Leukemia

New Cases, Incidence and Deaths
Available statistics are from the U.S.
Every 4 minutes one person is diagnosed with a blood cancer.
An estimated 139,860 people in the United States will be diagnosed with leukemia in 2010. New cases of leukemia account for 9.5 percent of the 1,479,350 new cancer cases diagnosed in the United States this year.
Every ten minutes, someone dies from a blood cancer. This statistic represents nearly 146 people each day, or more than six people every hour. Leukemia causes more deaths than any other cancer among children and young adults under the age of 20. In general, the likelihood of dying from most types of leukemia, lymphoma or myeloma decreased from 1996 to 2005 (the most recent data available).

A quick word to make you realize the plug ins foldr is accessible. Which is a safety concern. To get rid of, put a empty index file in there.
