I love all things Martha. I love her magazine, her old magazine (RIP, Blueprint), her mind-boggling multitasking abilities, her droll conversational style, and, yes, those who model themselves as the antithesis of Martha (such as Not Martha). So, imagine my delight when I found out that there was going to be a new Martha Stewart show on the telly.

File this under random news of the day: in addition to his stints with Martha Stewart, Discovery, and the Fine Living Network, celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse is getting ready to open his own sports-themed restaurant.
Nation's Restaurant News reports that the sports restaurant, aptly named Lagasse's Stadium, will take over a space in Las Vegas resort The Palazzo. In addition to a lounge, the 24,000-square-foot spot will have stadium-style seating, luxury boxes for private events, and custom viewing walls with 100 HDTV screens.

New Guidelines for Localized Prostate Cancer
In 2007, the American Urological Association (AUA) released updated guidelines for treatment of localized prostate cancer. The guidelines recommend that:
- Patients should be classified as low, intermediate, or high risk, depending on their PSA levels, cancer stage, and tumor aggressiveness.
- Doctors need to consider patients’ personal preferences and quality of life concerns as well as their clinical status.
- Standard treatment options include active surveillance (watchful waiting), surgery, or radiation therapy. Initial androgen deprivation therapy (hormone therapy) is seldom recommended for localized prostate cancer.
New Guidelines for Androgen Deprivation Therapy
- The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2007 guidelines recommend that doctors delay androgen deprivation therapy for advanced prostate cancer until patients develop symptoms.

Smoking and Skin Damage
- The skin of smokers ages more rapidly than the skin of non-smokers, even in areas of the body not exposed to sunlight, according to a 2007 study. Women in the study who smoked also had much lower levels of vitamin E secretions in their skin. Vitamin E may protect the skin from sun damage.
- There may be an association between smoking and higher frequency of a type of acne (noninflammatory acne) in adult women, according to a European study.
Antioxidants and Your Skin
- A study in the Journal of Nutrition found that a combination of antioxidants and trace elements supplementation raises the risk of skin cancer in women, but not in men.
Ultraviolet Radiation
- Overall, exposure to ultraviolet radiation from sunlight (radiation referred to as UVA or UVB) accounts for about 90% of the symptoms of premature skin aging.
- UVB primarily affects the outer skin layers.

- About 3,000 nonsmokers die each year of lung cancer resulting from exposure to secondhand smoke, according to a 2006 Surgeon General report.
- Advexin, a genetic therapy that contains the p53 tumor-suppressor gene, is showing promise. A 2006 study in Japan found that out of 13 patients with advanced NSCLC receiving Advexin, 10 had stabilized. Advexin is in Phase II clinical trials for NSCLC.
- Studies are finding that NSCLC tumors in people who never smoked have a much higher rate of epithelial growth-factor receptor (EGFR) mutations.
