2021 SIPS Strategic Plan
The SIPS community has initiated development of a new strategic plan. In line with the recommendations of the recent external program review, the plan will have a SIPS-wide focus. The purpose of this planning process is to define where we want SIPS to be in the next 5-10 years. This is the time to think outside the box and be aspirational. All feedback is anonymous. For reference, The 2015 strategic plan developed concurrent with the creation of SIPS can be viewed here.
As a follow-up to the diversity audit and climate survey in 2017 and the town hall this summer, this survey includes an opportunity to suggest future steps for increasing diversity and inclusion in SIPS. Another climate survey is planned for 2020. Information on diversity within SIPS can be viewed here.
November 2020: Survey sent to SIPS faculty, graduate students, post-docs, and technical & administrative staff
Responses have been condensed and duplications removed for more efficient review of the breadth of responses. Survey response summary

Any major storm systems are being blocked from getting close to Northern Michigan by a high pressure system centered over the Green Bay, Wisconsin area. The wintry weather over Minnesota, Iowa and eastern South Dakoa will dive to the south and avoid the Great Lakes region. A greater amount of clearing is expected early Friday.
High temperatures Wednesday got up to 37 degrees in Alpena, 36 degrees in Cheboygan, Michigan and 38 degrees in Saginaw, Michigan. These values are about 10 degrees above normal, considered “warm” for early January! Light winds from the north will bring slightly cooler temperatures into our area Thursday and Friday, still marginally above normal.
Thursday: Mostly cloudy and a little cooler. Early-morning temperatures will start out near 24 degrees. Afternoon highs will reach about 30 degrees. Evening temperatures will be in the middle/lower 20s.
Friday: More sunshine likely, although starting with a cooler morning. Predawn lows will drop to the upper teens. Late-morning temperatures will rise to the middle 20s. Afternoon highs will be near 29 degrees. Evening temperatures will dip to the lower 20s.
Saturday: Increasing cloud cover. Early-morning temperatures will begin in the upper teens. Temperatures will climb to the middle 20s in the late-morning. Afternoon highs will get up to around 32 degrees. Evening temperatures will be in the upper/middle 20s.
Highs over the weekend will reach the lower 30s both Saturday and Sunday — several degrees above normal. Temperatures warmer than normal will likely continue past the weekend. The temperature outlook issued by the Climate Prediction Center for Monday through Friday of next week shows a good chance of above-normal temperatures over Northern Michigan, much of the Upper Midwest and Upper Plains. “Above normal” might not necessarily feel warm, highs in the 30s would qualify as “above normal” this time of year.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has offered an explanation after some people said that their £150 cost of living payment - due between June and July - had been paid now. The boost, provided by the Government for those on some benefits, led to people thinking that a second payment was due that they didn't know about.
But while some may have had their hopes up that they were getting double the amount they originally thought, it was a false alarm. The DWP confirmed that only one payment has been made this year.
Some people are being paid now because they have claimed for and been found to be eligible for benefits on April 1, 2023. The payments can be backdated, so people who were eligible on that date but only claimed recently have only just been paid their £150, reports the Mirror.
People may also receive the money after the original timeframe if they changed the account their benefits are paid into. Most people claiming certain disability benefits, including Personal Independence Payment and Attendance Allowance, received the cash between June 20, 2023 and July 4, 2023.
A DWP spokesperson told Birmingham Live: "Some customers who have become retrospectively entitled were paid into their requested account today. The DWP regularly reviews people's entitlements to ensure they receive the correct payments and a change of benefit circumstances or a request for backdating when a claim is processed can lead to retrospective entitlement. We undertake these exercises periodically even if the claimant did not contact us to inform us of a missing payment."
Who is eligible for the £150 cost of living payment?
The disability cost of living payment is for those who receive any of the following:
Constant Attendance Allowance
Disability Living Allowance for adults
Disability Living Allowance for children
Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
Adult Disability Payment (the replacement for PIP in Scotland)
Child Disability Payment (the replacement for DLA in Scotland)
Armed Forces Independence Payment
War Pension Mobility Supplement
The £150 disability cost of living payment is awarded automatically - so you don't need to apply for it. It also does not affect any other benefits you have and is non-taxable.
When is the next cost of living payment?
The next cost of living payment is £300 for people on income-based benefits such as Universal Credit. The full cost of living payment schedule for 2023/2024 is as follows:
- £301 paid between April 25 and May 17 for people on the DWP means-tested benefits Universal Credit, Income-based JSA, Income-based ESA, Income Support, Pension Credit - qualifying dates were January 26 to February 25
- £301 paid between May 2 and 9 for people on HMRC tax credits and no DWP means-tested benefits - qualifying dates were January 26 to February 25
- £150 paid between June 20 and July 4 for people on disability benefits - qualifying date was April 1

Think that the title of this blog entry is far-fetched... Think Again!! In a series called Conspiracy Theory, former Governor Jesse Ventura brings to light some interesting stuff. I was not thinking I was going to be persuaded too much by this series of 3 videos. The videos themselves were eye opening, but what hooked me is it got me going to Government websites to research what was being said...And in most cases, I was able to find documentation that proved what he was talking about. Rather than me go on and on about this. Watch the 3 videos..They are riveting!! He actually confronts a Senator who Co-Sponsored the bill for the FEMA facilities..Which happen to under the supervision of Homeland Security? Whats up with that?... Anyway you will laugh at the dumb ass senator when he gives his answer..nothing short of Ludicrous!!
Not to be confused with the Rapper Ludacris who has a hell of a lot more intelligence!! Do not get me wrong!! I love my country, but do not trust my government. Once you watch the 3 videos, please go to read about the Executive Order That Mr. Ventura mentions I found it at the Official White House Site. HOLY SHIT THE BED MARGARET!! Another part Jesse mentions is that Senators are signing off on other senators bills for favors to their own Party or to gain something for their district. But too many shady deals will sink America. This brings up my case for term limits for congress.. career politicians in my opinion are ripe for corruption and before they get tempted...BOOT THEM OUT!!
Now..I know you are thinking That I am an absolute Nutter for even looking at this conspiracy...BUT, stranger things have happened and the pieces are there, just the right person would have to put them in the right places at the right times and folks...we could lose it all. This is all happening right out in the open, but you do not know about it, Hitler came to power in a legitimate fashion, but once he got there..well, we all know what happened next. I am not saying Mr. Obama is Hitler...One never knows who might end up president in the event of assassination(s)?
I do know this, It appears that Homeland Security has way too much Authority and needs to have it's wings clipped back a little. They seem to be running amok and this is what scares me. There is a plethora of information out there, just do a Google Search for REX 84 and start from there. Keep an open mind..as some of the folks who write about this kind of stuff are NUTS. Mainly look for government sources...they do not seem to be hiding it.

If you Voted Republican for Change...This is how your brain must feel now!!
(Newser) – Well, that was fast. Republicans are already backpedaling on a number of provisions of their “Pledge to America,” including promises to cut spending and reform Congressional rules. The GOP had railed against Democrats’ strong-arm legislative tactics, pledging to send all bills through a full committee process and to “let any lawmaker—Democrat or Republican—offer amendments.” Yet with its very first act—health care reform repeal—it will break both pledges, Politico reports.
Republicans also haven’t put the constitutional citations they promised on any early bills, though they say they may add them later when the bill hits the floor. The GOP has also ditched a promise to publicly reveal who attends committee meetings, something that could be used against reps who play hooky. Oh, and that pledge to cut $100 billion in spending in the first year? They’ve admitted that’s not actually feasible, the AP reports, thanks to the vagaries of the budget cycle.
(Read the entire article at the highlighted link at beginning)
When a political entity has to come at you with a gimmick such as the Republicans did, with their "Pledge to America" I knew we were screwed. After reading through the document, any sensible person could come to only one conclusion... The Republicans wanted their license to steal renewed!! They wanted less supervision and oversight to make it easier to get their hand in the cookie jar. They preached...Bipartisan workmanship is what we will do to restore the people's faith in the government. Then November 3rd after the election Republican Senator Mitch McConnell announces that the only way the Republicans see they are going to get any thing done is to get a Republican President elected in 2012?
Excuse me..that is not bipartisan workmanship.. That to me is the usual Asshole Vs. Asshole politics and the average citizen be damned. So why make all these promises to America for transparency, like a list of who attends votes and committee meetings and such? Because it can come back and bite them on the butt, it sounds good on paper, but they do not really want to do it for you. THEY DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO WORK THAT HARD, look at what they have done to keep the Bush tax Cuts for the wealthiest...they sold America down the river to keep their money, but were going to let people who had no job and had ran out of unemployment benefits starve..Right before the holiday season.... That takes some gall to do that to your fellow countrymen.
Thank You Mr. Obama for compromising with these Opportunistic Jackals and not allowing Americans to starve during the holiday and winter season..especially the way the winter has turned out. Folks..there is no doubt that America needs to be repaired..but it doesn't happen overnight. We being a society used to instant gratification do not have the will nor the staying power to get the job done anymore and that is really sad..How will America realize it's true potential in the future if we think this way?.
I will leave you with thought...what happens when you drink too much tea?..........You run to the bathroom and it goes right through you..Hopefully the Tea party and the Republicans can be flushed through our system in 2012...We have set a term limit on the office of president... maybe it is time to limit congress persons to 8 years so we do not have these folks get so entrenched that they stagnate our political system. People shed skin everyday to expose healthy new skin it's a natural process...Just something to think about!!

Paruku The Desert Brumby by Jesse Blackadder (HarperCollins)
PB RRP $14.99
Reviewed by Hazel Edwards
Jesse Blackadder's books have well researched settings, whether Antarctica or historical Scotland. Her audience has now extended to younger readers with the animal series which started with 'STAY, the Last Dog in Antarctica'.These are 'faction', involving stories, dramatised around fact. The realistic detail of seeking the outback brumbies to fulfil the Sheik's contract, from a young girl's perspective, especially when accompanied by her vet father, is credible in 'Paruka:The Desert Brumby'
Family relationships are well drawn but it's the horse details which will make 'Paruka The Desert Brumby' the kind of novel, 10-15 year old horse-mad girls will recommend to each other. And even the ones who are not horse-mad. Authentic outback detail and a subtle way of opening up some broader issues of ownership of natural resources.
The inserts written from the viewpoint of the brumbies are beautifully written. Poetic and sustained.

It’s easy to remember a household name’s interview or a two-time UFC champion’s post-fight celebration, but stepping into a promotion as a complete stranger to the base of fans and being the talk of the town years later is a definite accomplishment for only true entertainers.
Regardless of what’s at stake, Cook remembers Barnett as a fighter’s fighter as much as he’s an artist’s artist, with as much heart and skill as he does pace.
“Even though he wants to win for himself, he really fights to entertain. I think you see him in every one of his fights and he talks about it very openly in every one of his post-fight interviews,” said Cook: “I think he would do the same if he was fighting in front of ten people in Muskogee, Oklahoma. I just think that’s who he is. He is an artist at heart.
Order UFC 280: Oliveira vs. Makhachev today!
Barnett isn’t the only notable name to have stopped in the XFN cage, as Jimmy Flick, Bella Mir, Greg Hardy, Kyle Crutchmer and more have all shown their skills in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Cook is proud. to say he’s definitely not the last fighter to take the UFC by storm.
“I think [Nick] Piccininni has a lot of potential,” Cook said. “He’s in a weight class where there aren’t a lot of guys. I think he could be the next star on the MMA side.
It won’t be long before XFN delivers another head-turning star. Will it be Piccininni or another kickboxer going from the 8-man main event to stardom?

Even though some drivers find the practice morbid, Tennessee will continue regular display of the fatality count on overhead signs.
Fewer people lost their lives on Tennessee roadways in 2013, but traffic safety officials say fatalities would drop considerably more if drivers and passengers buckled up.
As a result, the state is shifting its focus to encouraging seat-belt usage. About 84.6 percent of Tennesseans use their seat belts, slightly less than the national average. For three years, traffic fatality investigations revealed about 50 percent of victims were not wearing seat belts.
"That means over half of our fatalities come from 15 percent of our people," Governor's Highway Safety Office Director Kendell ...

Commissioned by Moët & Chandon, Es Devlin creates “Your Voices” kinetic sculpture to celebrate people connection and diversity.
In the spirit of the holiday season, Moët & Chandon is organizing a series of global celebrations in more than 20 cities around the world, bringing people together to celebrate connection and diversity. All the towns, especially New York, have a long-standing relationship with Mason. For the occasion, Moët & Chandon launched “Your Voices”, a public sculpture by British contemporary artist Es Devlin, installed at Lincoln Center’s Josie Robertson Plaza to celebrate cultural ties in the most linguistically diverse place in the planet, New York, where more than 700 languages are currently spoken.
The dynamic sculpture is comprised of 700 luminous strings representing the 700 languages currently spoken in New York City, which are stretched in a series of structural arcs, enveloping the viewer in a swirling illuminated web as they spin north, south, east and west through multilingual support. Soundscapes that include languages from all over the city: from Algerian Arabic, Alsatian, Azeri and Ashanti to Zapotec, Zarma and Zulu.
The book responds to the observation of anthropologist Wade Davies: “Every language is an old growth forest of the mind, a watershed of thought, an entire ecosystem of spiritual possibilities.
As the sculpture rotates, it acts as a lens between the viewer and their surroundings. The viewer’s perspective is divided and framed by the changing strands of the sculpture as it bends, the way our perspectives are enriched and shaped by the experience of others’ linguistic structures and identities, a soundscape composed by composers contemporaries, polyphony, including EM Forster’s 1910 novel Howards Fin. The powerful text of is translated into several overlaid languages: “Only connect, and live in fragments no longer.”
Every language is a vast library of cultural, historical, and biological knowledge accumulated over centuries, and New York is a living language library. The brilliant tone of this work aims to draw our attention to the complex beauty of New York’s linguistic diversity and to celebrate its vital role in the resilience and civic sustainability of the city and its future. The work was carried out in collaboration with the Endangered Languages Alliance. Their interactive map details the location of each language and its speakers in the city: https://languagemap.nyc

Apigenin induces apoptosis through proteasomal degradation of HER2/neu in HER2/neu-overexpressing breast cancer cells via the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt-dependent pathway.. Tzong-Der Way; Ming-Ching Kao; Jen-Kun Lin (2004) The Journal of biological chemistry display abstract
Apigenin is a low toxicity and non-mutagenic phytopolyphenol and protein kinase inhibitor. It exhibits anti-proliferating effects on human breast cancer cells. Here we examined several human breast cancer cell lines having different levels of HER2/neu expression and found that apigenin exhibited potent growth-inhibitory activity in HER2/neu-overexpressing breast cancer cells but was much less effective for those cells expressing basal levels of HER2/neu. Induction of apoptosis was also observed in HER2/neu-overexpressing breast cancer cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. However, the one or more molecular mechanisms of apigenin-induced apoptosis in HER2/neu-overexpressing breast cancer cells remained to be elucidated. A cell survival pathway involving phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), and Akt is known to play an important role in inhibiting apoptosis in response to HER2/neu-overexpressing breast cancer cells, which prompted us to investigate whether this pathway plays a role in apigenin-induced apoptosis in HER2/neu-overexpressing breast cancer cells. Our results showed that apigenin inhibits Akt function in tumor cells in a complex manner. First, apigenin directly inhibited the PI3K activity while indirectly inhibiting the Akt kinase activity. Second, inhibition of HER2/neu autophosphorylation and transphosphorylation resulting from depleting HER2/neu protein in vivo was also observed. In addition, apigenin inhibited Akt kinase activity by preventing the docking of PI3K to HER2/HER3 heterodimers. Therefore, we proposed that apigenin-induced cellular effects result from loss of HER2/neu and HER3 expression with subsequent inactivation of PI3K and AKT in cells that are dependent on this pathway for cell proliferation and inhibition of apoptosis. This implies that the inhibition of the HER2/HER3 heterodimer function provided an especially effective strategy for blocking the HER2/neu-mediated transformation of breast cancer cells. Our results also demonstrated that apigenin dissociated the complex of HER2/neu and GRP94 that preceded the depletion of HER2/neu. Apigenin-induced degradation of mature HER2/neu involves polyubiquitination of HER2/neu and subsequent hydrolysis by the proteasome.
Apigenin inhibits VEGF and HIF-1 expression via PI3K/AKT/p70S6K1 and HDM2/p53 pathways.. Jing Fang; Chang Xia; Zongxian Cao; Jenny Z Zheng; Eddie Reed; Bing-Hua Jiang (2005) The FASEB journal : official publication of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology display abstract
Apigenin is a nontoxic dietary flavonoid that has been shown to possess anti-tumor properties and therefore poses special interest for the development of a novel chemopreventive and/or chemotherapeutic agent for cancer. Ovarian cancer is one of the most common causes of cancer death among women. Here we demonstrate that apigenin inhibits expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in human ovarian cancer cells. VEGF plays an important role in tumor angiogenesis and growth. We found that apigenin inhibited VEGF expression at the transcriptional level through expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1alpha (HIF-1alpha). Apigenin inhibited expression of HIF-1alpha and VEGF via the PI3K/AKT/p70S6K1 and HDM2/p53 pathways. Apigenin inhibited tube formation in vitro by endothelial cells. These findings reveal a novel role of apigenin in inhibiting HIF-1 and VEGF expression that is important for tumor angiogenesis and growth, identifying new signaling molecules that mediate this regulation.
Effect of three flavones on enzyme activity of recombinant human phosphoinositide 3-kinase p110beta catalytic subunit. Wen Liu; Nian-Ci Liang; Ren-Bin Huang (2006) Zhong yao cai display abstract
OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of three flavones-luteolin, apigenin and genistein on activity of recombinant human phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3-K) p110beta catalytic subunit. METHODS: Recombinant human P13-K p110beta catalytic subunit was expressed by gene engineering. PI3-K activity was assayed by incubation recombinant PI3-K p110beta with phosphatidylinostiol-4,5-bisphosphate and [gamma-32P] ATP; the 32P-radiolabeled lipids were extracted with cholroform and methanol, and assessed by scintillation counter. RESULTS: Luteolin and apigenin showed inhibition on the recombinant p110beta catalytic subunit with IC50 8. 65 micromol/L and 11.56 micromol/L, but genistein had no inhibition. CONCLUSION: Luteolin and apigenin are inhibitors of P13-K. The recombinant P13-K p1100 catalytic subunit may be used as a molecular target for simpler screening and development of more effective inhibitors of P13-K.

After playing Pokémon Yellow for several hours, I started to think about my favourite Pokémon music. While a vast majority of my favourite Pokémon music comes from the first generation of games, I do like the music in the other games and in order to spread it out a bit more, I decided to make a list of my Top 10 Pokémon Town Themes! This way I was bound to feature more music from games other than from the first generation. Town music is a huge factor in RPGs and the Pokémon series knows just how to get you to remember a place purely based off of the music. Let’s start with my Number 10 spot!
10. Mistralton City – Pokémon Black/White
This song is super upbeat and fun with a little bit of mystery. This song really gets you pumped and ready for battle! Although I admit that my time with the Black/White generation of games is a little blurry, this song is definitely a standout. It suits the game so much and really makes you want to keep going on your adventure.
9. Littleroot Town- Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald
I really like this song as a starting point to the games. The origin town themes are supposed to be calm and soothing, but this one to me is a standout. Peaceful and innocent – basically you when you start the game! You don’t know much about Pokémon yet and you are pretty naive, and this theme gets that point across. You want to start your adventure, but you’re a little scared (with excitement!). It’s overall just a very pleasant theme to listen to.
Here is the updated version of the song for the re-releases, Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby. I actually like the original version best!
8. Sootopolis City – Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald
This song is a little sad, but somehow remains a little upbeat. It’s sort of tragic in a way. There is something about it I just love! I also love the layout of Sootopolis, just a really unique place to be in the game. Perhaps because the city is tucked away like that, it is a little sad.
Here is the updated version of the song from the re-releases, Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby. Both are great, but the original is a bit more raw, and I like that.
7. Violet City/Olivine City – Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal
Upbeat, childish, and oh so Game Boy. This theme is comforting and so damn happy. I don’t know what it is, but it’s just such a charming little song. It’s such a true Pokémon song.
The updated version from Heart Gold/Soul Silver is nice, but it doesn’t capture the magic that the original theme has.
6. Ecruteak City/Cianwood City – Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal
This song has all the feels – and I think it’s more from the anime than it is from the game. Although the game version is excellent and very soothing and peaceful, it is the anime theme that is incredible.
Whenever songs are orchestrated, they are usually better and in the case of this song, the orchestra brings out the true emotion of the song. This is why I love the Pokémon anime so much – the music. They truly bring it in the music department. For a 20 minute show, the music is honestly phenomenal. When it truly picks up, it’s an incredibly emotional piece. It’s more than just ‘Ecruteak City’, it’s the adventure you embark on as a trainer.
5. Laverre City – Pokémon X/Y
A fantastic waltz from the Pokémon X/Y series. The music to this game was really incredible and also sounds amazing for a handheld video game. This song is romantic, a little quirky, and just really charming. Check out the anime version:
It just has more power due to the orchestra used, but again, the game version is excellent.
4. Snowbelle City – Pokémon X/Y
Another moving piece of music and to my surprise again, from the latest entries. Sometimes I forget how great the Pokémon series is as a whole and have to remember that X and Y gave us some fantastic music. Mature at times, but still innocent.
The track from the anime is just as moving, if not more. Another incredible waltz.
3. Azalea Town/Blackthorn City – Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal
This song reminds me of being a kid, no worries, and just hanging out at recess playing Pokémon. I always associate my true ‘kid’ years (age 10) with Pokémon, and this song seems to capture that magic perfectly. Although Gold and Silver aren’t as nostalgic to me, this song somehow captures the nostalgia perfectly.
2. Lavender Town – Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow
Now, this song is usually everyone’s top spot, but for me, I was thinking realistically, which would I rather listen to all the time on repeat? The one I picked for #1 or Lavender Town? Honestly, as much as Lavender Town is incredible and everyone’s #1 for a reason, I don’t realistically want to hear it on repeat. It is a great song though and is absolutely creepy. It fits the town perfectly. This has got to be one of the best horror-themed songs in a video game due to its simplicity combined with the eerie key. It’s almost stoic. It’s incredibly nostalgic for me and the only town theme from the original series to make it on the list! The Pokémon music from Generation 1 is incredible, but when it comes to town themes, so many of the other games have it beat. Lavender Town should honestly be on everyone’s list because it’s original and unique.
The orchestral version of Lavender Town is pretty damn creepy and there is honestly SO much you can do with this theme. The addition of the choir certainly makes it even spookier!
Again, every version you find is a little different and they are all fantastic. Just overall an amazing piece of music.
1. Cyllage City – Pokémon X/Y
We now come to my #1 spot, Cyllage City! This song is honestly just the best. It’s very 80s/90s fusion mixed with modern beats and middle eastern influence. It makes me think of being on a bicycle in a huge city and going on your adventure. It’s fun, but it’s so damn cool. I could listen to this on repeat for hours. This is just the ultimate song for me from the series, and oddly enough, it happens to be from the most recent games. I’ll admit that is shocking to me, but it goes to show that the series continues to release awesome music. I would love to hear a true live version of this or even just an orchestrated version.
Interestingly, I never ended up with any songs from Gen IV, Pokémon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum. While the games themselves are great, it may be the generation of Pokémon that doesn’t stand out to me.
With Pokémon Sun & Moon coming out soon, I am so excited to hear what they have to offer in the music department. Perhaps my list will change and some Sun/Moon tracks will appear on the list in the future! I sure hope so because the music from the Pokémon series is quite good. More Pokémon music lists to come (because I love lists SO MUCH and I love Pokémon!)!
What are your favourite town themes from the Pokémon series?

A campaign calling for an increase in funding for mental health services in England has been launched.
Over 200 celebrities have backed the push for mental health to be treated as seriously as other illnesses.
It was launched by former mental health minister Norman Lamb, Conservative MP Andrew Mitchell and former Labour spin doctor Alastair Campbell.
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said treatment had made "great strides" but more could be done to improve services.
The government increased overall mental health funding to £11.7bn in 2014/15.
But Mr Lamb said people with mental ill health "don't get the same right to access treatment on a timely basis that everyone else gets". He called it a "historic injustice."
His son was diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder at the age of 15 and Mr Campbell has spoken about his battle with depression.
Inequality in care
The NHS became officially responsible for ensuring the standard of care for the mentally ill was equal to that of physically ill people in 2012.
In the spring, the government pledged an extra £1.25bn largely for children's mental health over the next five years.

SUSQUEHANNA: East Prospect grabs pair of crucial walk-off wins over Jacobus
EAST PROSPECT — It seems that the unusual becomes usual whenever Jacobus and East Prospect square off this season.
They've traded first place on consecutive nights.
Weather and/or darkness continually postpones and/or suspends games.
And when they do complete games, there's often late-inning heroics.
The top two teams in the Susquehanna League always keep things interesting.
Such was certainly the case when the Pistons and Jackals met Wednesday evening, looking to finish up their regular-season showdowns. Both teams were looking to take charge of the league as the season winds down.
It started with a suspended contest from last Thursday.
It began with East Prospect pitcher Hunter McVey throwing four scoreless innings of the resumed contest that was tied at 3-3 after six frames. It ended with McVey, who almost never gets to bat, driving in the game-winning run in a 4-3 triumph.
A few hours later, history repeated itself. Pistons' starter Dylan Stoops, who gutted through a battle with arm fatigue, won the second game in the bottom of the ninth with a bases-loaded walk in what was a 5-4 victory for the home team.
Trailing the Jackals by a half game entering the night, the Pistons (20-4) moved to a 1 1/2-game lead atop the standings with the sweep of Jacobus (19-6).
"This is truly baseball right here," said Stoops, who threw more than 110 pitches. "Against this team (Jacobus) all year, we've had rainouts, re-starting games and postponing them a week or so later and then having to play two, like we did tonight. It's like these two teams are so close that it's not that no one wants to win, it's just that it seems like no one can win."
Nightcap: It appeared to be headed that way on several occasions in the nightcap. Leading 2-1 heading into the sixth, Jacobus starter Kerry Clark surrendered the lead when Sean Rigney stroked a RBI double to left. Moments later Clayton Miller singled in Rigney to put the Pistons up 3-2.
But if those in attendance were really expecting that to hold up, they haven't really paid attention to recent history. With two outs in the seventh, Brian Crimmel singled to left. Teammate Brian Hudish followed with a grounder to second that should have ended the game. The ball, however, skipped past the fielder, which allowed Crimmel to score. Two batters later it was Riley Hamberger who singled in Hudish to put the visitors ahead 4-3.
That set the stage for the home team to again stage a comeback against reliever Mike Crowe. After an error allowed Ryan Saxman to reach base to begin the inning, Saxman was bunted to second for the first out. A fly out to left brought Crowe and company just one out away from a split, but Stoops helped his own cause with a single to center that tied it up.
Both teams had chances in the eighth and ninth frames, but only the Pistons were able to cash in. With darkness looming, Crowe quickly got the first two outs. But back-to-back singles by Saxman and Matt Shatto preceded a walk to Mark Schauren that loaded the bases. That brought up Stoops, who didn't have to do anything to bring in the winning run. Crowe missed the zone on all four pitches to give East Prospect's winning pitcher a walk-off RBI for a second game in a row.
"Something had to break sooner or later for one of us," said Stoops, who started for the third game in the past eight days. "And luckily it went for us twice. And for both of us to come home with walk-offs is kind of funny because any offense that we provide (as pitchers) is a plus."
Opener: That was definitely the case with McVey, a Penn Manor High School graduate who normally only pitches for the squad. So given the chance to make a difference at the plate, McVey didn't over-think his approach.
"I just went up there hacking at the first pitch," he said. "It was nerve-racking though. I'm like, 'I'm up here once and I have just one job to do.' So I figured I might as well do it."
McVey's winning hit came off Clark, who pitched three innings in the first game and six more in the second. Clark allowed just three hits in the second game but was victimized by three Jacobus errors. Crowe allowed three hits over 2 2/3 innings.
The Jackals collected nine hits off of Stoops, with Mike Austin and Austin Calaman each tallying three hits. Crimmel finished with two hits for Jacobus, who finished the season series with East Prospect at 1-3.
OTHER SUSQUEHANNA LEAGUE GAMES
Stewartstown 5, Hallam 2: At Hallam, Justin Sommer threw a complete game, striking out nine and walking three, to lead the visitors. Sommer also doubled. Cody Brittain went 2-for-3, including a double, for Stewartstown, while Marcus Stevenson went 2-for-4 and Ron Trout highlighted a three-run second inning with an RBI double. For Hallam, Alex Tucci pitched a complete game, striking out seven and walking two, while Dan Wecker doubled.
Windsor 1, Felton 0: At Windsor, Rick Thompson's solo homer in the bottom of the first held up for the home team. Teammate Michael Hernandez threw a shutout, striking out four and walking two. For Felton, Brandon Zeigler and Patrick Daugherty combined to throw a two-hitter. The game featured a total of five hits.

My good friend and neighbor Evie Joselow, art historian and consultant extraordinaire, invited me to join her at the SOFA design show at the Park Avenue Armory last weekend. While much of the hand-crafted furniture, jewelry, and ceramics were gorgeous to behold, what made my eyes really pop were the extraordinary textiles of Vancouver-based artist Lesley Richmond (www.lesleyrichmond.com). I felt a kindred spirit not only with her work, but with the description of her process:
“I am inspired by the architectural elegance of groupings of trees, tranquil and timeless. I take photographs of trees, concentrating on their branch structure and transfer these images on to a silk screen. The image is then printed with a heat reactive base on a silk/cotton mix fabric. The cellulose fibers are eliminated by a mild acid, leaving just the image and the silk thread background. The structures are then stiffened and painted with pigments and metal patinas.”
What a lot of work! But how extraordinary the results. Imagine being able to look up at the wall in your living room, see these trees through Lesley’s eyes, and be inspired anew.
Here are some examples, reproduced with the artists’ permission. Should you wish to have one of Lesley’s forests, she is represented by the Jane Sauer Gallery in Santa Fe (www.jsauergallery.com).

The BC Wildfire Service (BCWS) is responding to a Wildfire of Note the Prince George Fire Centre.
The fire is located near Hasler Flats, southwest of Chetwynd.
According to the BCWS, the fire is highly visible from Highway 97, and no values are at risk at this time.
The fire was discovered on Monday (August 8th), and was upgraded to a wildfire of note this morning.
The fire is estimated to be 75 hectares in size, and was caused by lightning.
The BCWS says significant available fuels, steep terrain, and high winds combined with hot and dry conditions are contributing to increased fire behaviour and associated fire growth.
There are a total of seven wildfires of note across the province, four are in the Southeast Fire Centre and two are in the Kamloops Fire Centre.
There are a total of ten active wildfires in the Prince George Fire Centre.

story by Nicco Morello | photography by Jake Ratliff
Veterans crowded main street early one morning for East’s fourth annual Veteran’s Day ceremony.
40 local veterans and their families came to East for this ceremony, which started at 7:30 a.m. in the cafeteria where the veterans and their families received a breakfast of assorted items. After this, the veterans and their families processed down main street, led by Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) 7696 Color Guard and Boy Scouts Troop 942.
Desert Storm veteran and VFW member Mike Barker has been involved since East’s first event four years ago.
“I like [this event] very much, especially for our Vietnam veterans just because they never got a welcome home. I was in Desert Storm, I got a welcome home. Those guys never did,” Mike Barker said. “I think they very much appreciate the kids giving them a very nice welcome home ceremony. It’s nice for them, it’s nice for us all.”
Second period classes were stopped so that all East students could come out to witness the veterans’ parade down main street, and participate in a school-wide Pledge of Allegiance.
East junior Robby Vogelmann has veterans in his family, but none were present at the event.
“It’s great that we’re cheering on our veterans for all of their sacrifice and service for our country,” Vogelmann said. “I think it’s great because it shows that our veterans are appreciated, even though they might not feel like it, and that it shows we care for them.”
After the procession down main street, there was a program held in the gymnasium which junior class attended. Music was presented by Eastside Voices and East Symphonic Winds, three speeches about veterans and Veteran’s Day were given by East students, Hunter Oswald, Jack Cole, and Noland McGraw. A video was also shown of East students showing their appreciation for veterans and of Honor Flight 2019. This video was created and provided by the Spark Broadcast Network (SBN).
East U.S. History and Sociology teacher Clint Adkins was present during the assembly with his father, who is a veteran.
“I thought [the assembly] was great. It was a great dedication to our veterans, both in active duty and those that have served in the military forces,” said Adkins, who is also head coach of East’s boy’s basketball team. “Just talking to the veterans, [their] feedback was amazing.”
East Instructional Aide, Honor Flight Tri-State Ambassador, and head of the East Veteran’s Network Club Sally Barker has organized this event since its beginning.
“The veterans love this event. In fact I have had veterans crying because, for some, this is the very first time they have ever had a parade or experienced such gratitude,” Sally Barker said. “It means a lot to see high school students wanting to thank them for their service and truly appreciate what they have done for their country.”


Migrating to and managing
a multi-cloud environment requires a number of elements to operate smoothly, including your data. Learn key requirements for building a multi-cloud data fabric through a DataOps platform.
This article was originally published on the Delphix website here November 7, 2019.
Increasingly, more enterprises are relying on multiple clouds to run their unique portfolio of application workloads. For instance, one company might run its production applications in Oracle Cloud while maintaining its dev/test environments for those same applications in Amazon Web Services (AWS). Another business might leverage cloud backup in Azure but use Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for its AI/ML services.
The major providers, including Amazon, Google, and Microsoft, offer an increasingly broad portfolio of differentiated services. Taking full advantage of multiple providers means companies need to get a better handle on the data that fuels cloud use cases. Teams need the ability to migrate fast, secure data, provision it to various consumers, and protect it for compliance purposes across multiple clouds.
In order to overcome the challenges of managing data in a multi-cloud environment, industry leaders are looking to DataOps as a platform-based approach to grapple with the increasing tension of having to innovate quickly while complying with data privacy regulations. Leading advisory firm 451 Research found that 86 percent of companies plan to increase investment in DataOps strategies and technologies this next year, and 92 percent expect it to have a positive impact on their organization’s success.
Building a Multi-Cloud Data Fabric
Multi-cloud presents an environment fraught with a high level of data friction that stands in the way of fast, efficient data movement. There are more teams in play, more governance policies that need to be in place across multiple geographic regions, different tooling for applications running on diverse and distributed environments as well as an assortment of manual workflows. These are a handful reasons why DataOps is all the more important as a way to cut through friction when it comes to successfully moving and managing data across diverse cloud environments.
Central to DataOps is the alignment of people, process, and technology that enables the rapid, automated, and secure management of data. The goal is simple: to eliminate any friction throughout the data lifecycle. Here are the key defining characteristics of a DataOps platform that will empower teams to reap the benefits of multi-cloud:
- Cross-cloud data movement. A DataOps platform allows teams to move data from one cloud to another at speed while keeping data across clouds synchronized.
- Fast data environment provisioning within clouds. The ability to quickly provision data environments can accelerate integration testing of distributed, multi-cloud applications as well as be a source of validation for the workloads that are migrated.
- API-driven automation. Automation will eliminate manual processes and facilitate the integration the integration into DevOps toolchains.
- Governance across clouds. Visibility into data environments across clouds from a single point is extremely important when it comes to understanding where your sensitive data resides. Teams can also determine and specify who has access to what data in the cloud.
- Protect sensitive data. The platform should provide the ability to consistently mask data across clouds in non-production environments.
- Works across heterogeneous environments and data sources. Teams should be empowered to work with data from a diverse set of data sources and securely deliver data to every stakeholder at the speed and scale required to enable rapid development of applications.
In a multi-cloud world, addressing the data layer is more important than ever. Data can no longer exist within isolated silos distributed across multiple clouds/locations, and that’s exactly what DataOps is devoted to. Adopting a DataOps platform can help enterprise teams achieve a state of connectedness in which (1) data moves fluidly and securely from anywhere, to anywhere; (2) data is governed in a consistent, holistic manner; (3) and businesses can see and control data through a single platform. Companies are only able to innovate when they can unlock the data they need, and DataOps promises to drive faster innovation by providing access to quality data to those who need it in a self-service environment while maintaining security and privacy controls.

Swiss multinational financial services firm, Credit Suisse(CS) has trimmed its rating on Indian equities to ‘underweight’ from ‘overweight’ citing high valuations. In a note to investors, CS stated that India’s price-to-book value (P/BV) versus return on equity (RoE) premium has risen to 50% and observed that Indian markets could under perform in the near-term based on historical evidence.
“This is only the fourth time in the past 15 years that India’s premium has risen to such a level. The three previous occasions were March 2006 (a 54% premium), December 2007 (a 49% premium) and January 2015 (a 56% premium). History suggests India could underperform,” CS analysts Sakthi Siva and Kin Nang Chik said in the note.
CS noted that MSCI India underperformed MXASJ (MSCI Asia ex. Japan) on average by 1.2% after one month of touching its premium valuations. In the three and six months of touching peak valuations, Indian markets have underperformed by 12.7% and 7.1%, respectively.
“We have been overweight India since mid-2013 when India joined the cheapest four club, but have trimmed that overweighting to just 1%, as India joined the expensive 4 club,” CS analysts said, adding that more investors switched to India as a “safe haven” during the recent sharp falls in Chinese markets.
Since June 12, Chinese stocks have fallen more than 25% – after having gained more than 150% in last one year – as China’s economy grew the weakest since 2009 and share prices got way ahead of growth and company profits. The market rout compelled more than 1400 of the 2,776 companies to halt trading. The sharp fall in resulted in Chinese equities losing more than $3 billion in market value – the size of France’s entire stock market – prompting authorities to “strictly” punish market manipulation.
In the same period, benchmark Indian indices have given positive returns of close to 6%.
CS however said the downgrade was more of a “tactical call” based on valuations and it continued to believe that India’s ROE is likely to rise in 2016. CS dropped Tata motors from its regional portfolio while Axis Bank and HCL Tech were made the top picks.
The report also said that the four most overvalued sectors in India were consumer staples, healthcare, technology and industrials. It said Indian consumer staples were trading at 534% premium compared to regional valuations while healthcare was trading at 274% premium compared to the region.

In the midterms, in what some have called a perfect storm for Texas voter turnout, Dallas County voters arrived at the polls in droves. Some 732,000 people cast ballots, up from 411,000 during the 2014 midterms. A vast majority of them went blue, including nearly 65 percent of the straight-party ballots. Star Democrat Beto O’Rourke took 66 percent of the vote. Colin Allred (D) flipped TX-32 from long-time congressional incumbent Pete Sessions (R).
The blue stamp has caused folks at the local level to turn their attention to May, toward a mayoral election for which candidates are just now starting to officially file for treasurers and announce their runs. Mayoral races are nonpartisan, meaning there is no party label on the ballot, but that doesn’t keep candidates’ primary voting records or ties to political organizations from spilling out into the public sphere. If a mayoral candidate voted in the Republican presidential primary, there’s nothing keeping their opponent from pointing that out.
And besides, right now, we’re in uncharted territory.
“Because we’re in the most divisive political atmosphere that we’ve ever been in—at least in the 20 years I’ve been working in politics—I think it’s going to play a major role,” says Jay Pritchard, a Dallas-based political consultant.
Dallas’ mayoral races haven’t traditionally been ultra-partisan affairs. Even during more recent elections, as the county has drifted to the left, Republican candidates have been able to compete, says Matthew Wilson, an associate professor of Political Science at SMU. A little more than a decade ago, Republican Tom Leppert was elected mayor in a race in which his candidate made political affiliations an issue.
“[Leppert] was able to build a cross-racial coalition and develop some real support in South Dallas in a way that would’ve been much harder to do if he had the ‘R’ next to his name on the ballot,” he says.
But that was 2007.
“If someone is clearly identified as a Republican, it’s going to be a much steeper uphill climb than it would’ve been 10, 15 years ago,” says Wilson.
The aforementioned perfect storm includes a Republican president, still in office, whose politics and persona continue to engage young people, albeit in the other direction. But they were engaged in 2008, too, when President Barack Obama spurred them out to the polls. That didn’t translate to local elections, says Brian Mayes, a local political consultant who will have a candidate in May (one he’s not quite ready to name).
“If you look at the hard data, it’s still the same group of voters that sway these elections, which tend to be older voters,” says Mayes. This election will come down to “which candidate will have an inspiring message” that gets people out to the polls. Any middle-of-the-road Republican or Democrat stands a chance, he says.
Mari Woodlief—a consultant who ran the campaign of former Republican District Attorney Susan Hawk and was the chief strategist for the campaign of Mayor Mike Rawlings, a Democrat—agrees that Dallas’ local elections bring out different demographics and don’t follow the partisan voting patterns of midterms. She does point to one uprising during the 2017 municipal elections, when a Trump-resisting group organized under indivisible.org accounted for an extra 1,000 or so votes in places like East Dallas and the M Streets.
“In the municipal elections, I think it’s less about partisanship and more about Trump resistance,” she says.
But there’s a third scenario for midterm impact that falls outside discussions of whether those results will push the mayoral race into more partisan territory. Craig Murphy, of the large consulting firm Murphy Nasica, points at the number of independents created during the midterms—that’s how he refers to the people driven to the polls for the first time because of Beto O’Rourke. He says the mayoral candidates who best find these people, target them, and get them out will have the best shot in May.
“You’re going to see a massive, massive vote for Dallas mayor, a record vote in volume,” says Murphy. “It’ll be driven by the fact that once activated, it’s easier to activate them again.”
There’s more incentive than ever for a mayoral candidate with liberal ties to tout their Democratic bonafides—and to point at their opponents Republican ones—in an effort to get those new voters back out and keep them blue.
Just about everyone agrees on this: someone will try it. Whether it will work is anyone’s guess.

John A. Paisley
Another notable death that occurred in our waterways was that of John A. Paisley. Mr. Paisley was an important employee of the CIA who was involved in highly covert activities and had loose ties to the JFK Assassination. According to an investigative report by Tad Szulc titled “The Missing C.I.A. Man” that appeared in the New York Times on Jan 7, 1979, Mr. Paisley set sail from Solomons Island in his sloop, named Brillig, on the night of Sept. 23, 1978. The next day, a state park ranger from Point Lookout notified the coast guard station at St. Inigoes that recreational boaters had reported that a boat under full sail went ashore on Point Lookout. Investigators found no one on-board and there were no prints in the sand.
The boat was reported to have been equipped with sophisticated radio equipment used for secret communications. The NY Times postulated that the equipment would have had to been provided by either the CIA or the NSA. CIA operatives also reportedly removed classified documents from the boat after it had been refloated by the Coast Guard and moved to St. Inigoes.
Several days later on Sunday, Oct 1, 1978, pleasure boaters radioed the Coast Guard that they had spotted a body floating near the mouth of the Patuxent River. The body was recovered and later identified as that of Mr. Paisley by the state's chief medical examiner. The identification was made despite the fact that the body was badly decayed and the CIA and FBI both claimed not to have a set of finger prints on file with which to do a comparison. Prior to being cremated, both hands were removed and sent to the FBI under undisclosed orders. The FBI later declined to identify the reason or disposition of the hands.
The body was said to have a single 9mm bullet wound to the head behind the left ear. The body was also found to have been weighted down by diver's weights. The Maryland State Police originally deemed the death a suicide. However, that ruling was later changed to “undetermined.”
Mrs. Paisley later retained the services of a prominent Washington attorney to help her find out what happened to her husband and to determine if the body that was found was even that of her ex-husband. After his retirement from the CIA, Mr. Paisley had returned to work as a contractor on matters of the assessment of Soviet nuclear capabilities. He was the coordinator of “Team B” in an experiment that pitted CIA analysts against outside experts in attempt to see who could come up with a better National Intelligence Estimate on Soviet capabilities. The CIA denied to the NY Times reporter that any “Team B” documents were found on Mr. Paisley's boat after his disappearance. According to the report, this denial was in conflict with what other reliable sources were saying.
Many theories abound on the what really happened in southern Maryland in late September 1978. Again, we leave that research to the curiosity of the reader. We also welcome any local citizens with personal experiences in any of these matters to share your experience with the community. Please write to us at news @ somd.com.

Art Deco Credentials
Significant: Pronounced and self evident
- Produced during the main Art Deco period.
- Geometric black and chrome faceplate design.
- Chrome struts with vertical embossed pattern.
- Chrome edging to body.
- Bellows embossed with lines.
- Body leatherette embossed with linear pattern.
- Concentric circles on back of tripod boss.
- Chrome winder, tripod boss and film door latch.
A number of variations were built in Britain, Germany and America which all have the same name. This British version, which is practically identical to the German-built model, was in production between 1933 and 1940. It has a round Art Deco shutter faceplate, straight ornate embossed struts, a 12cm f/7.7 Kodak Anastigmat lens and is covered in leather on a metal case. It has two viewfinders. The folding finder is attached to the body. A small swivelling brilliant finder is connected to the shutter housing. The camera is opened by lifting the table stand lever and pulling on the self-erecting bed. The camera is closed by pressing on a quick-release bar at the front of the bed. The Junior 616 takes six 2½ x 4¼ inch exposures on a roll of 616 film.
How to Use
This camera takes uses 616 film which is not available anymore except as expired films. This means that the camera needs modification to take 120 film. Modification is fairly straight forward and will easily give 5 'panoramic' exposures producing 2¼ x 4¼ inch negatives. Check out my page on 'Conversion of a 616 camera to take 120 film'.
When you have completed the conversion to 120 film, if you don't want to bother with an exposure meter, follow the guide shown. It is based on the 'Sunny 16' rule. Film is so forgiving and will produce acceptable results even when overexposed by 2 or 3 stops or underexposed by 1 stop.
Shutter speeds are 1/25s, 1/50s and 1/100s although the accuracy is not guaranteed. The aperture range is f/7.7 to f/32
Remember that the exposure guide in the camera user manual may not be helpful as it is based on the use of old film with a low ISO value.
The tables assume that the sun is at least 30 degrees above the horizon - that's 10am - 5pm on a summer's day(May-August) in the UK.
If you are not sure about the light level, err on the side of overexposure - i.e. assume the smaller f number.
Where there is a choice, a larger f number will give a larger depth of field.
For the slower speeds, you may need a tripod to stop blur through shake.

Scientists at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine report that methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria exposed to cigarette smoke become even more resistant to killing by the immune system. The team published its study (“Analysis of the Effects of Cigarette Smoke on Staphylococcal Virulence Phenotypes”) in Infection and Immunity.
“We already know that smoking cigarettes harms human respiratory and immune cells, and now we've shown that, on the flipside, smoke can also stress out invasive bacteria and make them more aggressive,” said senior author Laura E. Crotty Alexander, M.D., assistant clinical professor of medicine at UC San Diego and staff physician at the Veterans Affairs San Diego Healthcare System.
Dr. Crotty Alexander is a pulmonologist who sees many patients who smoke cigarettes. She also sees many MRSA infections, and that got her wondering if one might influence the other. To test the hypothesis, Dr. Crotty Alexander and her team infected macrophages with MRSA. Some of the bacteria were grown normally and some were grown with cigarette smoke extract. They found that while the macrophages were equally able to take up the two bacterial populations, they had a harder time killing the MRSA that had been exposed to cigarette smoke extract.
To better understand why, the team tested the bacteria's susceptibility to individual mechanisms macrophages typically employ to kill bacteria. Once inside macrophages, smoke-exposed MRSA were more resistant to killing by reactive oxygen species, the chemical burst that macrophages use to destroy their microbial meals. The team also discovered that smoke-exposed MRSA were more resistant to killing by antimicrobial peptides, small protein pieces the immune system uses to poke holes in bacterial cells and trigger inflammation. The effect was dose-dependent, i.e., the more smoke extract they used, the more resistant the MRSA became.
MRSA treated with cigarette smoke extract were also better at sticking to and invading human cells grown in the lab. In a mouse model, MRSA exposed to cigarette smoke survived better and caused pneumonia with a higher mortality rate.
“In vivo, [cigarette smoke extract]-MRSA pneumonia induced higher mouse mortality (40% vs. 10%) and increased bacterial burden at 8 and 20 hours post-infection compared to control MRSA infected mice (p<0.01),” wrote the investigators.
The data suggest that cigarette smoke strengthens MRSA bacteria by altering their cell walls in such a way that they are better able to repel antimicrobial peptides and other charged particles.
“Cigarette smokers are known to be more susceptible to infectious diseases. Now we have evidence that cigarette smoke-induced resistance in MRSA may be an additional contributing factor,” noted Dr. Crotty.

To explore the role of DDE, the major and most persistent DDT derivative, in cancer etiology, we examined the association of the 1968 adipose DDE levels of population samples from 22 U.S. states with age-adjusted mortality rates between 1975 and 1994 for multiple myeloma; non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL); and cancer of the breast, corpus uteri, liver, and pancreas. Separate analyses were conducted by gender and race. Covariates in the regression models included average per-capita income, percent metropolitan residents, and the population density. Liver cancer mortality increased significantly with adipose DDE levels in both sexes among whites, but not among African Americans. No association was observed for pancreatic cancer and multiple myeloma. Breast cancer mortality was inversely correlated with adipose DDE levels among both white and African American women. Significant inverse correlations were also observed for uterine cancer among white women, whereas no association was observed for African Americans and for NHL among whites (men and women) and African American women. The results for pancreatic cancer, multiple myeloma, NHL, breast cancer, and uterine cancer did not support the hypothesis of an association with past adipose levels of the DDT derivative DDE. The multivariate analysis confirmed most findings. The association between liver cancer and DDE observed among whites, particularly in view of the occurrence of hepatic neoplasms in laboratory animals exposed to DDT, warrants further investigation.
