There is now widespread realization that many if not most cancers,
perhaps 80%, are caused by substances in the environment: cigarettes,
fossil fuels, pesticides, drugs, preservatives, food colors, dyes,
radiation, asbestos and many others.
Some of this has become known through the detection of cancer among people who are particularly exposed to these substances, including those engaged in their manufacture. As long ago as the 18th century, it was realized that the scrotal cancers of chimney sweeps were caused by skin irritation from soot. Investigations in recent decades have demonstrated that cancer can be induced in animals by an increasing number of these substances, including all those which have been proved to be carcinogenic in humans. But it is not known how many carcinogenic substances in animals will produce cancer in humans, nor can it be assumed that different species of animals are uniformly subject to cancer induction.
The different susceptibility of species is only the beginning
of an almost endless list of factors which affect an individual
animal's chance of acquiring the disease, and which influence
its nature and duration. Among these are sex, in-breeding, age,
diet, the combined effect of two or more carcinogens (may be additive
or inhibitory), husbandry (impurities in the diet, water or air,
bedding, housing conditions -single or group caging - crowding
stress, etc.), immune status, and the way the carcinogen is metabolized
in a particular species. This variability is further complicated
by a variation in response to each type of carcinogen: thus the
rabbit is refractory to liver tumor induction from azo compounds
but susceptible to skin tumors from polycyclic hydrocarbons, whereas
the rat is susceptible to these in opposite fashion. (Grice, H.,
1975, p.13).
Proceeding to the matter of the substance to be tested and the selection of dose and frequency of exposure, another Pandora's box of variability opens. Assuming that the objective is to extrapolate (transfer) to humans the cancer potential demonstrated in animals, there must be a relationship between the conditions under which both humans and animals are exposed to the substance being tested. Saccharin, for instance, fed in enormous doses to rats, produced bladder cancer, yet this hardly mimics the typical human exposure to comparatively minute quantities of the substance, especially when it is likely that such massive doses may overwhelm the natural defense mechanisms of the body, which normally can be counted on to defend against or even repair potentially cancerous changes in the genetic material of the cells. (Gehring, P., 1973).
Another problem is the frequency and duration of exposure to the test chemical. In order to be comparable to the very long development period of most cancer, the material may have to be administered daily over the life span of the test animal - and cancers are also very slow to develop in animals: in monkeys, the species closest to man, up to 10 years is required to develop tumors, and 5 to 10 years is not uncommon in dogs. Thus the investigator is forced to concentrate on rodents, but even with these a year or two may be required, during which all the conditions which may affect the experiment must be kept constant, and, if there are results worth reporting, these are still in species far removed from our own.
Finally, the impurity of the test substance can skew the results. With the increasing sensitivity of procedures such as the Ames Salmonella Test, a mutagenic (or carcinogenic) effect can be demonstrated in what was supposed to be a harmless substance simply because it was contaminated by a tiny amount of a potent carcinogen. In fact the saccharin in the experiment described above was demonstrated by the Salmonella test to contain traces of just such a substance, which might be another explanation for the cancers which appeared in the rats. (Donahue, E., 1978). The Grice study noted that "factors such as batch to batch variation, chemical synthetic processes, packaging, handling, storage and processing into food and drug preparations and interacting with other chemicals can have profound influences on the toxicity of the test material. Long-term studies should not be undertaken until the above information is available and unequivocally established." (Grice, H.,1975, p.20).
Unfortunately, the emphasis on the use of animals in bioassay of slow-developing cancer has resulted in vast numbers of such studies, all subject to the variable factors described above, and therefore frequently of questionable scientific value. Furthermore, if the variables were uncontrolled, or unrecognized and not reported, it is impossible for a later investigator to reproduce the experimental results. It is disturbing to think of the wastage of animals in these investigations, the loss of human time, and the expense.
Nevertheless, the high cost of carcinogen investigation in animals - an experiment involving typically 600 to 700 animals and costing more than $100,000 (Sontag, J., 1976) - and the disappointing results in terms of prevention or cure of the disease in humans, have raised a clamor for a fresh approach. Humane considerations have had little to do with it, but humanitarians can nevertheless find encouragement in the new trend.
In the light of recent developments in cancer research and
better understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms
involved, it has become retrospectively clear why the animal testing
of the past came up with so few clues to the nature of the disease
in humans. A brief review of the mechanism of carcinogenesis as
now understood will help to explain this.
It is now believed that the chemicals which act as carcinogens must be activated or potentiated in the body by enzymes which turn them into "electrophiles" - compounds which "love" electrons and which seek them out within the cell nuclei from DNA, which carries the genetic information for all cells, and RNA which transmits information from DNA to the protein-forming system of the cell. In the process of raiding DNA and RNA for electrons, the electrophiles become bound to DNA and cause a change or "mutation" in its genes. The genetic message is disrupted, and the result may be the initiation of an abnormal or cancer cell. Next, a second substance, or "promoter," which may be a hormone, causes the initiated cells to clump or pile up and grow chaotically into a cancerous tumor. The enzymes which help to start all this trouble can vary in different individuals, and even more so between species, thus explaining why humans differ one from another in susceptibility to cancer and, by the same token, differ even more in this respect from other species.
Obviously, if confusing variables increase when the eye of the scientist strays from human material, it behooves him to look to his own kind for some of the answers. Here are some of the techniques which are being developed.
Since experimental cancers cannot be safely initiated in human
beings, investigators have turned to the study of human cells,
tissues and even minute parts of organs which can be kept alive
in the laboratory if nourished by a suitable medium. "In
vitro" studies of animal tissues have also played their part;
indeed in certain circumstances are still valuable, but for the
reasons mentioned above the hope of the future seems to lie more
with the techniques which use human material to understand humans.
One of the breakthroughs occurred with the development of cultures
of human embryonic lung cells by Leonard Hayflick, reported in
1961. (Hayflick, L.,1961). These "WI 38" cells are able
to produce forty generations before dying. However, the cells
are fibroblasts, which differentiate into the connective tissue
of the body (tendons and the like), whereas most cancers are derived
from epithelial cells. Much effort has gone into attempts to culture
epithelial cells from various organs, also to grow and keep alive
for longer periods of time cells which were not merely embryonic
but more differentiated.
Important advances along these lines were discussed at a workshop at the Given Institute of Pathobiology, Aspen, Colorado, in Aug. 1977 sponsored by the Carcinogenesis Program of the National Cancer Institute. (Harris, C., 1978). Some of the reports of the symposium are summarized in the following paragraphs.
The secret of long life for cells in vitro has been found in the addition of specific substances to the culture medium, replacing as much as possible the traditional serum whose large protein content interfered with growth and which was subject to deterioration. Thus the addition of "epidermal growth factor" has tripled the culture life of epithelial keratinocytes from foreskins of newborn infants; cultured human mammary epithelial cells have been maintained with a mixture of hormones (estradiol, progesterone and prolactin), and it is now thought that each epithelial cell type may require a different mixture of hormones.
Significant advances in organ cultures or explants were discussed at the Given Workshop. It was reported:
"Bronchus, pancreatic duct, bladder, uterine cervix, breast, colon, esophagus and aorta can all be cultured from weeks to months with maintenance of normal-appearing epithelium. Chemically defined culture media have been developed for human bronchus, colon and pancreatic duct, which eliminates the biological variability due to serum from studies of carcinogen interactions in these tissues."
A major topic at the Given Workshop was the metabolism of chemical
carcinogens by human cells and tissues. The inter-individual variation
in binding levels of the carcinogenic polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon
BP in liver biopsy specimens varied 30-fold, in cultured human
colon and bronchus 60 to 70-fold. These variations in an individual's
"metabolic profile" may be influenced by genetic factors,
disease states and the environment. Eventually, as Dr. U. Saffioti
suggested at a New York Academy of Sciences meeting in June 1978,
tests on biopsy material from individuals may help identify those
with particular susceptibility to certain carcinogens and warn
them to avoid them (e.g. cigarettes). Similarly, they might enable
an industry manufacturer using a potentially hazardous chemical
to exclude susceptible individuals, identified by an appropriate
test, from the workplace. (Edelson, E.,1978).
In addition to reports on the metabolism and DNA binding of known carcinogenic chemicals by cultures of human bronchus, colon and arteries, successful transformation of normal human cells from the mouth (fibroblasts) and foreskin into cancer cells was described. These last-mentioned experiments are similar to others (not reported at the Given Workshop) in which A.E. Freeman and others (Freeman, A., 1977) described a chemically induced cancer-like change in human skin cultures, and R. Tayler and D.W. Piper (Tayler, R., 1977) reported that cigarette smoke condensate produced a result on the stomach mucosal cells in organ culture typical of malignancy that did not differ from that of the known gastric carcinogen N-methyl-N'-nitro-N- nitrosoguanidine. With this research we are approaching a very significant stage in alternatives to cancer testing in animals: namely, the ability to produce, in the laboratory, cancers in human organs in response to chemical substances known to be mutagenic or carcinogenic.
The knowledge that a substance is "mutagenic " (capable
of producing a heritable change in the genetic material of a cell)
does not have to come from trial and error testing of innumerable
environmental chemicals in delicate cell or organ culture systems.
It is very cheaply and quickly demonstrable (for about $200 and
in 3 days for each assay) by the Ames test, using Salmonella
bacteria which cannot grow because a mutation has made them
unable to manufacture the amino acid histidine, a necessary nutrient.
The potential carcinogen to be tested is exposed to rat or human
liver extract and, just as would happen in the mammalian body,
is converted into metabolites. These metabolites, if they prove
mutagenic, will damage the DNA of the histidine deficient Salmonella
and cause some of them to revert back to their original "wild"
state. Once again able to manufacture histidine, the bacteria
grow into visible colonies whose number provide a quantitative
estimate of the mutagenic potency of the suspected carcinogen.
(McCann, J., 1976).
There are other fast, short-term tests for mutagenicity (under these conditions always related to carcinogenicity) which can be used to screen potential carcinogens and which do not involve animal suffering. A reliable one, known as the Cell Transformation test, uses a culture of neonatal Syrian hamster kidney fibroblasts. Interestingly, the LD/50 is calculated as part of the procedure, but here the "lethal dose" which kills 50% only slaughters cells, not whole animals as in its cruel application in toxicology. (Styles, J.,1977).
Since we live in an age increasingly dependent on chemicals
in innumerable forms to sustain our way of life, and since we
have become wary of them as potential carcinogens, a mandate to
test has been handed by Congress to the federal agencies concerned.
The National Cancer Institute's survey reports 7,000 chemicals
tested by long-term animal bioassay up to 1975, of which from
600 to 1,000 are potential carcinogens. But many of these were
selected for testing because they have a molecular structure similar
to known carcinogens; the number of chemicals actually producing
cancer in animals was estimated to be 221 in an international
survey (1978), and only 26 chemical substances or processes have
been implicated in cancer induction in humans (6 by animal tests
and 20 from epidemiological evidence). What is suspected but not
yet fully explored is the nature of so-called promoting
or potentiating agents which are themselves not carcinogenic
but which contribute to the development of cancer in subjects
who have been exposed to the actual carcinogens. (IRLG,1979, p.12).
Priorities of testing in this vast area must be established, and one method is by selecting compounds whose molecular structure, as mentioned above, resembles that of known carcinogens. (Ibid., p. 67). For instance, the polynuclear aromatic systems, and N-nitroso groups, are arrangements of atoms known to have carcinogenic properties. The more this kind of information can be developed through molecular analysis, the less will empirical screening of thousands of chemicals via animals be necessary - at least in the preliminary identification of potential carcinogens.
Very suggestive data on carcinogens often come from observations
described as "epidemiological." A well-known finding
is that the incidence of cancer of the lung in women has risen
proportionate to the increase in cigarette smoking in that group.
Another is the observation of cancer incidence and mortality difference
in people on a geographical basis -often confirmed by an altered
incidence in such a population after migration. And clinical case
reports may give early warning of a potential carcinogen. (Nat'l.
Cancer Advisory Bd.,1976, p.4).
But the incidence of cancer in workers exposed to chemicals, or toxic reactions, is particularly diagnostic, and should be continually monitored. This monitoring should not be confined to the workplace; it should be continued after workers have retired and, whenever feasible, studied in necropsy material after their death. This would throw light not merely on mortality and the more obvious morbidity, but also on the effects of low-level exposure and on time trends - some cancers, for instance, may not become manifest for several decades. (Anon., 1973).
The problem is how to instigate such studies, which would both spare animals and benefit humans. Industry may well have an ambivalent attitude toward epidemiological investigations. While it should be obvious that such studies are the best way to bring the hazards to workers and to those living near the factory into focus, and to suggest preventive measures, there has been fear that disclosure of toxic effects may lead to damage suits and crippling injunctions. Even the government has indulged in a cover-up of leukemia morbidity from nuclear exposure.
When monitoring has been attempted, it has probably relied on animal toxicity testing, with LD/50, behavioral studies and the like. The trouble with animal testing, aside from the inhumanity, and the difficulty in comparing animals and man, is that animals are subject to variables. For instance, as K.Z. Morgan points out, sensitivity to leukemia induction [from radiation], and life expectation, varies greatly with different kinds of mice. On the other hand, if one attempts to reduce the variables by developing inbred, carefully controlled strains, such animals are even less comparable to the human, who is a "wild or heterogeneous animal living in many types of environment with various eating and drug habits, with many diseases and eccentricities, of various ages and so on." (Morgan, K., 1979).
These variables in humans explain why one man may be vulnerable to cancer and another not, but the epidemiological approach, although it can predict how many per thousand are likely to develop cancer following exposure to certain known carcinogens, cannot readily pick out the individuals who will succumb to the disease. It works by hindsight, but what is also needed are tests that can be applied to individuals to detect early changes in the genetic material - DNA and RNA - of cells.
It has been suggested that a test which does correlate with
threatened cancer is a high chromosome breakage rate. This has
been found in workers exposed to benzene, a carcinogen and a highly
toxic chemical. However, critics of some recent work along these
lines have pointed out that variability, the ghost which haunts
so many predictive tests, is also present here to a degree which
makes the forecast of cancer in any individual very uncertain.
Variables which are said to affect chromosome breakage, according
to Dr. J.R. Venable, director of biochemical research for Dow
Chemical Co., are factors such as "the viruses workers might
have had, medication they might have been using, laboratory test
techniques and even the season of the year." The clincher
for carcinogenicity is, of course, the clinical appearance of
the disease, but the fact that this may not show itself for many
years has so far prevented confirmation, at least in the Dow study,
of the benzene-chromosome breakage-cancer linkage. (Severo, R.,
When a single test is faulted because of variability, lack of controls, or abbreviated follow-up, it simply means that a broader spectrum of tests has to be administered if a "metabolic profile" known to be characteristic of the cancer-prone is to emerge.
One such test has recently been reported by Lars Ehrenburg and his colleagues at the University of Stockholm. It bypasses animal testing and requires merely a small sample of blood from the person exposed to the toxic substance. It has been found that the amino acids in the hemoglobin of the blood, cysteine and histidine, react with vinylchloride and other alkylating agents suspected of inducing cancer, at a rate which can be simply related to that in DNA uptake, so this uptake in turn can be easily calculated. Since hemoglobin cells have an average life of about four months in the blood stream, a sample records exposure over about two months. A report states:
"So far statistics are too few to determine whether the method can predict cancers in people exposed to alkylating agents. But it can pick out those who have accidentally received larger than normal doses. As one of the fundamentals of cancer treatment is to catch the disease early, high hemoglobin alkylation could be a valuable indication that the individual should undergo further observation." (Anon., 1979e).
Another technique which shows increasing promise of being able
to sort out the numerous variables which occur in the metabolic
profile of an individual employs the mass spectrometer. An instrument
that can identify and quantify some 150 components of urine alone
may be extremely useful in "profiling" persons with
different types and stages of cancer and identifying the metabolic
abnormalities characteristic of their disease. Besides urine,
both blood serum and spinal fluid can be analyzed with no harm
to the patient. Epidemiological studies by this method are still
in the future, but may eventually be done on those who work with
toxic materials. This kind of investigation also bypasses animals
completely, and can be performed on humans with no ethical objection.
(Anon., 1978a).
To repeat: more accurate cancer prediction is not achieved by testing a greater variety of animals but by exposing humans to a greater variety of tests. To borrow an analogy from navigation, by taking only one bearing you cannot determine where you are at sea. But if you take bearings on two or more objects, and note where the lines cross, you have your position.

TWO charities have teamed up to organise a fund-raising half marathon around Waltham Forest and are appealing for runners to take part.
Chingford-based young people's charity the KNI Foundation has organised several runs in the borough since it was founded in 2010 but has announced it will be working with Forest YMCA for the event in 2013.
The 13 mile course will pass a variety of landmarks and historic sites in Waltham Forest, including Walthamstow Stadium, the William Morris Gallery in Walthamstow and parts of Epping Forest.
It takes place on Sunday March 31.
The KNI Foundation was founded by Dean Ibrahim in memory of his brother Kenny, who died in a road crash in Thailand in 2009.
Mr Ibrahim said "This is a really innovative collaboration between two local charities - we are pooling our resources to make the most of the event.
"This is a great way for dedicated runners to not only conquer a challenging half marathon road race, but to use their efforts to make a positive social impact in east London.
"We hope this event will bring people together in Waltham Forest to celebrate the diverse mix of cultures and interesting heritage we have here."
Emma Cornish, fundraising officer at Forest YMCA, added: "We are delighted to be the affiliated charity of the Waltham Forest Borough Run.
"In 2013 the event is going to be bigger and better than ever, so we really hope that residents from across the borough will rise to the challenge to support vulnerable young people."
It is the only half-marathon within the M25 before April and organisers say it would be perfect practice for anyone who intends on running the London Marathon later in the year.
Mr Ibrahim added: "Runners can choose to fund-raise for either or both charities.
"Whoever they choose to support, they will be helping vulnerable young people in Waltham Forest, whether it's by providing opportunities for them to participate in recreational activities with the KNI Foundation or providing a home for young homeless people at Forest YMCA."
Visit http://www.kniboroughrun.org.uk/ or call 020 8524 0008 for more information about the run and how to apply.

SULLIVAN, Ind. - A quiet Indiana community known for its parks and corn festival has become the latest setting for the debate over gay rights and bullying after several area residents, including some high schoolers, proposed holding a nonschool-sanctioned "traditional" prom that would ban gay students.
School officials and many residents of Sullivan, a city of about 4,200 near the Illinois border, have scrambled to distance themselves from the controversy caused by the group's plans and from some strong, antigay remarks made by one of its members.
Diana Medley, a group member who is a special-education teacher in another school district, said she believed being gay was a choice people make and that gays had no purpose in life.

Tonight's presentation to Altoona City Council about the state's procedures for distressed municipalities comes as no surprise.
The writing has been on the wall for several years. In fact the only surprise might be that Altoona managed to hold off on seeking relief under the state's distressed municipalities program for as long as it has.
But the day of reckoning is near.
Tonight's presentation will be the first step in what should be a long discussion as to whether Altoona seeks distressed status from the state under the Municipalities Financial Recovery Act of 1987, commonly known as Act 47.
A representative from the state Department of Community and Economic Development will make a presentation to council members at 6 p.m. today in the City Training Facility and Council Chambers, 1320 Washington Ave. The public is invited to attend.
We hope there is a large turnout because this issue is critical to city residents and businesses. It's important that taxpayers become informed about what Act 47 can and can't do.
Act 47 won't be able to solve the underlying factors including a declining population, a stagnating tax base and rising costs that have created the city's financial predicament.
It's expected that Altoona has enough in reserves to cover this year's operational deficit of $1.6 million, but the city's coffers will be virtually empty when the year ends. Next year, Altoona likely will face a $1 million or more deficit.
As we've seen from other municipalities - including Johnstown, Pittsburgh and Harrisburg - Act 47 still leaves municipalities with huge obstacles. But at this point, it's the only option.
It would be great if Altoona could avoid having to become distressed. But City Council is wise in learning more just in case.

Just in time for the holiday season – and the Sept. 24 season premiere of Saturday Night Live hosted by Alec Baldwin – Ben & Jerry's has introduced its newest limited-batch flavor, Schweddy Balls. It's inspired by the classic 1998 SNL sketch in which Pete Schweddy (Baldwin), the fictional owner of Season's Eatings Bakery, brings his Schweddy Balls to the hosts (Ana Gasteyer and Molly Shannon) of "Delicious Dish," a National Public Radio program parody. Watch it again below. The flavor features Fair Trade vanilla ice cream with a hint of rum and loaded with fudge covered rum balls and milk chocolate malt balls.
"For a long time, I thought that 'Here Lies Pete Schweddy' would end up on my tombstone," Baldwin says in a release. "Now, thanks to Ben & Jerry's, the goodness of the Schweddy family recipe won't go with me to the great beyond."
Gasteyer is equally thrilled: "The Schweddy Balls sketch was a personal favorite from my SNL run, so I am pleased as holiday punch that Ben & Jerry's has taken it upon themselves to share the Schweddy Family recipe with the world. As a person and a performer, I am a sucker for holiday balls. And I have no doubt this ice cream will cause many to scream 'Good Times.'"
Is this best limited-batch flavor to date? Or just the best name?

Local Rugby League fans have been urged to dig deep for the thousands of North Queenslanders affected by the recent floods.
A number of volunteer State Emergency Service and Rural Fire workers, clearly recognizable in their orange or blue uniforms will be collecting outside of Suncorp Stadium this Friday night, where appropriately the Broncos will play the North Queensland Cowboys in the traditional National Rugby League "local derby".
Brisbane Broncos CEO, Bruno Cullen said today the Broncos were proud to support this important fundraising initiative.
"We are asking local Rugby League fans attending Friday night's game not to forget their northern counterparts in their hour of need.
"The Cowboys are as much loved and supported in the north as the Broncos are in south-east Queensland, and many of their supporters have been affected one way or another by the recent floods.
"This is our way of saying that we know what you're going through and that in times of need we will help where we can."
Mr Cullen said the floods have had a devastating impact on Queensland, with more than 70% of the state affected. The cost to flood affected communities is enormous and continues to rise.
Current estimates are that damage to public infrastructure at $245 million while more than 3,000 homes have also been damaged. To date, there have been about 800 insurance claims worth $12 million.
The floods have also had a massive impact on primary producers with costs estimated at $60 million.
The sugar industry could lose between $25 and $39 million while the cost of replacing stock is estimated at $6 million.

Masks: the online journal of law and theatre is a new multi-disciplinary, peer-reviewed online journal based at the University of British Columbia Faculty of Law. The journal's focus is on the intersections of law and theatre. Diverse scholarship exists on some of these intersections, including: courtroom as theatre; historical connections between theatre and the Inns of Court; lawyer playwrights; images of lawyers in popular culture; law in literature studies of plays; and legislative theatre. Masks seeks to bring together continuing scholarship in these areas and to provide a forum for discussions of new areas of research. For its first issue, Masks aims to showcase the range of potential scholarship in this field.
Masks will be launched at a Law and Theatre conference in Vancouver, June 17-19, 2008. Authors are encouraged to present papers at the conference and to consider proposing related workshop activities.
Submissions are solicited from all scholars – not only those working in the fields of Law or Theatre. Scholarship from the areas of sociology, psychology, social work, communication studies, literature, business and other fields which focus on the nexus of law and theatre is highly encouraged. As well, Masks encourages the submission of papers by graduate students (including LL.B. students) and plans to include one student paper per issue. Student papers will be included in the peer review process.
Please send your submissions or any questions to email@example.com

The Wilshire Athletic Association will celebrate its past 50 years at an anniversary party Saturday.
The current board members, though, are already looking to the future.
Wilshire president Todd Fairman admitted the idea might be a bit out of reach, but the youth sports organization has some big plans in the initial works.
Wilshire hopes to "buy our own property and build our own facility," Fairman said.
"It's a fabulous idea. We have our eyes set on some property, but right now it's out of our price range. We're trying right now to find the right people – the landowners – to talk to. We hope it's going to happen."
Currently, Wilshire has no home base. It needs to get permits from the Springfield Public School Department to use the gyms and Springfield Parks Department to use soccer fields, as well as baseball and softball diamonds.
Fairman said the schools and city are very helpful, but "with the limited resources the city has, and as big as we're growing, we'd like our own facility where we can do our own things. The vision of this facility keeps growing with our board members. We have this grandiose vision of a complex with soccer fields and baseball fields, and a building with a basketball court and also some classrooms."
Those classrooms are an important part of Wilshire's vision. The organization doesn't want the kids just to play sports.
"We also want the community to get involved and use (the classrooms) to teach children not just about sports, but about nutrition and the importance of staying healthy and staying well," Fairman said. "We could have a weight room.
"These are things the community could rally around. That's the vision we have of this. It's a big task and it will take a lot but we have some dedicated board members who work really hard day in and day out to keep the activities going."
Wilshire has been keeping its program going for 50 years. There will be a celebration Saturday, starting at 5 p.m. at The Cedar's on Island Pond Road in Springfield. Mayor Domenic Sarno, current minor league baseball player Nick Gorneault, and local basketball guru Tony Pettaway will serve as guest speakers.
A golf fund-raiser will also be held Saturday at Springfield's Franconia Golf Course.
Participation is on the rise at Wilshire, which not only serves Springfield, but "Chicopee, West Springfield, Agawam, East Longmeadow and Hampden," Fairman said. "We've had people from Belchertown and softball players from Monson. We get them from all over the city: North End, South End, East Springfield and Forest Park. We take whoever wants to sign up and a place to play."
And recently, a lot of kids have wanted to play for Wilshire, with all of its numbers up from six years ago. There are eight softball teams, 19 baseball teams and 23 basketball teams. There were 13 soccer teams in the spring, and there are nine this fall.
In all, the program houses 750 youth athletes.
"We've grown back up to a staggering number for an organization to support that many kids," said Fairman, who grew up in the Sixteen Acres section of Springfield. "We take any child, boy or girl, as long as they make the age requirement. We put them on the team. We might not field the best team, but we field teams that compete, and we have coaches who can teach the kids and make them better. We feel we have a pretty good group of kids and coaches."

No clowning around: Clown membership in Erie, U.S. declining
Mike Zehner loves entertaining when he's Emerald the Clown.
Just give the Harborcreek Township resident some paint, a mirror and a line of children.
When he colors their faces, and sees those kids smile, the 56-year-old feels rewarded time and time again.
But there are considerably fewer people clowning around like Zehner these days.
Clown membership across America and in Erie is in decline, the culprits of the plunge being waning interest and older clowns aging out of the scene.
Membership at the World Clown Association, the country's largest trade group for clowns, has dropped 30 percent over the past decade, from 3,500 to 2,500, according to a recent report in the New York Daily News.
Erie Clowns, which runs a clowns school at 512 Kelso Drive in Millcreek Township, had about 60 clowns in its peak years in the mid-1980s.
Its roster dipped to 50 a decade ago.
Today, the local group has 35 clowns.
"It makes me really sad," Mardi Garnon, also known as Doodles, said about the decline. The 60-year-old retired nutritionist, of Erie, has been a clown since 2003.
Her husband, David Garnon, 69, a retired state police trooper who goes by the name Mr. Donut, joined the Erie Clowns in November.
"People are working to an older age nowadays and don't have the time for it," she added. "Everyone's too busy, I guess."
The Erie Clowns training school, an eight-week course held once a year that teaches applicants magic, juggling and other clowning skills, averages about eight students.
Graduating classes were more than double that size 30 years ago.
Getting younger people interested in clowning is challenging, said Zehner, the group's president.
"There's just more going on, more activities, more technology, so when they get older they haven't developed an interest in being a clown," said Zehner, a sales and marketing representative for a local manufacturing company.
The group is trying to appeal to the younger set.
Two years ago it lowered its minimum age to attend clown school from 18 to 8.
The maneuver has had some success, Zehner said, but not enough to keep the ranks of local clowns from dropping.
"We're not bringing in enough new blood, and our group is getting older each year," Zehner added. "It's a concern every year. How do we get more people to sign up? I worry our number of clowns is just going to keep going down."
Peter Smith said he thinks clowning can rebound locally, and he's pointing to 2015.
The 67-year-old Millcreek school bus driver -- please refer to him as Silly the Clown when you see him entertaining at area charity walks, school events, parades and birthday parties -- is hoping the Erie Clowns gets a boost in membership after Erie hosts the Clowns of America International weeklong convention.
The event, being held here for the first time, is scheduled for April 2015, and is expected to draw more than 250 clowns to the region.
"There's value in clowning," Smith said. "We're entertainers. Just as good as people on the screen."
Noelle Colpoys, a fifth-grade teacher at Clark Elementary School in Harborcreek, hired a pair of local clowns for the school's Mardi Gras celebration on Friday.
The clowns spent more than an hour making balloon animals, hats and bracelets for about 135 children.
At first, Colpoys said, a majority of students, ages 9 to 12, didn't think the clowns would be cool.
That soon changed.
"They loved it. I think that surprised them," the teacher added. "Clowning is such a great art. When the kids interact with them, it's a unique experience."

The third annual NAPT "America's Best" inspectors and technicians competition held in early August at Blue Bird Corp.'s headquarters was a great event.
I say that not because I placed first in the technician competition, but because the effort that went into the event was tremendous. Technicians and inspectors from across the country competed in events reflecting their talents and abilities. Being selected to represent one's state in a national event such as this is truly a great honor. There were no losers.
For the technician competition, buses were rigged with out-of-service problems that needed to be diagnosed. The competing technicians were divided into groups of three or four, and one group at a time went into the arena. Judges read the problem to the technician just as it would have been reported on a VCR (vehicle condition report) by a driver. The stop watch was set to 15 minutes, and technicians were told to start.
While I was working away — checking components, activating switches, reading wiring and air system schematics and checking circuits — cameras were snapping pictures, video cameras were rolling, people were following your every move, and judges watched intently and recorded results.
No information was given beforehand as to what you could do or could not do, but I found out after a few trials that I was allowed to do about anything I felt necessary, including asking for assistance to operate a switch out of reach.
The pressure was intense. I have never been one to handle extreme pressure outside of the 15 or so projects I usually have going on at any given time during a normal day as shop manager at Park City (Utah) School District.
The first two problems to diagnose were extremely tough, and both came right down to the wire. For the second bus, time was called and I had to drop everything and report my diagnosis and solution to the problem as best I could. It just so happened I was right, although I did not have time to verify my diagnosis.
The third bus I diagnosed was actually the easiest, and I was told after the event I was the only one to get it right. Did I have an edge over the other competitors on this one? Perhaps, perhaps not. It was just a few weeks earlier that I felt the need to review that particular circuit schematic. It just so happened that what I reviewed helped me pull it off.
This is what it means to be a successful technician. Anticipating the problems before they appear takes a lot of careful scrutiny of all components one deals with. It is not an easy task to perform. All of the technicians that represented various states across the nation are just a handful of many extremely knowledgeable individuals doing the same job, day in and day out, that I do. You are all winners in my book. Keep up the good work.
Fourteen states were represented at the annual America's Best competition — Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Utah and Washington.
Joey Ballentine of Converse School Bus Shop in Spartanburg, S.C., took home the title of America's Best inspector, while Brad Barker of Park City (Utah) School District claimed first place in the technician division. Both first-place winners received $1,500 each from Zonar Systems and Bus Parts Warehouse, sponsors of the competition.
Second- and third-place honors in the inspection category went to Esteban Rivera of Orange County (Fla.) Public Schools and Ricky Jennings of Wilkes County Schools in Wilkesboro, N.C., respectively. The second- and third-place winners of the technician award were Robert Fordham of Bleckley County (Ga.) Schools and John Sedensky Jr. of James A. Garfield Local Schools in Garrettsville, Ohio, respectively.
Information on how to compete in the 2007 America's Best competition will be posted soon on the NAPT website at www.napt.org.

The group, which is behind this Sunday's Golden Globe Awards, announced Thursday that it is assisting in the rescue and relief effort now taking place in Haiti, which was devastated Tuesday by a 7.0 earthquake.
In its statement, the organization said, "The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is announcing at the Golden Globes that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association Foundation is donating $100,000 to Wyclef Jean's Yele Haiti relief fund for the victims of the Haiti earthquake."
Also supporting the nation hit by disaster are Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, whose foundation on Wednesday committed $1 million in relief.

In response to the massive earthquake that stuck Haiti on Tuesday, Wyclef Jean has called upon the international community to give immediate assistance to the island nation.
"The over 2 million people in Port-au-Prince tonight face catastrophe alone," said Jean, 40. "We must act now." He noted that people can help by donating to his Yele Haiti Foundation, either by texting "Yele" to 501501, which will automatically donate $5, or by going to the foundation's Web site.
Also supporting the nation hit by disaster are Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. The couple issued a statement to JustJared.com Wednesday. "We are devastated by the news from Haiti. We will work closely with our good friend Wyclef Jean to support the humanitarian efforts on the island and help those who have been injured and left without homes and shelter."

Says will.i.am: "We can be the generation that ends poverty."
Matt Damon, Wyclef Jean Hand Out Food in Haiti
Originally posted 09/14/2008 12:00PM
Matt Damon took a trip the Caribbean this weekend, but not to shoot a movie or relax. He went to Haiti with buddy Wyclef Jean to deliver food to hurricane victims.
Damon and Jean gave out bags of rice and beans and cans of cooking oil to hundreds of Haitians near the town of Cabaret on Saturday. At one point, the truck they were in got stuck in a ditch, so they handed out the food on the roadside.
The Haitian-born Jean, who founded his own Yele Haiti charity, was the star of the day – hardly anybody in the crowd recognized Damon, but he was fine with that. "It's nice, it's really easy to move through a crowd like this," Damon told an Associated Press reporter who accompanied them.
Wyclef Jean Launches Partnership to Help Haiti
Originally posted 05/20/2008 06:30PM
When Wyclef Jean announced the launch of Together for Haiti, a new partnership formed in response to the food crisis in his native country, he had a special guest in the crowd.
"I thought Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were big, but I gotta say Paul Simon topped that," says Jean. "People talk like they're gangsters, but Paul Simon was actually in Africa when grenades went off on stage."
Simon, in a blazer and hat, appeared at the news conference in New York City, where Jean announced that his own foundation, Yele Haiti, is partnering with the World Food Programme and the Pan American Development Foundation to help provide food, create jobs and support local agriculture in Haiti.
Simon shook hands with Jean and the two chatted as a crowd formed around them. "We talk; he'll tell you I'm a personal friend of his," says Jean, who collaborated with Simon on his latest album. "Paul will show up for a cause; he ain't gonna show up for a music video!"
Also among the crowd: Dr. Jeffrey Sachs, author of End of Povery, model Petra Nemcova, and Jean's pastor.
"If I decide to run for president, don't do me wrong. I will denounce everything!" Jean joked with his pastor.

Oh my goodness! Mezcal?! That is some very serious stuff, lol! My husband is Mexican and his father has lots of bottles of homemade mezcal in their pantry. It could strip the black off of asphalt! Lol! He has given me a tiny little bit of it before, but I couldn't drink it :-/ My father-in-law thought it was very funny. We have a small bottle of it that a friend brought back from Mexico for us. It has a very cute picture of a cartoon worm waving at us on the label. We've only drunk it around Thanksgiving or Christmas time and even then only a little bit. I'm too afraid to drink more because whoever gets the last shot has to eat the tiny worm at the bottom…bleh :( Maangchi, you are my hero and never cease to amaze me!
Wow,great stuff. These colors are to die for.
Not to mention,Chorizo,Yum~
Awh.. I love going to other countries and buying things. You can always find the neatest things and bargains. Especially when you live in the US (even though I've actually been living in the Philippines for almost a year now as part of my travels but I'll be going back home soon)so it's either that you can't find those sort of things there or they'll sell them at expensive prices. Hope it was a lovely stay, I have never been there but maybe some day.
Yeah, I pick something cheap but very local stuff. Today I am going to work on my all beautiful photos that I took in Mexico to share with my readers. You will love it!
Wow! I love ur green bowl! Very sophisticated! I would love to put some food in it :P btw did u punched a hole in ur cheese or it comes in that way?
Wow Maangchi sounds so exciting! haha ps does anyone know how to like have a default profile picture?
Hola!I hope you liked my country, Maangchi! <3
Eggs with chorizo are delicious for breakfast, you should try it :)
Did you learn some spanish words? jeje
My family, friends and I, really like korean food, we love your recipes :DDDDD
I'm sorry if my english is wrong :(
Hola! you know these days I have habit saying "hola"instead of "hi". lol
I miss your country Mexico a lot. I'm going to blog about the food and people soon. Your English is perfect. Who cares about English. We can talk through body language. : )
Everything that you brought home looks exciting colorful and fantastic! The food and drink probably disappeared by now. ;)
"The food and drink probably disappeared by now. ;)" no, not yet. I haven't touched the sausage and cheese yet.
Hi Maangchi,
I am a big, big fan of yours! I'm so excited that you went to Oaxaca! (I am American but my husband is from Oaxaca. I've been there several times to visit his family.) Did you try chapulines (grasshoppers) or mole? What about the nieves and tlayudas? Maybe you can make your own kimchi/quesillo tlayuda! Did you try any of the sandwiches made with quesillo? They put mashed beans, pickled jalapeno, shredded quesillo and avocado on a Mexican roll (telera). I thought beans on a sandwich was kind of unusual but it was really delicious.
When I went I bought almost the same things you did except I also bought rebozos (the cotton and silk wraps) and prepared paste for making mole negro. Also, my husband's family is from a really remote indigenous village in the highlands where they grow coffee. I usually bring back some of their coffee beans and homemade chili paste. (They smoke chilis over the fire they use to cook tortillas and grind it with salt. It's delicious- you would probably love it!)
Ok, that's enough… maybe I talked too much about Mexico!
I really miss Mexico now. " my husband's family is from a really remote indigenous village in the highlands where they grow coffee" great! I would like to visit the village someday. : ) I have so many good photos that I took in Mexico. I am going to post them soon on my blog.
I've really been enjoying your photos Maangchi! (Your captions are so funny.) The village is really beautiful- I'll be your tour guide any day!
Maangchi Onni,how come your mortar and pestle got confiscated at the airport?It looks so awesome too and well made..Just curious so I can have an Idea what not to buy in case we go and travel Mexico too.Thnx!
Dear Ina, how are u!!
They only took my pestle because it could be used as weapon. : )
Hi!Onni,I'm good..thank you for sharing your photos.:-))
Let's hope the dress finds its way back to the rightful owner. Keeping my fingers crossed!
Thank you for your good wish about the dress. But even if the dress didn't come back to me, I wouldn't be disappointed. The dress fulfilled its mission well. I wore the dress only once for my video. You will see the dress in one of my upcoming videos.
I like the coconut shell bowls, the other bowls are very bright and colorful , very FIESTA ! Lol ..
Seems like you're having so much fun over there . You didn't buy any Tequila with the worm in the bottom of the bottle ? LOL
" Tequila with the worm in the bottom of the bottle " haha!
I had never heard about the worm before going to Mexico. I saw a worm in the bottom of the mezcal bottle. The mezcal seller said it's cheaper than the one that I bought which has no worm. The mezcal with worm is 1 or 2 years old and the one I bought is 10 years old which is much more expensive than the other one. He gave us sample of all mezcal he had. This one tasted the best. I believed what he said, so I bought the bottle without a worm. : )
너무 너무 멋지세요!!
멕시코 여행 잘 다녀오신건가요?
이곳을 위해서 영어공부를 열심히 해야겠어요.요리에 관심이 많은데 한국에 사는 저보다 더 잘하세요~~
I am from Korea.
I am merried woman and housewife.I have two sons.They are very nice.
Actually I am interested in cooking. I think Korean food is very healthy food.I am really happy to see your place. My English skill is poor. Thank you Maangchi.
Thank you very much! Welcome to my website. Your English is fantastic!
Pity abt the traditional dress : ( It is not the price that determines the value of the item always. I wish I could see the dress….. now i am upset!
" It is not the price that determines the value of the item always." I feel the same way! that's very true.
Actually I called the beach hotel from Mexico city. I paid long distance call. : ) I asked a hotel receptionist, if she finds the dress in the room where I stayed, to give the dress to my new friend Ms. Sky who will come back to her house in NY soon But I'm not sure if it works or not. If Sky brings my dress, it will be awesome. The dress costs only $15.00!
All of these things look wonderful! The coconut shell bowls are simply incredible — I'm jealous!
Let us know how that spinach chorizo turns out — it looks very exotic!
Out of curiosity, when you cook with ingredients that you've brought back from other countries, do you cook them Korean-style, or do you recreate the flavors that you experienced in the country itself? Or a mix?
ok, Lanie, I will let you know the taste of the green chorizo. I haven't tasted it yet.
"you've brought back from other countries, do you cook them Korean-style, or do you recreate the flavors that you experienced in the country itself? Or a mix?"
I would like to enjoy their authentic cooking. But I found the Oaxan cheese is so good and it can be torn just like threads. One day during my trip, I put the cheese threads on top of kimchi-stir fried rice and it turned out great.
Thanks for the response!!
That is interesting that the Oaxan cheese is great on kimchi fried rice! I would never have thought to put cheese on that, but maybe one day I will experiment a bit :)
Last night I tasted the green chorizo. It tasted a little like pork and lard. The vivid green color must be coming from food coloring.. It was good. The texture was like chewing fried mozzarella cheese and when I cooked it, lots of fat came out. Tasty and a little salty.
I want to give you one bite. Open your mouth, Lanie! lol
I love all yr shopping! YES YES YES! I would find it very very hard to resist them all!!!!!!!
actually I bought their traditional dress but I left it at my hotel room! Cheap stuff but very precious to me. : )
Great Buys! I love Oaxaca ceramics. I love the green color. I just want to let you know that not all of the pottery is food safe. That gorgeous green color is traditionally accomplished by using lead monoxide glaze, which is toxic. Please be careful! You can check out more information about the pottery here if you are interested. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_glazed_pottery_of_Atzompa
ok, thank you for your advice and the link.
What great stuff – it is all so amazingly colorful. I would love to go to Mexico. Thanks for sharing these photos. I notice you got through a decent amount of the mezcal – well done :) I would too!
lol, decent amount of the mezcal is gone? haha! It's 10 year aged mezcal which is very precious. So I shared it with almost all of my new friends that I made in Mexico. I know you love to go to Mexico. Thank you for the nice comment!
Is there a worm in the mezcal?

Whether conducted at a laboratory bench or in clinical trials, medical research has long been driven by a single overriding goal — the need to find a cure. Usually referred to more modestly as a search for "the most effective treatment," this standard has served as both a barometer of success and a major criterion for funding. Most published studies are marked by a preponderance of data documenting even minor blips in laboratory values or changes in the size of a spot of cancer or area of heart muscle damage on specialized X-rays. Some studies bolster the apparent success of their results with additional data on societal effects like treatment costs or numbers of workdays missed.
Few studies, however, focus on the patient experience.

ST. PAUL, Minn. - Charlie Coyle scored his third goal of the series for Minnesota, and the Wild dominated the Colorado Avalanche for the second straight game on their way to a 2-1 win Thursday night that evened the first-round matchup at two apiece.
"We should feel good about tonight," said Wild coach Mike Yeo. "We're 2-2 in the series. So to be in the situation after being down 2-0, that's obviously a really good thing, but at the same time, we need to make sure we continue to have that focus."
The Wild outshot the Avalanche a stunning 32-12, establishing a franchise record for fewest allowed by Minnesota. Colorado had just three shots in the first, four in the second and five shots in the third.
"The good part for me is that our habits, our structure, our game is so consistent from game to game to game," Yeo said. "As long as we fall back on that, we should be able to (play like we did on Thursday)."
Colorado has been outshot 78-34 in the last two games.
"Before the game, you tell the guys that you can't assume it's going to start the way it finished last time. You have to make that happen and you do that with the little things," Yeo said.
Despite the lockdown defense, the Avalanche had a flurry of opportunities at the end of the game. Several Wild players, including the hero in Game 3, Mikael Granlund, managed to block shots before they reached Wild goalie Darcy Kuemper.
It's a stressful finish that Yeo believes will help his team.
"We want to get better as the playoffs go along," Yeo said. "When you play in games like that, you get used to playing in moments like that. When the game is on the line, you have to execute or make a play or defend, whatever the situation calls for, and you have to do it when the stakes are that high."
Ryan O'Reilly scored the only goal for the Avalanche in the second period. The goal came just 30 seconds after Coyle's goal gave the Wild a 2-0 lead.
The Wild got on the board at 3:47 in the first period. Jared Spurgeon used a slap shot to get a puck past Colorado's Semyon Varlamov. The Wild scored much quicker than the 65:08 the Wild needed to score in Game 3.
Avalanche coach Patrick Roy said that his team is not executing well at this point in the series, but that doesn't mean he's not confident moving forward.
"When you have the type of performance from our goaltender, there's no reason not to believe," he said.
The Minnesota Wild were perfect again on the penalty kill. The Avalanche failed to score in three power play chances. It's something Yeo said he would like to see continue when the series returns to Denver on Saturday night.

Use an expression. Select your Execute SQL Task and click the ... button by

of the grid, drop down the list and select the SqlStatementSource (or
whatever it's called--I'm doing this off the top of my head) property. The

dialog. In the text box at the bottom, type (exactly as shown):
Now expand the tree in the upper left and find your variable name. Drag it
into the box after the + sign. The box should now contain the following
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM [" + @[User::strTableName]
Add text to the end so that the box contains this:
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM [" + @[User::strTableName] + "]"
Then click OK however many times you need to. Boom! You're done. (For
reference, you could have simply typed the text exactly as I did, but it's
nice to know how the UI elements work.)
Did you notice how I added [ ] around the table name? ALWAYS a good idea
when dealing with variable text.
One final piece of advice: drop the Hungarian notation from your variable
names. Call it TableName, not strTableName. And this is coming from a VB6
guy. I've abused Hungarian for years. In the .NET world, its time is

LSU's Robert Reich School of Landscape Architecture undergraduate and graduate programs shine on the national stage because of dedicated faculty, eager students wanting to do great work and proud alumni, according to the program's director. And that winning trifecta can be replicated in other programs at the university, LSU President F. King Alexander said Monday.
The November/December 2013 issue of America's Best Architecture & Design Schools magazine ranked the undergraduate program second and the graduate program third in the nation for 2014.
A huge part of the landscape architecture school's success, King said, is its consistent faculty and its solid networking relationships between students and faculty.
Bradley Cantrell, a professor and director of the Robert Reich School, said he believes that the landscape architecture school's success can be translated to other parts of the LSU system -- to a degree.
Cantrell said having students, faculty and alumni in place makes a huge difference. "I don't have to go out and struggle to get alumni to support us for our endeavors," he said. "They want to help. They ask to help. I don't have to motivate students to do great work. They want to do it and (the) faculty are the same way."
Cantrell said having a range of people dedicated to the school makes the Robert Reich School amazing. "It's a culture built here in the design studios, and students feel very attached to their classmates and faculty that teach them," he said.
Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Stuart Bell said he thinks there are a lot of similarities in what the landscape architecture school does and what many other programs are doing. "Some of the similarities, the heart of any institution, is having a great faculty and students," Bell said. "I think the model .. is have great faculty, recruit students and put those together in an environment that fosters high expectations and great achievement."
Elizabeth Mossop, who was recruited from Harvard University to become director of the Robert Reich School in 2003, said the school has kept its traditions but decided to bring in new blood and update its curriculum.
Mossop, the former director and now a professor at the school, said with support from university administration, the school was able to hire several young professors. That, combined with a growing alumni base, has brought more diversity to the school's program, she said.
What drew Mossop away from Harvard were Louisiana's landscape and the challenge to improve the Robert Reich School.
Mossop said some strategies, such as being involved in community-based projects and having faculty engaged outside the university, are ways other LSU programs can replicate what the landscape architecture school has done.
"I think these strategies are transferable," she said. Mossop said recruiting -- and challenging -- young faculty members from around the country and around the world is key to the school's success.
The Robert Reich School of Landscape Architecture undergraduate and graduate programs have been ranked in the top five such programs in the nation for the past decade, competing with schools such as Harvard, Cornell and the University of Pennsylvania.
"I think that with the past success of our alumni, we've been able to transition into pushing our work in southern Louisiana out in a much larger context," Cantrell said. "Much of it is research work, the ecological system of Louisiana, the way the landscape is changing in southern Louisiana -- in a sense, we are exporting as a methodology for thinking about landscape across the world."

Explore the world of beer through our stories and blogs
Join the conversation
In Africa and Latin America, illegal alcohol makes up a significant proportion of the total alcohol market. We know that lowering the price of beer can attract customers away from illicit alcohol products. We know that reducing the price of beer can attract customers away from illicit alcohol products. In Africa, affordable beers like Uganda's sorghum beer, Eagle, also create a new income stream for previously subsistence farmers as well as revenues for governments.
How can we use informed, targeted and collaborative actions with governments and other stakeholders to reduce illicit alcohol and build a sociable world where our beers are developed, marketed, sold, and consumed with high regard for individual and community well-being?
