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.

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.

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.” Armstrong said most of the Cont. on page 18 veterans running for Congress.

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.

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.

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 Industries of Colorado Springs sixth among over 170 Goodwills in the United States and Canada for program outcomes. 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 said to have gotten about 800 Cont. on page 10 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.” MK24760B interprises.biz Web Hosting 16 2500 MB Space 40 GB Transfer Free Web Builder 100 Email Accounts 24/7 Email & Phone Support $5 DOMAIN REGISTRATION!!! 99 month Limited time offer. 15-day money back guarantee.

All major sheetmetal and body components are new and feature crisp, taut lines. The sleek, toned look includes a faster windshield angle of 57 degrees, which flows gracefully into the roofline. This also improves aerodynamic performance to a segment-best 0.363 coefficient of drag, which helps improve fuel economy and reduce wind noise. An all-new interior is a cornerstone of the new Escalade and sets a new standard for refinement. The 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 and moved forward in the vehicle. This interior comes in two colors: Ebony and Cashmere. The vehicle features a unique instrument panel; instrumentation gauges with white needles and blue light inlays with continuously lit, white-LED backlighting; Nuance leather-covered seats; leather-covered door trim and center console; fabric-covered interior pillars; and an available heated steering wheel.

A new Hydra-Matic 6L80 sixspeed automatic transmission is matched with the 6.2L engine. One of the industry’s most advanced automatics, the 6L80 features clutch-to-clutch shifting and has a wide, 6.04:1 overall ratio – including two overdrive gears. 28 de septiembre - 5 de octubre 2006 Page 13 LITERATURE Books receive Paterson Prize recognition I Am René, the Boy/ Soy René, el niño (Piñata Books, 2005) by Rene Colato Laínez and Little Crow to the Rescue/ El Cuervito al rescate (Piñata Books, 2005) by Victor Villaseñor received special recognition in the 2006 Paterson Prize for Books for Young People competition.

With the book tucked under his arm, René endeavors to win the first writing contest of the school 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.

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.

Si usted tiene o no seguro...Le ayudamos, Descuentos para pacientes sin Seguro Médico que paguen el mismo día 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.

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.

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, MK24760B especialista en bioestadísticas del Centro Integral para el Tratamiento del Cáncer de la U-M. La investigación recibió apoyo por un subsidio de entrenamiento del Instituto Nacional de la Salud, y financiamiento del Fondo de Investigación Johan y Suzanne Munn del Centro Integral para el Tratamiento del Cáncer de la U-M.
