Targeted therapy was a big buzzword at the June 2004 meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO). In this program, one of the oncologists in attendance at ASCO, Dr. Nam Dang of the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, explains what the buzz is about when it comes to treatments for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. He discusses the advantages of new therapies, how combinations of chemo and radioactive substances work, and the developing protocols for future NHL treatment.
This program was supported through an unrestricted educational grant from Ligand Pharmaceuticals.
Rick Turner:
Welcome to the Lymphoma Education Network, I'm your host, Rick Turner.
Each June, thousands of researchers gather at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, or ASCO, the world's leading professional organization representing physicians who treat people with cancer. At the meeting, cancer specialists discuss the latest developments in treatment and research. Today, you'll hear news from ASCO about emerging therapies for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, NHL, as well as updates and important information about clinical trials.
Joining us to discuss the latest developments in therapies for NHL is Dr. Nam Dang, assistant internist and assistant professor in the department of lymphoma and myeloma and in the department of molecular therapeutics at the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Dr. Dang also serves as associate director of the Medical Oncology Fellowship and Educational program at M. D. Anderson. Welcome to our program, Dr. Dang.
Dr. Nam Dang:
Thank you, Rick. It's my pleasure to be with you to discuss some of the latest findings presented at this past ASCO, and also some of the new research in regard to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Let's start with a quick context for understanding these newer therapeutic approaches we're about to discuss. Can you review for us the current methods for treating NHL?
Dr. Dang:
It's actually a complicated topic in the sense in that NHL is really a catch-all term for a number of lymphomas. But the general idea is that in the past, chemotherapy has been the mainstay and continues to be the mainstay for the treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. When we oncologists who treat this disease think of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, we break them down into different sub types. We know that chemotherapy is the mainstay, but over the past five years, there's a trend toward developing new drugs that are not necessarily chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is basically poison, and we want to develop what we call targeted therapies that specifically target the tumor cells, to complement chemotherapy. That's what our discussion will be on, the new developments of these targeted therapies.
Chemotherapy has been the standard for how long?
Dr. Dang:
Chemotherapy has been the standard for cancer treatments since the '60s, '70s. As different chemotherapeutic agents come along, what happens is that people find that if you treat the cancers, in this case, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, with one type of chemotherapy, the tumor cells may die initially, the disease may respond initially. But over time, cancers are smart. They figure out a way to defeat what we're trying to do and they come back. So over time, we started to add on more chemotherapy. A patient may get, at any moment in time, three or four drugs combined together. For example, the classic treatment [for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma] is called CHOP, C-H-O-P, which consists of four different drugs [cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan), doxorubicin (Adriamycin; Doxil), vincristine (Oncovin; Vincasar), and prednisone (Delatsone)]. The idea of adding all these drugs together is to kill as many tumor cells as possible without giving them a chance to figure out what each drug is doing. They are hitting them [the cancer cells] really hard [with] a whole bunch of different drugs at once.
Let's talk about what's happening now. Discuss first the range of emerging therapies and the types of therapies resulting from this latest generation of research.
Dr. Dang:
The latest generation of research is trying to do targeted therapy. Chemotherapy is really just general poisons, meaning they will kill the cancer cells, [but] unfortunately they also affect the normal cells. That's why when people get chemotherapy, they get low blood counts, they lose their hair, they sometimes have nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. All of these side effects of chemotherapy are a function of the fact that the chemotherapy [drugs] are general poisons.
The research in the laboratories has been going on for maybe 10, 15 years or even more sometimes. But translating knowledge from the lab to the clinic takes time, and it's just over the past five years or less that we're starting to get the fruits of our basic research effort. It takes that long to develop new drugs. The new drugs target the cancer cells specifically [and], theoretically, avoid the normal cells, so, in theory, the patient should not have [many] side effects, [and] only the cancer cells get killed. The idea is to add these targeted therapies with the standard chemotherapies to provide a super punch to the cancer cells.
You were recently at the ASCO conference. What highlights came out of that meeting?
Dr. Dang:
Monoclonal antibody therapy. There's a drug called Rituxan, or rituximab, and it's an antibody, which means that it's a non-chemotherapy drug. It targets cancer cells that express a protein on the cancer cell surface. Rituxan has been approved [by the FDA], for a kind of lymphoma called low-grade lymphoma. Lately, people ask the question:, What if you add Rituxan, this targeted therapy, to the standard chemotherapy? Do you get better data? Do you get better survival? Do you get better response? We, as investigators in the field, have been doing this for a while, but what happened at ASCO is that investigators showed the latest results of the addition of Rituxan to chemotherapy for different subsets of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
In general, the data were not surprising. The data strengthened our feelings [about] the addition of targeted therapy, such as Rituxan to standard chemotherapy for different subsets of lymphoma. At ASCO, for example, it was shown that Rituxan added to CHOP for diffuse large cell lymphoma, which is one subset, or Rituxan added to another chemo agent called CVP [cyclophosphamide, vincristine and prednisone] for low-grade lymphoma, or Rituxan added to chemotherapy, CHOP for metastatic lymphoma. Basically, when you add Rituxan to chemotherapy for different sorts of lymphomas, the conclusion is pretty much yes, it helps. So now Rituxan is becoming the standard in terms of being added to chemotherapy.
What does this mean for patients, Dr. Dang?
Dr. Dang:
What it means for patients [is] that, number one, there [is] more and more research going on and there's hope on the horizon. When we treat patients with chemotherapy we get a certain response rate, [a] certain survival length. The addition of targeted therapies, such as Rituxan, will lengthen the time of response for the patient and also increase the percentage of patients for whom the treatment works. It really means good news, that with the new treatment options we have now, the percentage of patients this combination should help goes up, and in those patients the duration that the treatment works should also increase.
What news would you have to share with us about the role of radioimmunotherapy and other potential and promising new agents?
Dr. Dang:
As I mentioned, among the very first class of targeted therapy is this drug called Rituxan. The next step, let's take a drug like Rituxan and make it a super drug. What if we modify it in such a way that it packs even a better punch? Several companies have developed drugs that are called radioimmunotherapy, meaning a drug that targets the same molecule as Rituxan targets, on the tumor surface, but, in addition, they make the drug more powerful by putting in a radioisotope. When the drug gets to the tumor cells it kills the tumor cells, but also the radioisotope on this drug will kill other tumor cells in the neighboring area.
That's what makes it a super drug, as you describe?
Dr. Dang:
Exactly right. People asked the question, if you treat patients [with] chemotherapy and you get a response, what if you add the super drugs in shortly after the chemotherapy is done? In the old days, when we treat patients with chemotherapy, many patients respond, but then sometimes the disease comes back over time, maybe two, three, four, years later, or, the response may happen but they don't get a complete response, meaning after chemo you get absolutely no signs of disease left.
So what if we add these radioimmunotherapy drugs to the chemotherapy so that for the patient who has complete response, we make the response last longer? Or [for] the patient who has partial response, what if the addition of this radioimmunotherapy allows the disease to go from partial response to complete response, basically wipe out whatever's remaining?
At ASCO, there were more data to show that, yes, this idea may have merit, that when you add in the radioimmunotherapy, you get responses that last longer and you get patients who may not have had a complete response with chemo get a complete response. Now, the one caveat is the data is still early. With clinical trials, many times, it takes years before you really know whether it helps patients survive longer. It takes time for those data to come out. Even though it's still early, the early hints are suggesting to us that maybe there is a benefit in terms of overall survival.
Now, I know that you have been involved in an ongoing, ONTAK trial, looking at previously treated patients with B-cell NHL. Why don't you tell us specifically about that trial and also some of the other exciting trials going on in the field?
Dr. Dang:
In my department, I have been serving as the main investigator for this new drug called Ontak or denileukin diftitox. This drug is the same idea, which is targeted therapy. In this case, it is not an antibody, but it targets a certain structure on the tumor cells so that all the normal cells are spared and all the cancer cells are killed. Again, this is a super drug in the sense that it picks out only tumor cells and carries a toxin. After the drug recognizes the tumor cells, the toxin is delivered specifically to kill the cancer cells, sparing the rest. What our data have found is that this drug has activity in patients with B-cell lymphomas.
Importantly, many patients who come in to see us have had chemotherapy, so their blood counts are low. As you may know, when a patient has chemotherapy it affects the bone marrow, so after so many chemotherapy treatments the patients blood counts are low. We want a drug that hopefully will work but will spare the bone marrow, and this drug looks like it fits the bill. With our data, we have found that in patients with relapsed B-cell lymphoma who have low [blood] counts, who may not qualify for additional chemotherapy or other drugs because their counts are low, when we treat them with Ontak, it allows the tumors to shrink and potentially increase survival. The ones who respond potentially live longer than the ones who wouldn't respond, and [we] spare the bone marrow. It's another drug in our armamentarium.
The other thing I want to mention, we're discussing B-cell lymphoma. Each year, we have [a total of] 60,000 new cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. There's another set of disease called T-cell lymphomas. They represent 10 percent of all non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, B cell represents 90 percent. T cell is a minority of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, but 10 percent is still quite a number of patients
In T-cell lymphoma, we don't have a lot of good drugs out there. It's considered generally more aggressive and the treatment is, for the most part, not very satisfactory. What we're finding with our drug, Ontak, is that just like in B-cell lymphoma, the drug appears to help shrink the disease in T cells. So, again, it may in the future allow us to use this drug as a main component for T-cell lymphoma.
Once we find that this drug works in B-cell lymphoma, the general trend for Ontak, and this goes for other drugs, is to add it to Rituxan. Rituxan has been tried and proved to work in B-cell lymphoma, so once you have another drug that may work - Ontak or any other drug that is under development - if you add the two together, perhaps you get even a bigger bang for the buck. That's what we're doing now is to add these two drugs together, and preliminarily, we've seen some exciting results.
What stage of the trial process is Ontak [in] right now?
Dr. Dang:
Ontak has been approved [by the FDA] for a kind of lymphoma called cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. The question we're asking now is does Ontak work for other non-Hodgkin's lymphoma including B-cell lymphoma, other kinds of T-cell lymphomas. At this point, most of the studies of Ontak [are in] Phase II. What we're looking for is additional efficacy. [Medical editor's note: Ontak was granted accelerated approval by the FDA in February 1999 for sale in the United States for the treatment of patients with persistent or recurrent cutaneous T-cell lymphoma whose malignant cells express the CD25 component of the Interleukin-2 receptor. Other uses of Ontak discussed in this program are investigational (in clinical trials) and not yet approved by the FDA.]
What is the general profile of patients participating in the Ontak trials?
Dr. Dang:
Most are patients who have failed other treatments, they have relapsed disease. As we discussed earlier, when they get treatment, most of the time the disease will shrink and respond, but over time, the disease, unfortunately, comes back. That's why we started asking, what about other treatment options.
The typical Ontak patient failed other treatment, [and] very importantly, many of them had multiple chemotherapy [treatments]. They did not want any more chemotherapy because of toxic side effects, or they didn't have the blood counts that allowed them to get other chemotherapy. That's where Ontak comes in, and that's where we're seeing responses, in these patients for whom there's not a lot of drugs out there. That's what's exciting about our data is that potentially we have a drug that fits patients who don't have other options.
From what you've seen so far, from the data in the trials, what are some of the benefits and the potential drawbacks of this type of treatment approach?
Dr. Dang:
The benefit for this drug, again, a targeted therapy, is that it spares the normal cells. The benefits are for patients who have failed other treatment options whose blood counts are generally low. We would like to consider patients who were not so previously heavily treated. The way the trial was done, it allowed patients who had previous treatments to enroll. But now that we find that it's working, we actually want to move it more up front, to offer it to patients who have not had such heavy chemotherapy, potentially to get the benefits of the drug rather than wait till the last moment. What we are finding in our trials is that the patient for whom the drug works actually appears to live longer. The drug may potentially, and I accent the "may" because it's only preliminary, lengthen survival of the patients.
In terms of the side effects or drawbacks, this drug is not what we call myelo-suppressive, so it does not lower the blood counts. It doesn't cause you to lose hair. The main thing with this drug is the side effect that people will sometimes have fluid retention in the legs, or edema. This is manageable and controllable and treatable. Patients have to stay in close touch with their doctors and nurses to let them know if they have swelling in the legs or ankles, [or unusual weight gain] and then they can get appropriate treatment.
Now, let's turn to some of the other clinical trials reported on at ASCO. Which ones do you think people should know about to understand what's coming up, the emerging therapies for NHL?
Dr. Dang:
Potentially there are super drugs, such as radioimmunotherapy, allowing for a greater response and also for the duration of the response to be longer. In addition, investigators have started to look at other drugs and they are too numerous to mention, but again, the same idea, which is targeted therapy.
A patient with lymphoma should definitely ask about whether they would qualify for Rituxan for B-cell [lymphoma]. They should ask the doctor whether they would qualify for treatment with Rituxan with chemotherapy, and they should ask about radioimmunotherapy because this is becoming more proven. Because things change so quickly, they should ask the doctor about other target therapies that are being developed. They're numerous right now under development and under clinical trials.
Rituxan is approved for low-grade lymphoma, as I mentioned, one class of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. It represents roughly a third of patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. However, since it's approved for low-grade lymphoma, investigators see its efficacy [in clinical trials] in lymphomas in general. What we're finding is, it works in almost all B-cell lymphomas, so now, almost all patients with B-cell lymphoma get Rituxan in one combination or another.
There are two radioimmunotherapy drugs that are commercially approved. One is called Zevalin (ibritumomab tiuxetan), and one is called Bexxar (tositumomab and iodine I 131 tositumomab), and they're made by different companies. They are approved for the low-grade lymphomas, but they are approved for ? low-grade lymphomas that have relapsed. Now, [in] the clinical trials the question is, rather than waiting for the patient to relapse, what if you move it more up front?
There are other drugs that are not yet approved for the lymphomas in general, but investigators are actively evaluating their efficacy. For example, Ontak is one we're doing, [another is] the drug Velcade (bortizomib), and then other antibodies, similar to Rituxan but targeting other targets. A lot of these drugs are not approved yet, but are under development right now.
As a group, in terms of the newer therapies versus the older therapies, what are the new approaches doing for patients' quality of life the older ones couldn't?
Dr. Dang:
The first point is that hopefully it will increase survival, because, after all, that's what we want is drugs that will help patients live longer. For example, Rituxan in patients with diffuse large cell lymphoma. Convincing data show that when Rituxan is used as part of the treatment up front and the treatment is CHOP. That definitely allows more patients to live longer. No question about that. That's our goal number one with all of these new options is to increase survival. For other diseases it may take years before we know that for sure.
Number two, these targeted therapies allow more patients to have response, live longer, and they don't get sick from chemotherapy the way we think of when we think of chemotherapy.
In terms of the potential benefits of these new therapies, do they apply equally across the board, say for someone with more advanced disease as opposed to someone in the early stages of NHL?
Dr. Dang:
Right now, that is a little bit harder to know, because it would take more data to show. We know in certain subsets of disease, for example, in one kind of NHL, diffuse large cell B-cell lymphoma or intermediate-grade lymphoma, the so-called GELA study, a multi institution study in Europe involving hundreds of patients found that [in] patients over the age of 60 with this disease when you have CHOP/Rituxan [it] definitely improves survival. It's hard to make a blanket statement because different kinds of lymphoma have different stages and not all [are] exactly equal. Within pockets of lymphoma, we do know that even patients with advanced stage are helped by these new treatments. The best thing for patients, if they get diagnosed with lymphoma, is to ask the doctor precisely what kind of lymphoma they have and only then will can they get the nitty gritty. It's hard to make a blanket statement because of the heterogeneity of the disease.
You lead me to my next question, which is what patients who are not involved in the trials can do to find out more about what's going on? Where can they look?
Dr. Dang:
The first place you should always start is with the oncologist. There are many sites on the web, whether it's non-profit organizations like Leukemia & Lymphoma Society or American Cancer Society. [But] lymphoma is tricky even among oncologists. There are times when there are controversies, disagreement how to best treat [the] disease - it's not very black and white, there are a lot of grays in between. That's why when it comes to lymphoma, I always advise patients, besides reading on the web or textbooks, the key is to start with your oncologist because he or she can really give you the nuances just by reading you would not be able to understand.
What about patients who might have an interest in becoming involved in a future trial? How do you approach that question?
Dr. Dang:
It depends on where the patients live. At M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, because we are a major referral center, we have a lot of patients who come in to see us specifically to see if we have new trials. For patients who may not live near a major medical center, a good place to start would be the local oncologist, if he or she knows of cancer centers that are running different trials. Another place is the web. You can go to the web and go to the sites of the cancer centers for which you know the name, like the M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. Many centers will have on their Web site descriptions of the various trials they are doing. You could also go to the National Cancer Institute, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society or American Cancer Society.
What can patients and their families look towards down the road? Where do you see clinical research headed for NHL?
Dr. Dang:
What we know is that chemotherapy will still have a role. [In] 5 or 10 years, chemotherapy will have a role, but there will be more and more targeted therapy as more of these drugs being developed now go through the pipeline. The future is potentially a combination of chemo, or different targeted therapies. The development of targeted therapy will continue and as these clinical trial data mature we'll know more about efficacy and side effects, and then we will start to use different combinations of targeted therapies - just like [in] the old days when we started to use combination chemotherapy. As more of these targeted therapies develop, the trend is to start to adding them, whether it's to chemotherapy or to other biologics, like we do with Ontak and Rituxan.
I'd like you to share a few final words. What message would you like to leave with our audience, doctor?
Dr. Dang:
The main message is that there is hope out there. We are making a difference in terms of survival, and whether it's by catching the diseases early and treating them early or by the addition of new drugs, what we're finding is that we are making a difference in the natural history of the disease. We're able to get the patient to respond and get the response to last longer, and in some cases already proving that this leads to longer survival. This is what I tell my own patients, because they'll say, "Well, if you treat me with XYZ, and it works, what happens?" We are seeing revolutionary changes in many cases, and three or four years from now we may have so many drugs that allow patients to live longer. There's a lot of work to be done for sure, but there's a lot of hope for the future.
Well, Dr. Dang, thank you for joining us at HealthTalk and for providing us with this very helpful and important update.
Dr. Dang:
Thank you very much, Rick, it's my pleasure.
We just took a look at emerging therapies for NHL with Dr. Nam Dang of M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. From our studio in Seattle and all of us at HealthTalk's Lymphoma Education Network, I'm Rick Turner. We wish you and your families the best of health.

Most nights, while traveling in and around the cul-de-sacs of the Summerville Place subdivision, the sounds of violin practice can be heard. The lilting tunes emanate after dark from the Walters house.
The music is not created by 5-year-old Jack; he's already in bed. It's at that time that Jack's dad, 43-year-old Jeff Walters, retires to the laundry room to practice. This isn't a lifelong activity that's carried over into adulthood. It's not even a reunion with an instrument he abandoned long ago.
Walters is practicing his violin in his laundry room because he always wanted to learn to play this instrument. Seven years ago, he decided to do it.
Walters moved to Charleston in 2003 from Atlanta. He's a software engineer.
He played a trumpet in middle school, but always liked the sound of a violin. In his mid-30s, he tried to teach himself with the help of a DVD and a methods book.
It was music teacher Alison Harvey, though, who provided the early instruction and then later encouraged him to join the Summerville Community Orchestra.
The 40-person orchestra's mission statement is simple: to provide opportunity for volunteer musicians to play for the pure joy of it. This struck the perfect note for Walters.
Not hoity-toity
The Summerville Community Orchestra is primarily composed of amateur musicians who mostly played in high school or college bands.
Walters says he hasn't met anybody who started as an adult.
During his first few rehearsals, he merely tried not to play a sour note.
That has a tendency to let people know where you're sitting. All he wanted to do was enjoy the music and blend in.
Walters later started taking lessons from the orchestra's conductor, Alex Agrest.
This took him to even greater heights, thanks to the conductor's own prowess with the instrument. Walters felt blessed to be exposed to the Russian immigrant's vast knowledge and considerable teaching skills.
Walters played catch-up to many others who were far more experienced. But it was tough for anyone else to match his passion.
The Summerville Community Orchestra plays four concerts a year. There is no concert hall.
Performances are held in the sanctuaries of Northwood and Summerville Baptist churches.
If nothing else, the orchestra's musical offerings are diverse. At its upcoming concerts on Jan. 30-31, patrons will hear a Beach Boys medley, an Irving Berlin Symphonic Portrait and selections from "Star Wars." Not too many iPods probably include that musical smorgasbord.
Sitting among his fellow musicians during those performances will be Jeff Walters.
He loves this departure from his computer and it's not always easy to hide the smile while keeping proper position on the violin's chin rest.
Perfect harmony
The obvious lesson here, I suppose, is that it's never too late to learn something. There certainly aren't too many adults standing in line to learn to play the violin.
For Walters, he knows that this road requires patience, discipline and enthusiasm. We adults don't always embrace those qualities.
Many of us think we know it all, been there/done that, and have the T-shirt to prove it.
Here's a guy who has taken a difficult path from the laundry room to the concert stage for one reason, just for the pure joy of it.
Sounds like Walters and the Summerville Community Orchestra found each other at just the right time.

Create a New Holiday
Tradition for Your Family: A
Thanksgiving Tree
Looking for a simple but meaningful way to celebrate the holidays? Why not make a Family Thanksgiving Tree? Though it's good to start this wonderful holiday project a week before Thanksgiving Day, it's really never too late to make one!
Our family has been making Thanksgiving Trees for several years now and they really make our holidays even more special. As we see our homemade tree hanging up on the wall each day throughout the holiday season (we keep ours displayed all the way through Christmas), it reminds us of how much we are blessed, even with just one quick glance.
It can be so easy to get overly stressed during the holidays, especially
when money is tight or someone in the family might be out of a job or even seriously ill. But we all really do have so much to be thankful for.
Poster Board - With a black or brown marker, draw a large tree on a poster board (forming the outline of a tree trunk and branches), then use small pieces of scotch tape to attach the poster to a closet or pantry door.
Construction Paper - Tape together several sheets of brown construction paper to form a tree and branches (use sheets of paper cut in half lengthwise for the branches), then attach the tree to a closet or pantry door as instructed above.
Real Tree Branch - Use a real tree branch that's somewhat flat and attach it to the door somehow (I haven't tried this method yet but I'm sure it could work!), or place it in a bucket of sand and pinecones. Be creative and make your tree bases however you want!
Next, Make Some Leaves to Write on...
Using construction paper or other similar material, cut out a stack of leaves (preferably the fall colors of red, orange and yellow). Make enough so that each member of the family will have plenty of leaves to write out individual things they are thankful for, and even a few extra for holiday visitors.
Sometimes I like to attach a small envelope to the door to hold the unused
blank leaves, but a small decorative container to place nearby would be even more festive.
Then as the leaves are ready, add them to the tree with a small piece of tape on the back, or you can use a glue stick. Place them all along the branches in different directions. You can even place some 'fallen leaves' along the bottom of the tree, for a nice look of the Fall season.
Making a Thanksgiving Tree has become one of our family's treasured holiday traditions. No matter how we make them they are always beautiful to me. And the meanings within our leaves, of all the things we are thankful for (including each other), are the most beautiful of all.
Let's make every day a Thanksgiving Day!

(ABC 6 News) -- As part of our overall health many of us may take for granted good and accessible dental care and for some, they simply cannot afford it.
But there is an annual event where dentists are helping make kids' smiles a whole lot brighter.
"He picked my teeth and then he poured water on them," said 5-year-old patient Sebastian.
According to him, his trip to the Good Samaritan Dental Clinic went something like this.
"Then I closed my mouth and opened it," said Sebastian.
But his check-up also included some valuable lessons.
"We are very lucky to have dental hygienists and dental assistants to give oral hygiene instructions to the kids," said Pam Lawrence of the Salvation Army.
As part of Give Kids a Smile Day the Salvation Army's Good Samaritan Clinic says they will serve more than 60 children that do not have dental insurance or access to care
"There are some kids coming in who have significant decay and haven't had the opportunity to get dental care and to have some teeth taken care of," said Dr. Bernard Bouquet a volunteer dentist.
This year for give kids a smile day they have a new tool to help them out, a new digital x-ray machine.
"We are really excited, we can send x-rays if needed so they can carry on their care in the future," said Pam Lawrence.
The goal is to start good habits early.
"Prevention is the way to go if we can prevent decay, we don't have to treat decay," said Lawrence.
Sebastian learned how to floss and how long to brush his teeth for. Habits that may keep his smile big pearly and white.
In all nearly three thousand dental care workers volunteered for the event including more than five hundred dentists.
The event continues on Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon.

U.A.E. Nuclear Program Gets $2 Billion Loan from U.S. Exim Bank
Sept. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Emirates Nuclear Energy Corp., the state-owned company developing an atomic power plant in the United Arab Emirates, received a $2 billion loan from the U.S. Export-Import Bank.
The loan to the Barakah One Co., a unit of Emirates Nuclear, will pay for American products and services used in the construction of four 1,400 megawatt reactors, according to a statement from the government-run bank. Westinghouse Electric Corp., based in Pittsburgh, will supply some of the equipment for the facilities, the bank said.
The first of the plant's four reactors will be ready in 2017, with each additional unit becoming operational every year through 2020, according to Emirates Nuclear.
The U.A.E., the sixth-largest producer in the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, is developing nuclear power to meet rising electricity demand from its growing population and diversifying industries.

Tuesday, December 31, 2013
The hot summer of 2013 in Murrells Inlet and Garden City started with the bang of fireworks not all of them being shot off from the pier and the repercussions from the explosions are still being felt six months later.
The quiet little fishing village of Murrells Inlet and its oceanfront counterpart, Garden City Beach, were not so quiet in the second half of 2013, thanks in part to the six-week invasion of a crew and cast for a reality show, created by 495 Productions, the same company that brought Jersey Shore to the small screen.
While other television shows and feature movies have been shot in Georgetown County, the outcry from the 24/7 filming in a residential area during July led to Georgetown Countys first film ordinance, approved in October. A similar film ordinance is being considered in Horry County.
But while Party Down South, which will debut at 10 p.m. on Jan. 16, may have stirred up the most noise, it was by no means the only event that had an effect on the area, and some other items that made news this past year may be felt for decades to come.
Cast members of the reality show from Louisiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, Mississippi and Alabama stayed at Kings Krest, worked at Crazy Sister Marina, dined at local restaurants, drank at area bars, not to mention the house, rode personal watercraft and generally partied hearty. Murrells Inlet will never be the same, promised a trailer for the show.
Not everyone was happy to see the cast and crew in the Inlet, and their presence stirred the creation of a Facebook page that lauded businesses that said no to hosting the cast. One neighbor filed a complaint with the Board of Zoning Appeals, challenging the 24/7 filming just one house away from his residence. While Warren Stedmans appeal was denied, Georgetown Countys new film ordinance sets restrictions on filming, the notice that must be given before production starts and other requirements.
Still pending is a noise violation issued to the cast. The shows staff has asked for a jury trial but a date for that hearing has not been set.
Noise of a different type also split the Inlet, when the Marshwalk restaurants sponsored Monday Night Lights, fireworks from the Marsh Walk pier from July through Labor Day. Residents expressed concerns about the noise and the possible effect on the marsh.
Originally billed as a way to bring people to the Marsh Walk on a slower summer night, the shows instead became of way of thanking the patrons and residents, said Charley Campbell, managing owner of the Dead Dog Saloon. While there are no plans to repeat the weekly shows this year, there may be other lights on the marsh through laser shows.
Murrells Inlet 2020 took a stand against the fireworks, citing the lack of information about the effect on the marsh, a prime breeding ground for oysters and other shellfish, which already are under attack from pollutants and runoff.
MI 2020 not only took a stand to protect the marsh, it presented in June an economic impact statement that showed its wallop on the area.
The study, paid for by a grant from the Frances P. Bunnelle Foundation and completed by Coastal Carolina Universitys Center for Economic and Community Development, showed the financial reach of those living and working within the 29576 ZIP code.
Most notable among the findings were the contributions of the restaurants within the study area to the bottom lines of Georgetown and Horry counties, as well as the boost in real estate income brought about by the marsh and the ocean.
That income may well increase in the next three years as the long-delayed expansion of the Carolina Bays Parkway and widening of SC 707 from the new terminus just west of Enterprise Drive and 707 to US 17 Business was dedicated in November amid much fanfare.
SC 707 will be widened to five lanes and curbs and gutters installed while SC 31, which stops at SC 544 will extend to the newly widened road.
Construction closer to home and to completion also took center stage.
The new community center is expected to open early in 2014. The former building was shuttered in late summer and then demolished.
With external walls in place, work on the inside of the expanded building is continuing and an opening is expected by summer.
One construction project that came to fruition during 2013 is the Jetty View Walk. The boardwalk runs from Morse Park Landing to Nances, and was built at a cost of about $189,000.
It was dedicated in September.
Another dedication was held on Veterans Day, this one for the S.C. Heroes Memorial.
Darryl Hammond, vice commander of Murrells Inlet VFW Post 10420, conceived the idea of honoring fallen military members, who lost their lives in the war on terror.
Using his own funds to get the project off the ground, Hammond sought donations for the granite monument that will bear the names of those from South Carolina who died fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.
At the dedication, there were 109 names inscribed.
As 2014 begins, one more item is left unfinished.
The Murrells Inlet Garden City Beach Fire District is optimistic that the General Assembly will lift its millage cap on the district to allow the organization to increase its funding. That will provide the needed money to construct and staff a fourth station on McDowell Shortcut Road.
A move to lift the cap failed in the last legislative session, despite what appeared to be overwhelming support from district residents in a series of meetings held throughout 2013.
Because the district spans two counties, state lawmakers retain control over the cap, which is at 10 mills. District officials are seeking an additional 10 mills, but have promised to limit their request to 2 mills.

Star Tracks - March 12, 2012
Thanks for asking me
I had the best seat in the house at "Growing with Hope," the wonderful fundraiser that was held at the Kane Center at the Council on Aging of Martin County on March 4 to benefit Hope Rural School (HRS). It wasn't the best because the table had an unobstructed view, or because the chairs were any different from those at other tables.
It was the best because I sat next to Erin Dilla, who's been teaching at HRS since she graduated from college nearly 20 years ago and who has a love and knowledge of the school that is captivating. After the students who performed so entertainingly in "Annie" came down to meet the members of the audience, I saw her receive countless hugs and kisses from these youngsters who obviously adore all their teachers. They were reveling in their success and brimming with confidence, and I wasn't the only teary-eyed person in the room, thinking what a difference this school, the staff and Sister Mary Dooley makes in their lives.
Thanks so much to Bill Pentecost and Sue Hesch for including Al and me - it was a true joy to be there.
For more about Hope Rural School, visit www.hoperuralschool.org.
Curves cares
Marsha Zacks, the owner of Curves in Port Salerno, tells us they're holding their annual March food drive. If you donate a bag of groceries or $30 for House of Hope anytime during the entire month, Marsha and her staff will waive the joining fee. She delivers all the food and contributions to House of Hope herself. Curves is located in the Salerno Shopping Center on Salerno Road and U.S. 1 in Stuart. For hours or information, call (772) 463-7471.
Kingswood's better idea
Members of the Kingswood Condo Association #3 Women's Club, located in Stuart, had a great idea for a fundraiser. They presented 71 handbags, filled with items ranging from reading glasses to toothbrushes, to residents of SafeSpace, Inc. Judy Sabatino, Club president says, "The women-to-women generosity and support was overwhelming and well appreciated."
United Way adds three
United Way of Martin County added three local non-profits to its affiliated agency list. Hobe Sound Early Learning Center, Humane Society of the Treasure Coast and Project Lift all met the United Way's Standards of Affiliation and are now eligible for funding during the 2013-14 funding cycle.
Speaking of United Way
A fundraiser that's an annual tradition is on the horizon. To get you in the mood for "Fantasy Island," committee members will hold a kick-off party at 5:30 p.m.on April 6 at Ian's Tropical Grill in Stuart. Enjoy free appetizers while you learn about the 4th Annual Escape to Fantasy Island that will be held on April 28 at a private estate in Palm City. If you buy your ticket to Fantasy Island at the kick-off party, you'll get a free drink, a $20 voucher for Senses Holistic Spa and be entered into a drawing to win a free ticket later that evening. Proceeds benefit United Way of Martin County. Call Amber at (772) 283-0019 for details.
HSAPL update
No sooner does Hobe Sound Animal Protection League (HSAPL) share the successful results of one fundraiser than it's time to promote another one! The recent luncheon and fashion show that was held at Renato's Italian Ristorante in Harbour Bay Plaza raised close to $4,000 for the no-kill, non-profit feline rescue organization.
Now Shannon Borego tells Luminaries that a classy event - High Point Soiree - is set for 6-11 p.m. on March 31 at a private waterfront estate in Sewall's Point. Guests will be transported from Harbour Bay Plaza to the party in private limousines, and will enjoy live music, wine tasting, outdoor open bar, DJ, scrumptious food from Ooo LaLa Catering and many amusements and auction items. Tickets are $140 per person. Call Patti Strait at (772) 225-1987.
Regatta kicks off
The Stuart Sailfish Regatta, which takes place April 14-15 and benefits Children's Museum of the Treasure Coast, Maritime Classic Boat Museum and the U.S. Sailing Center, invites you to a volunteer orientation kick-off party at 5:30 p.m. on March 15 at the Sailing Center in Jensen Beach. Enjoy snacks and beverages while learning about the event and the volunteer opportunities it offers. Call (772) 497-6329.
No excuses
There are so many events on today's Luminaries weekly calendar we had to go to one-and-a-half pages to list them all! There's a huge selection of events, daytime and evening, free or paid, family or adult-oriented in all three Treasure Coast counties. Find one(s) you like and support our wonderful not-for-profit partners.

My Top 3 Breakout Body Image Stars of 2014

But, if you dig a little deeper you will find that every year there are a few standout women in the spotlight, who are not afraid to breakaway from the B.S. and send a more positive message.

LOL! The delivery phone girl is terrible! She had the decency to say "again!" after my friend came over to order later on in the day. The food is great, the pizza is the best around the area and their menu is very robust. They need to put someone else on the phone so that I can give this place a better review. But they are still getting my money every week so I guess until some competition moves in
Posted by anonymous on 10/12/2009
I was happy to be able to find a place that served good italian dishes and good pizza. However the young lady that answers the phone is completely obnoxious and an idiot. You have to repeat your information about three times...if you could get past that then it's a good place.
Posted by Z on 06/05/2009
I love the food from this place, although it probably seems somewhat better than it actually is because the competition in this neighborhood is virtually nonexistent - I've lived in NYC all my life, but never in a hood with such a depressing array of restaurants. Anyway, while I do like their pizza and subs quite a lot, the service is consistently, ridiculously bad. EVERYONE who answers the phone there seems like they can barely stand to be bothered with customers. Being put on hold for extended periods is the norm, as is being hung up on while on hold, and having to repeat yourself numerous times when they finally get around to actually taking your order. If I weren't so desperate for decent takeout in this neighborhood, I would never want to give these guys any business. As it is, I order from them much less than I would if they had someone decent answering the phone - and I'm sure I'm not alone. If you can stand the rude service, once in a while the food is worth dealing with it.
Posted by Inwood Pizza Eater on 09/30/2008
Was shocked to log on here and see everyone had the same issues as me! Ditto re girl on phone rude and ditto re delivery problems. Also they never put the little plastic thing in the box and the box comes smashed down onto the pizza. We called after it became repetitive.
Posted by Anonymous on 07/09/2008
When I first started ordering from Grandpa's I thought it was a good deal and I always went in to order the food and bring it home. Then I started getting the food delivered and the girl who takes the order is RUDE. I asked her to explain what they included in the supreme (who would have thought PINEAPPLE) and she hung up on me - twice! I finally got her to take my order (I went with the chicken roll which was good). So the food was really good but the service over the phone sucks (they're super nice if you go in and they have to deal with you face to face). Then they raised their prices. I can get a chicken roll in mid town for less than what they are charging here! Rude, no longer a good $$ value, but still the best pizza in the neighborhood.
Posted by justmyopinion on 04/11/2008
I love their food, but i feel like i have to fight with the delivery girl who takes my order just to order what i want - she either doesn't know what something is or doesn't know if they have it. They don't have a big menu, it shouldn't be too hard to know what's on it. Also, I always get the vegetable stromboli (which is really good) but ask for an extra sauce (which is .50 cents extra, but worth it). They have forgotten it twice, so the last time this happened I called, and they acted astounded that i would want them to bring me the extra sauce since it was only 50 cents. I actually wound up apologizing to the guy on the phone because they made me feel so guilty about having them bring me the correct order. The thing is.... the food is sooo good that i'll go through the agonizing process of ordering, etc... time and time again even if it is a chore. Find me another place up here with food this good and better delivery and i'll order from there.

We waited 2 hours for our pizza to be delivered.... After four calls from 1hr on, (we were told it would just be 10min more each time). the pizza finally came. It was hot and delicious, but how can a pizza that supposedly got out of the oven 1 hr ago be hot??? They need to get their act together... Good pizza, but not worth the hassle..

After trying a new product over the weekend, I thought it might be nice for the Gibson Girls to share advice on products that did not work for them.
My bad experiece was with the Philosophy Candy Cane Body Souffle. I received this gift set for Christmas. I love the lip balm and the 3-in-1 is pretty good, but the body souffle was an interesting experience.
I have been trying to be better about putting lotion on after a shower. I tried the body souffle for the first time. By the time I was done applying it, my skin was warm and cool at the same time. I had planned on leaving the house but I was so uncomfortable that I stayed home an hour longer so that the sensation would go away. It might be a good thing on a hot day, but definitely not on a cold windy day.
Do you have any products you would recommend people not buy?

The company is hoping lightning strikes twice with a solo adventure for the sidekick of its other famed tandem, Ratchet & Clank.
It won't be long before Sony finds out if the plan works, as a post on the official PlayStation blog this week confirms Secret Agent Clank will be infiltrating stores for the PSP June 17.
Clank's first solo outing is being developed by High Impact Games, creators of the first PSP Ratchet & Clank game, 2007's Size Matters. In the game, Ratchet has apparently turned to crime, and it's up to Clank to clear his friend's name. While Clank is the focus of the game, players will also get the chance to take control of the series' fraudulent hero Captain Qwark, among others.
For more on Secret Agent Clank, check out GameSpot's previous coverage.

A Sweetwater man who was arrested for disorderly conduct after peeping over bathroom stalls in south Abilene restaurants was arrested on similar charges last weekend at ACU.
Officials at ACU confirm 40-year-old Jeremy Jacques was arrested for criminal trespassing by ACU police after he was found crawling out of the bathroom window of a female dormitory.
Jacques was taken to the Taylor County Jail and was released after posting $1,000 bond.
The Abilene Police Department Bomb Squad robot destroyed a suspicious package in Sweetwater Wednesday afternoon.
"It was taped up with some black electrical tape and athletic tape, and did not have a proper label on it," said Det. Lance Richburg of the Sweetwater Police Department.
Sweetwater PD called in the Abilene Police Department Bomb Squad after a postal employee picked it up at the Nolan County Courthouse and brought it to the post office.
"Once the postal employee began looking at the package more closely, he became concerned and left it in the parking lot," Richburg said.
The 2011 racial profiling statistics for the Sweetwater Police Department (SPD) were presented during the February 2012 regular meeting of the City Commission by Sweetwater Police Chief Jim Kelley.
According to the written report, racial profiling is defined as "a law enforcement-initiated action based on an individual's race...rather than on the individual's behavior or on information identifying the individual as having engaged in criminal activity [and] pertains to persons who are viewed as suspects or potential suspects of criminal activity."
The "Adopt-A-Mustang" program is back again. Lady Mustang Softball players have decided to take part in the program starting Thursday, Feb. 23, for the Varsity tournament. The program is designed to let students from kindergarten through sixth grade "adopt" a high school athlete. Students have the chance to adopt a Lady Mustang varsity softball player. Registration is still $25, and students will get a t-shirt and button with their adoptees name and picture. And because the varsity players are in such high demand, students can adopt the same Lady Mustang if they want.
At 10 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 25, the Friends of the Library will present award-winning Texas historian Bill O'Neal, who will speak about his book, The Johnson-Sims Feud: Romeo and Juliet, West Texas Style.

What to Do With A Sodastream
Mr.Ifyoucookit and I got a Sodastream for Christmas. We just cracked it open over Superbowl Weekend and tried some of the flavors...
I can't say I was a huge fan of any of the flavors we tried. I'm a Coke fan and the Coke didn't do it for me. The other flavors we tried were so, so sweet. We are going to try halving the amount of syrup but I'm wondering--What do you do with your Sodastream?
Do you have a favorite ready made mix or syrup...do you mix yours with fruit juice or other mixers? I don't want this thing to just sit around and go unused (and I love bubbles) so I want to give it a good shot....
Any thoughts SE community?

"Wonderful complement to the Sugar Vine card... Really glad I splurged on the extra labels, cause now I have some for other cards!"
"Loved the look of these return labels! The only comments I would make is that the stickers could be made with better material. The color is beautiful but they seem a little thin. Also, the top line doesn't hold many characters (even if you reduce the font size), so I had to limit mine to my boyfriend's and my first initials and last names. Still think they are great!"
"The tags are great! Very easy to read and they match the card design beautifully! I title the tag "Willie's Pack" to make a human tag dog-centric! It's perfect! (and always gets a response from our recipients!)"
"I am an address label junkie and the quality of this label does not disappoint. Easy to read and it sends a message of joy"

Michael Stoff, Plan II Honors Director, Receives the Regents' Outstanding Teaching Award
The Regents' Award recognizes a commitment to teaching through the delivery of the highest quality of undergraduate instruction.
Posted: August 20, 2012
The Regents' Outstanding Teaching Award recognizes a commitment to teaching through the delivery of the highest quality of undergraduate instruction. Professor Stoff, has been a member of the history faculty since 1979 and was honored as one of the University's Distinguished Teaching Faculty in 2002. He teaches 20th century American history. Professor Stoff serves as co-editor of the Oxford New Narratives in American History and is currently writing a book on the atomic bombing of Nagasaki.
Offered annually in recognition of faculty members at the nine academic and six health University of Texas System institutions who have demonstrated extraordinary classroom performance and innovation in undergraduate instruction, the Regents' Outstanding Teaching Awards are the Board of Regents' highest honor. With monetary awards of $25,000, the Regents' Outstanding Teaching Awards are among the largest in the nation for rewarding outstanding faculty performance. Given the depth and breadth of talent across the UT System, the awards program is likewise one of the nation's most competitive.
Faculty members undergo a series of rigorous evaluations by students, peer faculty and external reviewers. The review panels consider a range of activities and criteria in their evaluations of a candidate's teaching performance, including classroom expertise, curricula quality, innovative course development and student learning outcomes.
Established by the Board of Regents in 2008, the Regents' Outstanding Teaching Awards complement a wide range of Systemwide efforts that underscore the Board of Regents' commitment to ensuring the UT System is a place of intellectual exploration and discovery, educational excellence and unparalleled opportunity.
Dr. Stoff will be on leave during the 2012/2013 academic year, during which Alexandra Wettlaufer (Plan II Associate Director and professor of French) will serve as the interim director of Plan II Honors.

One is the controversy over at Gawker Media (which I also blogged about on our Bare Feet Studios web site) requiring employees to set up profiles at Facebook. The other is our situation here in Kailua where a group of homeowners on L'Orange Place have gated the beach access. There are a lot of strong opinions on the matter, most of them strongly in favor of finding a way to preserve beach access. You can find the back story in this in Beach Walk #494. […]

There has been quite a lot of talk about the effectiveness and increased visibility provided by modern light emitting diode, or LED, taillights in street rods, but that is only half the story. The superior brightness of LEDs is also being applied to the front of those relics in an increased effort to provide optimum visibility during both day and night operation. Carson, California's United Pacific Industries, manufacturers of LED lighting products for both street rods and muscle cars, has just introduced their amber LED turn signal light, which is a direct-fit replacement for the front signals for the 1940 Ford Deluxe coupe and sedan, as well as the 1940-41 Ford light duty pickups. The company also offers a bunch of other popular applications, but you'll have to check out its Web site for a rundown of those.
UPI's epoxy-coated, fully sealed and waterproof 21 amber LED turn signal lights feature solid state circuit boards designed to fit the original 1940-41 Ford headlight doors and operate at between 9–14 volts, which is more than sufficient lighting power for conventional 12-volt street rod electrical systems. These LEDs feature a total of three wires. First, there is the red wire that powers the turn signals. Next, there is the black wire that powers the parking lights, and lastly there is the white wire, which is the ground.
Here's more good news, UPI's 1940-41 Ford amber signals are designed to interface with modern OE and aftermarket street rod wiring harnesses. So, if you have a harness from Painless Performance, Ron Francis, the Wireworks, or the like, the UPI's turn signals will wire right into the existing harness. The only problem you may run into is with the factory-style flasher unit itself. Oftentimes, it will misread the LED as a burned out bulb and won't function properly. To avoid this, simply replace the factory-style flasher with a UPI LED turn signal flasher (two-terminal P/N 90650, three-terminal P/N 90651).
Follow along as we show the proper installation of these parking lights on Hawaii Classic Car Cruisers member Tony Rodriguez. He'll be upgrading the parking light lenses on his wife Paula's Moon Yellow 1940 Ford Deluxe coupe to highly visible LEDs.
