New reported cases in 2009 192,280 new cases were reported unfortunately there were also 27,360 deaths which occurred. The prostate is about one inch in diameter gland located at the bottom of the bladder. It weighs roughly 20 grams and is comprised of gland, muscle, fibrous and vascular tissue. Regardless of it's tiny size it can be the foundation for a life-threatening condition known as prostate cancer. Men 90 years of age and older upon their death autopsy's showed signs of prostate cancer. Researchers in March of 2010 found that infertile men may have greater chances of developing vigorous prostate cancer.

SAVE THE PIGEONS OF VENICE, ITALY -SALVARE I COLOMBI DI VENEZIA

Target: The Mayor of Venice Massimo Cacciari and all decision makers in Venice, Italy Sponsored by: Irene Katsouri This is a petition for abolishing the new law in Venice (Italy) that forbids people to feed pigeons in the WHOLE city and if one is caught throwing crumbs to the birds is fined. The Venetian community has also ordered the killing of thousands of pigeons. The purpose of this law is to reduce the number of pigeons in order to protect the historical monuments, but to reduce it by letting the pigeons die of starvation or by killing them is cruel and inhuman. The historical monuments could be protected in different ways, e.g. by fixing spines or wires on the buildings that prevent pigeons from perching on them and by cleaning the monuments regularly with water. Pigeons could also be fed with sterilizing medicines so that their number remained under control. Regarding the common fears that pigeons could be dangerous for public health, expert vets (e.g. Enrico Moriconi, ...

I had written a article which for public information as most of you are aware was one the leading news stories nation wide. Are School Lunches Becoming A Security Threat. There were a lot of freelance reporters covering this story, I was one of them that had it assigned to me. I had received a comment from a person who did not drink the stupid water or fall in it, they were just plain rude and ignorant.

I always said when I knew it was the time I would know it. Yesterday was one of those days that somehow ended up with reflections of the past, present and future. I had gone on Page Readers to give a interview with Nanci. I completely enjoyed being on her show. If you have not heard her shows I suggest you take a listen. We talked about my books especially Love And Laughter Trilogy and the cancer work I am involved in. Left me in a good mood. Reflections of the past of Sam was hard. As I stated just as think it is behind me it comes back. I will never forget the day I had found him. The day I watched him being placed in body body and the funeral home putting him on gurney and taking him out of our home, never to return. I will always remember the paramedics and how his body jumped when they tried to shock him back. I will remember that short lived moment when there was a small beat then how all went straight. How the dark clouds were now moving in. How my life was about to change. Tim...
