Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in the world. It is even more common in developed countries.
Since 2006, colorectal cancer is the most prevalent cancer and the third leading cancer death cause in Taiwan. More than ten thousands of people were diagnosed with colorectal cancer every year. In United States, it is the second leading killer. In 2007, 142,672 people were diagnosed with colorectal cancer, and 53,219 people died from it.
Colorectal cancer can take many years to develop. An early detection greatly improves the chances of survival. Therefore, screening for the disease is recommended in individuals who are at increased risk. The treatment depends on the stage of the cancer. If colorectal cancer is caught at early stages (with little spread) it can be curable. However, at later stages (when distant metastases are present), it may be difficult to cure and surgery remains the primary treatment, while chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy may be recommended depending on the individual patient's staging and other medical factors.

蔣介石領導中華民國近半個世紀，他一生的作為及思想，對中國、臺灣、甚至世界都有重大的影響。他自1915年開始寫日記，迄1972年，前後五十七年，從未中斷。日記涵蓋的歲月，正是中國從封建社會轉型為近代工商社會的歷程，期間發生的重大事件，辛亥革命、北伐、抗日、內戰、遷台、建設臺灣等等，他無役不與，並且是主導人物。日記詳細記錄下他每天決策、思考的心路歷程，字字句句牽動著近代中國的奮鬥與掙扎，是瞭解中國近代史必不可少的重要資料。比方說，蔣介石如何在國民黨內迅速崛起？

Title: "山裡來的孩子” 人間有愛
Date: Sunday, May 22 Time: 2:30pm – 4:00pm
Place: 221 Concord Ave., Belmont, MA (Room 145, Belmont High School)
Abstract:
千山不獨行
我覺得世界上的事情都是有一定的緣份.更加深信「上天關了這扇門,必定會為你開另一扇窗」。2008年，年底，我的朋友邀請我參加全國棒球協會到南投山區拜訪當地的原住民小學的活動，去關心他們的生活，在南投縣信義鄉的地利國小校園裡幾位「兄弟象」的大哥哥們和孩子們打成一片，聽到孩子們開心的笑聲，看到小朋友燦爛的笑容，我心裡很有感 觸，開始思考我能夠為他們做點甚麼？這些孩子，有的是單親，有的是隔代教養，有的母親是外籍配偶，我將分享我和原住民孩子們交流的經驗。
每一個孩子都是父母的肉、國家的寶，我覺得有生之年，能為台灣的孩子們做點甚麼，就盡力而為吧！讓我們一起行動來關心原住民孩子們吧!
