this has to say it all!
(AND DON'T WE NEED A LAUGH!)
Thank GOD for intelligent people.........
Part of rebuilding New Orleans caused residents often to be challenged
With the task of tracing home titles back potentially hundreds of years..
With a community rich with history stretching back over two centuries,
Houses have been passed along through generations of family,
Sometimes making it quite difficult to establish ownership.
Here's a great letter an attorney wrote to the FHA on behalf of a client:
You have to love this lawyer........
A New Orleans lawyer sought an FHA loan for a client.
He was told the loan would be granted if he could prove satisfactory title
to a parcel of property being offered as collateral.
The title to the property dated back to 1803,
which took the lawyer three months to track down.
After sending the information to the FHA, he received the following reply.
(Actual reply from FHA):
"Upon review of your letter adjoining your client's loan application,
we note that the request is supported by an Abstract of Title.
While we compliment the able manner in which you have prepared
and presented the application, we must point out that you have only cleared title to the proposed collateral property back to 1803.
Before final approval can be accorded, it will be necessary to clear the title back to its origin."
Annoyed, the lawyer responded as follows:
(Actual response):
"Your letter regarding title in Case No.189156 has been received.
I note that you wish to have title extended further than the 206 years
covered by the present application.
I was unaware that any educated person in this country,
particularly those working in the property area, would not know that Louisiana was purchased by the United States from France , in 1803 the year of origin identified in our application.
For the edification of uninformed FHA bureaucrats, the title to the land prior to U.S. ownership was obtained from France, which had acquired it by Right of Conquest from Spain.
The land came into the possession of Spain by Right of Discovery
made in the year 1492 by a sea captain named Christopher Columbus,
who had been granted the privilege of seeking a new route to India
by the Spanish monarch, Queen Isabella.
The good Queen Isabella, being a pious woman and almost as careful about titles as the FHA, took the precaution of securing the blessing of the Pope before she sold her jewels to finance Columbus's expedition...
Now the Pope, as I'm sure you may know, is the emissary of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and God, it is commonly accepted, created this world.
Therefore, I believe it is safe to presume that God also made that part of the world called Louisiana.
God, therefore, would be the owner of origin and His origins date back
to before the beginning of time, the world as we know it, and the FHA.
I hope you find God's original claim to be satisfactory.
Now, may we have our loan?"
*The loan was immediately approved.**

The Peacock War
We had a lovely group of peacocks, one female survived with two males. The one odd male was lonely and often came to watch me swim in the morning. He would caw and I would answer. He was there everyday looking at me.
It came to a point where he started to appear on the bedroom balcony outside the sliding door, nightly and caw. Howard was standing there when I answered him. "No, no", he said," that will keep him coming to the bedroom balcony," and it did, he continued to visit the bedroom balcony for a few nights.
One night Howard had enough! The cawing was loud and non stopping! He is licensed to carry a rife, which he got and went to the window to shoot in the air. When he pulled back the curtain, there was the peacock and a fox, with his mouth on the peacock's, leg trying to yank him down. The peacock pecked the fox in the eye and Howard shot the gun in the air....It was like the road runner cartoon, feathers flew and legs went fast, as they departed the scene.
The next day, my loving peacock was removed from the farm , banished forever!

New tax on your house, in the health care bill
This has been circulating on the web, I posted the link to where the information came from, just click on the blue title above
Subj: FW: New Real Estate Sales Tax
Under the new health care bill all real estate transactions will be subject to a 3.8% Sales Tax. The bulk of these new taxes don’t kick in until 2013 (presumably after Obama’s re-election). You can thank Nancy, Harry and Barack and your local Democrat Congressman for this one. If you sell your $400,000 home, there will be a $15,200 tax.

Walt Disney - Fantasia - Mickey The Sorcerer's Apprentice
With the new movie coming out on July 14th, you need to try and get this for the little ones. It is a great cartoon, with magical music, and the fun of it is the scene with the brooms and the water! When I taught school, I used the scene to get the little ones to be creative, to write and draw what they thought of when they saw the movie. It was fun for me too!

Sam Cooke, be sure to collect now, you could lose them in the future! Great gifts for parents who are old enough to remember him. Look at the prices on the collectible albums when you check out the oldies I post.

Exercise, drink tea to prevent dementia
Life Extension Magazine,
Improved living and diet habits -- including lots of physical activity, regular tea-drinking and sufficient vitamin D levels -- could reduce the risk of brain decline, according to three studies presented Sunday.
"These are encouraging," says William Thies, chief medical and scientific officer of the Alzheimer's Association. "These types of studies make people think, 'Well gosh, maybe I can do something about this disease.' "

Gold too expensive, what to buy?
Gold is too expensive, not worth the investment at this late stage,I think. What is worth buying , antiques, land and buildings, that are going for nearly 1/2 price, even new homes, are priced close to 1/2 of what they were.
If you are a buyer, consider a new home, versus an older home , foreclosure or not, because a home has an average of 20 year life. The roof, utilities, appliances, everything needs to be replaced sometime in that 20 year span, depending on how it was inspected and maintained by the last owners. A new home has the advantage of a longer life for you,before replacement, and usually a buyer is only in the home for 5-7 years, on average....
So, maybe a new home from us at $200,000, or $300.000 we can build any of the price ranges, on magnificent lots. Great choices now, close to major routes and transportation, Give us a chance to show you what you can afford. Remember the Pilgrims became rich with the purchase and grants of land. It is still possible, to make a homestead and turn it into cash, if you buy right, and buy now, before inflation comes back.
Nothing is guaranteeed, but at least a new home is usually most comfortable, and could possibly be your best bet in this downturn. Think about it, and if you find it worthwhile to consider a new home, give Fafard a call The choices of price, lots and plans are the biggest in the area. 508-881-6662

The liberal New York Times is making me nervous, they agree with the conservatives that this could be the worst depression ever, including the Great Depression of the 1930's. Hopefully that is not going to come to pass, but last night on tv, they said that our condition is worse than that of Greece! Wow! Something to worry about today. The little tramp examplifies the period of what we thought was the Great Depression, what will signify this depression?

The Magic of Cucumbers
This was circulating on the web and worth reading ..
WOW WHAT A LITTLE GEM THE CUCUMBER IS, I WILL LOOK AT IT DIFFERENTLY NOW.
1. Cucumbers contain most of the vitamins you need every day, just one cucumber contains Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium and Zinc.
2. Feeling tired in the afternoon, put down the caffeinated soda and pick up a cucumber. Cucumbers are a good source of B Vitamins and Carbohydrates that can provide that quick pick-me-up that can last for hours.
3. Tired of your bathroom mirror fogging up after a shower? Try rubbing a cucumber slice along the mirror, it will eliminate the fog and provide a soothing, spa-like fragrance.
4. Are grubs and slugs ruining your planting beds? Place a few slices in a small pie tin and your garden will be free of pests all season long. The chemicals in the cucumber react with the aluminum to give off a scent undetectable to humans but drive garden pests crazy and make them flee the area.
5 Looking for a fast and easy way to remove cellulite before going out or to the pool? Try rubbing a slice or two of cucumbers along your problem area for a few minutes, the phytochemicals in the cucumber cause the collagen in your skin to tighten, firming up the outer layer and reducing the visibility of cellulite. Works great on wrinkles too!!!
6. Want to avoid a hangover or terrible headache? Eat a few cucumber slices before going to bed and wake up refreshed and headache free. Cucumbers contain enough sugar, B vitamins and electrolytes to replenish essential nutrients the body lost, keeping everything in equilibrium, avoiding both a hangover and headache!!
7. Looking to fight off that afternoon or evening snacking binge? Cucumbers have been used for centuries and often used by European trappers, traders and explores for quick meals to thwart off starvation.
8. Have an important meeting or job interview and you realize that you don't have enough time to polish your shoes? Rub a freshly cut cucumber over the shoe, its chemicals will provide a quick and durable shine that not only looks great but also repels water.
9. Out of WD 40 and need to fix a squeaky hinge? Take a cucumber slice and rub it along the problematic hinge, and voila, the squeak is gone!
10. Stressed out and don't have time for a massage, facial or visit to the spa? Cut up an entire cucumber and place it in a boiling pot of water, the chemicals and nutrients from the cucumber will react with the boiling water and be released in the steam, creating a soothing, relaxing aroma that has been shown to reduce stress in new mothers and college students during final exams.
11. Just finished a business lunch and realize you don't have gum or mints? Take a slice of cucumber and press it to the roof of your mouth with your tongue for 30 seconds to eliminate bad breath, the phytochemcials will kill the bacteria in your mouth responsible for causing bad breath.
12. Looking for a 'green' way to clean your faucets, sinks or stainless steel? Take a slice of cucumber and rub it on the surface you want to clean, not only will it remove years of tarnish and bring back the shine - it won't leave streaks and won't harm your fingers or fingernails while you clean.
13. Using a pen and made a mistake? Take the outside of the cucumber and slowly use it to erase the pen writing, also works great on crayons and markers that the kids have used to decorate the walls!!
Pass this along to everybody you know who is looking for better and safer ways to solve life's everyday problems

If you don't keep up with the latest on physics and the hidden worlds, and if you only read one book in your life, this is it. Even if you keep up with what happens in matter, particles, quantum physics and more, you need to read this.
I read it, then saw the C/D gave it to the "kids", who are not old enough to pay attention. When life hits them in the face, they might find it again! This is something we all should try to understand. It is the key to the future of health and well being and how we enter the next century as people of the world. There is so much being discovered about us, matter, reality, consciousness, etc., that this is a great beginning for anyone who wants to know the answers to the great questions.
The answers are not here, but the discoveries are pointing the way! Who are we, why are we here, what is our purpose on earth? You will begin to think about life in a different way, guaranteed!
The book is shown on the left and the c/d is on the right side.

There is so much being discovered about us, matter, reality, consciousness, etc., that this is a great beginning for anyone who wants to know the answers to the great questions.
The answers are not here, but the discoveries are pointing the way! Who are we, why are we here, what is our purpose on earth? You will begin to think about life in a different way, guaranteed!
The book is shown on the left and the c/d is on the right side.

BLACKLISTED BY HISTORY, M. Stanton Evans
It is refreshing to have someone investigate the facts of what was a tough time for many of us growing up during these hearings conducted by McCarthy. We listened to his hearings nightly and wondered at the conspiracy that he was unfolding. Then suddenly Mc Carthy was destroyed! Now, after years of research there is a window of understanding of what was happening. Our generation was the last to learn of the communist manifesto, we were the ones that saw Krushev pound his shoe and say, that we would be conquered! Now looking back, and knowing what the manifesto is, you can see that every article of the communist manifesto is in place and being carried out faithfully from our schools to our colleges, and into the very government we were taught to treasure.
The Language of God, Francis S. Collins
This was very enjoyable, especially learning about the belief of someone who has studied DNA in such depth. It still boils down to faith, but any thinking person has to think that there must be more to life than what we think, see experience. There has to be a reason for intellect, or what good is it?
The Language of Life, Francis S. Collins
Francis Collins, wrote also" The Language of God," which I also enjoyed. Please read the reviews and see what you think.
Collins information about DNA and how you can take care of yourself, in spite of hereditary disease is hopeful. Stem cell treatments that show promise and the long road we still have in learning to handle the new information from DNA, how to use the information and learn from what we know.

Charlie Byrd trio - Shiny Stockings
Ella Fitzgerald sings this song, and its great! This is the first version of the song I have found on You Tube!....it is a hard to find jazz great!
Andrea Bocelli - Solamente Una Vez
This is a song I grew up with, because my father sang it to my mother often.
Amstrong- kiss to build a dream on
Watching the news, listening to the commentators, sitting here feeling terrible about the conditions we face in the world, I decided to go back to a time between the wars....Louis sang this in those long ago days, it was a time of love for us teens! A way to relax by thinking of the good times.
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
George Harrison, wow! we can not forget his music. What did you think of Paul McCartney's rude remark about our past president. I hope none of us would ever stand before the English and make a rude remark like that directed toward a past queen or prime minister. Paul, that was not worldy of you!
Lena Horne - It Had Better Be Tonight (Meglio Stasera) - Remixed
I wanted some thing to remember Lena Horne, who was fabulous in voice, figure, and face! This song was one of the best, from the Pink Panther film.

Have you ever traveled across country by vehicle. If not, rent a motorhome, make it yours with comfort, and head out for freedom. Go see our great land, see our people, recall our freedom! What gorgeous skies on route 10 in Texas, heading back east! What a difference in the landscape as you cross the rockies , the desert and head back to the east. People died for this magnificent country, not once, but many times! Go see the grandeur and marvel at it, as my husband and I have. It is unforgettable!

http://www.vonward.com
Here is a site that is interesting, it involves studying who we are , where we could have come from, and it searches the world for answers. People who study the unknown bring us closer all the time to answers that maybe some of us are afraid to find. Consciousness is incredible, its continuing existence is something I choose to believe in, and hope to confirm beyond a doubt. It will certainly help to make the world a better place, when we come to that conclusion, as a species.. Paul Von Ward has written a few very interesting books, on his studies, that are worth reading if you are interested in the mysteries of our universe and the questions many of us ask ourselves.

The Ghost Mountain Boys by James Campbell
The misery of war, the insurmountable task of taking New Guinea, and the picture that McArthur painted, are all in this book. The terrain of New Guinea is so daunting, and the men were not prepared for the jungle, or the terrifying terrain. Their supplies were not jungle supplies, the amount of equipment they had to carry was overwhelming. The jungle life, animals, bugs, snakes, crocs, and the changes in altitude as they climbed up and down mountains offered incredible odds. Disease stalked the men, while they held on to dreams about home and their families, that kept them alive and moving each day.
The natives were cannibals, the Japanese wrote home about cannabalizing their own, this is how bad the job was for both sides. Our troops had to fight against Japanese soldiers whose culture honored death before surrender, and an Emperor that told them to fight to the death. Surrender was not an option for our men, because life was not honored by the Japanese fighting men, who were starving and hung the Australians that they caught from trees, then stripped their flesh, wrapping it in leaves for future meals.
Our men on the way to New Guinea, impregnated the Australian wives and girlfriends of the Australian troops and created enemies of our partners in the war to win against the axis. I actually cried about 1/2 way through the book. It is daunting to read, but something you can not put down. You know that some of the men returned and that is how we have the story now, about one of the fiercest battles in the 2nd World War.

PRESIDENT KENNEDY ONCE SAID THAT A DINNER FOR NOBEL LAUREATES WAS THE GREATEST CONCENTRATION OF BRAIN POWER EVER GATHERED AT THE WHITE HOUSE, EXCEPT WHEN THOMAS JEFFERSON DINED ALONE.
one of the most brilliant men ever!
Obviously, he was a man ahead of his time.
HOW DID JEFFERSON KNOW?
Especially: Read the last quote from 1802.
When we get piled
upon one another in large cities, as in Europe,
we shall become as corrupt as Europe ..
Thomas Jefferson
The democracy will cease to exist
when you take away from those
who are willing to work and give to those who would not.
Thomas Jefferson
It is incumbent on every
generation to pay its own debts as it goes.
A principle which if acted on would save
one-half the wars of the world.
Thomas Jefferson
I predict future happiness for
Americans if they can prevent the government
from wasting the labors of the people under the
pretense of taking care of them.
Thomas Jefferson
My reading of history convinces me
that most bad government results from too much
government.
Thomas Jefferson
No free man shall ever be debarred
the use of arms.
Thomas Jefferson
The strongest reason for the
people to retain the right to keep and bear arms
is, as a last resort, to protect themselves
against tyranny in government.
Thomas Jefferson
The tree of liberty must be
refreshed from time to time with the blood of
patriots and tyrants.
Thomas Jefferson
To compel a man to subsidize with
his taxes the propagation of ideas which he
disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.
Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:
'I believe that
banking institutions are more dangerous to
our liberties than standing armies.
If the American people ever allow
private banks to control the issue of their
currency, first by inflation, then by
deflation, the banks and corporations that will
grow up around the banks will deprive the people
of all property - until their children
wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers
conquered.'
Now, it is time to remind you to read Atlas Shrugged, again by Ayn Rand, once the 2nd largest seller in the world, next to the Bible....

THE 19TH WIFE by David Ebershoff
Spurred by great reviews
like these, Washington Post Book World, Los Angeles Times, and the New York Times, I decided to give it a try and it held my interest for the 2-3 days it took to read it through.
I was interested in how the Mormon leaders were able to convince their followers that it was God's will, to practice polygamy.Naturally, it was like all man made religions, a leader declares it and the sheep blindly follow. Even in their hearts they knew, it was not the right thing. Isn't that true of all religious followers, when something is wrong in the heart, you know it.
Not that this is a biography, it is a work of fiction, but human beings know inside when they are doing right and or wrong, they know the difference between lust and love, and the conflict is obvious in the actions of the men, and women, as the story teller shows between the lines, that emotion and love are hard to corral, when there are too many people to spread your feelings amongst. As you will see when you experience a polygamous household, in the book.
It also points to the need to be more stringent in the welfare system, since the cult that remains, not the Mormons as we know them today, but the ones who disobey our laws and still practice polygamy, (the firsts, as they are referred to in the boook)are benefiting from the welfare system of our country, while acting outside the law.
If you have 10 celestial wives, they are not recognized as wives, so they can collect, mulitply that by $500 a month and you can see the benefit to the man of having serial wives, who can collect. Work is no longer necessary for the man, and he satisfies his lust with as many women as he can manage to support with the welfare checks and his house.
The book will keep you interested, until about the last third, if you are like me, I was at that point getting anxious to speed up the action. Weaving back and forth between speakers, it became a little dull when the 19th wife was on the speaking circuit. An arane feeling came over me, and that is what made it drag. But, then it got back to the action, as the story neared its end, and conclusions were reached as to who the murderer was, and what happened to the 19th wife.
It would be a good book club selection , with a guide at the back to assist.

The spill, true compassion requires action!
True leaders feel the suffering and spring into action, they are compassionate and empathetic. Folks who consider themselves compassionate, understanding , loving, can not get stuck in the suffering it is enough to stop anyone in their tracks. Focus is required, focus on the problem, lifting the sorrow and suffering.
As I write this I hear talking heads on tv discussing the wealth of BP, and how they can get it., how they want investigations on unethical business, etc etc..The focus is wrong, now is not the time to call names, try to grab money and start investigations, now is the time for us to gather together and take action to stop the suffering and sorrow. We need to team up with BP, and make this disaster go away from our people our shores! Congress is demonstrating its inability to lead because they can not focus on what is necessary when it is necessary, and that is clean up and prevention, so people can have their lives back, now!
Take it on a small individual basis. A child is drowning, you can be angry, complain focus on the lack of parenting, concentrate on calling authorities, etc or you can jump in the water and save the child. Action is the only need we have right now!
I agree with David DeCenzo . We should not boycott BP, they could go bankrupt and not pay any of the bills. They need money to make the reparations that will be enormous, do not punish those that are already suffering by being anxious to kill the perpetrator! This is the true meaning of "turn the other cheek." We need to support BP, so that they can be responsible for the damage.
If Hannity can spotlight the different methods to clean spills in water, then why is our President and Congress not doing anything! This is enormous, compared to Hurrican Katrina, why didn't we learn from that disaster the necessity of immediate action!
It boils down to government versus private business once again., if Hannity has the answers, why hasn't Congress been discussing them and springing into action.
What leadership emerged and what did not emerage and why? What would a businessman have done if this was his shore that was going to be devastated? You would run home to secure your home when you heard a hurricane was coming. You board up windows, remove anything that could fly around the yard etc. Nothing, was done, nothing! That is the true heartbreak! No preventive action was asked for from our people or considered by our Congress or our President, we waited for the company to figure it out while they tried to stop the break, and millions of gallons of oil spread on our shores.
My feeling is that we will develop new technology and preventive measures from this disaster that will benefit all of us. Hannity had wonderful ideas submitted on his show, to clean the oil spill. With these proven ideas demonstrated on the show, we know that we can establish new safety measures, that includes hugh nets that can mop up spills. It is wonderful to see the innovation, and it is sad to see the slow response of our government to clean up as BP trys to cap the pipe. We could have stopped the disaster from reaching our shores, and started the clean up. Now Florida is waiting for the oil to travel to it's shores and nothing is being done to capture it before it does its damage.
How can we move our Congress into action, what if this was an attack on our country? In retrospect, I wonder why Congress did not meet on the event immdediately and call for protective action from our brilliant scientists, inventors, and the many working companies that could have stepped up and instituted protective measures immediately. Instead they are discussing possible penalties, fines and actions against a company overwhelmed with guilt and responsibility.. Everything seems to be backwards in this world. Our people needed immediate action, not someone to think about future penalties.
We need to learn to turn the other cheek, this is an example of truly understanding that lesson. Turn the other cheek help to solve the problem, do not exacerabe the problem and increase the suffering! Quit complaining and call your Congressman and tell him or her to move the President off dead center, maybe he has to get the names of these people with the clean up ability, who are trying to contact the government from Hannity!
Our government is now facing the danger of losing our best friend, England, of destroying the pensions of our English friends, of killing a company, all because we are focusing on complaints, sorrow and suffering. This is not helpful to those who are crying, who have lost their life long jobs and businesses. They need to see action. The liberated countries of Europe are what come to mind, they saw action, marching through the streets when Victory in Europe was declared. Though devastated, hope was before their eyes. What have we done to give our people HOPE!
We need to create a positive attitude, we need a leader that knows how to do that, to speak to our people and say..".help BP to solve the problem, support clean up, suppor the locals, I am sending private businessmen to clean up the bayous, work will begin within so many days, and you will be back in business within a month!" Not just talk, mean it and get it done! Put together work crews, unemployed, trusted prisoners, national guard, whatever, but get it done.!
Now is the time to create jobs, offer hope, get the new clean up ideas out on the surface of the ocean and swamps to capture the oil. Action is what we need, compassion, understanding and all the help the brilliance of our country can bring to the table.
We can do it with leadership. Our government is lacking in what we as a country are known for,the men and women who braved public opinion and failure to step up to the plate and make things happen, right or wrong but get an action in place! Where are these leaders? We need to find them and vote them into office. We love our action figures, now we need to create action figures in government instead of complacent politicians, vote seekers who occupy office for life, who do not know the daily travails of surviving in business and the need to spring into action.
Let the oil clean up fund we hold languish, while are shores are polluted, hmmm? Could this possibly have a reason?

This could bring a break through in the way we approach cancer, viral causes have been established in some cancers, and I would not be surprised to find out that there are many more. When I was a child, I often wondered when I ate the flesh of an animal, would I get cancer , if I inadvertenly ate that animal's cancer cells? Our bodies are suppose to be able to handle that according to....but, how does anyone really know?
For years, I have seen in the alternate health area, the idea that cancer is caused by a virus; the viral damage could linger for a long time before blooming into cancer, or it could trigger a cancer right away.
It boils down to the same thing we learn in teaching. There are multifaceted ways to look at everything, and approach problems. Maybe this is why so many of us are interested in alternate health. There are theories that say fungus, yeast , mold, alkaline acid balance in the body, are causes of cancer. We could be overwhelmed and we are, maybe all these things cause cancer.

Life Extension article on cancer, smoking etc.
Researchers optimistic in cancer fight, as disease spreads
Agence France-Presse
06-08-10
Medical researchers are posting optimism in the long fight against cancer as advances were unveiled to combat the disease that continues to rise and remains the second biggest killer in the world.
"Our growing understanding of cancer's complex behavior is being translated into better, more targeted drugs against a variety of tumors," Douglas Blayney, president of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), said at the group's annual meeting.
The most encouraging results unveiled in Chicago last week during the world's biggest gathering of cancer experts demonstrated the growing role of therapies targeting key tumor functions or helping the immune system destroy cancer cells instead of standard chemotherapy.
These advances showed increased rates of survival, particularly among patients with advanced or metastasized cancers, such as melanoma. There are few, if any, treatments against these types of cancers.
An experimental antibody known as ipilimumab activates the immune system's T cells, which then seek and destroy melanoma cells, instead of targeting the cancer cell itself like previous treatments.
Researchers found the drug was the first to extend the lives of patients with advanced melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. Melanoma cases have climbed faster than any other cancer type over the past 30 years.
Another new experimental drug, crizotinib was shown to shrink tumors in advanced lung cancer patients with a specific type of genetic alteration by neutralizing an enzyme implicated in cancer cell growth, known as anaplastic lymphoma kinase, or ALK.
Lung cancer is the most frequent and deadliest of all cancers worldwide.
Another clinical trial found that long-term treatment with the drug Avastin, which cuts off supply of nutrient-rich blood to tumors, may help control progress of advanced ovarian cancer.
Adding radiation therapy to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) was also found to cut by 43 percent the risk of death in men suffering from locally advanced or high-risk prostate cancer.
"We really want to improve the quality of life of the patients with fewer side effects and some of these new approaches really accomplished that," University of Pennsylvania professor of medicine Lynn Schuchter told AFP.
Driving home that point, the ASCO meeting devoted its theme this year to "advancing quality through innovation."
Despite the progress and improvement of care since president Richard Nixon declared war against cancer in 1971, the disease remains far too frequent in the United States.
The American Cancer Society (ACS) estimates that nearly 1.5 million new cases were recorded in 2009, killing over 560,000 people.
A recent report by the World Health Organization warned the number of cancer deaths could double worldwide by 2030, to reach 13 million.
As industrialized countries struggle to care for an aging population, nearly half of all men and one in three women will be diagnosed with cancer in their lives, according to the ACS.
Several types of cancers -- liver, pancreas, ovarian, lung and brain -- are particularly lethal and do not respond well to existing therapies.
But the incidence of cancer is tied to lifestyles, placing the onus on prevention efforts.
Nearly 40 percent of the drop in male cancer deaths from 1990 to 2006 owed to a reduction in lung cancer, whose main culprit is smoking.

Medical researchers are posting optimism in the long fight against cancer as advances were unveiled to combat the disease that continues to rise and remains the second biggest killer in the world.
"Our growing understanding of cancer's complex behavior is being translated into better, more targeted drugs against a variety of tumors," Douglas Blayney, president of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), said at the group's annual meeting.
The most encouraging results unveiled in Chicago last week during the world's biggest gathering of cancer experts demonstrated the growing role of therapies targeting key tumor functions or helping the immune system destroy cancer cells instead of standard chemotherapy.
These advances showed increased rates of survival, particularly among patients with advanced or metastasized cancers, such as melanoma. There are few, if any, treatments against these types of cancers.
An experimental antibody known as ipilimumab activates the immune system's T cells, which then seek and destroy melanoma cells, instead of targeting the cancer cell itself like previous treatments.
Researchers found the drug was the first to extend the lives of patients with advanced melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. Melanoma cases have climbed faster than any other cancer type over the past 30 years.
Another new experimental drug, crizotinib was shown to shrink tumors in advanced lung cancer patients with a specific type of genetic alteration by neutralizing an enzyme implicated in cancer cell growth, known as anaplastic lymphoma kinase, or ALK.
Lung cancer is the most frequent and deadliest of all cancers worldwide.
Another clinical trial found that long-term treatment with the drug Avastin, which cuts off supply of nutrient-rich blood to tumors, may help control progress of advanced ovarian cancer.
Adding radiation therapy to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) was also found to cut by 43 percent the risk of death in men suffering from locally advanced or high-risk prostate cancer.
"We really want to improve the quality of life of the patients with fewer side effects and some of these new approaches really accomplished that," University of Pennsylvania professor of medicine Lynn Schuchter told AFP.
Driving home that point, the ASCO meeting devoted its theme this year to "advancing quality through innovation."
Despite the progress and improvement of care since president Richard Nixon declared war against cancer in 1971, the disease remains far too frequent in the United States.

About TMS
Magnetic stimulation may lift some depression. (Poststroke Patients).: An article from: Clinical Psychiatry News
About TMS
Depression is a big problem for many people. Although I have read recently that people can take control of their minds, learn to refocus, and help themselves with guidance on mind control, some people just can not get control.
This is a great break through because it does not involve the use of medication, that travels thru your body and all your organs. It shows great promise!

3day diet
This works,and you can substitute a broiled small hamburger for the hotdog, or a few slices of roast beef.
the following is one version of the diet: On day one, dieters have half a grapefruit and one slice of toast with one to two tablespoons of peanut butter for breakfast; half a cup of tuna (or chicken) with a slice of toast for lunch; 3 ounces of lean meat, once cup of string beans, one cup of carrots (or beets), one apple and half a cup of vanilla ice cream for dinner
. On day two, dieters eat one egg, half a banana and one slice of toast for breakfast; one cup of cottage cheese and three saltine crackers for lunch; two hot dogs, one cup of broccoli, half a cup of carrots and one cup of vanilla ice cream for dinner
. On day three, dieters eat three saltine crackers, one slice of cheddar cheese and one small apple for breakfast; one hard boiled egg along with a slice of toast for lunch; one cup of tuna, one beet, one cup of cauliflower, half a cup of cantaloupe and half a cup of vanilla ice cream for dinner. There are no snacks in between meals, and with each and every meal, dieters are allowed black coffee, tea or water (some versions also allow diet soda.)
