With a degree in psychiatric social work, a long career in the District of Columbia Probation Office, and head of his own correctional consulting business, Al Schuman saw as a natural next step.
"My daughter-in-law was considering becoming a CASA volunteer, so she started telling me about it, and I decided I should volunteer, too," said the McLean resident.
Did he ever. Al went through CASA training -- "pretty serious stuff" -- and served as a volunteer for nearly five years. He went on to help reorganize the Fairfax CASA office, join the Board of Directors, and become its president. "The more I got involved with CASA," Al said, "the more I felt that it's probably the most sophisticated volunteer program anywhere."
As a long-time basketball coach as well as a CASA volunteer, Al understands the
important role one adult can have in a child's life. "These cases can be life-and-death situations," he said. "You can be the one [adult in a kid's life] that makes a real difference. The difference between that kid making it and not making it."
Now Al is preparing to walk the 3K on Saturday, April 28, at Fairfax CASA's . He looks forward to talking up his favorite cause with other runners and walkers. Last year, he even recruited a new volunteer. "It's important to give back to the community," Al said. "The reward? You can't beat it."
There is still time to register for Saturday's Run for the Children 10K Race & 3K Run/Walk. Sign up today and join in the fun!

So, a couple of days ago, when NASA sent out a press release announcing "an astrobiology finding that will impact the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life", I went scrounging around for the embargoed details and managed to look everywhere except the one place that had the information. Having now seen what's actually being announced tomorrow, I have some good news and bad news.
Bad news first: Kottke's speculations are wrong, and this announcement has nothing to do with newly discovered life—or signs of life—on another planet.
The good news: What is being announced is still pretty interesting, if you're into astrobiology and weird life on Earth.
I'm going to go ahead and hold the embargo. I'll post something here about NASA's real news tomorrow afternoon. But I did want to clear up exaggerations that I helped spread the other day, and make sure you guys had a better picture of what was actually going on. Sometimes, I get overly excited and bite into bait I ought to leave alone. My apologies on that.
Also: Not everybody is holding the embargo. A simple Google search will turn up the news of tomorrow, today, if you want it. Frustrated by the concept of embargoes, in general? Join the club. I highly recommend the Embargo Watch blog for some in-depth discussions of what purpose embargoes serve, why journalists follow them, and how the system needs to change.

This article In Chemistry World from August 2008 confirms this is old news: http://www.rsc.org/chemistryworld/News/2008/August/15080802.asp
Unless there are truly new findings that haven't been picked up on by the non-scientific mainstream press.
zax says:
That has to be one of the coolest things I've ever seen, and adds to my joy at reading boingboing on a constant basis. For a writer to apologise for being overly excitable and biting at bait better left alone makes this place seem all the more human and brilliant. Thank you for helping to make this one of best places to hang out on the internet. Oh and I would say happily continue to bite at bait if when you are misled your apologies are as soulful and well written.

I can't see that they'll release info regarding Arsenic-Metabolizing Bacteria in an Extreme Environment; As they already posted that 3 years ago :

I was too much of a pessimist to really get that excited about the NASA announcement, but thanks for the links for Embargo Watch.

Maggie, there's nothing wrong with passionate excitement, bring it on. Apologising and clarifying after the event makes it all worth while (presuming what you are passionately excited about doesn't cause ppl harm).

W. James Au says:
It's really NASA's fault for wording the original press release the way they did, it inevitably caused geek propellers to spin at hypersonic speeds. If they wanted to keep things chill they should have been way more muted and said nothing about "the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life". Of course if they did that, no one would have given a shit about the press conference.

NASA is like the boy who cried wolf when it comes to announcements about alien life.
I guess this is a little bit better than their usual alternating announcements of "water on the moon!" and "no water on the moon!".

I'm holding out for the announcement with video footage that the space station has been taken over by that naked space vampire from LIFEFORCE.
Jesse M. says:
The finding may actually be more exciting than the dailymail article suggests…rather than just a new type of bacteria that survives in extreme conditions, this gizmodo article suggests its basic biochemistry is fundamentally different from all other types of life:
At their conference today, NASA scientist Felisa Wolfe Simon will announce that they have found a bacteria whose DNA is completely alien to what we know today. Instead of using phosphorus, the bacteria uses arsenic. All life on Earth is made of six components: carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and sulfur. Every being, from the smallest amoeba to the largest whale, share the same life stream. Our DNA blocks are all the same.
But not this one. This one is completely different. Discovered in the poisonous Mono Lake, California, this bacteria is made of arsenic, something that was thought to be completely impossible. While she and other scientists theorized that this could be possible, this is the first discovery.
Halloween Jack says:
Just because NASA hasn't found life on other planets doesn't mean that we haven't found you.

This is not so much surprised news .life exist another planet possible.

The Bills filled the last available spot on their practice squad today by signing offensive lineman Keith Williams.
The 6-foot-5, 330-pound Williams is no stranger to the Buffalo offense, having spent 13 weeks last season on the practice squad and the entire 2012 offseason with the team. Williams was among the final roster cuts at the end of the preseason.
Williams, a former sixth-round draft pick by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2011, played in all four preseason games for Buffalo this summer, mostly at right guard.
The Bills had an opening on the squad after promoting center David Snow to the 53-man roster late last week.

Pella — According to the Marion County Road Dept. Supervisor, Mike McMurray, the road dept. will be starting the trucks at 4 a.m. Wed. morning on the hard surface roads. The motor graders will be starting at 7am on the gravel roads. The heaviest snow is predicted between 1 a.m. and 11 a.m. Wednesday morning with potential wind speeds of 18 - 25 mph with gusts as high as 34 mph. Snowfall totals could be as much as 6 inches. Trucks and motor graders may work as late as 7pm Wednesday night depending on the circumstances this storm brings with it. With the warmer temperatures we have had in the last couple days gravel roads are expected to be soft and the going may be slow requiring extra time to get the roads clear. Also please give the truck drivers and motor grader operators as much room as possible especially at intersections where they will be backing up to clean the snow off. Visibility can be extremely limited due to windows and mirrors being froze over with ice and snow from plowing.
In an email from Jeff Anderson, Coordinator, Marion County Emergency Management Agency, he reported the following:
- A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for Marion County from 9 p.m. tonight through 12 noon tomorrow.
- 4-7" of snow predicted for Marion County and adjacent counties, with some locally higher amounts possible.
- N/NW winds after midnight tonight of 20-30 MPH/ gusts of 35 MPH.
- Heaviest snow expected between midnight tonight and 9 am tomorrow.
- The snow in the early part of the event will be a wet/heavy snow. As the atmospheric air dries later in the event, the snow will transition to a lighter/fluffier type.
- Impact on the roadways…early melting of the snow may contribute to the refreezing of that snowmelt on the roadways prior to the heavy snow beginning that would result in a layer of ice underneath the snow.
- Wind chills Wednesday night at/or below 0.
- Poor driving conditions are expected for the Wednesday morning commute.

By KEVIN HARRIS
• TIME: 8 p.m.
• PLACE: Dutch Reis Field.
• RECORDS: Charlestown 12-0, Gibson Southern 10-2.
• SERIES RECORD: First meeting.
• SERIES LAST 10 YEARS: First meeting.
• LAST MEETING: First meeting.
• KEY FACTS: The Pirates are 1-2 all-time in regional games. Their lone regional championship happened in 1989, when they shut out Greensburg in a Class 3A regional, 37-0. Charlestown has lost in its last two regional appearances. The Pirates suffered a 24-0 setback to Evansville Memorial in a 3A regional in 1993, and then in 1996, they fell to Heritage Hills in a 3A regional, 62-14. … Charlestown quarterback Aaron Daniel ranks second in the state in rushing touchdowns (30), sixth in passing touchdowns (33), 15th in rushing yards (1,585) and 26th in passing yards (1,853). Pirate senior running back Seth McCutchen is 16th in Indiana in rushing touchdowns (20) and 26th in rushing yards (1,407). Also, Charlestown junior Jake Harper ranks 12th in the state in solo tackles (93), while teammate Matt Myers is 16th with 88 solo tackles. … The Titans won their final two sectional games in overtime by a combined nine points. They defeated Vincennes Lincoln in the semifinal (37-31) and Evansville Memorial in the championship (27-24).
• MATCHUP TO WATCH: Gibson Southern quarterback Jordan Scheller vs. Charlestown's defense — Scheller, a senior, ranks ninth in the state in passing yards with 2,357. He put up some huge numbers in the Titans' first two sectional games. Scheller threw for 338 yards in Gibson Southern's first-round win over Mt. Vernon (Posey) and 352 yards in the Titans' semifinal win over Vincennes Lincoln. But the Pirates have been phenomenal on defense all year. They have the third-best scoring defense in the state, allowing 6.6 points per game. Charlestown's pass rush must put a lot of pressure on Scheller if the Pirates intend to reach the semi-state next Friday.
• NOTE: Winner will face either Greensburg or third-ranked Indianapolis Chatard in the Class 3A semi-state next Friday.

125th Anniversary Memory Book
Inspired by Nature: The San Diego Natural History Museum After 125 Years
Building for the 21st Century
Related Biographies
Charles "Harbie" Harbison
These are some memories and favorite stories about the Museum from visitors to this website.
My exposure to the Natural History Museum, began in 1976 when I began a research project into the life of my grandfather, William Sherman Wright. Mr Wright was, according to my research, one of the first curator's of entomology for the society. William and his family came to the San Diego area in 1898. His father Henry Quackenbush Wright came to San Diego first in 1878. William's brothers, Edward and Ralph both came to San Diego in about 1890. I have written a story of my grandfather's life, and have sent it to the Library, and to Mr. David Falkner of the Entomology Department. I would be interested in communicating with any and all interested readers about my Grandfather, and his history with the society.
James H. Wright
Of the many memories I have in working for and with the San Diego Natural History Museum during the past 50 plus years, none comes more vividly to me than those priceless early days that began when a friend asked if I would like to attend a natural history class at the museum. Little did I realize at the time that the decision to join this class would set the course of my future.
Dick Schwenkmeyer
My first contact with the Natural History Museum was soon after I arrived in San Diego in 1946 when Dallas' uncle Joe Sefton showed me some of the special volumes in his natural history library and told me about voyages on the Orca, the museum research vessel that operated before WWII.
Mary Clark
One of my life's great privileges was growing up in 50s San Diego, the Granddaughter of Grace and Laurence Klauber. I saw them every week throughout my childhood, frequently as their Saturday "charge." For me, the most fortunate weekends included Sunday time too. "Poppa" was either in his basement laboratory or his bedroom office, preparing a speech or new herpetological paper.
Upon reflection, I think Gramma viewed this time with me as an opportunity for outings in her beloved Balboa Park, close to their Bankers Hill home. By age 3 or 4, I was allowed to select the destination to follow the train and merry-go-round rides. The options Gramma presented to me were visiting the Zoo or the Natural History Museum. Predictable my choice was to go see "... the quiet animals," as opposed to the noisier ones across the street. Where is the stuffed elk now and the skeletal dinosaur relief against the wall that made such a permanent visual impact on me? Each visit today whether for a meeting or exhibit viewing recalls that joy of being allowed to choose how to invest my time.

Learn all about the classification system in disability swimming
Classification is the grouping of athletes in swimming to ensure that there is a fair playing field. There are two types of classification: physical (S1-S10) and disability specific (S11-S14).
Co-ordinated by British Swimming, this system is for swimmers with a physical impairment and assesses a swimmer's functional mobility by IPC Swimming trained classifiers.
The process involves a physical test, technical test and observation in competition. This type of classification also enables the identification of stroke exceptions applicable to an individual swimmer.
A minimum of two classifiers form a classification team consisting of a medical classifier, a doctor or physiotherapist, and a technical classifier (a swimming coach).
In the first instance swimmers will need to obtain a British Swimming classification and then as they progress along the elite pathway may be put forward for an international classification.
- Click here to download the Physical Classification Application Form
- Click here to download the Physical Classification Application Form in a LARGER FONT
- Click here to download Classification Eligibility Guidelines for Disability Swimming (S1-S14)
- Click here to read both British Swimming and International Disability Swimmer Classification Statuses
For further information on any of these processes or systems please contact the Classification Coordinator on 0161 244 5332 or click here to send an email.
This system is co-ordinated by the relevant Disability Sports Organisations and allows swimmers of a similar and specific disability to compete against one another.
There are individual classification systems for visually impaired and intellectually impaired swimmers. For further information on any of these please follow the links below.
- Visually Impaired British Blind Sports www.britishblindsport.org.uk
- Hearing Impaired British Deaf Swimming www.ukdeafsport.org.uk
- Learning Disability UK Sports Association for People with a Learning Disability www.uksportassociation.org.uk
- Intellectual Disability Mencap www.mencap.org.uk
There are two types of classifiers needed. These are a medical and a technical classifiers, which make up a classifying panel. A medical classifier will either be a doctor or physiotherapist, and a technical classifier will be a Level 2/3 UKCC swimming coach.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
This semester, Wichita State University is one of 28 schools across the nation providing free access to an electronic textbook to a limited number of its students.
As participants in the Educause and Internet2 eText pilot, nearly 800 students in 16 different courses taught by eight faculty members will receive a free electronic copy of their textbook for the semester.
This round of the pilot is limited to McGraw-Hill texts delivered via the Courseload web-based ereader. Courseload allows students not only to highlight text and annotate the eText, but also allows faculty and students to share notes and highlights with one another, paving the way for a more social engagement with the etext.
At the end of the fall semester, the students and faculty participants' use and experiences will be evaluated and shared, not only with the WSU community, but also nationally and globally via a report from Educause and Internet2. The report will be distributed sometime in early 2013.
WSU's participation in the eText pilot is co-sponsored by the Office of the Provost and Office of the Chief Information Officer.
For more information about the nationwide pilot, go to http://www.internet2.edu/netplus/etext/index.html

Presented by Samantha Endlich
February may be best known as the month when Cupid takes center stage and early March for when the lion comes roaring in, but this time of year is also ideal for getting your tax documentation in order. Following a few simple tips now can ensure that you don't miss out on valuable deductions and tax credits because you can't locate required documentation later.
The key to getting organized is ensuring that you have all of the documentation you need when it's time to file. This will ease the process for you or for your tax preparer.
Here are a few of the most common forms that should have arrived in your mailbox by early March:
Form W-2: reporting wages, salary, tips, commissions, and other compensation
Forms 1099-DIV and 1099-INT Tax: reporting dividends and interest
Forms for reporting other income, including:
Form 1099-R: reporting distributions from annuities, profit-sharing plans, retirement plans, IRAs, and pensions
Form 1099-SS: reporting social security income
Schedule K-1: reporting income from partnerships, estates, or trusts
Form 1098: reporting mortgage interest paid
Form 1098-E and 1098-T: reporting student loan interest and qualified higher education expenses paid
If you haven't received a form that you had expected, contact your employer, the payor, or the institution responsible for the reporting. You may be able to obtain the information from other sources, including through an online customer account. Be proactive and check on missing documents as soon as possible, as you don't want to be scrambling for paperwork when the filing deadline looms.
Deductions and Credits
In addition to compiling the standard tax filing documentation, many taxpayers need to organize receipts or material that demonstrates their eligibility to qualify for deductions and credits. Use the following tips to smooth the process:
Organize throughout the year.
Buy an expandable binder and organize it according to common tax categories (e.g., wages, interest and dividends, other income). Make a general deductions folder to file receipts for expenses that may become tax deductions (e.g., property taxes) and a miscellaneous folder for items you're not sure about.
Put the expandable binder in an easy-to-reach spot so that you can literally walk by and drop paperwork in as it arrives or as you come across it. Even if you ultimately don't use these documents or receipts, you'll have them at your fingertips when the time to decide comes. Remember: It's easier to toss than it is to hunt around for a missing receipt.
Put together a checklist.
If you are working with a tax advisor, he or she will likely provide a checklist to help you get organized. Use this list, or make your own. Include items that you have addressed in previous years or add new items. The list will become a handy resource to review annually when it's time to gather what you need.
It's early enough to start fresh for this year. A new organizational system and a proactive approach to finding and filing documentation shouldn't take long. You'll still have time to taste February's still-delicious leftoverc hocolate, as March comes roaring in.

---- — CHEERS to the Beekmantown Central School Athletic Department for the steps it took to ensure that a female student could play football for the school. Desire Sydnor played football at Beekmantown for six years, having just finished her senior year on varsity. Legally, it would have been difficult to deny her the chance, but, let's face it, school officials, coaches and teammates could have made it a rough sports career. Instead, they did what they could to help make Sydnor's years in uniform safe and successful. She participated in 125 varsity football practices — never missing one — and varsity coach Jamie Lozier credits her conditioning and their efforts, such as careful pairings during drills, with the fact that she made it through without serious injury. The school made sure she had a separate place to change for games and practices. And while Sydnor was not used in every game, she actually played more than 12 other players and was considered by the Athletic Department to be a "great team player." Lozier told her a number of times that she wasn't a girl during football; she was a player. "She earned every bit of playing time with her dedication and hard work," Lozier said. "She also earned the respect of her coaches and teammates via her constant hard work and great attitude. She never complained and was a great role model for our team. .. In my opinion, she was one of the toughest players on our team. Day in and day out, she took our physical practices with a smile. She is fine young lady with football in her heart. She has earned my respect. And respect lasts forever." The Press-Republican salutes Desire Sydnor for her grit, dedication and determination. We think that she and Beekmantown have been a winning combination.
CHEERS to Plattsburgh Elks Lodge 621 for some pretty distinguished service to one-time service members in our area who have landed in local nursing homes. Taking seriously the Elks' motto, "So long as there are veterans, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks will never forget them," Lodge 621 recently dispatched teams of two to three Elks to eight local nursing homes to visit with 70 veterans and present them with a gift of a 2013 calendar, as well as providing a chicken-and-biscuits luncheon for more than 40 veterans and their families that same day. The lodge also has a moving Veterans Memorial Plaza, funded and built entirely by lodge members, which the public is invited to view anytime. The lodge gives new and emphatic meaning to the term "service club."
— If you have a Cheers and Jeers suggestion that you want the Editorial Board to consider, email it to Editor Lois Clermont at email@example.com.

About 800 people filled Congregation B'nai Jehoshua Beth Elohim for Monday night's North Shore Jewish Community Candidate forum. Candidates from six house races discussed their values and qualifications during brief, informal introductions. Highlights from the forum are listed below.
IL House 16th District
- Lou Lang (D) - "Not enough of us understand what's happening in Springfield," Lang, the race incumbent, said. "Our lives are dictated more by Springfield than Washington."
Lang also said Illinois has made more jobs in recent years than any of the surrounding states.
"While Illinois has problems, it is doing better," he added.
- Vincent Romano (R) - Absent
IL House 17th District
- Laura Fine (D) - "If you don't give up and you keep trying, your community and your political community won't let you fail," Fine said.
She also talked about the challenges she has faced over time that now motivate her, including the time her husband lost an arm in a car accident. Her husband was in attendance, in the front row.
- Kyle Frank (R) - "Every person in the state owes $31,500," Frank said. "To say this is a great state is disingenuous."
Frank also said he has not received donations from outside, partisan organizations.
IL House 18th District
- Robyn Gabel (D) - The incumbent discussed her accomplishments in office, such as extending health care coverage to all Illinois children, sponsoring and passing a bill that helps chronically ill students finish school and supporting programs that assist business growth.
- Eric Lieberman (R) - "We're buried by a lack of truth," Lieberman said, explaining the role Jewish values had in inspiring him to seek office and improve political transparency.
"I don't buy into the whole party thing," he said. "We have an opportunity to face the challenge of working together."
IL House 57th District
- Elaine Nekritz (D) - "I don't want to look people in the eye and tell them we can't keep promises," Nekritz said. "But we simply can't afford it."
She also mentioned her role on the House Pension Reform Committee and her budgetary proposals designed to cut more than a billion dollars.
"We're very close to a solution," she said.
- Jonathan Greenberg (R) - "If you believe breaking is possible, believe fixing is possible," Greenberg said, quoting a Jewish proverb.
The challenger from Northbrook also listed the state's financial troubles as a motivation for his campaign, including net job losses in the state, median incomes in decline and foreclosures rising.
IL House 58th District
- Scott Drury (D) - "I want to usher in a new era of government," Drury said, based on "credibility and responsibility."
"[Illinois] can do better, we have to work together," he added, promising to reach across the aisle, if elected.
Drury also promised to fight state funds reaching companies that do business with nations hostile to Israel.
- Mark Shaw (R) - "It's rewarding to help everyday people with their everyday problems," Shaw said.
He also talked about a recent endorsement from the Daily Herald
IL House 59th District
- Carol Sente (D) - The incumbent recalled the death of her sister as motivation for public service. She also mentioned some accomplishments in office, including her role in passing state budgets that saved the state billions.
She also discussed her support of a ban on assault weapons and said she would fight to stop state funding towards companies that do business with Iran.
- Sidney Mathias (R) - The former state rep from the 53rd district, Mathias talked about his father's role in teaching community service values.
He also mentioned an endorsement from the Daily Herald.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Rex end skid with 10-inning victory over Springfield
The six-game losing streak for the Terre Haute Rex is over.
But not without difficulty.
The Rex defeated the Springfield Sliders 11-7 in 10 innings in a Prospect League game on Sunday. The Rex (21-22) rallied for the victory, tying the game in the ninth and using a four-run 10th to put the struggling Sliders (6-34) away for good.
Terre Haute had itself allowed Springfield back in the contest with a seven-run seventh inning after the Rex had a comfortable 6-0 lead. Five of the runs the Rex conceded in the seventh were unearned as a two-out error by Tyler Wampler kept the inning alive.
Terre Haute picked itself up off the mat in the ninth. Atlee Schwab led off with a single, was sacrificed to second and scored on a Cody Gardner single to left to tie the game at 7.
A two-out rally proved decisive in the 10th. After Evan Heptig drew a walk he scored on a Kalik May double to make it 8-7. Schwab singled in May, Kyle Kempf tripled in Schwab, and Kempf scored on a Gardner single.
Gardner had three RBI and was 3-for-4. Schwab and Andrew Cope each drove in two runs. May, Cope, Kempf, Izaak Silva and Nate Arnold all had doubles to go along with Kempf's triple.
The game was delayed 48 minutes due to rain and then for a further 25 minutes as the Rex protested field conditions.
Terre Haute is eight games out of a Prospect League West Division playoff spot with 17 games to play in the regular season.
Terre Haute will have a four-day layoff for the Prospect League All-Star break. The All-Star Game will be played at Butler on Wednesday. The Rex resume play Friday as they host Danville.

Corporate finance studies the financial decisions made within firms. These decisions are for the most part common to firms of any size. They involve identifying projects that the firm should invest, raising financing for these projects, and deciding how much of the firm earnings should be returned to its owners. Pursuing a career in this area requires strong skills in corporate finance and accounting, as well as very good communication skills.
Students specialized in this area can pursue the following career paths:

NCEAS Project 12097
Evaluating the role of current semantic web technologies for improving discovery, accessibility and interoperability of ecological and environmental data
- David A. Vieglais
|Further Information
|Sabbatical Fellow
|6th August 2007—5th August 2008
|Participant List
The Semantic Web offers the potential for previously unrealized level of data integration for scientists working on complex, interrelated data sets such as are commonly found in biodiversity and ecological studies. The primary goal of this internship is to evaluate the practicality of using semantic web software tools to augment existing metadata catalog applications such as Metacat, and data access environments such as EarthGrid (formerly the EcoGrid of the SEEK project) being used by ecologists and environmental scientists. The practicality of providing a desktop or workgroup level semantic web node for indexing and sharing of researcher data using standard protocols such as SPARQL, the Open Archives protocol for metadata harvesting, and LSIDs (Life Sciences Identifiers) will also be examined.

Generosity of people needs appreciation
10:24am Thursday 8th March 2012 in Letters
As a trustee of Wharfedale Special Medical Equipment Fund, I would like to express my appreciation for your article in the issue of March 1 which recorded the presentation of a scanner to the radiology unit at Otley Hospital in memory of the late Dr Waters.
I would like to make one thing clear and thank Wharfedale and District. Thanks to them, over the years the fund has been able to donate well over double the figure of £200,000 mentioned in your article. From the initial purchase of a radio lesion generator in 1980 to the present bone scanner acquisition, the public has shown unfailing generosity by making donations, contributing to public house piles of pennies, running innumerable miles, organising dances and whist drives, and in many other ways showing how much they appreciate their local hospital. It would be wrong to allow the extent of that generosity to remain unrecorded.

There are a number of reasons why patients enroll in clinical trials and clinical research studies related to hereditary cancer.
By participating in clinical trials, participants help advance what is known about medical interventions and cancer risks.
About the Study
Veliparib is a medication classified as a "PARP inhibitor". PARP inhibitors are being studied to treat cancers in those who carry genetic risk due to either BRCA1 or BRCA2. These medicines are designed to address the biology of tumors arising due to mutations in either gene, and represent a new type of tailored therapy. This study is examining veliparib in combination with different type of chemotherapy compared to chemotherapy alone.
For more information about these trials, please visit clinicaltrials.gov or call Robin Holmes, RN at the University of Pennsylvania at 215-615-0360.
About the Study
The research laboratory at the Abramson Cancer Center is studying genetic sources of cancer risk, and currently has one of the largest collections of families with known or suspected risk in the world. Research participants receive a numerical identification number that protects their privacy. Collaborating centers do not have access to personal identifiers such as names and dates of birth since only numerical identifiers are shared. Specific research projects are listed below:
MAGIC (Modifiers of Cancer Risk in BRCA1/2 Mutation Carriers)
This study is evaluating other factors that may influence cancer risk in women with BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations. These factors may include exposure, lifestyle, and the influence of modifier genes. A modifier gene would be a gene other than BRCA1 or BRCA2 that may impact cancer risk in mutation carriers.
CIMBA (The Consortium of Investigators of Modifiers of BRCA1/2)
CIMBA is an international group of investigators representing 28 countries focused on studying many issues related to inherited BRCA1 and BRCA2 risk. One main area is the identification of modifier genes. That is, genes other than BRCA1 and BRCA2 that may impact cancer risk in mutation carriers.
Participation in these studies generally includes providing questionnaire information and a small blood sample. We are in touch with participants on an approximately annual basis to update your information as a participant in this study. If the research laboratory learned any information by studying your sample that could affect your health, or the health of your family members, you would be notified. There are no costs associated with participation, and all arrangements can be made over the telephone and through the mail. Travel to the University of Pennsylvania is not necessary for participation.
For more information any of the above genetic studies or for study related questions, call Jill Stopfer, MS at 215-349-8143 or Jacquelyn Powers, MS at 215-349-8141.
About the Study
The purpose of this study is to find and characterize genes that may be linked to cancer that runs in families who have tested negative for detectable BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations.
Participation in this study includes signed informed consent facilitated by a member of the research team, providing questionnaire information and a small blood sample. Our process regarding the possible disclosure of research results will be carefully discussed with each individual prior to enrollment. There are no costs associated with participation, and all arrangements can be made over the telephone and through the mail. Travel to the University of Pennsylvania is not necessary for participation.
For more information about this study or study related questions, call Jill Stopfer, MS at 215-349-8141 or Jacquelyn Powers, MS at 215-349-8141.
Reimbursement for travel expenses and small gift for daughters provided at each study visit.
About the Study
The purpose of the Legacy Girls Study is to explore how genes and early childhood environment may play a role in developing breast cancer later in life. This study will enroll 900 girls aged 6 to 13 at five sites in North America. The Philadelphia site, including the University of Pennsylvania, Fox Chase Cancer Center and CHOP, will enroll 150 girls. Half the girls will be from families with a history of breast cancer. We will collect survey data, blood and urine samples and measures of growth over a four year period to study growth and genetic, lifestyle and environmental factors.
The study is no longer enrolling new participants. For more information about this study, please contact Colleen Burke Sands, MPH, 215-662-2747; firstname.lastname@example.com.
About the Study
Investigators at the University of Pennsylvania are leading an international collaborative effort studying the effects of risk reducing surgery such as removal of the ovaries and prophylactic mastectomy for women who carry genetic risk due to BRCA1 and BRCA2. In addition, the group is studying the impact of hormone replacement therapy in women who undergo early menopause due to surgical removal of the ovaries. Specific aims currently include an examination of the effects of hormone replacement therapy for women who undergo early menopause due to surgical removal of the ovaries. The group is also studying how the timing of surgery with respect to age and reproductive history may ultimately affect cancer risks.
For more information any of the above genetic studies or for study related questions, call Jill Stopfer, MS at 215-349-8143 or Jacquelyn Powers, MS at 215-349-8141.
About the Study
This study consists of online surveys which will measure the quality of life of women who have already undergone a risk-reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.
The purpose of the study is to measure the prevalence of symptoms in areas such as depression, cognition, calcium intake, sleep quality, and sexual function. The entire study takes place online, so English speaking participants outside of the US with computer and internet access may participate.
For more information about this study, call Laura DiGiovanni at (215) 662-2770 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
High-risk Group:
Control Group:
About the Study
This study consists of 4 in-person visits spread across 2 years, as well as an online surveys. The study will measure the quality of life of women before and after risk-reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. The study includes in-person visits during traditional business hours at our clinic in Philadelphia, so participants must be located within driving distance in order to participate. The study cannot reimburse for travel expenses, though the study will pay for parking at in-person measurement visits.
For more information about this study, call Laura DiGiovanni at (215) 662-2770 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
About the Study
Prostate cancer is a serious health issue affecting a significant portion of the U.S. population. We know that men with BRCA mutations who develop prostate cancer tend to develop these cancers at earlier than average ages, and may develop more aggressive forms of disease. Investigators at the University of Pennsylvania are trying to determine the best way to screen men who have inherited prostate cancer risk due to BRCA1 or BRCA2. Men between the ages of 40-69 in families with a known BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation are invited to join. The study offers free annual PSA screening starting at age 40 and free clinical genetic testing for men who haven't yet been tested for the known familial BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation. The incidence of raised PSA, abnormal biopsy and prostate cancer diagnoses will be measured.
For more information about this study: For study related questions, call Jacquelyn Powers, MS at 215-349-8141 or email email@example.com.
About the Study
The goal of this repository of specimens and data is to identify blood biomarkers associated with the early development of cancer or cancer recurrence. Investigators hope that this will lead to the creation of new screening tests in individuals at high risk for breast and ovarian cancer. Participation in this study involves an annual blood draw throughout a patient's lifetime. If you are already being seen at the Rena Rowan Breast Center, this appointment can be scheduled at the same time as your annual check-up.
For more information about this study, call Chan Voong at firstname.lastname@example.com subject line: "Biobank"
About the Study
This study is in collaboration with the fertility specialists at Penn and aims to examine ways to test ovarian reserve, that is, the number and quality of eggs in one's ovaries. Information gained from this study may eventually help women with increased risk for cancer make decisions about when and how to start families. Furthermore, this study evaluates how knowledge of a BRCA mutation may impact a woman's decisions about parenthood.
For more information about this study: For study related questions, call Maureen Prewitt, RN at 215-615-4889 or email firstname.lastname@example.com OR email Lauren Johnson, MD at firstname.lastname@example.com.
About the Study
The Basser Research Center for BRCA and fertility specialists at the University of Pennsylvania are recruiting participants for a study to better understand fertility and reproduction in women with a BRCA mutation. The goal is to help women with increased risk of cancer make decisions about when to start their families.
The study has two parts:
You can participate in this study by accessing the survey here.
For more information about this study: Contact a study coordinator 215-614-1414 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
About the Study
This research will evaluate the use of telephone as an alternative to a return clinic visit to communicate genetic test results to patients. Individuals who agree to participate will be asked to provide data about their thoughts, perceptions, experiences and behaviors regarding the method by which their results are shared with them.
For more information about this study: For study related questions, please call Dominique Fetzer, BA, 215 662 2753
About the Study
The SOFT Study is a research study to learn what 11-19 year old girls know about breast cancer risk. The study involves two online or telephone surveys, 12 months apart, for mothers and their daughters. We will survey girls with a family history of breast cancer as well as girls from average risk families. We will also interview a subset of mothers with a BRCA mutation to learn about mother to daughter communications of genetic test results.
For more information about this study, please contact Kelsey Karpink, 215-349-5424; email@example.com.

Love how I don't have to deal with any cables anymore when I use these headphones to workout. But I do need to place a clip in my hair to make sure they don't fall off my head when I bend down to pick up something. The sound is incredible. I also love how my iPod can be anywhere in the room and the headphones still work, I don't have to carry my nano with me at all times.
