Can You Believe It?
Ronald McDonald to Take a Break Due to Creepy Clowns Around the US
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12 (UPI) -- There are plenty of people who are generally creeped out by clowns, but recent reports of clowns threatening children and random people have raised a lot more concern about those dressed in facepaint, giant shoes and wacky clothes.
In response to the growing public concern about clowns, McDonald's announced Tuesday the company would downplay mascot Ronald McDonald's role at community and family events for the time being.
Ronald McDonald has been the fast food restaurant's mascot since 1963, when he was played by former Today Show host Willard Scott. Although McDonald has been criticized for encouraging children to eat unhealthy food, he also has become significantly recognizable around the world because of his prominent use in marketing.
The company said in a statement it was being "mindful of the current climate around clown sightings in communities" and would "be thoughtful with respect to Ronald McDonald's participation in community events for the time being."
There have been clown sightings reported in 13 states, including one seen this week clinging to the back of a public bus and another in August that was wandering around Green Bay late at night.

Despite Strides Against All Cancers,
Liver Cancer Rates on the Rise
(BPT) - More people are surviving cancer, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS). From 1991 to 2012, the rate of cancer deaths declined about 23 percent. Despite that progress, one type of cancer has actually become more common - liver cancer. New cases have tripled in the past 36 years and death rates also increased during this period. From 2003 to 2012, death rates increased by 2.7 percent per year. In 2016, the ACS estimates more than 39,000 new cases will be diagnosed and over 27,000 people will die from liver cancer.
What's driving the increase in liver cancer when so many other types of cancer are declining? Multiple factors could be in play, says Thomas F. Nealon III, national board chair and CEO of the American Liver Foundation (ALF).
"Decreased tobacco use, as well as improvements in detection and treatment, is thought to have contributed to the overall decline in cancer death rates," Nealon notes. "However, researchers have found an increase in heavy drinking and binge drinking in some areas of the country. Other significant liver cancer risk factors such as obesity and hepatitis have also increased."
Know the risk factors
Education, increased awareness and early detection have helped drive decreases in some of the most common forms of cancer, including breast, colorectal and prostate cancers. Among other advocacy and research organizations, ALF and Bayer hope to achieve the same success with efforts to boost awareness of liver cancer.
"It's important for people to learn about liver cancer risks, the value of early detection and liver cancer treatment options," Nealon says. "Our Are You At Risk? campaign aims to provide actionable information in the fight against liver cancer."
Liver cancer can be difficult to detect in its earliest, most treatable stages, so it's important to be aware of liver cancer risk factors and what you can do to reduce your risks. It may be possible to reduce liver cancer risks by limiting alcohol consumption, eating a healthy diet, controlling weight and protecting against Hepatitis B and C. These are the most common risk factors thought to contribute to liver cancer, along with family history.
Other risk factors include:
* Exposure to arsenic in drinking water - Naturally occurring arsenic can contaminate drinking water and affect the liver.
* Being of a certain ethnicity - Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders have the highest liver cancer rates in the U.S.
* Steroid use - Anabolic steroids may increase cancer risks.
* Travel - People may be exposed to Hepatitis B while traveling in countries where the disease is common.
Know the symptoms
Only a doctor can diagnose liver cancer, but it's important to be aware of possible symptoms. Liver cancer signs often don't appear until later stages, but talking to a doctor at the first sign of a problem could aid in earlier detection.
Common liver cancer symptoms include:
* Fatigue
* Loss of appetite and feeling full too quickly after eating very little
* Nausea and vomiting
* Unplanned weight loss
* Pain in the abdomen or right shoulder blade
* Fluid buildup or swelling in the abdomen
* Jaundice
"As with many forms of cancer, early detection can make a difference in treating liver cancer," Nealon says. "Being aware of risk factors and symptoms could help people get diagnosed and begin potentially life-saving treatment much sooner."

Fire Safety Reminders to Protect
Your Home and Family
(BPT) - With Fire Prevention Week taking place from October 9-15, it's a great time to evaluate your home for fire safety. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) September 2015 Structure Fires Report, U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated average of 357,000 home fires per year between 2009-2013, causing $6.9 billion in damage and 2,470 deaths. The NFPA cites cooking equipment, heating equipment and electrical distribution systems as the three leading causes of accidental home fires, but there are steps homeowners can take to help prevent them. To help protect your family in the event of a home fire, there are several safety tips and steps that you can take. The NFPA recommends testing your smoke alarms regularly and replacing them every 10 years to best help protect your family and home, but there are several safety tips and steps you can take to further help prevent a fire before it happens. Here are three to consider:
Clear your cooking space. With hot ovens and stovetops, some of which even contain open flames, it's not surprising that cooking equipment is the leading cause of accidental home fires. It's important to be aware of your cooking area before, during and after food preparation. Make sure that anything flammable, such as dish towels, pot holders or food containers are moved away from hot surfaces or flames, and that all cooking utensils, like pots, pans, spoons or ladles, are removed from ovens before preheating. Also, take special care and read cooking directions carefully when using flammable ingredients or equipment, such as oils or deep fryers.
Understand your electrical system. Although there are several ways to recognize potential risks of an electrical fire in your home, most homeowners are not aware of the signs or what to look for. For example, keep an eye out for discolored or warm outlets, which are signs of an electrical failure or malfunction and a potential electrical fire. Other signs of electrical issues are flickering or dimming of lights, frequent issues with blowing fuses, or smelling a burning or rubbery odor from appliances. Other often overlooked electrical fire safety tips include using extension cords for temporary needs only, never running cords under rugs or pinched beneath furniture, and to not overload electrical outlets. Though convenient, these common mistakes can result in serious fire hazards.
Purchase and install safety products. In the chance a fire does occur in your home, safety equipment such as smoke detectors and fire extinguishers can mean the difference between life and death, but homeowners should also install devices that can help to prevent fires. Given that 50 percent of the electrical fires that occur each year could be prevented with Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) Outlets, it seems logical that homeowners should install them. AFCIs, like Leviton's SmartlockPro AFCI Outlet, detect a wide range of arcing electrical faults, which are dangerous and could lead to electrical fires. Once an AFCI Outlet detects an arcing fault, it immediately shuts off power to help prevent potential ignition of a fire. These are important to have in living areas like bedrooms, living rooms and kitchens to protect homeowners from unexpected electrical hazards.
