doreen gerber, patient: i certainly feel so much better after these treatments.se all my hair. i'm not bloated any more. so far, the results of this experimental genetic study are encouraging. dr. pegram: we see no evidence of recurrence of the ovarian cancer following her gene therapy treatment. but patients will continue to be monitored to determine the long-term results of this new treatment technology. another class of drugs, known as angiogenesis-inhibiting drugs, also hold great promise in the ongoing battle with cancer. these drugs cut off the blood supply to tumors, depriving them of the nouriment necessary for growth. dr. glaspy: the angiogenesis-inhibiting drugs... there are a lot of them out there. some of them have exciting pre-clinical data. they're in early clinical trials, and they may sort of change this gameboard a lot for us. then we... get into the realm of experimental treatments, drugs like herceptin, which... attack something that's different about a cancer cell, and make that cell either stop growing, or make it more sensitive to treatment

doreen, think back, september 30th of 2008. t.a.r.p. didn't get cdone. the dow dropped 770 points. by that friday the deal was done. markets may be the last place to have influence here. >> well, i'm not sure about that. i think we saw after the election you saw a 1,000-point drop in the dow right away and i think that was in anticipation of what we think is going to happen. i think it was fairly obvious then that we were not going to get a deal here out of washington and unfortunately it's even more obvious today. >> so markets are already pricing this in. come january 1, no surprise you're saying? >> while you all speak, let's put up a chart of what the s&p 500, which is what many of your 401(k)s may look like has done this year. in fact just look at that extreme right edge where you see this drop in the last few days. this thing is up 12, almost 13% this year. not a bad year. >> no, it's not a bad year but it's a huge disconnect between reality and what's going on in the market. people use the markets very differently than they used

. >> let's ask doreen mowing guevara about the market we're seeing.ink about the market and is it moving in the right direction? >> things moving are apple and material stocks on back of chinese data. apple obviously dragging down the techs. so two sectors my guys are focusing on anyway. and but i think you've seen most of the action you will see before the end of the year, you saw right fter the election. this seems to be a little bit lack luster. not too much volatility here and there. >> how do you play it? apple is down most recent lows. it wasn't far off the 505 mark i saw. this was a $700 stock. how are you guys playing it over there? >> we're not trading it but other clients are. i think a lot of people are expecting numbers will get cut by a lot of big banks next week. we saw one ubs number cut already today. >> talk about the fiscal cliff and what you think people are anticipating. do you think washington is ultimately going to get something done? >> no. i don't think anybody does. i think that's what most people are anticipating, what we hav

we will move on to doreen in connecticut. caller: i'm a small business owner. host: what kind of business? caller: i do alterations. in the evening return our business into a zumba class for ladies. my daughter and i seem to be doing pretty good. the ladies we hire as seamstresses are independent contractors. these are skills they got from their parents who taught them how to sew. we just went and put out advertising saying we needed seamstresses and we got six good seamstresses. we pay them enough that they can get their own health-insurance and they seem to be doing pretty well. i don't think that giving people the assistance in helping to further their endeavors is a bad thing. i think people who tried to stop people from making it further, they are just being selfish, because you can help individuals if they have skills. they don't have to have a college education to have certain skills. you can use those skills to your advantage and still help them along the way. they can get thrown help insurance. small businesses really are not hurting in the way they ar

i remember doreen speckman always used to ask people do you like office supplies, do you like art supplies. if you do you'll probably be a quilter. one of the things that most art stores will carry and a lot of quilting shops will carry too, because they know quilters like these templates is a circle template. you get various widths. they only can be so big because they're in 8 1/2 x 11 format. but for some of the circles on marianne haak's quilt, you can use this to draw your circle. that's one way to do it. we're going to put that there. if you didn't have one or a shop nearby to get one -- and you needed bigger circles -- you could just look around your house. there is a wonderful tip here. let's turn it over. it's a dinner plate. it's a salad plate. it's a pie plate. i like how you're thinking, mom. a cherry pie. i better not think about that. but a salad plate or a pie plate is a great circle size. i think marianne's -- some are like pie pans. i have many a time when i've needed a specific size i'll take my ruler and go to the cupboard and i will measure if it matters. this quilt it d
