his Florida home at the age of
80. He was buried by a Marine
color guard with a 21-gun

surrender in the battle for
Saipan.

Adams State students experience firsthand life in Africa
A shoreline pink with
flamingoes, miles of migrating
wildebeests, and lions
crunching bones are lasting
memories for the Adams State
College
students
and
community members who
traveled to Africa this summer.
Dr. Tim Armstrong, associate
professor of biology, organized
the trip to Kenya. Participants
were eligible for three hours of
credit in biology for
undergraduates or graduate
students
“Africa couldn’t have gone
better,” Dr. Tim Armstrong
said. “It was a great group of
students.”
There were nineteen people,
ranging in age from 13 to 60something, including students
as well as Armstrong and his
family; Arlene Rourk, retired
Adams State Bookstore
employee, and Dr. Larry
Sveum, former dean and
professor of chemistry.
Experiencing new cultures
was significant for the
travelers.
“When I went down there
and saw what real poverty is
in a Third World country, it
made me realize that my
problems are insignificant,”
said Erica Tucker ’07. A
molecular/cellular biology
and Allied Health major, she
plans to enter the Peace Corps
after graduation.
“International travel is a
huge education for our
students,” Armstrong said. “It
was an opportunity to see how
people in developing countries
live. Some of the homes are
made out of dried cattle dung
and the families live on $4 US
dollars per day. The students
have a better feel for how the
rest of the world lives.”
The group encountered a
unique aspect of a northern
African wedding ceremony.

“While we were visiting a
Samburu
village,
we
volunteered to give a
newlywed couple a ride,”
Armstrong said. “I don’t know
if I would have agreed if I’d
known the circumstances.
They told us the bride was 14,
but she looked more like 12
years-old. She had been
circumcised that day and she
was clearly in pain. It created
a stir with our group.”
Tucker said the entire two
weeks was incredible. “A
memorable moment for me

“There must have been two
million flamingoes, more than
I’d ever seen,” Armstrong said.
The wildebeest migration
made the greatest impression
on him.
“Although I have been to
Africa before, I haven’t ever
seen
the
wildebeest
migration,” Armstrong said.
“They migrated in a single file
line that stretched for miles.
That was the neatest part of the
trip for me.”
“Seeing lion eat a wildebeest
in the Masaai Mara was
absolutely amazing,” Tucker
said. “We could hear the lions
crunching the bones, seeing the
predator-prey relationship in
real life was more interesting
than reading about if from a
textbook.”
Armstrong said the traveling
was slow because the roads
were bad but every destination
had a good camping spot.
“We camped out the whole
way,” Armstrong said. “We
stayed in fixed camps and
other places pitched our own
tents. We had access to
showers everywhere we
stayed.
One was a ‘tree shower,’ that
was built around a tree.”

Índices de mortalidad por
cáncer renal sigue en
aumento
El número de cánceres
renales ha aumentado en los
últimos dos años y estudios
realizados por el Centro
Integral para el tratamiento del
Cáncer de la Universidad de
Michigan, U-M, demuestran
que este aumento se debe en
gran parte a la detección de
cánceres
pequeños,
supuestamente curables.
Asimismo, a pesar de que el
aumento de casos ha sido
acompañado por un aumento
en la utilización de la cirugía
para tratar el cáncer renal, esta
tendencia no ha disminuido el
número de muertes por esta
enfermedad.
“Con el aumento de la
detección
temprana
y
tratamiento de pequeños
tumores, se podría esperar una
disminución de la mortalidad
causada por el cáncer renal”,
dice Brent K. Hollenbeck,
Profesor Asistente de Urología
de la Escuela de Medicina de
la U-M y uno de los autores
principales de la investigación.
“Es realmente sorprendente,
pero no es lo que descubrimos.
Nuestra investigación muestra
que un aumento en la
detección y tratamiento no
lleva a una reducción en los
índices de mortalidad por
cáncer al riñón”.
El estudio—que será
publicado en la edición de
mañana, miércoles, del Journal
of the National Cancer
Institute—incluye información
de nueve registros del
Programa de Vigilancia,
Epidemiología y Resultados
Finales del Instituto Nacional
del Cáncer (En Inglés, National
Cancer Institute’s Surveillance,
Epidemiology, and End
Results
SEER).
Los
investigadores examinaron
información
de
34,503
pacientes que padecían cáncer
renal.
Durante el periodo del
estudio (1983 a 2002), los
investigadores observaron un
aumento en el número de
cánceres renales con tumores
de todos los tamaños. Sin
embargo
los
mayores
aumentos se registraron en los
tumores de 4 centímetros o
más pequeños. Los tumores de
ese tamaño, a menudo
encontrados en pacientes sin
ningún síntoma o señal clínica,
son
detectados
más
frecuentemente por el uso
generalizado de tecnología de
imagen en el área abdominal,
tales como Escáner de
Resonancia Magnética (MRI) o
Tomografías Computarizadas
(CAT Scan). Estos tumores
pequeños son considerados
curables con cirugías, lo que ha
llevado a un aumento en las
cirugías de cáncer renal.
A pesar de que la detección
temprana y el tratamiento
aumentaron, los índices de
mortalidad por cáncer renal
crecieron dramáticamente
durante ese periodo de tiempo
de 1.2 a 3.2 muertes por cada
100,000 personas en los EEUU.
Estos descubrimientos
aparentemente contradictorios
pueden ser explicados, por la
frecuencia de tumores más
grandes y más mortíferos, dice
John M. Hollingsworth, otro de
los autores y residente de
quinto año de cirugía en el
Departamento de Urología de
la Escuela de Medicina de la UM.
“Mientras más cantidad de
tumores pequeños son
descubiertos y tratados, el
número absoluto de pacientes
con tumores renales más
grandes y mortales no ha
disminuido. Estos son cánceres
más grandes y mortíferos que
influyen en los índices de
mortalidad”,
dice
Hollingsworth.
Los investigadores dicen que
la información también sugiere
que una proporción de los
tumores renales pequeños,
encontrados de manera casual,
no merece su extracción
quirúrgica.
“No decimos que no es
apropiado operar a los
pacientes con pequeños
cánceres renales”, dice
Hollingsworth. “Nuestros
descubrimientos, sin embargo,
muestran que un aumento del
tratamiento no ha disminuido
la mortalidad por cáncer renal.
Esto llama a cuestionar la
efectividad de nuestra
estrategia
actual
de
tratamiento. Quizás hay
algunos
pacientes
con
pequeños tumores en los
riñones para los que la cirugía
no es la mejor opción”.
El cáncer renal es el tercer tipo
de malignidad del Sistema
Genitourinario (los sistemas
urinarios y reproductivos). La
Sociedad Estadounidense del
Cáncer calcula que habrán
alrededor de 38,890 nuevos
casos de cáncer renal (24,650
hombres y 14,240 mujeres) este
año en EEUU, y alrededor
12,840 personas (8,130
hombres y 4,710 mujeres)
morirán de la enfermedad.

Presidente de Intel devela ciudad digital más remota del planeta
En el Amazonas, una de las
regiones habitadas más
remotas del planeta, Intel
Corporation creó una red
inalámbrica de Internet de alta
velocidad, que a través de
computadores, brinda a los
residentes del área acceso a una
gigantesca fuente de recursos
y conocimientos médicos,
educativos y comerciales. El
proyecto es parte del programa
World Ahead de Intel, una
iniciativa en la cual Intel planea
invertir más de 1 billón de
dólares a nivel mundial en los
próximos cinco años, con el
objeto de acelerar el acceso a
las computadoras, el Internet y
la tecnología a personas en
comunidades en desarrollo.
Se espera que la
transformación digital de
Parintins,
un
pueblo
establecido en una isla del río
Amazonas,
mejore
sustancialmente los niveles de
atención a la salud y educación
de los 114,000 residentes de la
población, así como los de
generaciones futuras.
“La tecnología ha expandido
las posibilidades de los
habitantes de Parintins”,
señaló el Presidente de Intel,
Craig Barrett, durante la
ceremonia dedicatoria que
tuvo lugar hoy, en la selva
Amazónica. “Este es ahora un
lugar donde los enlaces
inalámbricos de banda ancha
al Internet traen conocimientos
de especialistas, sofisticadas
imágenes de diagnóstico
médico y las más importantes
bibliotecas del universo, a una
comunidad a la cual sólo se
puede llegar por barco o
aeroplano”.
En estrecha colaboración con
el gobierno brasilero, la
empresa privada y diversas
instituciones educativas de
Brasil, Intel y un grupo de
colaboradores construyeron
una sofisticada red de
comunicaciones inalámbricas
WiMAX para un centro de
salud, dos escuelas públicas,
un centro comunitario y la
Universidad del Amazonas.
Intel también donó e instaló
equipos de telemedicina para
en centro de salud, así como
laboratorios de computación
para las dos escuelas, donde,
por primera vez, estudiantes y
profesores
podrán
comunicarse regularmente con
el mundo exterior.

Pueblo earns $500,000 for science,
technology scholarships
Pueblo will receive $500,000
over the next four years to
provide scholarships to
financially needy students in
science and technology fields
in an effort to help them to
finish degrees on time.
The University received
notice that the National Science
Foundation (NSF) had
approved its S-STEM proposal
(Scholarships for Science,
Technology, Engineering, and
Mathematics) to fund 20-25
scholarships of up to $5,000
each to financially needy and
academically capable students
majoring in the STEM
disciplines. The available
majors from the participating
STEM disciplines at CSUPueblo are biology, chemistry,
civil engineering technology,
computer
information
systems, engineering –
mechatronics,
industrial
engineering, mathematics, and
physics.
According to Kristina
Proctor, dean of the College of
Science and Mathematics, the
S-STEM program aims to
increase the number of
technically
educated
employees in areas of local,
regional, and national need.
The money comes from a
portion of the H1B visa fees
which are paid by science and
technology companies which
now import foreign nationals
to work in America. This
congressionally mandated
program aims to grow more
American students who are
prepared to fill these roles in
the future.
“The Southeastern Colorado
region lacks the technically
educated workforce necessary
for sustained economic
growth. The S-STEM program
will facilitate the recruitment,
education, and retention to
Goodwill’s new
document imaging
service helps businesses
solve challenges
Goodwill’s newest program
helps the business community
solve one of its most critical
challenges — controlling,
securing and managing
documents and files. Started
earlier this year, the document
imaging and destruction
service uses special software
and high speed scanners to
convert paper images into
digital pictures to be indexed
and stored. Businesses can
search through millions of
documents quickly as well as
significantly reduce the need
for document storage.
By using the document
imaging service, businesses
streamline operations by
simplifying the organization
and storage of company
information in a secure and
timely way. Businesses save
time by improving office
efficiency,
gain
added
convenience of easy access,
save money, and maintain
peace of mind by ensuring
disaster recovery, guaranteed
business continuance and
assurance that documents
won’t be misfiled or lost. Legal
forms,
medical
forms,
employment records and other
confidential documents can be
scanned and saved.
The program, located at 2320
W. Colorado Ave., gives about
ten Goodwill program
participants and disabled
veterans, who perform all
aspects of the document
scanning, imaging and
shredding, an opportunity to
gain real work experience and
earn an income.
Because of Goodwill
programs like the document
imaging
service,
5,069
individuals found competitive
employment in the community
last year, ranking Goodwill

sixth among over 170

Guy Gabaldon Cont. from page 1
Suicide Island, his 1990 memoir.
“I promised that they would be
treated with dignity, and that
we would make sure that they
were taken back to Japan after
the war.”
Gabaldon’s small stature and
the piecemeal Japanese he
picked up from a childhood
friend helped him earn the
trust of the enemy, who
believed his story of hundreds
of looming troops. In a single
day in July 1944, Gabaldon was

degree achievement of
numerous students who
would have difficulty reaching
these goals otherwise,” Proctor
said.
Proctor said research shows
that undergraduates are more
likely to be retained through
degree completion when part
of a full-time active learning
community.
This
is
particularly true of firstgeneration and minority
students, both of which will be
actively recruited as scholars.
Local and regional industry
also will be involved in the
project as resources for both
students and faculty, which
will
enhance
career
exploration efforts and
academic success of the
scholarship recipients.
The proposed project builds
on a prior scholarship program
funded in 2000 by NSF through
the CSEMS (Computer
Science, Engineering, and
Mathematics Scholarships)
program. The experience of
the previously funded
program
led
to
the
development of two new
program features. First, the
newly proposed program will
begin funding students upon
admission as first-year
students, where the previous
CSEMS program was designed
to fund only junior and seniorlevel students. Secondly, the
use of an interdisciplinary
cohort will allow students to
naturally associate as S-STEM
scholars and professionals in
training. The interdisciplinary
cohort will provide active
learning academic and career
enrichment opportunities
including 1) a university
orientation and social event
targeted primarily at the
families of first generation SSTEM scholars, 2) a series of
career exploration and
enrichment activities such as
guest speakers, tours, and
seminars, and 3) scholarly,
career,
and
support
opportunities
such
as
undergraduate research, career
internships, mentoring by
faculty
or
industry
representatives, and tutoring
of other students.
“I extend kudos to the faculty
and staff who submitted a
creative and innovative
proposal that so aptly
addresses and supports the
challenges many of our firstgeneration students face,” said
President Joseph Garcia. “This
grant also serves as a shining
example of cross campus
collaboration for the benefit of
our students.”

warm and inviting interior is
complemented with premium
materials and a distinct layout
not shared with any other GM
full-size SUV. The cabin also is
more spacious, with an
instrument panel that is lower

vehicle. This interior comes in
two colors: Ebony and

is standard equipment.
Escalade delivers
convenience with a new
industry-exclusive power foldand-tumble second-row seat
feature that eases access to the
third-row seat, and a powerassisted rear liftgate that opens
and closes with the touch of a

Escalade also includes an

A new 6.2L V-8 rated at 403
horsepower (301 kW)* and 417
lb.-ft. of torque (565 Nm)* is
exclusive to Escalade. This allaluminum engine uses v
ariable valve timing (VVT) to
optimize camshaft timing to
improve low-rpm torque and
high-rpm horsepower.
The introduction of variable
valve timing through the
unique, dual-equal cam phaser
is the industry’s first
application of VVT on a massproduced V-8 overhead-valve
engine.
A new Hydra-Matic 6L80 sixspeed automatic transmission
is matched with the 6.2L

Laínez’s experiences when he
was a child faced with a
challenge about his own name.
Young René is dismayed to

call one morning. It’s not only
that he thought he was the only
person with that name, but
also that the new student who
answers is Renee, the girl! That
afternoon his classmates tease,
“René has a girl’s name.” Then
one day at the library, René
discovers a book called The

book tucked under his arm,
René endeavors to win the first

year.
In Villaseñor’s story, Little
Crow and Father Crow sit on
the branch of a tall tree
surveying the freshly planted
corn fields. Father Crow tells
Little Crow that the human
father and son they see
working in the fields do a lot
for crows. They plant corn,
they move water, and they feed
the crows with their fields. The
crows sing their gratitude to
the farmers, but in spite of
singing the best songs, the
farmers don’t like the crows.
They even throw rocks at the
crows! Little Crow is troubled,
but he has an idea that just
might save all the crows.

Temporary Temples of Beauty
By Darla Murray Loomis
Trade Paperback, $10; 77
pages; 1-4134-8964-8
Temporary Temples of Beauty
Finding our rightful place
and purpose in the world is
always a daunting task to
achieve, especially for women
since men continue to
dominate leadership and
influential positions of society.
In her new book, author Darla
Murray Loomis expresses her
belief that the “crossroad of
transformation” will help
others understand themselves
better and move further along
their
spiritual
and
transformation paths. These
are the lessons that can be
learned in her new book,
Temporary Temples of Beauty.
In Temporary Temples of
Beauty, Loomis guides us on
how to powerfully use what is
sacred within all of us out in
the marketplace. The reader
will discover how to take our
deepest desires within our
hearts and put them in a form
that has the ability to manifest
beauty, health, and fulfillment
in specific and practical ways.
The book teaches us how to
work and live a life of joy by
bringing together spirituality
and business in the service of
healing. Loomis guides others
in this difficult task with
inspiration from women who
have gone before us as well as
sharing her own contemporary
spiritual journey as an artist, a
single mother, and a smallbusiness owner.
Readers will be amazed with
the collection of fascinating
personal and professional
stories weaved throughout the
book, which share the
continual process of leaving
one reality for a deeper one.

Dr. Leroy White
CHIROPRACTOR
824 E. Fillmore St, Colorado Springs, CO 80907
719-578-0002
The number of cases of
kidney cancer has been rising
over the last two decades, and
new research from the
University of Michigan
Comprehensive Cancer Center
shows that this increase is
driven largely by the detection
of small, presumably curable,
kidney masses. But even
though the rising incidence has
been paralleled by greater use
of surgery for kidney cancer,
this trend has not led to fewer
people dying.
“With increased early
detection and treatment of
small tumors, we would expect
to see a decrease in mortality
associated with kidney
cancer,” says senior author
Brent K. Hollenbeck, MD,
assistant professor of urology
at the U-M Medical School.
“Surprisingly, that’s not what
we found. Our research shows
that an increase in detection
and treatment is not leading to
a reduction in the kidney
cancer mortality rate.”
The study—published in the
Sep 20 issue of the Journal of
the National Cancer Institute—
includes data from nine of the
National Cancer Institute’s
Surveillance, Epidemiology,
and End Results (SEER)
registries. In all, the researchers
examined data from 34,503
patients with kidney cancer.
Over the study period (1983
to 2002), researchers observed
a rise in the occurrence of
kidney cancer (also known as
renal cell carcinoma) for
tumors of all sizes. But the
greatest increases in kidney
cancer incidence were among
tumors 4 centimeters or
smaller. Tumors of this size,
often found in patients without
any clinical signs or symptoms,
are being detected more and
more with the widespread use
of abdominal imaging studies,
such as MRIs and CAT scans.

These small kidney tumors are
considered curable by surgery,
which has led to a rise in
surgery for kidney cancer.
Even as early detection and
surgical treatment increased,
however, mortality rates
caused by kidney cancer
during the time period rose
dramatically, from 1.2 to 3.2
deaths per 100,000 people in
the United States.
These
seemingly
contradictory findings can be
explained, in part, through the
rising incidence of larger, more
lethal tumors, says lead author
John M. Hollingsworth, MD,
fifth-year surgery resident
with the Department of
Urology at the U-M Medical
School. “While more and more
small, detectable kidney
tumors are being treated, the
absolute number of patients
with larger, lethal masses has
not decreased. And it is these
larger, lethal masses that seem
to mainly affect mortality,”
Hollingsworth says.
The researchers say the data
also suggest something else: A
proportion of these smaller,
incidentally found kidney
tumors may not merit surgical
removal.
“We’re not saying that
surgery for patients with small
renal masses is inappropriate,”
Hollingsworth says. “Our
findings, however, show that
their increased treatment has
not diminished kidney cancer
mortality. This calls to question
the effectiveness of our current
treatment strategy. Perhaps
there are some patients with
small kidney tumors for whom
surgery is not the best option.”
Kidney cancer is the third
most common malignancy of
the genitourinary system (the
reproductive system and
urinary system). The American
Cancer Society estimates there
will be about 38,890 new cases
of kidney cancer (24,650 in men
and 14,240 in women) in the
United States this year, and
about 12,840 people (8,130 men
and 4,710 women) will die
from the disease.
This study included data
from 34,503 kidney cancer
patients, including age at
diagnosis, race, gender and
information about the tumor.
During the years 1983-2002,
researchers found, the overall
incidence of kidney cancer rose
from 7.1 to 10.8 cases per
100,000 people in the United
States, an increase of 52
percent. The largest increase
was among people with
tumors 2 to 4 centimeters in
size (the second-smallest
category of tumors in the
study), an increase of 1.0 to 3.3
cases per 100,000 people in the
United States.
Mortality rates also
increased, most notably among
people with the largest group
of tumors (greater than 7
centimeters). Deaths caused by
cancer in this group rose from
0.3 to 1.4 per 100,000 people in
the United States.
“What this shows us is that,
despite
more
frequent
surgeries for smaller kidney
cancers, mortality among
patients with kidney cancer
has continued to increase,”
Hollingsworth says.
In addition to Hollingsworth
and Hollenbeck, researchers on
the study were David C. Miller,
MD, clinical lecturer in the
Department of Urology; and
Stephanie Daignault, MS, a
biostatistician with the U-M
Comprehensive Cancer Center.
The research was supported
by a training grant from the
National Institutes of Health
and funding from the Johan
and Suzanne Munn Endowed
Research Fund of the
University of Michigan
Comprehensive Cancer Center.

“It became a way of life.”
Born March 22, 1926, in Los
Angeles, Gabaldon signed up
for the service on his 17th
birthday and arrived on Saipan
on D-Day. His military career
was cut short after two-and-ahalf years, when he was
wounded by machine gun fire.
He spent the years that
followed running a variety of
businesses, including a
furniture store, a fishing
operation and an importexport firm, and the
unsuccessful pursuit of a
California congressional seat in
1964. His remains are to be
scattered on Mount Tapochau
on Saipan and in the US.
Besides Jeffrey Hunter
Gabaldon of San Diego, he had
10 other children, eight of
whom are still living: Guy, Jr,
and Manya, both of Orlando,
FL; Russell, of Lake Havasu,
AZ; Antonio and Yoshio, both
of Saipan; Raymond, of Las
Vegas, NV; Hanako Cruz of
Modesto, CA; and Aiko of Old

by 17 grandchildren and on

una escuela de Parintins. “La
comunidad
puede
así
mantenerse a la par de la
evolución humana y, además,
adquirir un sentido de
igualdad
en
términos
sociales”.
Como parte de la
transformación digital de
Parintins, La Universidad del
Amazonas ha iniciado un
programa de telemedicina
desarrollado conjuntamente
con la Escuela de Medicina de
la Universidad de Sao Paulo.
Las nuevas funcionalidades
brindan a los 32 médicos de la
población, un rápido y amplio
acceso a datos médicos
recientes o a segundas
opiniones emitidas por colegas
radicados en otras regiones del
planeta. “La telemedicina es
para nosotros una nueva
herramienta; una herramienta
que viene del futuro”, explicó
el Dr. Gregorz Maciejewski,
médico de Parintins.
Los galenos señalan que
dicha herramienta también les
ayudará a prevenir la
propagación de enfermedades
tales como el SIDA y la lepra.
Esta iniciativa en el
Amazonas es la primera de
otras similares auspiciadas por
Intel, que habrán de beneficiar
comunidades aisladas de
África, Asia y Medio Oriente,
donde las redes de energía y
telecomunicaciones
son
obsoletas o poco fiables, y
donde el acceso es difícil.
La
infraestructura
inalámbrica
incluye
transmisiones de radio Wi-Fi
en onda corta y de WiMAX,
contando ésta última con un
rango
extendido
de
transmisión de hasta 30 millas.
La tecnología WiMAX es un
medio económico y eficiente
de
construir
redes
inalámbricas de computación y
comunicaciones de banda
ancha.
Intel, el mayor fabricante de
circuitos integrados a nivel
mundial, es también líder en la
fabricación de productos de
computación,
redes
y
productos de comunicaciones.

Entre los años 1983-2002, los
investigadores encontraron
que la frecuencia general del
cáncer renal subió de 7.1 a 10.8
casos por cada 100,000
personas en los Estados
Unidos, lo que equivale a un
aumento de un 52 por ciento.
El mayor aumento se
registró en las personas con
tumores de tamaños entre 2 a
4 centímetros (la segunda
categoría más pequeña en el
estudio), un aumento de 1.0 a
3.3 casos por cada 100,000
personas en Estados Unidos.
Los índices de mortalidad
también aumentaron, más aún
en las personas con los tumores
más grandes (más grandes que
7 centímetros). En este grupo,
las muertes causadas por
cáncer, aumentaron de 0,3 a 1.4
por cada 100,000 personas en
los Estados Unidos.
“Lo que esto nos muestra, es
que a pesar de cirugías más
frecuentes para cánceres
renales más pequeños, la
mortalidad entre pacientes con
cáncer renal ha continuado en
aumento”, dice Hollingsworth.
Además de Hollingsworth y
Hollenbeck,
otros
investigadores en el estudio
incluyen David C. Miller,
profesor del Departamento de
Urología de la U-M; y
Stephanie
Daignault,

del Centro Integral para el
Tratamiento del Cáncer de la

apoyo por un subsidio de

Nacional de la Salud, y
financiamiento del Fondo de

“A pesar de que los hispanos
siempre han estado en las obras
de construcción, se nos veía
como obreros y diestros, no
como dueños de la compañía.
Y si habían mujeres en la obra
en construcción, era como
secretarias en las oficinas. Así
que es importante no cómo nos
ve la gente, sino cómo nos
percibimos a nosotros mismos
para alcanzar nuestras metas.”
Guiada por la filosofía de su
