Reader?s Digest Is Alive And Growing In The Digital World

Hey, remember Reader's Digest? It's a magazine that I can saw on lots of shelves when I was growing up. Now Editor in Chief Liz Vaccariello tells me that the magazine has undergone a "digital transformation", especially this year, and it's finding a growing audience on tablets, with digital sales set to exceed newsstand copies by December. As with other large, general interest publications, Reader's Digest has had a bumpy few years. Back in 2009, it went from 12 issues a year to 10, as well as cutting the guaranteed circulation from 8 million to 5.5 million. It even filed for bankruptcy.

Scientists find blood signatures for aggressive prostate cancer

LONDON (Reuters) - Scientists have found two distinct genetic "signatures" for prostate cancer that may help doctors predict which patients have aggressive tumors, and designed experimental blood tests to read those genetic signs like barcodes.

The teams, whose work was published on Tuesday in the Lancet Oncology journal, believe tests developed from the signatures could eventually be used to tell which patients need immediate treatment.

"Prostate cancer is a very diverse disease - some people live with it for years without symptoms but for others it can be aggressive and life-threatening," said Johann de Bono, who led a study at Britain's Institute of Cancer Research. "So it's vital we develop reliable tests to tell the different types apart."

Researchers in Britain and the United States found that by reading the patterns of genes switched on and off in blood cells, they could accurately detect which advanced prostate cancer patients had the worst survival rates.

Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men after lung cancer. There were 899,000 new cases diagnosed worldwide in 2008, the last year for which there is full global data, according to the World Health Organisation's International Agency for Research on Cancer.

While many cases can progress quickly, spreading to other organs and becoming deadly, experts say as many as half of prostate cancers are likely to remain confined to the prostate and are unlikely to become life-threatening.

The problem has always been knowing accurately, and at an early stage, which tumors are most likely to kill.

Although tests for aggressive forms of prostate cancer already exist, experts say they are only moderately accurate.

De Bono said scientists can learn more about prostate cancers by the signs they leave in blood. This allowed his team to develop a test potentially more accurate than those available now and easier for patients than taking a biopsy, he said.

"Our test reads the pattern of genetic activity like a barcode, picking up signs that a patient is likely to have a more aggressive cancer. Doctors should then be able to adjust the treatment they give accordingly," he said in a statement.

GENE ACTIVITY

For his study, De Bono's team scanned all the genes in blood samples from 100 patients in London and Glasgow with prostate cancer. They included some already diagnosed with advanced cancer and some thought to have low-risk, early-stage cancer.

Using statistical modeling, the team divided the patients into four groups according to patterns of gene activity and, after almost two-and-a-half years, they found patients in one group had died significantly earlier than those in the others.

They pinpointed nine key active genes shared by all patients in that group, and when they tested another 70 Americans with prostate cancer, they again found these genes identified patients who survived for a shorter time - around 9 months compared to over 21 months for those without the gene pattern.

The second study by researchers in the United States identified a set of six genes linked to a more aggressive form of prostate cancer in a group of 62 patients at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. The signature divided patients into two groups: one with an average survival time of 7.8 months and the other with an average survival of at least 34.9 months.

The British team said their signature included several genes involved in the immune system - suggesting the immune system is suppressed in patients whose cancers spread around the body.

Commenting on the work in The Lancet Oncology, Karina Dalsgaard Sorensen at Denmark's Aarhus University Hospital, who was not involved in either study, said the findings were welcome and significant.

"These results suggest that a few selected genes in blood samples from patients...can significantly improve the prediction of outcomes," she said. (Reporting by Kate Kelland, editing by Andrew Heavens)

DETROIT (AP) ? Detroit's police chief stepped down Monday after a week of embarrassing revelations about a sexual relationship with a subordinate, forcing the city to search for a fifth leader in four years for a department dealing with one of the nation's highest violent-crime rates.

During a news conference, Mayor Dave Bing said he didn't force Ralph Godbee's departure after 25 years in the department and the last two as chief. Still, he said it was the "right decision" for Godbee to leave.

"He was very contrite, I think embarrassed," Bing said. "He felt he had let me down. He felt he had let the department down. He felt he had let the citizens of Detroit down. We're not perfect individuals, and a lot of us make mistakes. This one was very costly."

Godbee has not publicly commented on the revelations of his affair with Angelica Robinson, an internal-affairs officer. There was no mention of the scandal in an eight-paragraph letter from Godbee to Bing that announced the retirement. A copy was released to reporters after the news conference.

Bing placed Godbee on a 30-day suspension last week pending an investigation into the claims by Robinson's attorney that the 37-year-old woman had wanted the relationship to end but that Godbee did not.

Robinson posted a photo of herself with her police gun in her mouth on the social media site Twitter after learning Godbee was at a police conference a week ago in San Diego with another woman, attorney David Robinson said.

He said Godbee had other officers locate Angelica Robinson and put her under surveillance.

The scandal is another punch in the gut for a department already demoralized by the city's financial woes. Beat officers are working 12-hour days on top of having to take 10 percent pay cuts.

"We cannot look at this incident as an indictment across the entire 2,600-plus police officers," Bing said. "They're under a lot of stress and strain. I sympathize with them. I empathize with them."

Godbee was appointed to the $140,400-a-year chief's job in 2010, after Warren Evans was fired partly for a relationship with another officer, Lt. Monique Patterson.

Godbee also had a romantic relationship with Patterson when she was his subordinate and before she began dating Evans.

The mayor told reporters Monday that he had talked to Godbee "on more than one occasion" about his relationships.

"He confided in me that he had changed his ways," Bing said. "I had no reason not to believe that. ... He didn't live up to those expectations and it leads us to where we are."

Godbee joined the department in 1987 at age 19 and rose to assistant chief in 2007. He left the force but returned as assistant chief in July 2009 when Evans was hired.

Assistant Chief Chester Logan, who had assumed Godbee's responsibilities during the brief suspension, will serve as interim chief while the city conducts a national search for a successor. Logan, an officer for 38 years, said he likely will apply for the permanent job.

Video: How has debate changed White House race?

>> you. ed schultz is the host of "the ed show" on msnbc.

>> good morning, savannah.

>> you're a supporter of the president, your viewers are a supporter of the president. i think everybody in the political spectrum believed he slipped wednesday night.

>> they can't miss the mark again. the margin of error, winning or losing in this campaign or this election is so tight right now, he just can't do it. i mean, there's been such an effort to suppress the vote. those people are now energized after what they saw the other night. the president's team has to bounce back, get on message, be aggressive. you know, talk radio across america people were disappointed. they were frustrated. they saw the perfect opening. i got a phone call from a lady yesterday in pennsylvania who said that, you know, when i'm sitting at home and i know the material better than the president, something owes wrong.

>> it's a question of whether he fought back on substance. there's also the issue of style. people said he seemed checked out, not really present, not engaging. what do you think was going on?

>> there were so many lies coming across the stage and so many inaccuracies it was hard to decide which one he wanted to protect first. the president's personality is he's bookish, likes to explain things. not somebody that will put things in a two or three-line thing.

>> sounds like you're making excuses for the president.

>> look back at president obama , the interviews he does, he like to get details. he's not had as many debates as mitt romney . romney knows where president obama is weak. woman any went in there from the opening answer the other night, he was aggressive. he was the guy in the board room , the corporate shark, knew how to get this audience done and was going to run over everybody. i think that might play to his disadvantage in the long run.

>> let me ask you about the 47% remarks. mitt romney said on fox the other night he thinks they were completely wrong, those remarks. initially he stood by them. do you see a larger change in strategy in the romney campaign?

>> it is mandatory. he can't go to ohio and explain the 47% without correcting that. this is definitely a redirect on the part of the campaign, and they are doing it at the right time. they are doing it -- this is actually the most momentum that mitt romney has had throughout this whole campaign. this is the perfect time to make that correction, but are people going to believe it? that's the question.

>> very quickly, what do you think president obama does for the next debate? do you think he'll be more aggress sniff is there a danger of overcompensating now?

>> he has to forget that. he has to go right at it. he has to be detailed, has to be aggressive. the thing that's so frustrating i think for liberals is they know that the president has accomplished a lot without any help from the republicans. that's a fact. that's not attacking your opponent.

>> ed schultz , good to get your perspective this morning.

>> thank you, savannah.

>> see "the ed show" weeknights at 8:00 p.m . eastern on
