| Non-Caucasians at higher risk for severe metastatic breast cancer pain
A new study finds significant racial differences in the risk of pain related to metastatic breast cancer. An analysis by Dr. Liana Castel of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and colleagues found that non-whites experience poorer pain control among women with this disease. The study is published in the January 1, 2008 issue of CANCER, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society. Studies indicate that chronic or recurrent pain affects 30 percent of all cancer patients and 60 to 90 percent of patients with advanced cancer. Age, race, tumor type, genetics, psychosocial context, and culture can all affect pain. However, it is unclear how pain is influenced by changes over the course of disease due to factors including radiation, surgery, and chemotherapy.

Saturday night's 6:00 show is probably one of the most unusual shows I have ever anchored. During our first weather “hit", our meteorologist wasn't feeling well… so we dropped the rest of the short weather forecast in the middle of it and went back to some news stories. When we got into the commercial break, I realized that we wouldn't have a meteorologist for the rest of the show… and I had about 60 seconds to figure out how we were going to fill the next 4 minutes that was suppose to be the main weather forecast. I figured “What the heck... I can just read the information off the weather graphics for the folks at home, right?" HA! In the commercial break, I found a wireless microphone, ran over to the weather lab, tried to find some notes about what was going on in the weather...

Israeli Prime Minister Olmert discloses he has 'treatable' prostate ...
Olmert, who is 62, called in reporters Monday and disclosed, calmly and matter-of-factly, that he has a cancerous tumor in his prostate gland, and he will have to undergo surgery to remove it. There is never a good time for such news, but the announcement comes at a particularly sensitive time -- just as preparations are in full swing for a Mideast conference in the U.S., called by President Bush to push Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts forward. Olmert insisted the ailment and its treatment will not detract from his ability to run his country, and U.S. and European officials said his condition was not likely to delay the gathering. Olmert's Palestinian counterpart in the talks, President Mahmoud Abbas himself battled prostate cancer, undergoing surgery in Washington in 2001.
