The relationship between man and dog dates back before recorded history. And now there?s a medical relationship to consider.
We share a lot in common. We?re both pack animals, we both hunt, love to play and, unfortunately, we both suffer the same types of cancer.
?Dogs get breast cancer, brain cancer, lymphoma and melanoma. So, 2 million dogs, our foundation, our charter mission is, why?? Pondering that question is founder of 2 million dogs Luke Robinson.
The relatively new study of canine cancer as it relates to humans is called comparative oncology. ?To try to discover that common link in cancer between pets and people,? says Robinson.
2 million dogs founder Luke Robinson says studying this mysterious connection will benefit both man and dog. ?I truly believe that dogs, our canine counter parts, hold the key to the mystery of cancer.?
Breast cancer survivor Wendy England says her dog Daisy, a Rottweiler and Sheppard mix, was aware of Wendy?s cancer before Wendy was diagnosed.
?On the side I had my tumor Daisy would flail and pull away. But on the side that I didn?t, nothing. And I consistently did that until I had my surgery.?
After surgery, Daisy showed no reaction whatsoever to Wendy and Wendy knew she was cancer free. Her doctor confirmed that at a later exam.
?I think they, (dogs), hold the key. And in all respects dogs, we know, can sense cancer in humans. It makes absolute sense,? said Robinson. Robinson hopes to someday unlock this medical mystery between dog, and his best friend, man.

?How many?? I asked Mike. He repeated, ?I?m working on number thirteen.? That?s books he has written! He continued. ?I sell 100-150 books for $2.99 every day on Amazon. I only make 70 cents per book, but it adds up. Once you have a following, they look for your next book.?
I walked away, astonished. No wonder Mike hasn?t been coming to my writers? group?he?s too busy writing, publishing, and selling. Then the sin took root as I thought, ?He started writing after I did. I?ve only published one book in the same amount of time, and I had a co-author to do that.? I didn?t feel wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, or gluttony?but I sure had a bad case of the sixth deadly sin: ENVY.
The sin has stayed with me all week, so here I am, trying to get rid of it by writing. I hardly recognize myself because typically I?m an encourager, cheering people on with whatever they are trying to accomplish. I celebrate their successes with genuine joy. But now? Envy. A sense of losing the competition?and I didn?t even know there was a competition. Resentment isn?t an issue as I?m truly happy Mike has done so well. I just covet his productivity.
There?s a real downside to being envious. I instantly felt my self-esteem slip and my sense of accomplishment shrink. If this continues, it may rob me of the happiness and satisfaction I?ve experienced so far. Then there?s the scary picture Dante paints in Purgatory where the punishment for envious people is to have their eyes sewn shut with wire. Definitely not good for a writer!
?What to do? Continue to let envy poison me, or change something? One choice is to ?count my blessings? by looking at what I have accomplished. Yes, progress sometimes seems slow, but it is happening. Betsy and I have sold more than three thousand books, and been featured on several radio and television shows as well as teleseminars. The book has garnered national recognition, and just this summer, I won 3rd place for Chapter 2 in the Writers-Editors Network International Writing Competition. Speaking opportunities are increasing, too. But best of all is when women tell me, ?Your book changed my life.? How much more can an author be rewarded than that?
I?ve read that ?greatness lies in following your own path.? Obviously, Mike?s and my paths and purposes diverge. He writes killer-thrillers to entertain while I focus on self-help. Comparisons are futile, and I must appreciate the value of my own chosen path.
His success can weigh on me or I can use it as an inspiration to do better, to motivate myself. For starters, I have an e-book nearly ready to be published. It gathers a dozen of my TTN columns in one place. All it needs are a few administrative pages and a cover, then conversion to e-book format, and, voila! a new publication for a broader market. What?s the holdup? Prioritizing and procrastinating. I need to be more like Mike by minimizing extraneous activities and focusing on finishing.
My attitude sorely needs an adjustment, also. When I start my negative self-talk, I?ll counter it with, ?The average book sells one hundred copies; you?re far past that,? and, ?You?re making a difference in women?s lives.? I?ll choose to smother envy by practicing its opposite?generosity?which has the wonderful effect of uplifting me, too. In my journal, I?ll take the advice I often give others to write down what I?m grateful for today, and what excites me about tomorrow. Gratitude will produce a more positive attitude.
Where?s my envy now? Gone! My eyes are not wired shut, and all I have to say is, ?Go, Mike!?
(P.S. You?re not going to believe this?I sure didn?t? but the first time I typed the word ?envy,? the print turned RED and I could not make it go away. I had to start all over!)

Uninstalling Windows 8 Uninstalling From A Dual Boot Configuration

Hi All!!
I recently installed Windows 8 on my computer. I installed it by shrinking my D: drive and creating a new partition. Then, as I was installing Windows 8 I indicated that I wanted to do a separate install on this new partition. Everything went well and now when I boot my computer the first thing I see after the bios screen is a menu to select either Windows 7 or Windows 8.
My question is... how do I get rid of the Windows 8 install? Can I just boot into Windows 7 and delete the Windows 8 partition? Is there anything I need to do manually to remove Windows 8 from the boot menu?
What I am afraid of is when I delete the Windows 8 partition and reboot I will get a boot error saying it's missing the OS (Windows 8).
Thank you!

After a few days of recuperating at home following treatment for cancer, Cardinal Francis George will head Sunday to north suburban Mundelein to make his annual retreat.
George?s retreat plans were announced by Rev. William Woestman at mass Saturday at Holy Name Cathedral, the seat of the Chicago Archdiocese over which George presides. Woestman asked those gathered to pray for George after he underwent a procedure Wednesday to remove cancerous cells in his kidney and liver.
?Although he?s 75, he?s very strong,? Woestman said. ?So we pray especially for him so he may continue for a few more years? as cardinal.
Parishinoers were later asked join in a petition asking that George and ?all those who are receiving treatment for cancer ... receive the grace needed for healing and the endurance needed for peace.?
Those attending mass said they were thinking of George and wishing him well.
?He?s a good man and we pray for him, said Gerda Joseph, an 82-year-old parishioner at Holy Name. ?I know him as a nice guy, a thoughtful guy, a smart guy who doesn?t beat around the bush,? she said.
Jon Meek, 38, of Arlington Heights, said he was praying for George to ?regain his health and strength.? A testicular cancer survivor, Meek said he appreciated a special living Stations of the Cross that the Archdiocese put on specifically for those with cancer and those caring for them.
Karen DeRose of Deerfield was also praying for the Cardinal.
?I hope things work out the best they can,? she said. ?I?m praying for him and I hope it goes well.?

Muslims around the world on Saturday started celebrating the Eid al-Fitr, the feast that marks the end of the month of Ramadan this weekend.
The Muslim holy month devoted to dawn-to-dusk fasting, prayers, good deeds and abstinence from worldly pleasures culminates with the holiday of Eid al-Fitr. In most places Eid is usually celebrated up to three days and is a public holiday.
Shoppers flooded markets in India to stock up on food and other treats and in Pakistan, women decorated their feet and hands with henna tattoos. Other people gave prayers by themselves or with large crowds in the Philippines and Indonesia.
Here is a look at celebrations of Eid al-Fitr around the world.
