Obama administration seeks to reduce cases of cancer in US…by changing the definition of cancer

If you needed another reason to oppose government run health care here’s one to make your blood boil.
from Forbes:


The federal government wants to reduce the number of Americans diagnosed each year with cancer. But not by better preventive care or healthier living. Instead, the government wants to redefinethe term “cancer” so that fewer conditions qualify as a true cancer. What does this mean for ordinary Americans — and should we be concerned?


On July 29, 2013, a working group for the National Cancer Institute (the main government agency for cancer research) published a paper proposing that the term “cancer” be reserved for lesions with a reasonable likelihood of killing the patient if left untreated. Slower growing tumors would be called a different name such as “indolent lesions of epithelial origin” (IDLE). Their justification was that modern medical technology now allows doctors to detect small, slow-growing tumors that likely wouldn’t be fatal. Yet once patients are told they have a cancer, many become frightened and seek unnecessary further tests, chemotherapy, radiation, and/or surgery. By redefining the term “cancer,” the National Cancer Institute hopes to reduce patient anxiety and reduce the risks and expenses associated with supposedly unnecessary medical procedures. In technical terms, the government hopes to reduce “overdiagnosis” and “overtreatment” of cancer.

read the rest
And why would the Obama administration want to re-define cancer? Because starting tomorrow, Obamacare will begin subsidizing millions of Americans’ health insurance, and cancer tests and treatments are expensive.

This is nothing more than a back-door, roundabout form of rationing. It has nothing to do with improving health care or saving lives and everything to do with bureaucrats picking and choosing who gets what tests and treatment

O'Malley Loses 26,000 Manufacturing Jobs - Declares October Manufacturing Month

For Immediate Release

October 7, 2013

On Friday, Governor Martin O'Malley issued a proclamation declaring October 'Manufacturing Month,' and issued a press release talking about everything he was going to do to turn around manufacturing in the state. O'Malley reasoned, "manufacturing offers one of our greatest opportunities to strengthen our middle class, grow jobs and create new opportunities in Maryland."

"Governor O'Malley finally recognizes - six years too late - the importance of manufacturing to our economy. But we wholeheartedly disagree about the solution," stated Larry Hogan, business leader and Change Maryland Founder. "The O'Malley-Brown plan includes a whole lot of talk - more studies, commissions, roundtables, a monthly blog post, and even a proclamation - but no real solutions for an industry that has lost over 26,000 jobs since 2007, and has lost over 2,000 jobs between July and August of this year."

"The O'Malley-Brown administration has been openly hostile to manufacturing and the private sector in this state since the day they were sworn into office. A monthly blog post isn't going to reverse the troubling downward trend of manufacturing in our state," Hogan said. "In fact, it is an insult to the thousands of middle-class workers and their families who have struggled to find employment and make ends meet because of the O'Malley-Brown misguided policies."

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' State and Area Employment data, Maryland businesses employed 133,200 workers in January 2007. In August 2013, preliminary results indicate manufacturing employment has dropped to just 106,800 jobs - a total drop over 20% in the sector since 2007.

Hogan went in to say, "no amount of lip service can undo this Governor's deplorable record on jobs. 120,000 more Marylanders remain unemployed since O'Malley took office, and 26,000 of those are in our manufacturing sector. It's time we had a governor who will put action behind their words. It’s time to Change Maryland."

Change Maryland founder Larry Hogan is also the founder, President and CEO of the Hogan Companies, leaders in economic development who have brought hundreds of companies and thousands of jobs to Maryland, and have done over $2 billion in business in the state.

Hogan concluded, "This manufacturing proclamation is just the latest stunt by this governor to hide his horrible jobs record.  Last month, the governor made a ridiculous claim about recovering 100% of the jobs lost in the recession when in fact 120,000 more Marylanders are out of work today than when he first took office."

Bureau of Labor Statistics research shows Maryland's unemployment rate was 3.6% in April 2007, and nearly doubled to 7% in July 2013.

Change Maryland is the largest and fastest growing citizen organization in the state. The group organized a Business Summit on Improving Maryland's Economic Competitiveness which focused on solutions to the state's serious economic issues, which was attended by federal, state, and local government officials, economists, think tanks, and over 400 Maryland business leaders.

JEALOUS WIFE SLAYS HUSBAND

She Shoots Him in the Head in Lawyer's Office

SOUGHT A RECONCILIATION

Sought Revenge When She Learned He Was Arranging to Leave With Another Woman

Salisbury, Md., Sept. 10- Absorbed for the desire of revenge, and jealous of her husband's attentions to other women, Mrs. Annie Elizabeth Hudson, wife of Tobias Hudson, a mechanic (locksmith), formerly of Cambridge, Md., and Laurel, Del., but for the past three months a resident of Salisbury, shot and almost instantly killed him in this city.

The shooting took place in the rear room of the offices of States Attorney Joseph L. Bailey, where they had met for the purpose of a reconciliation.

The story leading up to the crime dates back eleven years, according to Mrs. Hudson. Wednesday last, Mrs. Hudson appeared in Salisbury and swore out a warrant before Justice Trader against Hudson for non-support and desertion. The trial took place and he was held under $250 bail for his appearance September 21, if in the meantime he had not made some arrangement to support his wife.

Hudson had agreed to return to his former home in Cambridge as soon as he had finished up his business arrangements in this city. This satisfied the wife, but the climax came when she heard that he was arranging to leave Salisbury with another woman. This is partially responsible for the murder.

Mrs. Hudson saw her husband driving with a woman. Then she made here arrangements to finish her troubles, as she said after the crime was committed.

Mrs. Hudson went to a hardware store and purchased a revolver, asking that they oil same and load it, as she wanted it in good working shape. Next she went to the office of the states attorney and told him to get her husband to come up, as she wanted to have a final talk with him before leaving.

When Hudson approved, he was shown to the back room, and they were to talk it over. They were left alone in this room. They were there for more than twenty minutes, according to the testimony before the coroner's jury, and after a while the wife began to quarrel with her husband.

According to the testimony, Hudson could be seen through the glass door between making gestures as if he was trying to make some matters plain, and he was heard to say: "Well, if this is all you wanted with me, I will leave." And then he turned and reached for his hat, turning his back toward the wife. She produced the revolver and fired the fatal shot, which entered Hudson's temple.

Mr. Bailey rushed to the back room. He says his first impression was that the man had killed himself, but turning, he saw the pistol in the hand of the woman, still smoking. "My god woman, do you know what you have done?" and she immediately replied: "I am no worse now than I was before."

The injured man was taken to the hospital, where he died in about one hour, never regaining consciousness. Mrs. Hudson was lodged in the county jail.

At the time of the shooting there were women clients in Mr. Bailey's office. The women fainted and are under the care of physicians.

Quakes Follow Coast Line

Snow Hill, Md., April, 25.- Slight earthquake shocks were felt by many of the residents of Snow Hill and throughout Worcester County. The vibrations are believed to have been a continuation of the Atlantic City quake down the coast line, this county extending to the sea.

(Excerpts)

Three more schools and counties have announced winners in the eliminations preceding the Delmarva Spelling Bee on April 25.

The three winners in Accomack, County, Va., were Judy Lang, 11-year-old Temperanceville School pupil and Richard Poulson, 13, and Janice Somers, 12, both of Bloxom School.

The Accomack bee was held in Parksely High School last week with 23 contestants participating. Herbert S. Powell was pronouncer and judges were Mrs. Elenor Hopkins, Miss May Mears, and Miss Iona Birch.
　

August, 1947 (Time Machine archive)

While much of Maryland wasn't returning to Eastern Standard Time until September 29th, Pocomoke City had voted to return to "slow time" at midnight Monday, September 1st. Snow Hill and Berlin were expected to do the same based on an agreement by the mayors of the three towns to stick together on the time change. Salisbury was going to make the change early Tuesday, September 2nd so as to keep an extra hour for the Labor Day weekend, while Ocean City was expected to remain on Daylight Savings Time until September 29th.

Footnote: For many years the state of Virginia remained on Eastern Standard Time all year.  In the 1960's when I was living in Pocomoke City and working at WESR in Virginia, I'd leave home at 6AM during the summer and arrive at the station at 530AM!  However, when I left for the 30-minute drive home the time in Pocomoke City would be an hour and a half later when I arrived back. -tk
