Natural Healing Tools: Spike in "Aggressive" Brain Cancer in Denmark
The society is not linking the increase to cell phones or to anything else.?"We have no idea what caused it," Poulsen said in a?statement?issued by the Danish Cancer Society on November 2. Both the?Interphone?study and the group led by Sweden's?Lennart Hardell?have?reported?that long-term cell phone use is associated with higher rates of glioma. (Glioblastoma is a type of glioma.) "I think the data is true and valid,"?Christoffer Johansen?of the?Danish Cancer Society?toldMicrowave News.?Johansen is a member of the team that has been working on the?Danish cohort study, which has been investigating the possible links between cell phones and brain tumors. The group has long maintained that there is no association. (For an analysis of the Danish cohort study, follow this?link.)
Like Poulsen, Johansen did not offer any explanation as to what may have led to the increase.
Joachim Sch?z, who used to work at the Danish Cancer Society and is now with?IARC, could not be reached for comment. Sch?z and?Johansen?were members of the Interphone project and work on the?Danish cohort study.?Sch?z has long said that he does not believe that cell phones present a brain tumor risk. One of his main arguments against an association has been that national cancer statistics have stayed relatively stable.
November 9
This morning, we heard from Joachim Sch?z, who is travelling in Asia. He tells us that the news about the increase in glioblastoma is "indeed a concern." Like Johansen, Sch?z does not have an explanation for what may be responsible for the uptick in these aggressive brain tumors, but he does not believe that it is because of better diagnostics.
Sch?z added that he sees "no reason to question the quality of the Danish cohort study."

Home Improvements for Big Spaces
17 hours ago, in Home & Garden
Buying a bigger house block is always a great investment. In fact, you may consider saving money by building your own kit home, so you can spend more on the land. But there is always a difficult balance between enjoying the space and using the space to its full advantage. If you have the big block and aren?t sure what to do with it, here are some ideas:
Vegetable Gardens
Putting in vegetable gardens will see you saving money on produce, as well as giving your kids or grandchildren the thrill of growing their own food. This, in turn, will encourage healthy eating habits.
Depending on the space you have, this might go from a single garden bed to rows of beds. It is possible to build your own beds from scratch using recycled timber or you can put in block beds. Seek advice on types of wood, tin and block that are suitable, as the materials will be exposed to water, fertilisers and plenty of sunshine.
You may also be able to enhance the area with some paving and cut down on mowing between the beds. Consider the location of the garden beds as well and which areas of the yard catch the best sun in all seasons. Installing an irrigation system is an excellent idea to avoid losing produce for want of time to water. Also think about incorporating a compost bin, and possibly even a small garden shed.
Playground and Gazebo
Having a deck or entertaining area set off the back door is a terrific idea, but have you considered a stand-alone staged gazebo in the backyard? A gazebo offers an idyllic shaded spot for meditation, reading and entertaining guests. Gazebos can be landscaped in almost any style, from Balinese to Victorian.
If you?re thinking about adding this type of relaxation area, it may be worth considering putting in a fort or playground close by. A play area for the kids is no longer relegated to a rusty, old swing set. Features that can be added include a giant chequerboard or cubbyhouse. A gazebo with an accompanying playground means you can enjoy a cuppa while the kids blow off some steam in the fresh air.
Pool and Entertaining
Extra space allows you to extend your outdoor living into a pool and entertainment area. As your home flows out into a deck or tiled outdoor kitchen, friends and family can enjoy cooling off in the pool. This sort of area can be used for lunchtime barbeques with the kids, through to evening pool parties with friends.
Consider additions such as a swim-up bar in the pool and outdoor misting fans to keep you comfortable. Maintenance can be kept at a minimum with an array of pool cleaners on the market designed to do the hard work for you. Also consider pool covers to prevent evaporation and nasties entering the pool.
Extension
Creating a feature in the yard is one option, but take into consideration the alternative of adding to your house itself. It may sound expensive; however, if you have some handyman skills, it?s highly likely there is a kit home company that can provide what is essentially a flat-packed room. These companies will work through the planning and design with you and offer advice regarding council approval and building options.
If you have made the investment in some extra land, why not put it to good use and add some value to your property.

President's backers, rivals clash in Egypt
CAIRO (AP) ? Opponents and supporters of Mohammed Morsi clashed across Egypt on Friday, the day after the president granted himself sweeping new powers that critics fear can allow him to be a virtual dictator. At least 15 were reported injured.
In a sign of deepening polarization, state TV reported that protesters burned offices of the political arm of Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood group on several cities on the Suez Canal east of Cairo and in the Mediterranean port city of Alexandria, while Islamists engaged with fistfights with Morsi opponents in southern Egypt.
Tens of thousands of pro-democracy activists meanwhile converged on Cairo's Tahrir Square, angered at the decisions by Morsi. The decrees include exempting himself from judicial review, as well as a panel writing the new constitution and the upper house of parliament, and the power to enact any other measure he deemed necessary to deal with a "threat" to Egypt's "revolution."
Morsi's powers are supposed to be temporary ? until a new constitution and new parliamentary elections take place ? and feed on the belief among the public that judicial officials appointed under ousted President Hosni Mubarak are blocking the reform of state institutions.
The president's supporters cast the decrees as the next logical step to consolidate the gains of the 2011 uprising that overthrew Mubarak, and the only way to break through the political deadlock preventing the adoption of a new constitution. Courts dissolved both parliament and an earlier constitutional assembly earlier this year, and were weighing cases on whether to dissolve it again.
"We are going ahead and no one can stop our march. We are not a fragile nation and I am carrying my duty for the sake of God and my country. I take my decisions after consulting with everybody," the president said, according to the website of the state-owned Akhbar al-Youm newspaper.
But many veteran activists who organized that uprising say Morsi's decree puts him in the same category as Mubarak, who argued his autocratic powers were necessary only to shepherd Egypt to a new democratic future.
Mohamed ElBaradei, former head of the U.N.'s nuclear agency, called Morsi a "new pharaoh." The president's one-time ally, the April 6 movement, warned that the polarization could bring a "civil war." One of Morsi's aides, Coptic Christian thinker Samer Marqous, resigned to protest the "undemocratic" decree.
"This is a crime against Egypt and a declaration of the end of January revolution to serve the interest of the Muslim Brotherhood dictatorship," wrote Ibrahim Eissa, chief editor of daily Al-Tahrir. "The revolution is over and the new dictator has killed her. His next step is to throw Egypt in prison."
The state media described Morsi's decree as a "corrective revolution," and the official radio station aired phone calls from listeners praising the president's decree. In contrast, the privately owned Al-Masry al-Youm newspaper ran a front page headline reading, "Morsi, a dictator, temporarily."
Chants of "Leave, leave" rang across Tahrir Square, echoing the calls from when it was the epicenter of last year's uprising. "Morsi is Mubarak ... Revolution everywhere."
Across town, in front of the presidential palace, Muslim Brotherhood supporters and other Islamists changed "the people support the president's decree" and pumped their fists in the air.
"God will humiliate those who are attacking our president, Mohammed Morsi," said ultraconservative cleric Mohammed Abdel-Maksoud. "Whoever insults the sultan, God humiliates him," he added.
Outside the capital, the rival groups clashed.
Thousands from the two camps threw stones and chunks of marble at each other outside a mosque in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria after Friday Muslim prayers. Anti-Morsi protesters threw stones and firecrackers at supporters of the Brotherhood, who used prayer rugs to shield themselves.
The anti-Morsi protesters stormed a Brotherhood office in front of the mosque. At least 15 people were hurt in the clash, medical officials said.
State TV says Morsi opponents set fire to his party's offices in the Suez Canal cities of Suez, Port Said and Ismailia.
In the southern city of Assiut, ultraconservative Islamists of the Salafi tend and former Jihadists outnumbered liberal and leftists, such as the April 6 youth groups. The two sides exchanged insults and briefly scuffled with firsts and stones.
The rocky post-Mubarak transition, now in its second year, has seen tensions rising between Islamists and their partners in the uprising, liberals, leftists, and other youth groups.
Since Mubarak's departure, Islamists have dominated elections for parliament and president, while the young, mostly secular liberal activists have performed comparatively poorly.
They have since complained of being marginalized in the drafting of the constitution and their frustration has spilled over several times. Rallies this week in Cairo marking the anniversary of bloody 2011 protests against Egypt's then-military rulers turned violent, with demonstrators throwing rocks and firebombs and security forces firing birdshot and tear gas.
Both sides are frustrated with the inability of Egypt's prosecutors, mostly Mubarak holdovers, to successfully convict police and others ? including the ousted president himself ? for the killings of protesters during the 2011 uprising.
In a gesture aimed at the youth groups, Morsi's decrees included the retrial of Mubarak and top aides on charges of killing protesters, and the creation of a new "protection of the revolution" judicial body to swiftly carry them out.
He did not order retrials for lower level police acquitted in the killings, seen by his critics as a move to retain the support of the police.

Facebook to share data with Instagram, loosen email rules
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Facebook Inc is proposing to combine user data with that of recently acquired photo-sharing service Instagram, and will loosen restrictions on emails between members of the social network.
Facebook also said on Wednesday it is proposing to scrap a 4-year old process that can allow the social network's roughly 1 billion users to vote on changes to its policies and terms of services.
Facebook said it may share information between its own service and other businesses or affiliates that Facebook owns to "help provide, understand, and improve our services and their own services."
One of Facebook's most significant affiliate businesses is Instagram, a photo-sharing service for smartphone users that Facebook acquired in October for roughly $715 million.
The change could open the door for Facebook to build unified profiles of its users that include people's personal data from its social network and from Instagram, similar to recent moves by Google Inc. In January, Google said it would combine users' personal information from its various Web services - such as search, email and the Google+ social network - to provide a more customized experience.
Google's unified data policy raised concerns among some privacy advocates and regulators, who said it was an invasion of people's privacy. A group of 36 U.S. state attorney generals also warned in a letter to Google that consolidating so much personal information in one place could put people at greater risk from hackers and identity thieves.
Facebook also wants to loosen the restrictions on how members of the social network can contact other members using the Facebook email system.
Facebook said it wanted to eliminate a setting for users to control who can contact them. The company said it planned to replace the "Who can send you Facebook messages" setting with new filters for managing incoming messages.
Asked whether such a change could leave Facebook users exposed to a flood of unwanted, spam-like messages, Facebook spokesman Andrew Noyes said that the company carefully monitors user interaction and feedback to find ways to enhance the user experience.
"We are working on updates to Facebook Messages and have made this change in our Data Use Policy in order to allow for improvements to the product," Noyes said.
Facebook's changes come as the world's largest social networking company with roughly 1 billion users has experienced a sharp slowdown in revenue growth. The company generates the bulk of its revenue from advertising on its website.
The changes are open to public comment for the next seven days. If the proposed changes generate more than 7,000 public comments, Facebook's current terms of service automatically trigger a vote by users to approve the changes. But the vote is only binding if at least 30 percent of users take part, and two prior votes never reached that threshold.
Facebook has said in that past that it was rethinking the voting system and on Wednesday Facebook moved to eliminate the vote entirely, noting that it hasn't functioned as intended and is no longer suited to its current situation as a large publicly traded company subject to oversight by various regulatory agencies.
"We found that the voting mechanism, which is triggered by a specific number of comments, actually resulted in a system that incentivized the quantity of comments over their quality," Elliot Schrage, Facebook's vice president of communications, public policy and marketing, said in a blog post on Wednesday.
Instead of the vote, Facebook will look for other forms of user feedback on changes, such as an "Ask the Chief Privacy Officer" question-and-answer forum on its website as well as live webcasts about privacy, safety and security.
Facebook, Google and other online companies have faced increasing scrutiny and enforcement from privacy regulators as consumers entrust ever-increasing amounts of information about their personal lives to Web services.
In April, Facebook settled privacy charges with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission that it had deceived consumers and forced them to share more personal information than they intended. Under the settlement, Facebook is required to get user consent for certain changes to its privacy settings and is subject to 20 years of independent audits.

Lawmakers re-elect chamber leaders; Pelosi aims to stay
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. lawmakers in both parties on Wednesday re-elected most of their leaders for the upcoming new Congress while Nancy Pelosi ended some suspense by announcing she would seek to remain the top Democrat in the House of Representatives.
In the Senate, Republicans re-elected Mitch McConnell as their leader, notwithstanding his failure to achieve two top goals in last week's national elections, defeating President Barack Obama and gaining a Republican majority in the Senate.
Senator John Cornyn, who headed the Senate Republican Campaign Committee, ended up with a promotion, getting elected without opposition to replace retiring Senator Jon Kyl of Arizona as the chamber's minority whip.
House Speaker John Boehner was re-elected as expected to lead his party in the House, which means the full House will re-elect him as speaker in January.
Eric Cantor was re-elected to the post of House Republican leader, and Cathy McMorris Rodgers, a rising political star and currently vice chair of the House Republican Conference, defeated Tom Price to head the conference.
McMorris Rodgers, the highest ranking woman in Republican leadership, served as House liaison for the party's unsuccessful presidential nominee, Mitt Romney.
The 112th Congress, now in a post-election lame duck session, will become the 113th Congress in January before Obama is inaugurated for his second term. The leaders chosen on Wednesday are to serve through 2014.
Pelosi, like McConnell, fell short of her election ambitions last week as Republicans maintained their hold on the U.S. House of Representatives.
But she ended months of speculation about whether she would seek another two-year term as House Democratic leader, saying she had decided in the past 24 hours after consulting with colleagues and family.
First elected as the top House Democrat on November 2002, Pelosi's reign has included four years as the chamber's first and only woman speaker. It ended in 2011 after Republicans won control of the House and made John Boehner speaker.
As of early Wednesday, Pelosi's decision on whether to seek another term as Democratic leader remained a secret with top aides saying it remained unclear what she would do.
She first told fellow House Democrats at a private meeting and then publicly announced it at a news conference.
"Being actively involved in politics at this level is really insatiable," said Pelosi.
Many Democrats had urged her to stay and she seems certain to win the job in House Democratic leadership elections set for November 29.
PELOSI BRISTLES
Pelosi bristled when asked by a reporter about the top three Democratic leadership spots being held by members in their 70s, and if that prevents an injection of younger blood into the ranks.
Amid hisses and boos from fellow House Democratic women, Pelosi asked if anyone had posed that question to McConnell, 70. None did at his news conference.
Without opposition, McConnell won reelection as the top Senate Republican despite having failed to win back the chamber from Democrats, who have held it since 2007.
McConnell's bad election day drew fire last week from some on the political right, who have complained that he is not conservative enough.
Senator Marco Rubio, a favorite of the anti-Washington Tea Party movement, stepped forward, however, to formally nominate McConnell for another two-year term as the party's Senate leader.
"Mitch unifies all of us, regardless of philosophy or what part of the country we come from," Rubio told a closed-door meeting of his colleagues, a Rubio aide said.
"He's the smartest political mind around and a great listener," Rubio added. "Mitch cares about is whether we succeed as a conference and as a country."
Senate Democrats re-elected their leadership team, which includes Harry Reid as leader and Dick Durbin as his assistant leader.
Reid said that he would like to reduce scores of procedural roadblocks, led by McConnell, that have blocked much of Obama's agenda the past two years.
Reid has said he wants to make sure that the Senate can easily begin consideration of a bill, but would still allow Republicans to require the support of 60 of the chamber's 100 members to end debate and move to a vote on passage.
"We're going to make an attempt to change the rules," said Reid. "We are working to make sure we have the votes to do it."
At the start of a new Congress, Reid would need just a simply majority. But some Democrats may oppose a rules change, knowing that eventually they will be in the minority and may regret a rule change.

The article also discusses the impact of your brand as every aspect of what?s publicized or viewed by the public will build a perception, good or less complimentary, of you and your business. I also highlight how a well-defined branding statement builds a positive expectation about working with you.
I have also included information on how important it is to market your business by sharing valuable information and education your prospective clients; not just delivering a highly promotional sales presentation. Consumers large tune out when they feel they?re being sold something, and that?s I have highlighted ways to build trust through education.
Once your brand is developed, used in all your outbound marketing, and is starting to be recognized in the marketplace, it?s time to protect your brand. The brand article at the Staging University will give you a tool through which you can monitor everything that?s being said about your business online, and therefore enable you to quickly take action to protect your brand.
I hope these tools will be helpful as you develop your very own unique brand.
