"Alves was a railway station located near Elgin, in the Scottish administrative area of Moray. The station was the junction where the line to Burghead and Hopeman diverged from the line from Aberdeen to Inverness. History Opened by the Inverness and Aberdeen Junction Railway, then absorbed by the Highland Railway, it became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The line then passed on to the Scottish Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. It was then closed by the British Railways Board in May 1965 as a result of the Beeching Axe. Passenger services on the Burghead & Hopeman branch line (opened in 1862) were withdrawn considerably earlier, by the LMS back in September 1931.Railscot - Hopeman Branch (I&AJR;) www.railbrit.co.uk; 2013-12-23 Goods traffic continued (in the form of grain to the whisky distillery at Roseisle and the maltings at Burghead) until 1992. The section as far the former was reopened in January 1998, but traffic ceased again shortly afterwards and the branch is now disused & overgrown (though still intact).Disused & overgrown Alves to Burghead branch Burgess, Anne Geograph.org 1-03-2011; Retrieved 2013-12-23 The site today Trains still pass the site on the Aberdeen to Inverness Line.

"SEER Cancer Statistics, Age-Specific SEER Incidence Rates, 2003-2007 The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) is a source of epidemiologic information on the incidence and survival rates of cancer in the United States. The Program SEER collects and publishes cancer incidence and survival data from population-based cancer registries covering approximately 34.6% of the population of the United States. SEER coverage includes 30.0% of African Americans, 44% of Hispanics, 49.3% of American Indians and Alaska Natives, 57.5% of Asians, and 68.5% of Hawaiian/Pacific Islanders.National Cancer Institute,"Overview of the SEER Program", retrieved 01DEC2019 The SEER Program registries routinely collect data on patient demographics, primary tumor site, tumor morphology and stage at diagnosis, first course of treatment, and follow-up for vital status. The SEER Program is the only comprehensive source of population-based information in the United States that includes stage of cancer at the time of diagnosis and patient survival data. History SEER began collecting data on cancer cases on January 1, 1973, in the states of Connecticut, Iowa, New Mexico, Utah, Hawaii, and the metropolitan areas of Detroit and San Francisco-Oakland. By 2001 the program included information on major population centers in Georgia, Washington, Louisiana, New Jersey, Puerto Rico, Alaska, California, Kentucky. This includes specific Native American populations in Arizona, Alaskan Natives, and Hispanic populations in California. National Cancer Institute funds for the program are combined with funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) through the National Program of Cancer RegistriesCenters for Disease Control and Prevention, "National Program of Cancer Registries", retrieved 27JUL2012 and with funding from the involved states. NCI staff work with the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries (NAACCR) to guide all state registries to achieve data content and compatibility acceptable for pooling data and improving national estimates. The SEER team is developing computer applications to unify cancer registration systems and to analyze and disseminate population-based data. Use of surveillance data for research is being improved through Web-based access to the data and analytic tools, and linking with other national data sources. For example, a web-based tool for public health officials and policy makers, State Cancer Profiles,National Cancer Institute, "State Cancer Profiles", retrieved 27JUL2012 provides a user-friendly interface for finding cancer statistics for specific states and counties. Quality control has been an integral part of SEER since its inception.National Cancer Institute,"SEER Quality Improvement", retrieved 27JUL2012 Every year, studies are conducted in SEER areas to evaluate the quality and completeness of the data being reported.
