The Birth of Breast Cancer; Do Adult Diseases Start in the Womb?
Fackelmann, Kathleen, Science News
Epidemiologist Dimitrios Trichopoulos, puzzling over why women develop breast cancer, focused on various factors before homing in on a chemical that appeared to operate in a surprising environment many years earlier.
That chemical is the natural hormone estrogen, which may have set the stage for cancer while the women were still in the womb, says Trichopoulos of the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston.
Invasive breast cancer strikes about 180,000 women in the United States each year. It is the most common cancer among U.S. women. Known risk factors, such as a family history of the disease, early menarche, or a first live birth after age 30, account for only a small portion of cases. What's behind the high frequency of this disease in the U.S. population?
Over the years, scientists have blamed and exonerated many factors, including a high-fat diet and abortion, but none has proved the central villain in the story of breast cancer.
New research is drawing attention to the beginning of a woman's life. Trichopoulos and others now believe that some factor within the uterus programs fetal cells for the development of cancer decades later.
"It is a provocative hypothesis-one that needs to be explored further," comments Louise A. Brinton, chief of the environmental epidemiology branch of the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Md.
Breast cancer is not the only disease scientists think may be linked to the intrauterine environment. A spate of recent reports suggests that conditions in the womb may play a role in the risk of prostate cancer, heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and other chronic diseases. Such ailments don't appear until the fifth, sixth, or even seventh decade of life.
In the 1980s, Trichopoulos had been trying to figure out why, despite advances in treatment, breast cancer continued to cut a wide swath among U.S. women.
He knew that cells, including mammary cells, face the highest risk of cancer before they become specialized for a specific function. Once a breast cell is specialized for, say, milk production, it is relatively resistant to cancer. Yet some breast cells remain largely immature until puberty or even a woman's first pregnancy. While other researchers looked for the genesis of breast cancer in the teenage years or during a first pregnancy, Trichopoulos went back even further-to the immature breast cells of the fetus.
Trichopoulos also knew that the female sex hormone estrogen fuels the growth of breast cells. Rapidly dividing cells are at greater risk of genetic error, which can lead to cancer. Indeed, some researchers believe that postmenopausal women who take estrogen alone, rather than a combination of hormones, face a higher-than-average risk of breast cancer.
Putting these two ideas together in the April 21, 1990 Lancet, Trichopoulos suggested that high concentrations of estrogen circulating in a mother's womb may increase her daughter's subsequent risk of getting breast cancer.
"If it turns out to be right, it will be an important advance, " Trichopoulos says. "We feel confident that something is happening during the perinatal period."
He is the first to admit that many questions remain about estrogen's role in the womb. Moreover, the hormone is just one of many players that could influence the mammary cells of the fetus, he says.
The first empirical data supporting his theory hit the press 2 years after he proposed it. In the Oct. 24, 1992 Lancet, Trichopoulos, Anders Ekbom, Hans-Olov Adami, both at Uppsala University in Sweden, and their colleagues reported that women who had weighed 8 pounds or more at birth had a 30 percent greater risk of breast cancer later in life (SN: 10/31/92, p. 293).
Other research has suggested that women with higher-than-average concentrations of estrogen in their blood during pregnancy give birth to heavier babies. Because the Swedish study was small, the link between breast cancer and weight at birth could have been due to chance. …

23 News financial expert Scott Laue says you can take your retirement plan with you wherever you go. If you're out of a job or considering a job change, he says think about moving your 401-k to an IRA. Laue says that will allow you to continue delaying taxes on your retirement, and to avoid an early withdrawal penalty. But, Laue says, if you have a good retirement pot with your former employer leave your money there or roll it over to your new companies plan. If you do decide to cash in, you will get a check for the balance minus 20 percent withholding for income taxes.
How can you break even? That all depends on your age, and your return percentage annually.

A silver unmarked police car pulls into the parking lot of a two-story apartment complex off St. Johns Road late Wednesday afternoon, drawing attention of local residents. The three officers inside look for a burgundy four-door sedan in one of the complex's garages.
It isn't there. The officers will have to come back later.
It's a typical situation for officers with the Digital Evidence Cybercrimes Unit, a group of civilian investigators and police officers with the Vancouver Police Department and Clark County Sheriff's Office.
The group was looking to arrest the car's owner without getting a warrant to enter his residence to save time. Unfortunately for them, the owner wasn't home.
They stopped by the next morning and found the suspect getting into his car on his way to work.
Officers arrested Michael Basom, 57, Thursday on suspicion of 29 counts of dealing and 10 counts of possessing depictions of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct, aka child pornography.
He will make his first court appearance Friday morning.
The unit helps with almost any case involving digital evidence, but it spends a lot of time investigating child pornography and sex-related crimes.
Basom was on the unit's radar for allegedly dealing and possessing child pornography, but his case got kicked into overdrive after he allegedly confronted a boy in the bathroom of a local department store, said Sgt. John Chapman, who manages the unit.
"It's one thing to distribute and possess," he said. "Now we have a guy who attempts to go hands on with a child."
It's because of cases like this that the unit is stretched thin.
High-priority cases
The severity of the crimes the unit handles forces its members to pick and choose which battles they can fight with the resources they have. Crimes such as child pornography, child predation and sex trafficking are high-priority cases because they are extremely damaging, Chapman said.
"With computer forensics, 90 percent of the time is spent on child pornography now," he said. The other 10 percent is spent helping with other cases, including suspicious deaths and the occasional fraud case.
The unit, which operates out of the old section of Vancouver Police's west precinct along Northeast Stapleton Road, is responsible for everything from processing surveillance footage to investigating online fraud cases. It also deals with sex trafficking, sexting in schools and online bullying.
The team was brought together under one roof earlier this year. That means that three investigators (one from Clark County and two from the city), a federal agent, Chapman and two detectives work under one roof. Pooled resources allow the team to work more effectively on cases.
"It's working pretty well," Chapman.
Long investigations
On Wednesday, the unit arrested James Mehas, 47, of La Center on suspicion of communication with a minor for immoral purposes.
Mehas allegedly began a texting and phone relationship with a 14-year-old girl from Alaska, Chapman said. The girl's father reported the case to police in Juneau. The department in Alaska got in touch with Chapman's unit to investigate.
Earlier this month, officers with the unit arrested James J. Blunt, 46, on suspicion of 607 counts of possession of child pornography. He was also arrested on suspicion of three counts of alleged dealing in child pornography, police spokeswoman Kim Kapp said.
Before officers could make the arrest, they spent more than a year investigating.
"Every one of those investigations can be extremely time consuming," Chapman said.
Typically, investigations start from tips and sometimes a sting. From there, a warrant is issued. Investigators don't usually make an arrest at that point, Chapman said. Instead, they search the home for "every kind of storage medium" they can find and take them as evidence, he said.
Digital experts
Back at headquarters, civilian investigators make copies of the storage devices and sift through files to prepare a report for the detective on each case and evidence for court.
"We're kind of jacks of all trades," said Eric Thomas, a civilian investigator with the unit.
The unit gets involved in virtually any case where there is digital evidence, which can be "anything from arson to harassment," he said. "If you think about it, almost every crime has a digital evidence component to it."
Now that electronics are becoming more sophisticated, investigators find themselves analyzing files on cellphones too, Thomas said.
Sometimes they'll download contacts, text messages, videos and GPS information when the phone supports it, he said.
Some of the latest features that make life more convenient for smartphone owners, especially GPS-tagged photos, also make investigations easier for the unit, Thomas said.
"Some of those features are turned on automatically," he said. "It's very nice to find out exactly where photos are taken on an iPhone or on a Droid."
Challenging duty
In the case of child pornography, investigators must look at the images to see if they are in existing databases or are new files representing new cases of abuse, Thomas said.
It's a high price the small team has to pay to put online criminals behind bars.
Chapman said looking at the images day after day takes a toll.
"I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the people working for me," he said. "It's awful. That's why I don't let myself see them (the images)."
Investigators say seeing the abuse keeps them motivated.
"Yeah we've seen those images, and we know what those children have gone through," Thomas said. "That motivates us more to get the person responsible."
The unit is also responsible for keeping tabs on the 600 or so sex offenders who live in Vancouver city limits.
That means detectives must make random visits to addresses where sex offenders claim to live to see if they are actually there. Sometimes offenders are at work or just not home — as happened twice Wednesday afternoon.
Why don't they call ahead of time?
If check-ins are scheduled, a sex offender could be at one address for the check-in and live somewhere else the rest of the time, Chapman said.
Education role
The unit also tries to help kids and people who work with kids learn how to prevent problems before they happen or to respond when they do.
"We can't just go out into the public," Chapman said. "I'd love to, but we don't have the time."
Instead, he meets with school counselors and administrators to help spread information. He also forged a partnership with a Christian nonprofit agency called AWARE that places speakers in local schools to talk about the sex trade, pornography and other things.
The unit hopes to solve part of its resource problem by hiring another civilian investigator in the near future with money from a two-year grant.
"That would make the turnarounds faster, which would be great," Chapman said.
The extra body may help investigations take several weeks instead of several months, he said.
But for now, the group is continuing to do as much as it can with the resources it has.
"We're putting ourselves between an abuser and a child," investigator Thomas said. "When you do that you feel like, OK, it's been a good day."

New Role for the WTO
Revising the WTO articles for environmental provisions
Much of the approach and specifications in the WTO charter regarding the environment is at best one of conciliation and concession rendering rather than one of recognition of direct and indirect linkages between economic and environmental features, their dynamic interdependence and the design of policies with less than impatient exploitation of resources of the planet. Despite an eloquent statement in the preamble to the WTO Article of Agreement, little else seems to contribute to that proposed foundation. No doubt, the WTO is not to be deemed as an environmental protection agency and that it should maintain its focus on the governance of the multilateral trading system as per its charter. This assertion also specifies a duty to act: the specified tasks include, inter alia, coherence with within and across various articles of the WTO charter. The WTO working rules cannot ignore the foundation in the preamble. Such a mechanism is not expected to enhance the functioning of the institution nor its contribution to the stated objectives.
The preamble relating to requirements of protection of the environment and natural resources, compliance with sustainable development in the WTO Articles did not get reflected in the new GATT 1994; its interpretation for application of trade and environmental principles continues to fail to recognize the role of environment in most trade disputes. Since the new GATS is more like a twin entity of the GATT, the same terminology and interpretation of various

The Texas Rangers' Gold Glove shortstop caught something different in the offseason: an 11-foot anaconda, in the wildlands of his native Venezuela. He later released it.
"It was always a dream of mine to go out in the jungle and try to find an anaconda," the 41-year-old Vizquel said. "You see so many movies and so many things about it. I saw it in the zoo and other places, but it would be great just to see it out in the wild."
The former Mariner obviously wasn't swayed by the fact that in those movies, the large snakes are usually wrapped around their victims and trying to squeeze them to death. Anacondas have an average length of 20 feet and usually weigh more than 300 pounds.
"It was just an awesome experience, a lot of adrenaline," Vizquel said.

After last season, Vizquel gathered a couple of buddies for a trip to a wildlife refuge in the Venezuelan state of Apure. They were with a guide in search of an anaconda and to view all the other wildlife as well.
In a video Vizquel shared Friday in the Rangers' clubhouse, he is with a guide when they find the anaconda in water just off the side of a dirt road. The snake, barely visible above the water line, is wrapped around a turtle.
The guide stepped into the shallow water, grabbed the anaconda by the tail and pulled it onto dry land.
"I was a little scared," Vizquel admitted. "Those snakes can eat an alligator."
Still, Vizquel was all smiles when he got his chance to take the agitated snake by the tail. Vizquel eventually held the head of the snake, its mouth opened wide and its body coiling. Anacondas are nonvenomous.
"I'm never going to confront him about anything because he might grab my neck," joked Rangers slugger Josh Hamilton.
As for Vizquel, "Yeah, I got it out of my system. But it would be great to go again and try to catch a bigger one."

Waitaki Deputy Mayor Hugh Perkins officially opens the
redeveloped Omarama Community and Memorial Hall yesterday.
Areas of rugged country around Omarama that had previously
been ''out of reach'' to air traffic controllers, will now be
clearly visible, after air navigation service provider
Airways installed new high-tech devices.
Omarama hopes to open its redeveloped community centre in
October, ending more than six months of work at a cost of
about $730,000.
The former head chef-restaurant manager of the Ladybird Hill
vineyard restaurant in Omarama has won $4500 compensation
after the Employment Relations Authority found she was
unjustifiably dismissed in February last year.

Maintenance Tips for your portable jobsite Jet JBTS-10MJS Table Saw
As you make each cut, sawdust will collect inside the body of the saw. The table and fence grow sticky with wood resins, particularly if you work with pine, cedar, teak rosewood, and other oily woods. Wood pitch builds up on the blade and the saw teeth lose their sharp edge. To maintain the saw in proper cutting order, it is important to periodically clean and lubricate.
To clean the saw, unplug it and remove the blade. Vacuum or blow out, using an air compressor, the saw body. This will remove a majority of the saw dust. Inspect the blade carriage and other parts for gummy buildup. As you cut wood, the saw blade heats the wood resins and flings them all over the inside of the Jet Table Saw, where they stick. Dissolve bigger lumps of resin with turpentine or oven cleaner. Then scrub all the parts with a stiff bristle or brass wire brush.
After you are certain that the inside of the tablesaw is clean, lubricate the blade tilt and blade elevation mechanisms with a light application of silicone spray. Now you are ready to tackle the outside, which is just like detailing a car. Brush or vacuum away sawdust, then inspect the table, rip fence, fence rails, and miter gauge. Remove any rust, stains or wood pitch from your Jet JBTS-10MJS Table Saw with a scotch brite pad. You can apply a light coating of wax and buff to a brilliant shine.

Author of books like No More Misbehavin' and Don't Give Me That Attitude!, parenting expert, educational psychologist, Today show contributor and mom, Dr. Michele Borba posted this interesting and helpful article on her website blog on how to get your kids talking.
Does trying to get your kids to open up about their day feel like an inquisition? Do you feel like you're giving your kid the third degree to tell you anything about their life? If so, studies show that using different communication techniques can help kids open up and share more about their life.
You: "What did you learn today?" Kid: "Nothing"
You: "Do you have any homework? Kid: Nope
You: "Did you make a new friend?" Kid: Yep
If this sounds at all familiar, don't despair. There are ways to get children to talk about their school day and even give us a clue as to what's going on in their world. The trick is to use a few different communication strategies. Find ones that work best for you and your kid and then practice the same one over and over until they become second nature.

Beeson Divinity School strives to shape serious shepherds for God's people. We believe that God's servants learn best in a community environment where, through face-to-face encounters, we help one another love God with heart, soul, mind, and strength. We believe the Bible is God's word written and thus fully trustworthy and fully able to teach us how to serve our Lord and his people.
Given these convictions, we mentor students in the classroom, in small groups, and individually. One major way we engage in mentoring is through the offering of a curriculum that helps students gain an ever-deepening grasp and integration of the Bible, Theology, Spiritual Disciplines, and Pastoral Service.

Bollywood actress Mallika Sherawat is not pleased with her link-up with Hollywood actor Antonio Banderas. After being held responsible for his split from wife Melanie Griffith, she says don't pry into her personal life.
Mallika, who entered the Indian film industry in 2003 with "Khwahish" , was recorded on video dancing with the "Desperado" star during a party in Cannes two years ago.
"I remember when they danced and they had a lot of PDA (Public Disply of Affection), he had a lot of public affection with Mallika," Los Angeles stylist Ivan Bitton was quoted by radaronline.com as saying.
"He was saying 'God you're so beautiful,' like a horndog would do talking to a prey," he added.
After the report, the "Murder" actress tweeted, Thursday: "LEAVE ME ALONE!"
When contacted by another international site eonline.com on her relationship with Banderas, who along with Griffith recently announced that they were ending their marriage after 18 years, Mallika said: "Antonio Banderas is a wonderful man, a great dancer and an acquaintance of mine."
"I did not go on any vacation with him, and I'm sorry he's going through a divorce," she was further quoted by eonline.com.
She went on to say that Bitton was hired only for the international film festival.
"Ivan Bitton is not my best friend. I hired him as a stylist at Cannes and then fired him. I'm sure he released the video.
"I don't know what he's even talking about now. I haven't been in touch with Ivan since I fired him. Whatever he's saying about me is ridiculous," she said.
Hailing from Rohtak in Haryana, Mallika went international with Jackie Chan-starrer 2005 film "The Myth", and then did Jennifer Lynch's "Hisss" and William Dear's "Politics of Love".
Her first visit to the Cannes fest was with Jackie Chan for the promotion of "The Myth

Holy hell. Given that the world of Westeros is chock full of psychopaths for whom rape, slavery, torture and murder is completely inconsequential (or, in the case of Ramsay Snow, just a great deal of fun!) the idea that GRRM thinks Walter White is worse than any of his characters is a bold testament to Breaking Bad's depiction of a man's descent into evil.
Also, given the monsters he's already created, I'm having a hard time imagining what GRRM would think is "worse." I mean, what else is there? Other than maybe a dude who wears dead babies as slippers?

Dillinger 4's Paddy Costello: My songs now are about poopy pants and bears
Photo by Christy Hunt
Founded in 1994, Dillinger Four is 19 years old. They've played something like 10-14 D4th of Julys, depending who you ask. They're toured the globe, released records on Fat Wreck Chords, and they all work full-time in addition to their role as Twin Cities punk godfathers. In the past year, though, the band has become more than just punk godfathers, they've become fathers themselves.
Gimme Noise chatted with bassist Paddy Costello, who along with fellow musician Christy Hunt (Pink Mink) welcomed a child in late May. The family jumped right in to reality, with Dillinger Four scheduled to play at Art-a-Whirl on the night after their daughter was born. As he fought sleep deprivation reconfigured his work schedule, the discussion with Gimme Noise covered what it's like to be a musician and to raise a newborn daughter.

Dillinger 4's Erik Funk: My 2-year-old son hates our music
Gimme Noise: How was it to play the night after Hollis was born? Was your head in the show?
Paddy Costello: I had joked for months that I knew Hollis was going to be born on the day of Art-a-Whirl. Christy wasn't due for another ten days and she was super encouraging about it. And then it turned out to be the day before. She was the one who insisted, in the hospital, that I play the show. "Just run over there, play the show, and then come back." I literally showed up ten minutes before we played and I was gone not fifteen minutes after we were done and back to the hospital.
It was really great and it was all per Christy's insistence. Right when she came to, it was "Did you talk to the guys?" and I was like, "Sure," thinking it was gibberish. "No, about Art-a-Whirl." We just had our daughter and that's the first thing you bring up? "You have to play. Don't cancel it."
Have you been playing music at home?
Both of us have. It's been harder to make the time for it, but you can talk to anybody who is a songwriter and one of the best fuels for songwriting is sleep deprivation. There's been a couple of times I've gone down to the basement to do another load of laundry and I suddenly realize I've been fiddling around on the guitar for an hour. Most of the things I'm working on are kids' songs that I play to her. I wish I was writing songs of rip-roaring political value, but I'm afraid most of my songs nowadays are about poopy pants and bears playing the woods. I have quite a few songs about how Hollis is a monkey, Hollis is a bear, Hollis is a goofy little monkey-bear. I think I have 3-4 songs about that... I've been heavily influenced by zoo animals of late.
To tell you the truth I could probably be writing songs about the financial duress of 1980s Columbia and I don't think it would faze her at all because she has no idea at all what I'm talking about.
Are you going to be doing a kids' record, then?
Christy and I have actually talked about it. We have some loose jams we've been cranking out at the house. Tentatively, right now we're called the Nordeast Turkeys. We have a couple of songs that we play for Hollis. Again, a whole lot of talk of monkeys and bears, stuff like that.
Any music she hates yet?
It's very funny what I'm beginning to discover she likes and doesn't like. We've discovered there's a bit of Mozart Christy plays on the piano -- Hollis is a big fan of that. She's a big fan of "Your Brain Attracts Flies" by Toys That Kill, who is playing the 4th with us. Not so surprisingly, not a big fan of Slayer. She doesn't get very happy when Daddy plays Slayer.
The Liberace movie on HBO, Beyond the Candelabra: huge fan. I've seen that thing probably ten times the last two weeks. It's all sparkles and wafting, mellow piano. She can be having the fussiest night, I just put on Beyond the Candelabra, lay her on my chest, and she just zonks out instantly. So that's a little tip for anybody out there with a newborn: get very familiar with the Liberace story.
Are you concerned about how some of your exploits might look in the future when she gets older? Or will she just know you at that point?
I'm not worried about it, no. She'll know how goofy and ridiculous Daddy is by that point. It won't take her that long to see that Daddy's got a bunch of ridiculous tattoos. I'm sure there will be that day in elementary school where she throws a D4 record on and goes, "Oh, Christ, this is what my dad does?"
While all her friends are into whatever the next Hannah Montana is?
Yeah, right. With any luck she'll be in the next room listening to Sham 69 and the Gories but we'll have to wait and see. I've actually openly joked about I've wanted to hide all of my punk records and never talk about punk ever so she can find it on her own, because I've got this horrible, horrible prediction in my head that she's going to grow up thinking, "Ug. Punk. That's what my mom and dad are into."
It'll be like Family Ties?
Totally. People have already joked to Christy and I that she's going to have to be a drummer: Paddy plays bass, Christy plays guitar. Christy tells them: no, she'll be a professional tennis player. She'll be an accountant or something, being the one who as a teen is, "Oh, God, my parents played in bands. Dad, don't take your shirt off again."
So no family band plans?
The Costello 3, we'll see if we can whip that up. A couple of times when I've played guitar the hand has gone out. Just trying to get her used to the vibrations and the fingers running up and down and stuff...There's a part of me, but you don't really want to plan on forcing your kid into anything. We'll just wait and see what she's fiddling about with.
Again, I'm pretty sure she'll be about 8 and be calculating our monthly bills. "Mommy, Daddy, why do you spend so much on records?" She's going to be an accountant. Fair enough, man, someone in the family's got to be.
Are you going to have to tone back your "rock 'n' roll lifestyle" as a father?
It's already happened. If you did an interview with a couple of bartenders around town they'd tell you I've become a cheap date. The very casual lifestyle I've afforded myself for the last fifteen years was mostly because I just had work and the band. For the most part all I did was go see other bands. Pretty much each night of the week I went to a show. Not to sound too corny or too Hallmark, but everything everybody says about having children is true. When you look at this child and you realize, "you are totally reliant on me," it doesn't become like a hindrance or anything, it's very natural.
There was just a show that Christy and I really bad wanted to go to, but both of our major babysitters were going to the same show. We wanted to go but we weren't bummed at all... I feel like I'm giving the drippiest interview of all time here.
Are you going to be able to handle the D4th weekend or will you just take a big nap once the sitter arrives?
The baby's just another factor. I think we're easily about a decade into looking at every D4th, even when it was only one show, being "Am I going to be able to handle this?" Sometimes a really good time takes a lot out of you. I'm still not sure how I'm going to handle it.

Picks are based on fundamental strength
It's not all champagne and caviar
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
Global markets are once again reeling thanks to a number of
political issues. Emerging markets are under pressure thanks to a
variety of protests, while developed markets in Europe are facing
uncertainty thanks to more debt concerns.
This trend has led to devastating consequences for a variety
of commodity producers, as the dollar has strengthened against a
number of global currencies. Plus, many key markets such as China
could see reduced demand levels in the months ahead, further
adding to commodity producers' woes.
In particular, gold and silver miners have seen weakness in
this environment, falling by well over 45%, as represented by the
Gold Mining ETF (
, since the start of 2013. Yet, while many investors have been
laser-focused on the precious metal market, there has also been
significant weakness in the base metal world
as well.
Companies in this space have been hit hard by the same issues
of a strong dollar and sluggish international demand, and could
thus be ones to avoid as well. One firm in particular that could
struggle in this environment is
Southern Copper (
Southern Copper in Focus
SCCO is a major U.S.-based producer of copper in key Latin
American countries, but especially in Peru and Mexico. The firm
mines over
one billion pounds of copper
-for the last full year-while it smelts and refines a similar
amount as well.
The company saw soaring stock prices for much of 2012,
although the firm did see extreme price volatility. However, the
stock has since cratered in 2013, falling by about 30% in the
first half of the year.
This slump has been largely due to two key factors; the weak
outlook for copper, and the low earnings growth projections for
the firm by analysts. In fact, current projections are looking
for a year-over-year earnings contraction of 20% for the full
year period, with similar double digit contractions for the
current quarter and next quarter periods too.
Analysts have also taken down their estimates of the
company in recent weeks, as not a single estimate has gone higher
in the past 90 days. The current year earnings consensus is now
just $2.04/share, a far cry from the $2.63/share that analysts
were expecting 90 days ago.
Thanks to this trend, SCCO has earned itself a Zacks Rank #5
(Strong Sell), suggesting that it will underperform in the near
term. And with the sluggish outlook for copper for the rest of
2013, it seems like it will be difficult for SCCO to break out of
its slump and push higher, especially considering the falling
earnings expectations.
Better Plays?
It is hard to find a good play in the Zacks Industry of
Mining non-Ferrous metals
, as the industry currently has a rank of 247 out of 261. In
fact, in our five mining industries, there are only two #1 Ranked
Brigus Gold (
Impala (
Both of these are in struggling industries, but they have
proven to be best-in-class thanks to improving earnings
estimates. Plus, both have seen their ranks surge from holds (or
worse) up to strong buy territory, suggesting either of these
names might be better picks than the struggling SCCO at
this time.

The Five: Christopher Guest, H.B. Risk, OC Pole Fitness
1. Series uses H.B. for Civil War backdrop
When director Christopher Guest wanted to re-enact Civil War scenes for his new HBO series, he looked to Huntington Beach for some historical accuracy.
The Huntington Beach mother-son duo that choreographs the elaborate Civil War Days in Central Park was tapped by Guest for their expertise for an episode of "Family Tree."
"They had us re-enact a re-enactment for the series," said Darrell Rivers, 21. "It's really an interesting portrayal ... they kind of got the weird eccentricities of being re-enactors."
Rivers and his mother, Kelly, have been putting on Civil War Days at Huntington Central Park for 19 years. The family celebrates its 20th re-enactment in September. The Rivers' re-enactments include hundreds of actors taking over Central Park to create a living history of what life was like in the Civil War era.

2. Verizon partners with Surfrider
Nearly 450 volunteers from Verizon Wireless picked up 214 pounds of trash from the beach south of Huntington Pier Saturday as part of a company-sponsored beach cleanup.
But that wasn't all. The company also donated $5,000 to the Huntington Beach/Seal Beach chapter of the Surfrider Foundation, the nonprofit that promotes clean oceans and other causes. Some volunteers brought their kids to rove the beaches and collect pieces of trash large and small that often wash onto the sand from the ocean.
Tony Soriano, the Surfrider chapter president, praised the donation, listing a litany of causes the money would help fund.
"Verizon's donation, or anyone else's, supports our efforts to stop single-use plastics from ending up in our oceans. It funds clean water programs that safeguard the health of our ocean waters," Soriano said, adding the donations also help educate children on environmental awareness and pollution issues.
The $5,000 donation is the first in Verizon's second wave of donations to communities across Southern California, what it's calling the Verizon SoCal Experience. Verizon already donated $20,000 to nonprofits in Palm Springs, the Inland Valley and the Victor Valley.

3. OC Pole Fitness Huntington Beach location closes
After being open for seven years, the Huntington Beach location of OC Pole Fitness held its last day of classes June 18.
The business's founder, Collette Kakuk, is shutting the doors so she can spend more time at home with her family – she's pregnant with her third child, due July 11, which is her fifth at home between her and her spouse. Kakuk sees the move as "going out on top," and while she would love to keep the studio open, she says its size and the amount of classes would make it hard to do so while raising her children.
"There's no reason for the closure that was financial other than too much exposure to try and run that kind of an entity at this point in my life," Kakuk said.
Her other, smaller OC Pole Fitness studio, at 26731 Aliso Creek Road in Aliso Viejo, is remaining open. She has partnered with S Factor, another name in pole dance fitness in Costa Mesa. Students who make the decision by the end of June to merge to S Factor will continue paying the same rate.

4. Naked man fished from H.B. channel
Several Huntington Beach police officers rescued a naked man suspected of being on methamphetamines who was found floating in a flood control channel on Saturday.
Police at about 3:30 p.m. responded to reports of a fight in the 7900 block of Moonshadow Circle, according to a report posted to the department's Facebook page. When officers arrived, a man ran to the back of the house, leaving behind a methamphetamine pipe and a BB gun, police said.
Police reported officers had been called out several times in recent weeks to the same house.
Family members told officers nobody was hurt but they believed the man could be under the influence of meth, police said.
Nearly an hour later, police got a call that there was a naked man floating in the flood control channel near Beach Boulevard and Warner Avenue.
Police officers saw it was the same man who ran from the house.
He is not identified because criminal charges have not yet been filed. He is being treated at a hospital and police are awaiting a mental health evaluation.

5. Company looks to Kickstarter for 'Risk' map
Ever felt the urge to throw on your battle armor on behalf of Huntington Beach? Soon you might be able to – and without leaving home.
Bungled Board Games designs alternative maps for the game of Risk, and it's using crowd-sourcing website Kickstarter to raise money to release maps for the U.S., U.K., New York and Los Angeles areas. Funding ends July 18; more than $21,000 has been raised.
The L.A. map includes an Irvine region (worth three armies per turn if you control all the lands) that envelops Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa, Santa Ana and Orange.
Contribute $30 and you'll get a professional-grade game board; contribute $500 and Bungled Board Games will carve a board out of wood. But first, there's a battle to unlock all 15 maps. Backers get polled on which map to unlock after every $4,000 that's spent.
Without a lot of L.A. backers, local Risk aficionados might go wanting, and you wouldn't like a Risk player when he's angry. Info: havocboards.com

Alvarez had an outstanding three-year career with the Dirtbags, posting an overall record of 23-5 over three years, while striking out 195 total batters. After pitching three innings as a freshman, Alvarez earned a spot in the rotation as a sophomore and dominated the conference, earning Big West Pitcher of the Year honors as well as second-team All-America honors, posting a 12-3 record with a 2.72 ERA and striking out 89 batters while walking just 27.
The next season, Alvarez shared Big West Pitcher of the Year honors with Jered Weaver, as the pair was two-thirds of a trio that all reached the major leagues. Alvarez was again named a second-team All-American, posting an 11-2 record with a 2.35 ERA over 122.2 innings, striking out 102 and helping to lead Long Beach State to its first-ever Super Regional appearance.
Drafted following the 2003 season in the second round by the Boston Red Sox, Alvarez was a fast-moving prospect that made his MLB debut with the Red Sox in 2004, becoming the youngest member on that team to earn a World Series ring. Alvarez would spend two more years with the Red Sox, appearing in three seasons with the major league ballclub.
Alvarez will work with the Long Beach State coaching staff while completing his undergraduate degree in history. Alvarez resides in Long Beach with his wife Natalie.

O'side vows more youth programs to curb crime
Waste Management gas fuel plan approved
Oceanside council members vowed this week that the city will embark on a renewed effort to step up recreational programs and other services in violence-plagued city neighborhoods.
The move at Wednesday night's City Council meeting was in reaction to the shooting death of two teens and wounding of two others in Libby Lake Park earlier this month.
"I know a lot of people are concerned with what's going on," Mayor Jim Wood said.
Police Chief Frank McCoy said no arrests have been made but "our detectives have been working around the clock on this particular case."
McCoy urged the public to contact police with any information they have, "even if someone calls up and wants to be anonymous."
He said extra patrols have been added around Libby Lake Park as a deterrent.
"We've had officers out on foot in the park area. We've handed out fliers in the neighborhood to see if there are any other witnesses who would come forward," McCoy said.
At the urging of Councilwoman Esther Sanchez, the council by a unanimous vote instructed City Manager Peter Weiss to come back in 45 days with an action plan that shows what's needed, where it's needed and how to pay for it.
"It's a small investment in our neighborhoods compared to what could happen," Sanchez said.
She also called for the city to coordinate its efforts with the Oceanside Unified School District.
Councilmen Jerry Kern and Gary Felien said they agreed that the city must act to stem the violence but warned that the city would have to cut spending elsewhere to do it.
"Choices have to be made," Felien said
Eastside resident Angel Jarquin said one problem is that, because of budget cuts, recreation centers aren't open when children get out of school and need them.
The council also unanimously agreed Wednesday to call for new bids on site work needed before 22 soccer fields can be built at the city's sprawling El Corazon property in central Oceanside. Original bids came in far in excess of what officials estimated.
But in a 3-2 vote, the council decided against updating a 2009 study aimed at estimating the cost of planned public improvements to the property, a 465-acre former sand mine on Oceanside Boulevard between Rancho del Oro Road and El Camino Real.
In other business, the council by a 3-2 vote upheld a Planning Commission decision to allow Waste Management to build a compressed natural gas fueling station at the company's Oceanside Boulevard complex.
Kern, Felien and Councilman Jack Feller voted against updating the El Corazon study and in favor of the Waste Management project. Wood and Sanchez voted for the study and against Waste Management.
Waste Management's plan to build a natural gas fueling station was criticized by people who live near the 2141 Oceanside Boulevard site and say it's already too noisy and the fueling station would make it worse.
Nadine Scott, who lives near the site, called the situation "inhumane."
"You cannot treat our neighborhood as a throwaway neighborhood," she said.
Wood said he liked converting diesel fueled trucks to natural gas but was concerned about the complaints of ongoing noise. He said he's received "page after page" of noise complaints.
"I wish there was a compromise," Wood said.
Wood said Waste Management should look for ways to reduce the noise.
"I truly believe between the city, Waste Management and the neighborhood we can truly work this out," Wood said.
City planners said the fueling station will create less noise but that Waste Management could operate from 3 a.m. to midnight.
The station will allow Waste Management to convert its trash trucks from diesel fuel to natural gas. The station will service 42 trucks and significantly reduce polluting emissions from the trucks, according to Waste Management

Each year during No Spend Month I do an assessment of our spending and ask myself, is this $55 Costco Membership really worth it? So far, each year I discover that yes it is easily worth the cost for all of the money I save on groceries.
The trick is to shop with a list and make sure I only buy the healthy real foods that are on it. Otherwise, it is very easy to come out with a bunch of junk, both food and other items, that we don't need.Surprisingly though, it isn't all giant boxes of frozen taquitos and 6 pound bags of Frosted Flakes. There are actually quite a few organic foods available at Costco.
Sick of couponing, shopping sales, and meal planning only to find you're still busting your grocery budget? This is the simple system my family used to cut our grocery budget in half.)

Little goblins, super heroes and princesses will have to wait an extra day to collect their goodies.
Most communities have moved trick-or-treat hours to Friday because of nasty weather.
The change in trick-or-treat hours has led to a later start time for Friday night's Class 5A sectional football game at Whiteland against county rival Franklin. The game will start at 7:30 p.m. instead of 7 p.m. School officials plan to pass out candy to kids in attendance.
In New Whiteland, kids can go door-to-door tonight or Friday night.
Trick or treating — inside — at Greenwood Park Mall will still be from 6 to 8 p.m. today.
High winds and a 100 percent chance of rain prompted city leaders and Johnson County Sheriff Doug Cox to postpone trick or treating by a day.
Franklin decided to move trick-or-treat hours to Friday, partly at the urging of residents, said Angie Longtin, the city's director of communications. The city received dozens of calls and e-mails from parents worried about the rain and wind forecast for tonight.
"We had a lot of citizens concerned. They didn't want their kids out in that," she said.
Winds are expected to gust to 15 to 20 mph tonight, with higher gusts possible, National Weather Service meteorologist Mark Dahmer said.
Rain is expected, and a severe thunderstorm could roll in tonight, he said.
"Winds will definitely be a main threat that could occur," Dahmer said.
County officials moved trick or treating as a safety precaution for parents and kids, Cox said.
Trick-or-Treat Times
Bargersville: 6 to 9 p.m. Friday
Edinburgh: 6 to 8 p.m. Friday
Franklin: 6 to 9 p.m. Friday
Hickory Creek at Franklin nursing home: 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Friday, 580 Lemley St.
Greenwood: 6 to 8:30 p.m. Friday
Greenwood Park Mall: 6 to 8 p.m. today
Johnson County, including the Center Grove area: 6 to 9 p.m. Friday
New Whiteland: 6 to 9 p.m. today or Friday
Prince's Lakes: 6 to 9 p.m. Friday
Trafalgar: 6 to 9 p.m. Friday
Whiteland: 6 to 9 p.m. Friday
Send us photos
We want to help you show off your kiddos' Halloween costumes. Snap a photo and send it to email@example.com.
Make sure you include the children's first and last name, parents' names and the community you live in.
Your photo may be used on our website or in the newspaper.
But changing the day when thousands of kids walk the streets and knock on doors asking for candy can present a few problems.
More traffic moves through the Center Grove area on Friday nights, and trick or treating will now overlap with Friday night football. Center Grove travels to Jeffersonville for the sectional championship on Friday night.
People may see fewer officers on the road, since Cox can more easily schedule reserve deputies to work on a Thursday night than a Friday night, he said.
But the high winds could be dangerous, with the possibility of downed tree limbs and blowing debris that would have made trick or treating tonight hazardous, Cox said.
"It's all about the safety of the children," he said. "The safety is what swayed us."
New Whiteland still plans for trick or treating tonight, but families are being given the choice of whether they would like to brave the weather tonight or wait until Friday, said Melissa McCarty, utility clerk for the town.
New Whiteland residents who want to wait until Friday to give out candy can do so, and trick-or-treaters are welcome to go on Friday to people giving out treats, McCarty said.
Friday is expected to be cloudy but dry, Dahmer said.
Edinburgh's trick-or-treat hours also have been moved to Friday, but the town's Halloween festivities are still on for tonight — they'll just be indoors. A kids costume contest and trick-or-treat village will be in the town's sports complex at 722 S. Eisenhower Drive.
"When we looked at the extended forecast, the weather looked like it was coming in right when trick-or-treating would start," said John Drybread, director of utilities for the town of Edinburgh.
The planned activities that will be moved indoors will still give kids a chance to celebrate the holiday on Halloween night, and then they can collect candy the next day, he said.
"Overall even with the nasty weather, they can still have fun and hopefully there will be good weather for the children on Halloween," he said.

So many books ...
... and so little time. Thousands of tomes see print each year, and Books can't get to most of them — so we've culled some from the herd that might be worth a look. These are not reviews — they are book alerts.
It's a national obsession. No, that's not strong enough: It's a national addiction. And Ellen Ruppel Shell believes it is killing us.
The "it"? Our fixation on low price. As Ruppel Shell argues in "Cheap: The High Cost of Discount Culture" (Penguin Press, 296 pages, $25.95), our lust for the bargain has distorted the economy, sucked us into ever-deepening debt and, ultimately, lowered our standard of living. Even as "wage stagnation and growing debt made discounting all the more compelling" the "discounts don't compensate for the staggering and rising costs of essentials — housing, education and health care. A terrific deal on tube socks does not keep foreclosure and bankruptcy at bay. Nor will it sustain us."
Nor, she writes, is it just us; our decisions impact the lives of hundreds of millions around the globe, in everything from environmental degradation to impoverished lives.
"Cheap" is full of solid, well-written reporting as the Atlantic correspondent travels the globe and uncovers startling links and anecdotes (you might never eat shrimp again). Ruppel Shell examines the psychology, the politics and the personal ("In a market awash in increasingly similar — even identical — goods, price is the ultimate arbiter; the lower, the better. I know this because I live it.") behind "our Faustian pact with bargains."
Heaven help me, I can't help looking it up: Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Borders all offer discounts on "Cheap."
Lauren Weber takes a different tack with "In Cheap We Trust: The Story of a Misunderstood American Virtue" (Little, Brown and Company, 310 pages, $24.99) but she and Ruppel Shell would nonetheless have a lot to chat about at Starbucks.
Weber, like Ruppel Shell a journalist, offers a history of the United States through the lens of frugality, ranging from Ben Franklin's maxims to John Maynard Keynes' writing on thrift and today's ongoing recession (it's ongoing, I don't care what Ben Bernanke says).
Weber and Ruppel Shell find common ground, both advocating thoughtfulness about how we live and the ramifications of our economic decisions and skepticism about consumer culture. But Weber sees being cheap more as a tool, as a means to self-sufficiency and independence. I'd love to sit in on that coffeeshop conversation.
Life can be cruel and twisted in soooo many ways! Just ask Frank Bruni. After a lifetime of battling his ballooning weight with diets, pills, fasting, purging — heck, let's just say it: The man had an eating disorder — Bruni, a star reporter at the New York Times, is offered a star job at said newspaper: restaurant critic.
Can he resist? Of course not. Could you?
And it's hard to resist "Born Round: The Secret History of a Full-Time Eater" (Penguin Press, 354 pages, $25.95), his sometimes startling memoir of life in the food lane, starting with a childhood passion for good eats, nurtured by his family's hearty Italian fare, and continuing to his job, where "going off the rails would be too costly.
"... I didn't want to go to a job-related dinner worrying about how much I'd consumed already. And if there was a dish or two that I particularly liked, I wanted to be able to allow myself more than a few extra bites without having to fear that I was being reckless."
Great, just what I needed: Proof I did damn near everything wrong raising my son. Too late for me, but Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman's "Nutureshock: New Thinking About Children" (Twelve, 336 pages, $24.99) may be just the shock you need. (Parents, you know who you are.)

A 19-year-old man was hospitalized with multiple stab wounds Saturday after an incident in downtown Vancouver. A suspect is in custody.
The man, whose name was not released, suffered stab wounds to his forearm, lower abdomen and buttocks, according to Cpl. Duane Boynton of the Vancouver Police Department. He said the injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
Boynton said the stabbing was reported at 4:25 p.m. near the Share House, 1115 W. 13th St. The victim was transported to a local hospital.
Witnesses provided a name and description of a suspect, who reportedly fled before police arrived, Boynton said. A search of downtown led to the arrest 30 minutes later of Johnny L. Miller, 32, no residence provided, on suspicion of assault in the first degree. He was booked into the Clark County Jail.
