of blondies, so I hope you have a lot of friends and family to share them with.
The technique is interesting, because you mix just a small portion of the chocolate chips into the batter. The rest (almost 2 cups) and the toasted nuts (2 cups also) are poured all over the top, so you end up with layers, one of the batter and one of the chocolate-and-nut topping. My batch was super soft, probably a bit underbaked, but I'm not complaining. In fact, I'm raving about this fool-proof recipe.

Mission accomplished, Fort Mill's Tuipulotu in Utah to take next football step at BYU
Hank Tuipulotu signs with BYU over South Carolina
A lot can change in two years. A simple drive around Fort Mill these days confirms that.
When speaking with Hank Tuipulotu, there is little doubt that two years have changed him, too.
Tuipulotu recently returned from a two-year Mormon mission trip to Manchester, England, a trip he had in mind long before deciding on a college destination. The next trip for the former Nation Ford standout is to Provo, Utah, to suit up for Brigham Young University's football team.
The overseas trip, though, clearly laid the foundation for the westward trek.
"The experience that I had there was very humbling," Tuipulotu said.
"It's incredible to see so many people from so many different places. I've never been anywhere that's been so diverse in my life. There are so many different cultures. It was just amazing for people to be so hospitable to us, as the missionaries. They were all very open and willing to discuss what we believe, in Jesus Christ. That was very special."
The journey refined Tuipulotu's commitment to his faith and service to others. His mission call allowed him a chance to serve, and he had another opportunity to serve upon his return from the United Kingdom. Tuipulotu visited Nation Ford for some time to pay forward his experience.
"It was so special," said Tuipulotu of the return to his alma mater.
"I really, really love the staff, the teachers, the coaches at Nation Ford. I really owe a lot to them. They're a big tribute to what I've been able to be blessed with. It was great to go back and try and pay back a little bit. I got to speak to some players and speak to some students, to try to encourage them to listen up, because they (the staff and teachers) know what they're talking about.It was a great opportunity."
Those words likely resonated more with one Nation Ford student than any other. Hank's brother, Petey, is a rising junior receiver for the Falcons. Petey was a big part of the conversation between Hank and Nation Ford head football coach Michael Allen, but not the only part.
"He (Allen) really, really cared about my experiences I had in England, and wanted to know about them," Tuipulotu stated. "I think he was very, very genuine in the way that he was trying to figure out where I was and where I was headed."
While Petey will play at Nation Ford, Hank's other brother Ben – himself a former Nation Ford star player and BYU commit – and sister Sami will also soon head on mission trips. Ben will soon depart for Osomo, Chile, while Sami departs later this year.
"The biggest thing (I've told them) has just been to let themselves give everything. They've gotta give up the things that they want, the things that they're holding back," Tuipulotu said. "Ben, for example, giving up the pride that comes with football is just a way for him to embrace everything else that will come from his mission. The biggest advice I've given him is that he can really be an instrument.He can really help so many people, if he's willing to let himself be used in that way."
The ability to stay in football shape is one of the challenges of being on a mission, due to the demands of the call. Tuipulotu acknowledges that challenge, while stating that he feels himself rounding back to where he needs to be.
"I can feel myself getting there (back into shape)," Tuipulotu said. "It's very difficult to maintain, but getting it back hasn't been the most difficult thing."
Tuipolotu took some extra time to be with his family before heading to Provo, stating his commitment to them is "back up in its rightful spot" atop his list of priorities. He will find another familiar face in BYU head coach Kalani Sitake, who is a longtime friend of Tuipulotu's father, Peter. Hank realizes nothing is promised him, though, and plans to make the most of his opportunities.
"Football is a means. It's a means to an end, and it's a great opportunity, of course, to move on and to go to school, and perhaps to get paid, to have a job," Tuipulotu explained, before returning to the influence of his calling. "To me, that mission trip has meant the world, and I'm very, very excited to see the opportunities that it will continue to open up, because I know that there are many to come."
Whatever opportunities await him, Tuipulotu knows that his time in Fort Mill helped him achieve them.
"This is a wonderful area to live, and a place where kids, especially, can have a great education and great opportunities to learn, to grow, and to move on," he said. "Fort Mill does a great job of doing that. Otherwise, it wouldn't grow like this."

Division: Knee
Category: Early Intervention Knees
The SIGMA® High Performance Partial Knee is a unique system comprised of unicondylar and patellofemoral implants and a full range of state-of-the-art instruments to perform both of these procedures.
The SIGMA® High Performance Partial Kneeis indicated for single or multi-compartmental knee replacement in skeletally mature individuals with osteoarthritis, posttraumatic arthritis of the tibiofemoral and/or patellofemoral articular surfaces or a history of gout or pseudogout. DePuy Synthes Joint Reconstruction's SIGMA® High Performance Partial Knee System is intended to provide increased patient mobility and reduced pain by replacing the damaged knee joint articulation in patients where there is evidence of sufficient sound bone to seat and support the components.
The system's implants are designed to treat degenerative joint disease one compartment at a time: medial uni, lateral uni and patellofemoral. This allows the surgeon to replace only the affected compartment, leaving healthy bone, cartilage and ligaments intact. The modularity of the system addresses one of the main reasons for early intervention revision, disease progression.
The modularity of the system allows for a variety of component placement scenarios and provides an accurate fit to patient anatomy. The modularity of the system also addresses one of the main reasons for early intervention revision, disease progression. Bi-compartmental replacement is possible as either a simultaneous or staged procedure.
|Normal Kinematics & High Flexion
Because of the ability to maintain the ACL with this system, normal kinematics in activities of daily living can be achieved. The uni components are designed for patients who require a higher than normal degree of flexion, providing support up to 155 degrees.
|Low Wear
The combination of a highly polished cobalt chrome tray with a moderately cross linked polyethylene insert is designed to help reduce backside wear.1
|Fully Instrumented Surgical Techniques & Bone Preservation
The system is complemented by High Performance instruments offering precision, efficiency and accuracy. The surgical technique using these instruments is robust and reproducible, taking only the amount of bone necessary, preserving bone and soft tissue.
All medical devices have associated risks. Please refer to the package insert and other labeling for a complete list of indications, contraindications, precautions and warnings. For further information on DePuy Synthes Products, please contact your local DePuy Synthes Representative.

text: A highly celebrated day in Guatemala is the Day of the Child, October 1st. Tropical Storm Nate caused us to celebrate indoors this year, but it was no less fun. We love all the children in the Bible Study and made sure they knew it! After hot dogs, hot chocolate and a colorful cake, the kids watched a movie before joining their moms for more treats. We had a gift for five of the kids that came out first in their class (school is almost out). The ladies then extended their hands and prayed blessings over all of them, before showering them with candies. "Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." Matthew 19:14

Floral Design Tool List
So you want to get started in floral design? The art of floral design is a wonderful hobby to practice. It can be calming and grounding. Working with the earth and forming living, beautiful creations is something that can be admired. The art of floral design is a skill that can be adopted by anyone with a keen eye and some practice. Like any art, everybody has their own style and preference, but there are a few basic elements to achieve good design.
To learn more see:
-Elements You Need for Great Design (and How to Grow Them-
But to get you started there is some basic gear you will want to obtain:
Floral Knife: A floral knife is a true florist's must-have tool. Floral shears can be used to cut stems, but a floral knife allows you to cut through stems, dethorn, and clean up flowers MUCH faster than shears can. Although, safety and some caution are necessary as mishaps do occur when the mind wanders.
Floral Shears: Floral shears are nice to have when cutting through thick, woody branches and for the beginner who hasn't mastered the floral knife.
Wire: Wire is fabulous in floral work. With threading and hook procedures you can prop, bend and align flowers to desired places.
Ribbon: Some individuals love bows, while other artists find them gaudy and outdated. An assortment of ribbon is nice to have on hand to make bows and tie pieces together. Raffia is a favorite.
Binding Wire: Bind wire is a must-have when making hand-tied bouquets. Simply make the arrangement in hand, wrap the stems in wire and then wrap in paper to complete the presentation.
Oasis (Floral foam): Ever wonder how to create darling arrangements in coffee mugs, baskets, pottery, china, and otherwise odd containers? The key is oasis, a water retaining spongy material, that holds cut stems in place and allows them to drink from its reservoirs. Caution: Poke to many holes through the oasis base and your creation will crumble, be careful to place stems in their proper place without too many replacements.
Wet Wrap: Want to present a hand-tied bouquet and have the flowers looking fresh for transport? You need to have baggies, rubber bands and floral foam.
Tissue Paper/Paper Wrap: Make a few stems of flowers or a complete hand-tied bouquet complete with a simple paper or tissue wrap. Really boosts the bouquets overall look and adds some flare! Have fun with the numerous assortments of paper patterns and textures available
5 Gallon Buckets: These come in handy so often! I love having some for my floral design work. With a little legwork, you can usually obtain 5-gallon buckets for free from local businesses and restaurants. For flowers, make sure you have food-grade 5-gallon buckets and not buckets that previously contained harsh chemicals.
Floral Tape: Floral tape is a special tape that comes in an array of different colors. It is used in making boutonnieres and in hiding wires.
Clear Floral Tape: Using clear, thin floral tape, you can make grids across different containers, allowing flowers to stay put in desired spots. Also, this tape can be used to secure oasis into a container.
Glue Gun & Sticks: Having a glue gun handy is just good practice. Often times, in the floral industry, we use glue guns to add flowers to wrist corsages, add finishing touches to containers, attach ribbons, etc.
Containers: Have fun with the containers you collect! Flowers can be designed and put in a huge array of containers, including anything ranging from baskets, teacups, and vases, to pumpkins, shoes, and more! But whatever you use, it must have a lining or be able to hold water.
This should be a great start to having all of the tools you need to make awesome arrangements. Floral design is fun and exciting. I would encourage anyone to try it!

(1 Peter 4:7-11) In today's passage, Peter offers instructions to followers of Jesus of how to live in the world as citizens of God's kingdom. We are to live together, facing the tension that comes with living as strangers in a strange world, while we await our homecoming.
"How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!"" (Romans 10:14–15)
