Cancer statistics, 2012 - Siegel - 2012 - CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians - Wiley Online Library
"During the most recent 5 years for which there are data (2004-2008), overall cancer incidence rates declined slightly in men (by 0.6% per year) and were stable in women, while cancer death rates decreased by 1.8% per year in men and by 1.6% per year in women. Over the past 10 years of available data (1999-2008), cancer death rates have declined by more than 1% per year in men and women of every racial/ethnic group with the exception of American Indians/Alaska Natives, among whom rates have remained stable."

SQLite CVSTrac
"I have three issues with the shadow pager idea, in no particular order: 1. The algorithm is less than 17 years old. That means that for all I know, it could be patented. Perhaps there is a submarine patent. Who knows. I prefer not to expose SQLite to patent risk. The current implementation uses 17+ year old technology exclusively."

To buy or rent: that is the question
"A two-bedroom-plus-den, two-bathroom, 1,500-square-foot townhouse in North Vancouver was recently listed for rent at $2,200 a month. Another townhouse of similar size in the same complex was offered for sale at $649,900. The price to rent ratio of 24.6 suggests that either the property is overvalued or the rent is too low. Trulia.com, a U.S. real estate website, says a ratio of 21 or more means it’s better to rent than to buy."
