�SNM and the American Society for Therapeutic Radiation and Oncology (ASTRO) will cosponsor a symposium this fall examining the encroachment of translational advances on radiation oncology and malignant neoplastic disease imaging. The two-day coming together, which takes place October 17-18, will bring together some of the world's leading experts and thomas Young investigators in the rising field of molecular imaging.
"Collaborative forums, such as this meeting exploring intersections of molecular imaging and oncology, are critical to forward-moving our apprehension of the underlying causes of disease," said SNM President Robert W. Atcher, Ph.D., M.B.A., emerging medical technology team leader at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico and UNM/LANL Professor of Pharmacy at the University of New Mexico. "Continuing education and opportunities for colleagues to share research ar essential to advancing the practice of molecular imaging - and to helping patients and their charge givers gain the vital information they need in order to effectively treat disease as early as possible."
SNM's financial support of ASTRO's translational symposium is part of the society's broader initiative to partner with other organizations to bring the in style in molecular imaging inquiry to patients. In SNM's initial inter-societal collaboration, SNM and the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) developed a joint seminar on optimizing clinical trials, which was presented at the ASCO Annual Meeting, held in early June in Chicago, Ill., as well as at the SNM Annual Meeting in New Orleans, La., a few weeks later.
"As organizations whose missions focus on advancing health care, we must work together to meet the continual challenges that patients face in order to bring breakthrough technologies and treatments to the patient," said Chaitanya Divgi, M.D., chief of nuclear medical specialty and prof of radiology at the University of Pennsylvania, world Health Organization co-organized this symposium. "Molecular imaging is an built-in step toward achieving the goal of personalized medicine, which promises to render specifically targeted treatments to individuals."
The ASTRO symposium, Translational Advances in Radiation Oncology and Cancer Imaging, will be held at the Westin Arlington Gateway in Arlington, Va. and will bring medical professionals and scientists together to explore and plowshare research on the uses of molecular imaging in the detective work, diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Additional supporters of this coming together include the Radiological Society of North America and Radiation Therapy Oncology Group.
Molecular imaging is an essential component for the early detection and diagnosis of many types of cancer, including ovarian, cervical, lung and prostate cancer. Using state-of-the-art equipment and on the dot targeted tracers, molecular imagery enables physicians to see how disease functions within the body.

Conor Oberst Almost Crushes Beer Can to Forehead at Show
Photo: Diana Sabreen
During much of his sold-out Bowery Ballroom set last night, Conor Oberst treated the mike like an adversary, approaching it cautiously and standing near it only when necessary. Instead, he jammed with members of the five-piece Mystic Valley Band, named for an area in Tepoztl�n, Mexico, where they recorded Oberst�s newish, eponymous solo disc. But the boy remains a showman: The silver ring on his hand blurred as he attacked his guitar, which he at times held vertically, and even spun around like a dance partner. And the rollicking �I Don�t Want to Die (in the Hospital)� drew him right out of his shell, as he shouted the lyrics, marched in place, stroked keyboardist Nate Walcott's face and pecked him on the cheek, and finally slammed his half-empty Miller Lite can on the floor, stomped on it, and proclaimed, �I don�t wanna die!� �Vanita Salisbury

Keira�s mom slams media for anorexia rumours
Keira Knightley�s screenwriter mother, Sharman MacDonald, has hit out at media rumours suggesting her daughter is suffering from anorexia � comparing the press to �playground bullies.�
Knightley has long been dogged by rumours that her waif-like figure is the result of an eating disorder, but she has always denied this � blaming her genes for her naturally svelte figure.
Last year, the 23-year-old successfully sued a British tabloid newspaper for publishing an article that accused her of being anorexic and setting a bad example to young girls.
And the star�s mother MacDonald can�t understand why the media is so obsessed with her daughter�s weight.
She tells British newspaper The Sunday Times, �She�s always been thin. She�s her daddy�s daughter, with his long body.
�It�s a playground situation that we�re looking at with the press � it�s a form of bullying � but what can we do?�

Reverend And The Makers triumph at Glastonbury
Reverend And The Makers were greeted by a huge crowd at Glastonbury tonight (June 27) - despite the muddy conditions around the John Peel Stage.
Taking the stage wearing a hoodie and jeans, a mohawked John McClure and his band had the crowd chanting from the opening note.
Starting the set with 'Heavyweight Champion Of The World', despite the sound being rather quiet, McClure bounced around on stage throughout the gig.
Attracting a big crowd, even though the tent space was extremely muddy, the band and their enigmatic frontman proved as entertaining as ever.
Jogging on the spot before launching into 'The State Of Things', McClure whipped the crowd into a singalong frenzy.
Darting from the stage to the front of crowd throughout the set, McClure and his band finished with 'He Said He Loved Me', which saw the band and crowd rocking out through the elongated breakdown.

Juanes Wife In-laws Held Up In Robbery
Colombian pop star JUANES has been left stunned after learning his mother and father-in-law were robbed of valuables in a scary hold-up at their home.
Gun-wielding burglars broke into the Cartagena home owned by actress and model Karen Martinez's parents, while Juanes' wife was visiting her parents and locked all three in a bedroom while they grabbed jewellery, a computer and other valuables.
In total, $6,000 (GBP3,000) was taken in the raid, according to PeopleEnEspanol.com.
The burglars then made off in the family's car.
Local police commander Col. Carlos Ramiro Bravo Mean tells the website, "The three perpetrators have been identified thanks to fingerprints found both in the house and in the family's car, which was recovered after being abandoned."
Neither Martinez nor her parents were hurt in the raid.

Tom Clarke Slams Security At Isle Of Wight
The Enemy frontman Tom Clarke has launched a verbal lashing on the security guards at The Sex Pistols’ Isle of Wight headline performance.
Speaking on a Myspace bulletin Clarke praised the band themselves but couldn’t understand the behaviour of security guards and some members of the crowd.
He wrote: “The sound was spot on, the band were spot on, Rotten was bang on, snarling like it was 1976.
“Everyone around us was steaming, having a mint night. Now, don’t get me wrong, I know security are there for everyone's safety, but the security steward near us was taking anyone dancing aside and telling them to stop.
“No one was allowed on anyone's shoulders, and just as Rotten tried to rouse the crowd and get us to step out of our 'so reserved' British shells and have a good time, some old geezer behind me and Liam (Watts, The Enemy drummer) taps us on the shoulder and tells us to "SSSSSHHHH" because we were singing along to 'God Save The Queen'.
“I wasn't alive in '76, and this geezer was. He probably saw the '60s, when people thought music could genuinely change world politics, and he saw the punk movement tear away from romantic pop slop and say, 'Fuck the rules, fuck the system and lets go and be individual and have a good time'.
“This geezer lived through some of the most important decades of music, politics and society has ever seen and somehow, (he) inexplicably managed to miss the point completely.
“Most of the crowd were top, taking no notice of the over-cautious security staff. But a lot were doing exactly as they were told and were quietly enjoying them.
”HOW CAN YOU ENJOY THE MOST IMPORTANT PUNK BAND EVER, QUIETLY?
“In my humble view this country, and our freedom to have a laff, is being strangled by red tape. Health and safety madness. Dancing is not dangerous. Never was.
“If we can't have fun at a Sex Pistols gig, where are we all meant to go to let off some steam?”
Were you at the gig? Were the crowd too quiet? Let us know by posting your comments below.

Inspired by Scandinavian one-woman black alloy entrepreneurs like Bathory's Quorthon, Burzum's Count Grishnach, and the ubiquitous Mortiis, San Francisco native Jeff Whitehead adoptive the nom de guerre Wrest in 1998 and before long began self-recording and cathartic demos under the Leviathan aim. Within five years, these already numbered more than a dozen and were partially compiled on 2002's Verräter aggregation; simply Leviathan continued to favor short-form demos, EPs, and split releases (with the likes of Crebain, Xasthur, and Sapthuran) in the years that followed, only committing to full-length efforts with 2003's The Tenth Sub-Level of Suicide and 2004's Tentacles of Whorror. Wrest has besides contributed his undead outspoken talents to albums by Sunn 0))).
