Maple syrup joins ranks of broccoli and blueberries as new '' `` one-stop shop '' '' superfood Blueberries , broccoli and fish rich in Omega 3 are among the best known superfoods . But now something rather sweeter can be added to the list of healthy foods containing high levels of antioxidants that boost the immune system . Maple syrup is even being described by scientists in America as a ` one-stop shop ' for beneficial compounds . Tests on the syrup , which is made by boiling sap from the maple tree , found that it contains compounds which could help manage Type 2 diabetes , as well as acting as anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory agents . Researchers identified 54 compounds , twice as many as the syrup was previously thought to have . Five were found to be unique to maple syrup . Several of the syrup 's polyphenol , or water-soluble , compounds inhibited the enzymes that convert carbohydrates to sugars , raising the prospect of a new way of managing Type 2 Diabetes . They also found that many of the antioxidant compounds , which prevent the oxidation and ageing of the body 's cells , are n't found in other natural sweeteners . Dr Navindra Seeram , who led the research at the University of Rhode Island , said : ` We do n't know yet whether the new compounds contribute to the healthy profile of maple syrup . ` But we do know that the sheer quantity and variety of identified compounds with documented health benefits qualifies maple syrup as a champion food . ` It is a one-stop shop for these beneficial compounds , several of which are also found in berries , tea , red wine and flaxseed , just to name a few . ' Explaining the science behind the findings , he said : ` We found a wide variety of polyphenols in maple syrup . We discovered that the polyphenols in maple syrup inhibit enzymes that are involved in the conversion of carbohydrate to sugar . ` In fact , in preliminary studies , maple syrup had a greater enzyme-inhibiting effect compared to several other healthy plant foods such as berries . ' ` By 2050 , one in three people will be afflicted with Type 2 diabetes , so finding a potential anti-diabetic compound in maple syrup is interesting for the scientific community and the consumer . ' The findings of Dr Seeram 's team were presented at the annual meeting of the American Chemical Society in California . Genevihve Biland , marketing director for the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers , one of the sponsors of the research , said : ` Given its amazing potential for human health and great nutritional value , maple syrup is a natural choice for a healthy lifestyle .

U.S. Cancer Rates Continue to Fall Report suggests that better screening , diagnosis and treatments are paying off THURSDAY , March 31 -LRB- HealthDay News -RRB- - The rate of new cancers in the United States has dropped by almost 1 percent a year and the rate of death from cancer has fallen 1.6 percent a year , a new report shows . These declines , seen between 2003 and 2007 , continue a trend that began in the 1990s , the researchers added . Importantly , this is the first time a drop in the rate of deaths from lung cancer among women has been seen , coming a decade after lung cancer death rates started declining in men , they noted . '' `` The drop in lung cancer rates among women is due to women quitting smoking , '' '' said report co-author Lynn Ries , a health statistician at the U.S. National Cancer Institute . '' `` Women started smoking a lot later than men , so the peak in the mortality rate occurred a lot later , '' '' she added . The report is the work of researchers at the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries , the U.S. National Cancer Institute , the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Cancer Society . It is published in the March 31 online edition of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute . Although cancer rates are declining in adults , there has been a rise in cancers diagnosed in children . Most of these involve increases in the incidence of leukemias . However , the rate of death from cancer among children is declining , Ries noted . Ries noted that the reasons for the increase in childhood cancers is n't clear . Among men , the overall cancer rate has remained about the same . In fact , cancer rates in men would have also shown a decline , except for a small rise in the rate of prostate cancer , according to the report . One section of the report focuses specifically on both brain and nervous system cancers and benign tumors . According to the report , benign brain tumors are twice as common as cancerous ones , Ries said . In fact , benign brain tumors account for 75 percent of those in adults and 33 percent of brain tumors in children . '' `` Cancer is not one disease , '' '' Ries said . '' `` The rates for some are going up and some are going down , and there are different patterns for men and for women , '' '' she said . For example : Among men , rates of lung , colon , rectum , oral , pharynx , stomach and brain cancers have dropped . But , rates of kidney , pancreas and liver cancers and melanoma have risen . While , among women , rates of breast , lung , colorectal , uterine , cervical , bladder and oral cancers have dropped . But , rates of kidney , pancreas and thyroid cancers , and leukemias and melanomas , have risen . Racial disparities in cancer still exist , the researchers noted , and the cancer death rate is highest among black men and women , even though the cancer death rate for blacks dropped significantly from 1998 to 2007 . In addition , the highest rates of new cancers seen between 2003 and 2007 was among black men . Among women , the highest rate was seen among white women , according to the report . Among both black and white women , breast cancer was the most commonly diagnosed cancer . These differences may be due to variations in risk behaviors , socioeconomic status and access to and use of screening and treatment , the researchers said . Dr. Joseph Rosenblatt , interim director of the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine , attributes declining cancer rates and deaths to a variety of factors . The reduction in the rate of some cancers is mostly due to lifestyle changes , especially people not smoking , he said . On cutting the death rate , Rosenblatt noted that '' `` we have evolved better screening , better diagnostics and better classification of cancers and better treatments , '' '' he said . '' `` We are beginning to see significant decreases . '' '' On the other hand , '' `` we really do n't have a good explanation for why childhood cancers have increased , '' '' Rosenblatt said . Most of the rise is in leukemias , and '' `` the good news is that most leukemias are curable in children , '' '' he said . Rosenblatt expects to see even fewer cancer deaths in the future . '' `` The treatments on the horizon are extraordinary , '' '' he said . This change is being brought about by better understandings of how different cancers work and then developing targeted treatments , Rosenblatt said . '' `` The war on cancer has been successful , '' '' he concluded . More information

Unveiled : Thirty years of big , fat celebrity weddings In 1981 , as Britain was in the midst of a biting recession , Lady Diana Spencer married Prince Charles , while the world watched . Elizabeth Emanuel , designer '' `` Until Diana 's dress , wedding gowns had been uniformly the same : white , ankle-length , A-line , long-sleeved . We brought the wedding dress into high fashion . Diana was introduced to us by Vogue ; she did n't yet have her own sense of style , but she loved the very theatrical , fairy-tale dresses we made . When she asked us to make her wedding dress , it was life-changing . She told us to be secretive , but there were no instructions from Buckingham Palace , no protocol . There was so much speculation in the press after she wore a gown of ours to an official dinner , the Palace was forced to make an announcement through Reuters . The whole world went mad . There were photographers at the studio constantly and we had to take on security . We left false trails for the tabloids in the rubbish bins and we locked the dress in a trunk every night . We even made a spare dress in case our real design was leaked . On the day itself we realised this was n't just a wedding dress , it was a moment in history . We dressed her at Clarence House , with the bridesmaids and the Queen Mother . Diana was excited but very calm . There was a moment , waiting for the coach , when we all stood in total silence for what seemed like an age . Then she stepped into the carriage and the crowds went mad . '' '' Nicky Haslam , interior designer and writer '' `` Princess Diana 's wedding was extraordinary because it was a royal wedding . One thinks of watching the coronation on newsreels , there 's this incredible formality to it , which does n't exist now . It was certainly very traditional . There was a ball afterwards , given by the Queen , but Prince Charles and Princess Diana were n't there . In those days , the bride and groom left after their reception and went on honeymoon . To give a dance the night of your wedding was seen as incredibly bad form . The last thing you wanted was the bride getting reeling drunk so she could n't consummate her marriage . '' '' Bruce Oldfield , designer '' `` The Eighties was a showy decade . I made a dress for an Australian bride in 1984 . We had three appointments and each time she said the sketches were n't quite right , until she finally said , '' `` You 've missed the point . We want our guests to know we 've spent an absolute bloody fortune and that this is Australia 's royal wedding ! '' '' . Even three or four years after Diana 's fairy-princess dress , wedding gowns were changing to suit the times . This Australian bride wanted the full skirt , but also to be able to detach parts of the dress to reveal her very good figure ; there were moves afoot to sex up wedding dresses . '' '' Rob Van Helden , florist '' `` I started my business in 1986 . Back then , carnations and chrysanthemums were standard wedding flowers , now they 're so unfashionable , as is the way flowers were arranged then -- all mixed together in one big vase . People certainly did n't spend money on flowers . Weddings followed a simple routine : ceremony , reception , meal , dancing . The wedding party sat on a long table and the dance floor was in front of them . Now the DJ is flown in from Ibiza and there 's a secret nightclub revealed behind a curtain at the back of the marquee . '' '' In the nineties , influenced by a growing culture of conspicuous consumption , weddings became more extravagant and individualised , assisted by changes in the law , in 1995 , that meant civil ceremonies could now take place in castles , hotels or stately homes . Meg Matthews '' `` Noel -LSB- Gallagher -RSB- and I were going to get married on Valentine 's Day , 1997 , on a barge in Little Venice , but it got leaked to The Sun so we had to cancel it . Noel said , '' `` Leave it to me '' '' . We went and had our suits tailored at Daniel James in Savile Row -LRB- I had an amazing white suit modelled on the one Bianca Jagger wore to marry Mick , and a hat with a veil -RRB- . Noel said , '' `` The car is picking us up in the morning . We 're going to get married . You ca n't tell anyone '' '' . I remember passing Kate -LSB- Moss -RSB- on the stairs in the morning -- she was living with us at the time -- and I was carrying a huge hat box in my arms . I thought it was so obvious , but she did n't clock it . I knew we were going to Las Vegas , but it was still a secret operation . Noel and I flew there via Phoenix . My mum and dad flew via Chicago . Noel 's mum , Peggy , came via somewhere else . We all met up at the Liberace suite in Caesar 's Palace at midnight , got dressed , then went to the Little Chapel of the West to get married . They played The Beatles , there was a beautiful big cake , flowers -- and bottles and bottles of chilled Cristal . Even Walkers crisps . It was about four in the morning by this time , then we all went for steak and eggs and hit the blackjack tables . It was so much fun , just us , our family and Noel 's manager and his wife . There was all this rubbish printed about Noel being so drunk he could n't remember his wedding , but he was n't even drinking . I drank the Cristal ! For our honeymoon , we went to New York . Everyone flew out -- Dan Macmillan , Kate , DJ Shadow , we were all in our suite , partying . It was n't about going away to a tropical island for a week -- tradition was n't in our heads . It was 1997 , Oasis were at the peak of their career . It was rock 'n' roll ! '' '' Kate Halfpenny , bridal designer '' `` There were so many divorces happening in the late Eighties and early Nineties , marriage just was n't as popular as it had been . Minimalism was in fashion so you had brides like Jemima Khan , in her elegant dress and jacket , or Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy in her simple white sheath dress . '' '' Rob Van Helden '' `` My first huge , huge wedding was that of Prince Pavlos of Greece , in 1995 . I had never seen a wedding like it . It went on for four days and there were 1,200 guests . In the Nineties , flowers became a luxury business . The flower world became like the chef world . You had your celebrity chefs and your celebrity floral designers . '' '' Phillipa Lepley , bridal designer '' `` The fabrics got ever more sophisticated in the Nineties . Those slubby silk dupions , or rough taffetas , were out . The look was cleaner , straighter -- though brides still wore sleeves , which is not the case now . '' '' The new millennium . After the recession of the late Nineties , a bullish economy was reflected in a rise in the average wedding costs , -LRB- from # 10k in the 1980s , to # 15k today -RRB- , giving rise to a new wedding industry , worth millions of pounds -- an industry which was quick to capitalise on the new laws regarding civil partnerships , passed in 2005 , for gay couples , celebrated memorably by the wedding of Sir Elton John to David Furnish . Alice du Parq , Brides Magazine '' `` Martha Stewart launched her magazine in the US in 1994 . It took a few years but by the beginning of the Noughties , her influence was being felt in the UK , too . Here was a new way to do weddings -- personalised , bespoke , hyper-individualised -- which focused on making a visual impression . Couples began to create a continuous theme between the venue , flowers , cake , bridesmaids , cocktail and table décor . '' '' Fiona Leahy , event planner '' `` A lot of upscale , modern weddings are a form of branding -- they 're a way for a couple to impart and share with guests their personal taste . The first wedding I organised was for Dita Von Teese and Marilyn Manson . Their stamp was on everything . It was n't all plastic bats and striptease , it was chic , and quite Victorian in style . Couples are far more imaginative now with their weddings -- especially since there 's no pressure to get married at home . Huge numbers of couples now marry abroad , in France , Italy , Barbados . '' '' Bruce Oldfield '' `` Everything has become more casual in our society , so of course couples want their wedding to be less formal , just as every generation wants less formality than the previous generation . It 's an easing up of the rigours -- which , in a bride , means not having to have a veil over her face , or wear a tiara . Now a wedding is as much about the ceremony as it is about dancing and having a good time with friends . '' '' Nicky Haslam '' `` People clap in church now when the couple kiss . It 's a completely new invention . You never had guests taking cameras into the church , taking pictures of the bride as she walked up the aisle . Nor would you have brides in strapless dresses in the church . Weddings have become more of a public spectacle . They 're more a reason for everyone to get pissed . And they go on far too long -- some are seven-hour marathons . '' '' Kate Halfpenny '' `` No bride wants that strapless , A-line dress that was so popular five years ago . Very few brides want a corset , either , because there is now this obsession with being comfortable on your wedding day . Veils have become very unpopular , they 're seen as too old-fashioned . Which is funny because vintage has been , for the past 10 years , a huge trend in fashion . Some mothers of the bride I see absolutely adore the vintage dresses I make , because they remind them of what they wore themselves on their wedding day . Others hate them for the exact same reason . Although , brides are older now -LRB- and some onto their second or third marriages -RRB- so their mothers have far less say in what they wear -- I 've dressed brides for synagogue ceremonies who were definitely showing cleavage . '' '' Alice du Parq '' `` Princess Diana was just 20 when she got married . It 's rare for a bride to be that young now -- the average bride in the UK is 34 . Today 's 20-year-old is carving out a career , or finishing university , dating , and figuring out the type of woman she wants to be . She 's not thinking about being someone 's wife . Most couples live together for years before they decide to marry . It means that wedding lists have changed , too : people already have the kettle and toaster by the time they walk down the aisle . '' '' Tom Konig Oppenheimer , co-owner of PR firm , The Communications Store '' `` When the civil partnership law changed we initially did n't want to get married -- Adam and I have been together for 14 years , we did n't feel the need . But then we thought , actually , it 's an honour , especially because , for decades , our type could n't be recognised like that . It was a first for everyone , including us . We 'd never been to a gay wedding so we made it up from scratch . We married at Chelsea registry office , then we had 130 for dinner at Tramp 's . I was working with Abercrombie & Fitch at the time ; I thought , if we 're going to be gay , we might as well be really gay , so we got the Abercrombie male models to come and serve vodka , semi-naked . I had recently '' `` won '' '' Thandie Newton at an auction -- so she sang after dinner . Simon Sebag Montefiore wrote the evening up for The Spectator -LRB- God knows what they thought -RRB- and Vogue covered it too -- it was the first time they 'd featured a gay wedding . It was a lovely , joyous night . '' '' As the decade progressed , celebrity coverage became all-pervasive ; couples could now imitate the weddings they saw in glossy magazines . And with the advance of the internet into our lives , couples could now access vast amounts of information -- locations , flowers , food , themes -- making the choice in how they wed almost infinite . Rob Van Helden '' `` I 've done a few footballers ' and celebrity weddings that have been covered in Hello ! . You have to keep the flowers under sheets to stop the paparazzi at the door from spying . Brides often come to me with pictures of Hollywood weddings -- though they do n't realise quite how much those American florists charge . With the vast scope of magazines and the internet , there 's so much more choice , and brides have become more choosy . It 's no coincidence that the term , Bridezilla , has come about . '' '' Fiona Leahy '' `` The internet has made weddings more egalitarian . Unless you were royalty you would n't have your own monogram on your wedding invitation . Now , with computer-generated software , you can make your own . It 's given couples more freedom to be individual and creative . It follows from the way we live now : we blog , we Tweet . It 's all about self-definition . '' '' Weddings became increasingly lavish , until , in 2007 , the credit crunch strikes . Rob Van Helden '' `` The build-up of spending power , up till 2007 , was incredible . It was all about more , more , more , and , '' `` God , did you go to that wedding where there were 20,000 white roses ? '' '' . Then we were all brought back down to earth . People have started to believe in the elegance of a wedding , the simplicity . That less is more . It 's all about a more relaxed sensibility at weddings now . '' '' Fiona Leahy '' `` At a wedding in the Middle East , I organised , as favours for the guests , mahogany boxes containing individual perfume bottles from Henry Jacques in Paris , worth # 500 each . Another occasion , I had to track down albino peacocks for an all-white themed reception . I 've had to fly wedding cakes , business class , in their own seats , and send a driver to France to pick up foie gras for a wedding in Scotland . But I 'm finding fewer people want to be ostentatious in that way now . People still want to be opulent , but in a less showy manner . '' '' Bruce Oldfield '' `` I opened my shop in Beauchamp Place in late 2009 . The first six months were very , very quiet . People were tightening their belts , downscaling their weddings . There was suddenly something vulgar about spending masses of money on a single day . '' '' Vicky Ward , writer '' `` I wrote a book about Lehman Brothers . In August 2008 , a senior-level banker at the firm had rented the biggest , most expensive house in St Tropez for his wedding . It was filled with his bride and all their guests , including those he 'd flown over from the States at great expense , not least the photographer , Terry Richardson , who was there to take their wedding pictures . But where was the groom ? Stuck in New York with a broken leg , and the shit about to hit the fan at Lehman 's . No one in that office was going anywhere . In the end he got the red eye over to France , hobbled up the aisle -- still wearing the clothes he flew in -- saidhis vows , then got straight back on a plane and went home . God only knows how much money was wasted . Lehman 's went down on 15 September . Talk about wedding of the moment . '' '' In reaction to the extravagance , and in line with Britain 's growing eco-awareness , weddings moved towards more low-key celebrations . Mimicking the bohemian atmosphere of a music festival -- or the traditional village fête -- country weddings became all the rage . Kate Halfpenny '' `` The press say that I 'm making Kate Moss 's wedding dress -- I 'm not . I would n't be surprised if she had a quintessentially English wedding , teepees in an apple orchard , fairy lights , but with a rock 'n' roll party edge . That kind of English wedding feels more modern than hiring the Dorchester and a sit-down dinner for 150 . '' '' On 29 april , Prince William will marry Catherine Middleton at Westminster Abbey . Vicky Ward '' `` I think it 's admirable William and Kate are conscious of austerity Britain , but this wedding is important for the world . No one will replace Diana , but Kate is the fairy tale again . There 's no obscure , '' `` Whatever love is '' '' , with this couple , they really do seem to be in love . And everyone wants a wedding that reflects that . We 're in need of a fairy tale . '' '' Bruce Oldfield '' `` Royal weddings tend to be predictable , and this one will be predictable in so far as there are things that have to be done , in ways that are set . But there will certainly be some surprises . We 're making quite a lot of things for the bridal party . People are going for it -- hat makers are busy , shoemakers are busy , glove makers are busy . No one does a wedding like the English . '' ''

England rugby star Ben Foden cautioned for criminal damage England rugby player Ben Foden has been cautioned for causing criminal damage . The Northampton full-back was celebrating his club 's league win over Wasps in central London in the early hours of Monday when trouble flared . Officers were called after reports of an altercation in Old Park Lane , central London , at 0330 BST . Foden , 25 , was arrested then bailed but later accepted the police caution . A 23-year-old received a caution for theft from a vehicle . A Rugby Football Union spokesman said it would wait to see if Northampton would take any action against Foden before deciding its response . The club was unavailable for comment . The former Sale Sharks player scored the only try in England 's 17-9 victory over France at Twickenham in March and has 15 caps to his name .

Virus may have killed polar bear Berlin Zoo 's celebrity polar bear , Knut , drowned after swelling of his brain caused him to collapse and fall into a pool in his enclosure , a post-mortem examination has found . A necropsy of the four-year-old bear , who died suddenly two weeks ago , showed he was suffering from encephalitis , an irritation and swelling of the brain probably brought on by an infection . It remains unclear what that infection was , but Achim Gruber , a professor of veterinary medicine at Berlin 's Free University , said it could have been a virus . '' `` We believe that this suspected infection must already have been there for a long time ... at least several weeks , possibly months , '' '' Mr Gruber said . Knut died on 19 March in front of hundreds of visitors at Berlin zoo . Polar bears usually live 15 to 20 years in the wild and even longer in captivity .

CDC : Drop in U.S. Birth Rates Biggest in 30 Years Less women are having babies in the U.S. , according to a new report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention . The number of births fell 4 percent from 2007 to 2009 , which is the biggest drop for any two-year period in 30 years . Fertility rates for women between the ages of 15 to 44 - also known as the childbearing years - also fell during this same time frame . However , analysts say declines in the early 20th century and in the 1960s and early 1970s were much more dramatic than those currently reported by the CDC . Key findings from the report : - From 2007 through 2009 , birth rates for women aged 15-44 -LRB- fertility rates -RRB- fell for most states and nearly all major population subgroups . - Birth rates declined for all women under age 40 with some of the largest decreases for women in their peak childbearing years . - Fertility rates dropped for all major racial and Hispanic groups with the largest declines among Hispanic women . - Birth rates by live-birth order also fell with the largest declines for third-order births and progressively smaller declines for second - and first-order births . - Fertility rates decreased or were unchanged in every state and the District of Columbia with the largest declines among western and southeastern states . Click here to read the full report from the CDC . The Associated Press contributed to this report .

Evelyne Politanoff : Balenciaga And Spain , The Art Of Cristobal Balenciaga At de Young Museum Cristobal Balenciaga : '' '' His name became synonymous with perfection and elegance . '' '' ~ Baroness Pauline de Rothschild , 1973 On March 26 , 2011 , the Balenciaga and Spain will open at the de Young Museum in San Francisco . The exhibition - curated by Hamish Bowles , European editor at large of Vogue - features 120 haute couture garments , hats and headdresses designed by Cristobal Balenciaga -LRB- 1895-1972 -RRB- . The collection illustrates Balenciaga 's expansive creative vision , which incorporated references to Spanish art - with the iconic 1939 Infanta dress , a modernist interpretation of the dresses worn by the Infanta Margarita in Velazquez 's celebrated portraits - bullfighting , dance , regional costume and the pageantry of the royal court and religious ceremonies . As legendary fashion editor Diana Vreeland described him , '' `` Balenciaga was the true son of a strong country filled with style , vibrant color and a fine history , '' `` who '' '' remained forever a Spaniard ... You can feel the pulse of Spain beat in every garment in Balenciaga and Spain . A dress ruffle and polka-dot patterns inspired by the flamenco dancers ; sumptuous embroidery and embellishments that glitters on a bolero jacket worn by a matador ; clean and simple lines that extrapolate the minimalist rhythms and volumes of the vestments of Spanish nuns and priests ; a velvet-trimmed evening gown aesthetically indebted to the farthingale robe of a Velazquez Infanta . Cecil Beaton hailed him as '' '' Fashion 's Picasso '' '' : '' `` In his work Balenciaga shows the refinement of France and the strengh of Spain . He uses fabric like a sculptor working in marble .

Prostate Cancer Screening Does n't Cut Death Rates : Study And researchers add that widescale testing is linked to overdiagnosis , overtreatment THURSDAY , March 31 -LRB- HealthDay News -RRB- - A 20-year study from Sweden suggests that screening for prostate cancer does not substantially reduce the risk of death from the disease . On the other hand , a good many men might receive false-positive results and overtreatment , adding an element of risk to widescale screening , the researchers report in the March 31 online issue of the BMJ . '' `` In the light of our findings , I would say that the benefit from screening is not sufficient to support mass screening , '' '' said study author Dr. Gabriel Sandblom , an associate professor at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm . '' `` However , '' '' added Sandblom , '' `` the study was initiated more than 20 years ago , when PSA -LSB- prostate specific antigen testing -RSB- was not available and the treatment of localized prostate cancer was not as effective as it is today . I would thus not categorically advise against PSA testing based on an individual decision from a man who feels concern about prostate cancer . '' '' This advice is not out of line with recently updated guidelines on prostate cancer screening from the U.S. government . The recommendations , issued in 2008 , take a dim view of prostate cancer screenings at any age for healthy men and flatly recommend against them entirely for men over 75 . The American Cancer Society has also recently revisited the issue of prostate cancer screening . '' `` A little over a year ago , the American Cancer Society revised its guidelines , which reinforced the message that men need to be informed that there are known benefits , but also limits , to PSA screenings , '' '' said Dr. Durado Brooks , director of prostate and colon cancer at the American Cancer Society . '' `` The American Cancer Society does not encourage nor discourage prostate cancer screenings . '' '' This new study does carry with it several significant weaknesses , Brooks added . In particular , because of the timing and design of the study , most men really only received one and , at most , two PSA tests . '' `` At best , this is a study of one or two PSA tests in men in their late 50s and early 60s , '' '' he said . For the study , researchers looked at all men in the Swedish city of Norrkoping who were between the ages of 50 and 69 in 1987 , a total of 9,026 men . Of these , 1,494 men were screened for prostate cancer - first with a digital rectal exam -LRB- DRE -RRB- and , starting in 1993 , with both DRE and PSA tests - every three years . In 1996 , only men aged 69 or under were screened . The remaining 7,532 men did not undergo screening and served as a comparison group . The mortality rate for men who underwent screening was not significantly different from that in the control group , although tumors in the screened group tended to be smaller and more localized . Commenting on the study , Dr. Chad LaGrange , an assistant professor of urology at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha , said he believes the findings actually add '' `` much more uncertainty '' '' to an already complex problem . With more and more studies on the subject , '' `` guidelines have become vague recommendations , '' '' he said . '' `` We do n't really have any good rules anymore . '' '' The bottom line : '' `` It 's not just as simple as PSA screening either works or it does n't . Patients should talk about it with their doctor , '' '' LaGrange said . '' `` PSA testing should n't be just a reflex anymore . '' '' But the good news hidden here is that the number of prostate cancer deaths continues to decline , whether it be better screening or better treatment , he said . '' `` We 're doing something right , '' '' LaGrange stated . More information

How Royal bridesmaid Pippa Middleton kissed goodbye to all the secrecy over her dress designer Kate Middleton may be keeping her wedding dress creator a closely-guarded secret ... but her sister Pippa seems to have no such qualms . Pippa , 27 , who will be Kate 's head bridesmaid , spent three hours locked in designer Alice Temperley 's West London showroom this week . Mother Carole , 56 , was on hand , helping to fuel speculation that award-winning Ms Temperley , 36 , may design Kate 's dress too . Pippa arrived in her BMW Z4 just minutes ahead of Carole on Thursday afternoon and made no attempt at subterfuge . The Middletons were greeted on the cobbles outside the shop by Ms Temperley , who kissed them on both cheeks . ` Pippa was in high spirits and very smiley , ' said an onlooker . ` She was carrying what seemed to be a shoe bag , so possibly any gown being designed is n't for Kate but a bridesmaid dress for Pippa . ' But Kate , 29 , is a fan of trendy Ms Temperley and wore a black and white dress by the designer for her first official engagement with William in December when they attended a charity carol concert in Norfolk . ` Kate loves Alice 's collections , especially the simplicity of the designs , ' said a source . Ms Temperley has been tipped as Kate 's dress designer , along with Princess Diana 's favourite Bruce Oldfield . But yesterday Ms Temperley 's spokesman said she was unaware that she had been asked to make a dress for Kate or any of her bridal entourage . ` Not that I know of . It 's nothing I can comment on , ' she said . Buckingham Palace said of Pippa 's fitting with Ms Temperley : ` It was a private meeting between two individuals . ' Kate is understood to have commissioned two dresses for her big day on April 29 . She will change from her Westminster Abbey gown into a second dress for the evening reception Prince Charles is hosting at Buckingham Palace . A friend said : ` She is loving the fact no one knows who she will wear . Close friends do n't know . ' Sources believe Brazilian Daniella Issa Helayel , whose dress Kate wore when she and William announced the engagement , has not been asked to create anything for the wedding day . ' Bruce Oldfield , 60 , refused to comment on whether he was designing Kate 's dress after Pippa and Carole were pictured shopping at his West London shop . But it is widely believed that he is designing an outfit for Carole . Meanwhile , The Mail on Sunday can reveal Kate will have six hairdressers on her big day . Richard Ward and James Pryce , who has been cutting the family 's hair for years , will be joined by four senior stylists at the Goring Hotel in Belgravia . ` Kate had a practise with a hairdresser on Friday and she 's very happy with how everything is going , ' said a friend .

Nicky Hilton shows off her figure in daring lace panel vest top and slashed denim shorts It 's not your average shopping outfit , even in sunny Los Angeles . Then again , Nicky Hilton , 27 , is not your average girl . The hotel heiress put her assets on full display , as she dressed in tiny , cut-off denim shorts and a printed vest-top with a daring panel of black lace across her chest . She paired the outfit with high heel , nude coloured peep toe pumps , which looked like they are not exactly sensible for walking very far . The socialite and fashion designer tends to try and play it a little more low key than her attention loving big sister , Paris , but from time to time she shows that she can demand the spotlight just as much , when she chooses . Nicky was spotting walking out of the Barneys New York yesterday afternoon . She left the shop empty handed , although she tweeted that she had picked up something from reality star-turned-fashion designer Whitney Port 's clothing line . '' '' @whitneyEVEport Love your line ! Just picked up some dresses ! Xo , '' '' Nicky wrote . Last weekend Nicky joined Paris , several other celebrities and 2000 other people to take part in a two mile charity run raising money for the earthquake and tsunami relief efforts in Japan . The ` Tokidoki Youth Relief/Red Cross Run ' was arranged by Transformers star Josh Duhamel and involved his wife Fergie and Glee actress Diana Agron . The charity has sold 90,000 T-shirts and raised over $ 130,000 .

Silk shirts prove immune to recession as sales soar It may not be edgy , but shops are having to restock the wardrobe staple to keep pace with demand Its design is neither edgy nor new , but one item of clothing is proving immune to the economic fallout . The silk shirt has conquered every kind of wardrobe , and now retailers are urgently restocking to keep up with demand . '' `` It is a huge trend , '' '' said Jane Shepherdson , chief executive of Whistles . '' `` Sales are up 200 % for us , and it 's massive for all retailers at the moment . '' '' At mywardrobe.com , buying teams are also reporting phenomenal sales and have reacted by drastically increasing their orders . Such hasty recalibration of stock levels reveals that , while industry watchers had anticipated the trend , which started last autumn , the success of the silk shirt has gone way beyond expectations . Ruth Chapman , owner of Matches , a small chain of luxury boutiques , said she had noticed a correlation between the recession and the silk shirt 's success . '' `` We have found that the current economy really focuses the mind of our customers . They are spending , but they are looking for the best possible design and fabrics and something that will stand the test of time . A silk blouse offers all these things . We can not keep them on the floor at the moment and having just finished the buy for next autumn , they are not going away . '' '' On Friday in central London the silk shirt was everywhere . Indeed Erin Gunn , a 24-year-old sales adviser , was wearing two . '' `` Both are by Acne : the one on top was # 125 from the Outlet and the one underneath was # 180 . I love how comfy and airy they are while still being smart . '' '' Namha Sekhri , a student , also admitted owning several . '' `` I have about five or six . I love them because they 're elegant and feminine , and can be the centrepiece of your outfit , '' '' she said . Unlike some of the more niche trends that the fashion industry often promotes , silk shirts have a broad demographic appeal . '' `` It 's across the board , '' '' Shepherdson said . '' `` Women in their early 20s are wearing them buttoned right up to the neck , while women in their 50s have a few buttons open and wear a piece of jewellery with it . '' '' Last year 's relaunch of the Equipment label , a brand started in the 1980s by Christian Restoin - partner of the ex-editor of French Vogue , Carine Roitfeld - helped kickstart the trend . The label 's signature silk blouses with two front pockets , which cost over # 200 , are seen as the pinnacle of the look , while cult brand Hamilton-Paris 's collection revolves around the silk shirt . And yet when incomes are squeezed , Shepherdson said : '' `` They can be all things to all people ; they go with everything , either at work or an evening event , so they represent great value . '' '' Silk shirt devotee Bridget Cass , a 58-year-old charity worker , yesterday confirmed the longevity of this trend - and its potential pitfalls .

Rotherham forward Nico Steenkamp suspended for banned stimulant after drinking energy supplement Rotherham forward Nico Steenkamp has become the latest player to be suspended after testing positive for the banned stimulant methylhexaneamine , after it was found in a contaminated shipment of the energy drink Anabolic Nitro . Steenkamp on Friday received a three-month ban just 24 hours after Sale Sharks prop Karena Wihongi received a four-month ban for testing positive for the same drug . The Rugby Football Union heard that Steenkamp , a double glazing and window installation fitter , had started taking the drink to combat fatigue as he tried to combine a full-time career with rugby training and matches . He tested positive on Jan 8 when Rotherham played Cornish Pirates . Meanwhile , in the Premiership on Saturday , Northampton coach Jim Mallinder will be hoping that the arrest of Ben Foden on Monday for alleged criminal damage -- and the resultant adverse publicity -- will not slow his team 's momentum . Northampton returned to form with a 39-3 win over Wasps last week and now face Mallinder 's old Sale . `` We need to make sure we are on our game , '' he said . `` We are determined to finish in the top four , and to do that we have to make sure we win our home games . '' Cardiff Blues scrum-half Richie Rees returns to action against the Ospreys after serving a 12-week ban for making inappropriate contact with the eye area of Northampton hooker Dylan Hartley during a Heineken Cup tie in December .

Okla. woman wants to keep disabled kangaroo as therapy pet - Crimesider -LRB- CBS/AP/KOTV -RRB- BROKEN ARROW , Okla. - Oklahoma woman Christie Carr suffers from depression , but says she 's found solace with an unusual therapy pet - a partially paralyzed kangaroo named Irwin . But officials in Broken Arrow , east of Tulsa , say the kangaroo is in violation of a city ordinance banning exotic and wild animals . In an interview with CBS affiliate KOTV , Carr said she is not trying to break the law and in fact brought the animal to the attention od the city . Carr is seeking an exemption from the Broken Arrow City Council to keep the 25-pound great red kangaroo that she cares for much like a child . Irwin - named after '' `` Crocodile Hunter '' '' Steve Irwin - rides in a car seat , is dressed in a shirt and pants each day and is rarely away from his doting caretaker . At the advice of her therapist , Carr began volunteering at a local animal sanctuary , where she met the animal , then just a baby . Less than a week later , the kangaroo ran into a fence , fracturing his neck and causing severe brain damage . Carr volunteered to take the animal home and , while nursing him back to health , developed a bond . Irwin can not stand or walk on his own , although he is slowly gaining back mobility and can hop three or four times in a row with assistance , she said . '' `` Irwin will not live if I have to give him up , '' '' Carr said , adding that she would rather leave town . '' `` I ca n't imagine a day living without him . '' '' Native to Australia , healthy male great red kangaroos can grow up to 7 feet tall , weigh more than 200 pounds and bound 25 feet in a single leap . But because of his accident , Irwin is n't expected to get larger than 50 pounds . Carr told KOTV that Irwin will be mobile , but that '' `` he wo n't get anywhere very fast . '' '' His veterinarian , Dr. Lesleigh Cash Warren , wrote in a letter to the council supporting Carr 's request to keep him . Neutering has also lessened any chance he will become aggressive . Carr 's therapist certified the animal as a therapy pet under the Americans with Disabilities Act . Carr , who is unable to work because of her health , makes sure the animal never leaves her side for more than an hour , often accompanying her on errands and going out to eat . Broken Arrow Mayor Mike Lester said he worries what could happen if Irwin is able to regain full mobility . The council last week delayed considering the issue until an April 19 meeting , to give City Attorney Beth Anne Wilkening and other staff time to research the issue . '' `` There 's just a myriad of things we need to consider , '' '' Lester said . Every exception made sets a precedent , and the council must take that into consideration , Wilkening said . The council may decide to create an exotic animal review committee that would look at each animal on a case-by-case basis , he said .

Dov denies bankruptcy Bankruptcy for American Apparel ? A lot of overblown legalese , says CEO Dov Charney . The struggling hipster clothier said in its annual 10-K report this week that it may be forced to file for Chapter 11 as it reported a shocking $ 86 million loss for 2010 amid plummeting sales and dwindling cash . But Charney - who is occupied not only with saving his apparel company but with fending off a number of sex-harassment suits , including one that accuses him of keeping a former employee as a sex slave - told The Post in an interview yesterday that bankruptcy '' `` is n't in the realm of likely possibilities '' '' for American Apparel . '' `` We 're not going bankrupt , '' '' Charney told The Post , although the famously randy clothing designer stopped short of repeating earlier statements to the media that the chances of a Chapter 11 filing were as little as 1 in 1,000 . '' `` This is going to be the year that American Apparel comes back , '' '' Charney added . '' `` I 'm incredibly excited about all of the opportunities in front of us . '' '' Charney cited progress the retailer has made in replacing and training 1,500 workers that were dismissed following a 2009 immigration bust , as well as spring and summer fashions flowing to stores after several seasons of spotty deliveries . Nevertheless , one source admitted Charney 's vocal optimism is making some executives nervous as the company scrambles to line up fresh sources of financing . '' `` Dov 's optimistic , '' '' American Apparel lawyer Peter Schey told The Post yesterday . '' `` You have to be to achieve what he has . '' '' Shares of the company yesterday plunged as much as 27 percent before recovering to close down just 6.6 percent , at 90 cents . In addition to its miserable results , American Apparel said two partners from key lender Lion Capital have left the board .

Pour on the Syrup - It 's Good For You Researchers have identified compounds in maple syrup with similar anti-inflammatory or anti-oxidant properties as blueberries , green tea and other '' `` superfoods . '' '' '' `` In our laboratory research we found that several of these compounds possess anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties , which have been shown to fight cancer , diabetes and bacterial illnesses , '' '' said lead researcher Navindra Seeram , assistant professor of pharmacognosy at the University of Rhode Island . Initial studies also suggest that polyphenols in the syrup may help keep blood sugar levels in check , important for diabetics , by inhibiting enzymes that are involved in the conversion of carbohydrates to sugar , he said . The discoveries of new molecules in the syrup also provide chemists with leads that could prompt synthesis of medications to fight other diseases . The findings were presented this week at an annual meeting of the American Chemical Society in Anaheim , California and are to be published in an upcoming issue of the Journal of Functional Foods . The study was funded by the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada . A total of 54 beneficial compounds were identified by the researchers in pure maple syrup from Quebec , including five of which have never been seen in nature . Among the new compounds is quebecol - named in honor of the Canadian province of Quebec , which leads the world in maple syrup production . The researchers believe it is created when a farmer boils off the water in maple sap to get maple syrup . It takes 40 liters -LRB- 20.5 gallons -RRB- of sap to make one liter -LRB- two pints -RRB- of syrup . The sweet sap is collected from maple trees in the spring when freezing and thawing cycles cause it to rise and flow from taps hammered into tree trunks . Seeram said the irony of finding a potential anti-diabetes compound in a sweetener is not lost on him . '' `` Not all sweeteners are created equal , '' '' he said . But while it may make a good substitute for high fructose corn syrup on pancakes he discourages anyone from going out and drinking gallons of it in hopes of extracting the benefits .

Is It a Cold ? Or an Allergy ? Symptoms may be similar , but the causes are not FRIDAY , April 1 -LRB- HealthDay News -RRB- - Colds and allergies can cause similar symptoms , and finding out which condition you have is the first step in getting relief , according to the American College of Allergy , Asthma and Immunology -LRB- ACAAI -RRB- . Colds are caused by one of more than 200 viruses that get transmitted from person to person . Allergies , which are not contagious , are caused by allergens , such as pollen , that prompt the immune system to overreact . In spring , high levels of tree and grass pollens cause sneezing and other cold-like symptoms for the estimated 60 million Americans with allergic rhinitis , more commonly known as hay fever . There are a number of ways to distinguish between spring allergies and a cold , says the ACAAI . Colds generally evolve , starting with a stuffy nose , throat irritation and low-grade fever , followed by sneezing and a runny nose with thickening mucus that often turns yellow or green . Common allergy symptoms include sneezing , itchy eyes and nose , but the mucus is typically clear . While colds usually last a week or two , allergy symptoms persist and can even get worse with continued exposure to the allergen causing your symptoms . Spring allergies can last six weeks or more . Aches and fever most likely indicate a cold , while itchy eyes are strong evidence of allergies . A sore throat and cough can occur with allergies , but most likely suggest a cold . Coughing is common in colds but can also be a sign of allergy-related asthma , especially in children . People with a persistent cough should see an allergist , the ACAAI advises .

O O O O O O O O O B O O B O O O O O O B O O O O O O O O O O B O O B B O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O B I O O O B O B O B O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O B O B O B O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O B O B I O B O O B O O O O O O B I O B O O O B O O B O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O B B O O O O O O B O O O O O O O O O B O O B O B I O O O B O O B B O O O O O O O O O O B O B O B O O O O B O O O O O O O O O O O O O B O B O O B B O O O O B O B I O O O O O B O B B O O O O O O O O O O O O B O O O O O O O O O O B O O O O O O O O O B O O O O B O O O O O B O O O O O O O O O B B O O O O O B O O B O O O O B O O B O O
