Slide 1
Cancer - Different Fates
One man who drinks alcohol and smokes cigarettes lives to age 90 without getting liver or lung cancer; another man who smokes and drinks the same amount gets cancer at age 60.
One woman's breast cancer responds to chemotherapy, and her tumor shrinks; another woman's breast cancer shows no change after the same treatment.
How can these differences be explained?
Slide 2
Cancer - A Complex Disease
Cancer is a complex disease, like diabetes, heart disease, and kidney disease. All complex diseases arise from combinations of changes that occur in the same cell over a period of time. In cancer, these changes accumulate over many years. Only when a critical number of changes occur in the same cell does it finally become cancerous.
To complicate matters further, there are many different types of cancer, each displaying different combinations of changes. Even within a single type, such as lung cancer or colon cancer, clinicians can identify subtypes, each marked by a unique set of changes.
How can researchers hope to identify and study all the changes that occur in so many different cancers?
How can they explain why some people respond to treatment and not others?
How can they explain why some smokers get lung cancer, and others do not?
How can these differences be explained?
Slide 3
SNPS May Be the Solution
Scientists think that tiny variations in the human genome called Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms, or SNPs (snips) for short, can help them to answer these questions. They believe SNPs can help them catalogue the unique sets of changes involved in different cancers. They see SNPs as a potential tool to improve cancer diagnosis and treatment planning. They suspect that SNPs may play a role in the different responses to treatments seen among cancer patients. And they think that SNPs may also be involved in the different levels of individual cancer risk observed.So what exactly are SNPs? How are they involved in so many different aspects of health? To answer these questions, one first needs to look at the human genome.
Slide 4
What Is the Human Genome?
The human genome is the complete set of instructions for life as we know it. Except for red blood cells, which have no nucleus, the human genome is located in the nucleus of every cell in the body. There it is organized into 22 pairs of very large molecules called chromosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes.
Slide 5
DNA and Chromosome Structure
Chromosomes are made of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).DNA contains only four chemical bases or building blocks: Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine - called A, T, G, and C, for short. There are roughly 3.2 billion chemical bases (A, T, C, G) in the human genome. Each DNA molecule is made up of two long complementary (related) strands, which are intertwined like a rope. This is the famous "double helix." Since A always pairs with T, and C with G, the order on one strand dictates the order on the other. This is called base pairing and enables the genome to make copies of itself.
Slide 6
The Genome Contains Genes
Only about 3 percent of the human genome is actually used as the set of instructions. These regions are called coding regions, and they are scattered throughout the chromosomes.A coding region contains genes. A gene is a unique DNA sequence within a chromosome that ultimately directs the building of a specific protein with a specific function. Close to each gene is a "regulatory" sequence of DNA, which is able to turn the gene "on" or "off." There are at least 35,000 genes in the human genome, and there may be more. Scientists can find no function for most of the remaining 97 percent of the genome - yet! These regions are called noncoding regions.
Slide 7
Variation in the Human Genome
An amazing aspect of the human genome is that there is so little variation in the DNA sequence when the genome of one person is compared to that of another. Of the 3.2 billion bases, roughly 99.9 percent are the same between any two people. It is the variation in the remaining tiny fraction of the genome, 0.1 percent--roughly several million bases--that makes a person unique. This small amount of variation determines attributes such as how a person looks, or the diseases he or she develops.
Slide 8
What Is Variation in the Genome?
Variation occurs whenever the order of the bases in a DNA sequence changes. Variations can involve only one base or many bases. If the two strands of a chromosome are thought of as nucleotides threaded on a string, then, for example, a string can break and the order of the beads can vary. One or more nucleotides may be changed, added, or removed. In chromosomes, these changes are called polymorphisms, insertions, and deletions.
In addition to these changes, some DNA sequences called "repeats" like to insert extra copies of themselves several times. Chromosomes can also undergo more dramatic changes called translocations. These occur when an entire section of DNA on one chromosome switches places with a section on another.
Not all variations in the genome's DNA sequences have an effect. Among the variations that do cause effects, some are more serious than others. The outcome depends on two factors: where in the genome the change occurs, (i.e., in a noncoding region, coding, or regulatory region) and the exact nature of the change.
Slide 9
Variations Causing No Changes
Most variations in the human genome have no known effect at all because they occur in noncoding regions of the DNA. In addition, there are some changes that do occur in coding and regulatory regions, yet they have no known effect. All these are silent variations.
Slide 10
Variations Causing Harmless Changes
Some of the variations that occur in the coding and regulatory regions of genes have "harmless" effects. They can, for example, change the way a person "looks." Some people have blue eyes, others brown; some are tall, others short; and some faces are oval, others round.
Other variations in coding regions are harmless because they occur in regions of a gene that do not affect the function of the protein made.
Slide 11
Variations Causing Harmful Changes
There are a group of variations in coding and regulatory regions that result in harmful effects. These are called mutations. They cause disease because changes in the genome's instructions alter the functions of important proteins that are needed for health. For example, diabetes, cancer, heart disease, Huntington's disease, and hemophilia all result from variations that cause harmful effects.
In a "simple" disease such as hemophilia, variation in one gene is sufficient to cause disease symptoms. By contrast, in a "complex" disease like cancer, symptoms are seen only after many variations have occurred in different genes in the same cell.
Slide 12
Variations Causing Latent Changes
Finally, there are genetic variations that have "latent" effects. These variations, found in coding and regulatory regions, are not harmful on their own, and the change in each gene only becomes apparent under certain conditions. Such changes may eventually cause some people to be at higher risk for cancer, but only after exposure to certain environmental agents. They may also explain why one person responds to a drug treatment while another does not.
Here is part of the genome from two people who are both smokers and drinkers, but only one of them gets cancer. The zoom into the chromosomes of these two men shows just a sampling of the differences in variation that are responsible for their individual cancer risk. The variations themselves do not cause cancer. They only affect each person's susceptibility to tobacco smoke and alcohol after exposure.
Slide 13
SNPS Are the Most Common Type of Variation
The most common type of genetic variation is called a Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP).
A SNP is defined as a single base change in a DNA sequence that occurs in a significant proportion (more than 1 percent) of a large population. The single base is replaced by any of the other three bases. Here is an example: in the DNA sequence TAGC, a SNP occurs when the G base changes to a C, and the sequence becomes TACC.
Slide 14
Why Are SNPs Significant?
SNPs are scattered throughout the genome and are found in both coding AND noncoding regions. SNPs can cause silent, harmless, harmful, or latent effects. They occur with a very high frequency, with estimates ranging from about 1 in 1000 bases to 1 in 100 to 300 bases. This means that there could be millions of SNPs in each human genome. The abundance of SNPs and the ease with which they can be measured make these genetic variations significant.
Most SNPs occur in noncoding regions and do not alter genes. Scientists are finding that some of these SNPs have a useful function. If a SNP is frequently found close to a particular gene, it acts as a marker for that gene.
The remaining SNPs occur in coding regions. They could alter the protein made by that coding region, which in turn could influence a person's health. To understand how a SNP could do this requires a brief look at proteins and their building blocks, amino acids.
Slide 15
Amino Acids
Humans use 20 different amino acids as building blocks to make the thousands of proteins found within the body. Each amino acid has the same basic structure with a central carbon atom that has four groups attached. Three of the groups are the same in every amino acid: one is a single hydrogen, one is an amino group that acts like a hook, and one is a carboxyl group that acts like an eye. The fourth group is a side chain, which is unique for every amino acid.
Slide 16
Amino Acid Side Chains Water-Loving
Humans use 20 different amino acids as building blocks to make the thousands of proteins found within the body. Each amino acid has the same basic structure with a central carbon atom that has four groups attached. Three of the groups are the same in every amino acid: one is a single hydrogen, one is an amino group that acts like a hook, and one is a carboxyl group that acts like an eye. The fourth group is a side chain, which is unique for every amino acid.
Each side chain has a unique size and shape: some side chains are round and bulky, some are short and skinny, and some are longer than others.
Unlike the carboxyl and amino groups, which always like a watery environment, side chains vary in their chemical properties.
--Some side chains have a charge, and that makes them prefer to be in water.
Slide 17
Amino Acid Side Chains Oil-Loving
--Other side groups have no charge, and that makes them prefer an oily environment. It also prompts them to huddle close together.
Slide 18
Amino Acid Side Chains Ambivalent
--And some side chains are downright indecisive. They usually prefer a watery environment, but tend to adjust themselves to oily ones as well.
Slide 19
When two amino acids are lined up end-to-end, and the hooks and eyes are allowed to react together, a peptide bond forms. As more amino acids attach, a chain begins to form that has a strong but flexible backbone with side chains sticking out at regular intervals. This is protein-building in progress.
But how does the cell do this?
How does a sequence of DNA bases turn into a chain of amino acids and form a protein?
Slide 20
Genes to Proteins I
To turn a gene's DNA sequence of bases into a protein's sequence of amino acids requires an intermediary molecule called mRNA.
Base pairing is used to create mRNA from one of the DNA strands. Every T in the DNA strand pairs with an A in the mRNA strand, and Cs and Gs in the DNA pair with Gs and Cs in the mRNA. However, if there is an A in the DNA sequence, it pairs with a new base called Uracil (U) in the mRNA strand. Thus, if the DNA sequence is TACGCAATATGCATT, the mRNA sequence becomes AUGCGUUAUACGUAA.
Slide 21
Genes to Proteins II
The sequence of the bases of an mRNA (A, U, G, C) directly spells out the sequence of amino acids in the protein.Every three bases in the mRNA sequence codes for a single amino acid and is called a "codon." There are 64 different ways to arrange the four bases in mRNA, e.g., UCA, UCG, AAA, and AGC, and yet there are only 20 different amino acids. This means that one amino acid can have more than one codon. For example, valine has four codons (GUU, GUC, GUA, and GUG), while histidine only has two (CAU and CAC). The mRNA code also has one "start" and three "stop" signals. The codon AUG codes for an amino acid called methionine that always signals the start of protein building. Three other codons--UAG, UGA, and UAA--do not code for any amino acid. Instead, they always signal the mRNA to stop protein building.
Slide 22
Genes to Proteins III
Proteins are built within a cell structure called a ribosome - a protein factory. First the mRNA attaches itself to the ribosome. Then specific adapter molecules, called transfer RNAs (tRNAs), match themselves to their appropriate codons. Each codon has a corresponding tRNA that carries a specific amino acid at one end.Here is the beginning of a new protein. The first tRNA carrying methionine matched itself to the first codon. Then a second tRNA carrying arginine matched itself with the second codon. A chemical reaction joined one free end (the hook) of the methionine molecule to a free end (the eye) of the arginine molecule, and methionine's tRNA was released. Now a third tRNA carrying tyrosine has matched the third codon, and a chemical reaction has joined the free end of the arginine to tyrosine, and arginine's tRNA has been released. The protein now has three amino acids joined together. This process will continue until a "stop" codon is reached.
Slide 23
Protein Folding and Function
As the amino acid chain grows, it folds into a three-dimensional (3-D) structure, which depends on both the chemical nature and order of the different amino acids. The 3-D structure determines the function of the protein. When there is a change in one or more amino acids, then the ability of the protein to function may be affected. The protein's function may be unchanged or it may become sluggish, hyperactive, or inactive.
Slide 24
SNPs in Coding Regions No Changes in Protein
When a SNP occurs within a coding region, it is possible that there is no effect. For example, when the DNA sequence GAC becomes GAG, the codon in the mRNA changes from CUG to CUC. Since both codons stand for the same amino acid leucine, there is no change in the protein. The change in the DNA is called a silent change.
Slide 25
SNPs in Coding Regions - Subtle, Harmless Changes in Protein
There are also SNPs within coding regions that lead to very subtle changes in proteins. For example, if a SNP causes the codon GAU to change to GAG, the amino acid changes from aspartic acid to glutamic acid. These amino acids have very similar chemical properties, but glutamic acid is just a little bigger. If the SNP causes a change in a part of the protein that is not important to its function, the result may be very subtle or totally harmless. The cell continues to function normally.
Slide 26
SNPs in Coding Regions - Harmful Changes in Protein - Mutations
In another codon, the sequence GUA becomes GUU, and the amino acid called aspartic acid changes to valine in the protein. These two amino acids have very different chemical properties. The substitution of one for the other may, or may not, severely alter how the protein folds and functions, depending on where the change occurs in the protein. When the change in the protein does lead to disease symptoms in the patient, the SNP is harmful and is called a mutation.An example of a SNP causing disease is found in sickle cell anemia. The change in one nucleotide base in the coding region for the hemoglobin beta gene causes the amino acid glutamic acid to be replaced by valine. As a result, the hemoglobin molecule can no longer carry oxygen as efficiently because the structure of the protein is changed dramatically.
Slide 27
SNPs in Coding Regions - Subtle Changes in Proteins That Only Switch on Under Certain Conditions
SNPs may cause subtle changes in a group of genes that under normal conditions are latent, i.e., they are switched "off." But when a person is exposed to precarcinogens or carcinogens, they can be switched "on."Since the proteins from these genes regulate how fast or how slowly the harmful agents are absorbed, bound, metabolized, and excreted from the body, even a small or subtle change in any one of them may alter a person's risk for cancer. *It is important to remember that the SNP itself does no harm under normal circumstances. Only when a person is exposed to an environmental agent that is carcinogenic, does the SNP exert an influence.
Slide 28
Smoking and Susceptibility to Lung Cancer
When a person smokes cigarettes, precarcinogens in the form of tobacco smoke enter a person's lungs and lodge in the fat-soluble area of the cells. They become bound to proteins that convert the precarcinogens into carcinogens. These reactive molecules are quickly handed over to detoxifying proteins that make the carcinogens water-soluble and allow the body to eliminate them into the urine, before they can damage the cell.
Slide 29
Smoking and Susceptibility to Lung Cancer - SNPs in Carcinogen-Making Proteins
Because of SNPs, a person's genome may express a very active carcinogen-making protein, or a sluggish one, or something in between.A protein with a very active binding site can "grab" more precarcinogen than usual. Or the protein may convert the precarcinogen to the carcinogen at a faster rate. In both cases, more carcinogen molecules pile up in the lungs, causing damage to the cells' DNA, which can lead to cancer. On the other hand, if the SNPs result in a slow carcinogen-making protein, the lung is exposed to fewer DNA-damaging carcinogens, and the chance of cancer is reduced. But until the body is exposed to cigarette smoke, no effect is seen.
Slide 30
Smoking and Susceptibility to Lung Cancer - SNPs in Detoxifying Proteins
SNPs may also influence detoxifying enzymes that prepare carcinogens for elimination from the human body. SNPs that result in very active forms of detoxifying enzymes will remove the carcinogens quickly from the body, allowing less time for damage.SNPs that produce sluggish detoxifying enzymes will permit carcinogens to remain in the body for a longer time.
Slide 31
Arylamines and Bladder Cancer
Some workers in the dye industry, after occupational exposure to arylamines, develop an increased risk of bladder cancer. Scientists suspect that SNPs may be involved.In the liver, arylamines can have two fates, because there are two enzymes available to act on them. An acetylator enzyme can deactivate arylamines, converting them into nonreactive compounds that are safely removed from the body. Or arylamines can be activated by a deaminator enzyme in the liver to become precarcinogens that are carried to the bladder. There they are converted into carcinogens.
Slide 32
SNPs and Bladder Cancer Risk
SNPs are responsible for the existence of several different slow forms of the acetylator enzyme. In individuals with a slow acetylator, the arylamines remain in the liver for a longer time, and more of them are converted to precarcinogens rather than nonreactive compounds. Thus, individuals with slow acetylators may be at increased risk for bladder cancer because they are exposed to more carcinogens in the bladder.
Slide 33
Not the Whole Story
But SNPs are not always the entire story. Even among persons with slow acetylators who are exposed to arylamines, not everyone is at increased risk for bladder cancer. Research studies show that half the population in the United States have slow acetylators, and yet far fewer people, about one in 500, get bladder cancer. So having a "slow acetylator" does not automatically mean that you will get bladder cancer after arylamine exposure. Some other genes and their proteins must also be involved in affecting a person's risk for the disease. Researchers have yet to discover the full set of "risk" genes involved.
Slide 34
SNPs and Drug Interactions
SNPs may also explain why some patients respond well to a specific drug treatment, while others have minimal or no response. SNPS may also be involved when patients have different side effects in response to the same drug.
Many proteins interact with the drug - involved in its transportation throughout the body, absorption into tissues, metabolism into more active forms or toxic by-products, and excretion. If a patient has SNPs in any one or more of these proteins, they may alter the time the body is exposed to active forms of the drug or any of its toxic byproducts.
Slide 35
SNPs in Noncoding Regions - Markers for Genes
SNPs are very common variations scattered throughout the genome. Because they are fairly easy to measure and are also remarkably stable, being inherited from generation to generation, they have become useful as gene "markers." If a particular SNP is located near a gene, then every time that gene is passed from parent to child, the SNP is passed on also. This enables researchers to assume that when they find the same SNP in a group of individual genomes, the associated gene is present also.
Slide 36
SNP Maps
Scientists are trying to identify all the different SNPs in the human genome. They are sequencing the genomes of a large number of people and then comparing the base sequences to discover SNPs. The sequence data is being stored in computers that can generate a single map of the human genome containing all possible SNPs.
Slide 37
Individual SNP Profiles
The genome of each individual contains its own pattern of SNPs. Thus, each individual has his or her own SNP profile. When scientists look at all the patterns from a large number of people they can organize them into groups.
Slide 38
SNPs Profiles and Response to Drug Therapy
Doctors hope that by studying SNP profiles in populations, correlations will emerge between certain SNP profiles and specific responses to cancer treatment.
In the earlier example of two breast cancer patients, one did respond to the specific drug treatment, and the other did not. It may soon be possible to show that an entire group of patients responding well to breast cancer treatment repeatedly display profiles within a recurring set (e.g., A and E), while a group of non-responders repeatedly display profiles outside the set. In the future, after a doctor has diagnosed breast cancer in a new patient, he may also request a SNP profile and use the information to help advise his patient about her treatment options.
Slide 39
SNP Profiles May Help to Identify Cancer Genes
Since SNPs can be gene markers, SNP profiles may help scientists to identify the full collection of genes that contribute to the development of complex diseases such as cancer. For example, scientists will examine the SNP profiles from many people, including colon cancer patients. Within the many different profiles they may discover a small subset of SNPs that are only present in colon cancer patients. This implies that this subset of SNPs is associated only with colon cancer. When this happens, the SNPs themselves may be considered markers for colon cancer genes.
Slide 40
SNPs and Cancer Risk
Scientists are also using SNPs to calculate risk factors associated with cancer in large populations.
First, imagine analyzing the SNPs in a random population of 100 people. 80 percent are found to have SNP A and the remaining 20 percent have SNP B. Now look at another 100 people, all with kidney cancer. In this group, 60 percent have SNP A and 40 percent have SNP B. Neither SNP A nor SNP B causes cancer. However, from this data, physicians can say that a person who has SNP B is at a higher risk for kidney cancer than a person with SNP A.
Slide 41
Summary - SNPs and Cancer Research
Armed with data from the SNP Map, cancer researchers across the country are looking for correlations between SNPs and precancerous conditions, SNPs and drug resistance in chemotherapy, SNPs and cancer susceptibility, and SNPs and drug response.
There is much work ahead, but there is also much hope that these and other research findings will result in improved health care for all.

I obviously confused some of you because I got a bunch of emails asking if I was OK and what I meant by the post!
Project Food Budget is a delicious Pinto and Barley Chili. I love the way barley adds a chewy texture to this soup. Bulgur would also be a great addition. I used both ground cumin and cumin seeds because I love the little burst of flavor the seeds add, but if you don't have seeds you can leave them out. This chili is MUCH better the next day. The flavors come together and the barley expands in a way that really benefits the soup.
- Heat Oil and spices over medium heat, add onion, pepper and garlic salt
- Pour in water, barley, beans, tomatoes and chipotle
- Cover, bring to a boil for 45 minutes or until barley is done
- Add vinegar and cilantro

It's been a struggle getting in this years corn crop, but we are making progress. Most of the corn in the state was knee high by the 4th of July and even though that is no longer a key factor in determining what type of production year it is going to be, it's nice to see the crop making some progress.
Speaking of the week of the 4th., the hot muggy weather during that week did wonders for the crop. The average height is now 2 and 1/2 feet and in the sandier soils its waist high or above. Plus the quality of the crop has improved, with over 60% rated good to excellent. Unfortunately there are pockets here in Northeastern Wisconsin and in parts of Northcentral and Central Wisconsin that are still behind the 8-Ball. But on the whole, the crop looks much better than it did just two weeks ago and that holds true not only here, but throughout most of the corn and soybean belt. The exception is Iowa where they are reporting almost 15% of the corn crop is rated poor to very poor. As for you sweet corn lovers (and that includes me) most growers say the crop is a little behind, but the growers feel as we stand now, it should be an average to better crop.
We will get a better idea of what the USDA feels about this years crops when they release their revised crop production and price estimate this Thursday. Brad Ripey, the USDA's chief meteorologists does not expect any revisions downward, because of the very cooperative growing conditions most of the corn belt has received over the past few weeks. Of course the next big test for the crop will be at the end of the month through early August when growers are hopeful conditions will be good for that all important pollination stage of the crop.
As for Alfalfa, and winter wheat. Most areas are expecting the 2nd crop alfalfa to be better than the first, and the winter wheat is starting to turn in color and many crop consultants says the crop should be pretty good.

With singleton pregnancies it's okay to let baby stay in there as long as they want even if you go over your due date it's okay. In the case of twins I was reading in my baby book last night that it's not always the safest option to let them decide. Identical twins should be delivered at 37 weeks and fraternal twins should be delivered at 38 letting them go to 39 and beyond actually increases the risk that something will go wrong. So in the case of twins often your doctor will suggest induction or c-section prior to 39 weeks.
We have about a week and a half left before the scheduled arrival of the twins. I am officially 37 weeks tomorrow which is full term and that's awesome because a lot of twins don't make it this long. As good as I feel about that I can honestly tell you I'm struggling. I am so uncomfortable and worn out. I am going to survive though thanks to some great tips from doctors and nurses at Ministry Medical Group/Saint Michael's Hospital in Stevens Point.
One of the babies is still breech and can't really drop because the other baby's head is in the way so I'm still getting headbutted in the ribs. To survive I need to arch my back to try to alleviate some of the pressure.
The baby that is head down is very low now so she keeps pressing her head into my cervix which is painful and it hurts most when I'm sitting. To survive I need to get up and walk around.
Contractions are starting to become more painful, but not regular. To survive I need to drink some water and sit down. It can also help to take a warm (not hot) bath.
I am experiencing lower back pain which is to be expected since I'm carrying so much extra weight right in the front of my body. To survive I've been seeing a chiropractor and doing some stretches the doctor showed me.
I can't sleep! I can't get comfortable so sleeping is a challenge. To survive I have pillows to put under my belly, between my legs and behind my back to keep me from rolling onto my back.
Sore feet and ankles from walking around or standing with all this extra weight. To survive put my feet up. It's a good idea to put my feet up anyway to prevent any swelling, some swelling is okay, but excessive swelling (Edema) is a bad sign and warrants a call to your doctor.
I only have a little over one more week of being uncomfortable and then I'll have two new babies to love so I'll forget all about it. I can do this!

The estranged wife of former Major League Baseball pitcher Kris Benson was arrested after allegedly raiding his Smyrna apartment with a gun and metal baton, TMZ reports.Anna Benson, the former star of the reality show "Baseball Wives," was allegedly upset after a court order forced to vacate their marital home. Kris Benson, who filed for divorce last year, said that Anna, who was wearing a bulletproof vest, threatened to hit him with an "expandable metal baton." She then allegedly pulled out a handgun and demanded money. Kris then told Anna that he would get her the money. He then left the house and called police, the police report says. Anna Benson was arrested on Monday and charged with two counts of felony aggravated assault with a weapon, one count of criminal trespass and one count of possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.Read more on TMZ.com

Pain relief without pills!
Having suffered with rheumatic pain for years now, I am delighted with my TDP lamp which provides consistent pain relief (unlike the copious quantities of steroids I have been prescribed in the past which lose their effect after a while). I have always found that the joints which hurt the most feel ice-cold but the lamp really heats up the area you're treating & then the warmth remains within the skin & joint for a good few hours after treatment. Fantastic!

The Symbol of the Forget-Me-Not Flower
The Use of a Small, Blue Flower as a Sign of Love and Hope
A legend about the origin of the name forget-me-not is as follows. Once a medieval knight and his lady-love were walking beside a river. The knight held a bouquet in his hands. Because of the weight of the armor, he fell into the water. According to the legend, he threw the bouquet at her shouting forget-me-not.
There is a Christian religious legend according to which the child Jesus Christ created forget-me-nots so that the generations to come would be able to see him and his mother Mary, on whose lap he was sitting.

Nidiffer baby --50780395
I know the stone is extremely difficult to read; do you remember where it is in relation to other Nidiffer graves? I'm wondering if it might be the grave of Bessie Nidiffer, daughter of Felix and Joanna Linder Nidiffer, who died at the age of 4 in 1895. I understand Bessie was buried amongst family. Bessie was a little sister of my grandmother Annie.
Thanks for the good work you've done.

re: Bertha P. Ireland Berg
Hello, Another Find A Grave member sent me a message that there are two memorials for Mrs. Bertha P. Ireland Berg.
One is one I added some years ago Find A Grave #49398947, the second is one you added, Find A Grave #41413026.
The memorial I placed has connections to her family members, as well as a photo of her marker. If you are related to Bertha, let me know and I will gladly transfer her memorial to you. If not, contact me directly, so that we can work together to get the memorials merged, or delete one. Scot Lady

It seems like living our daily lives is growing more dangerous every day. We have seen too many terrible things happen, like Monday's explosions at the Boston Marathon.
Of course, we cannot protect everyone all the time. However, we can still take precautions. Fox 2's Andrea Isom spoke with Sheriff Bouchard and Ned Timmons, President of L.S.S. Consulting and formerly with the FBI, on how you can keep yourself safe.
The simplest thing you can do is be aware of your surroundings as you go about daily activities. Call police when you see someone or something suspicious -- don't just keep walking and forget about it. For more tips, you can watch the full interviews above.

Breastshield with Valve & Membrane
Product Overview
What's Included
- 1 - 24mm breastshield
- 1 - valve
- 1 - membrane
- Unit Weight: 0.2 lbs
- Unit Size/Packaging: 4 3/8 x 3 1/4 x 6 1/8
Breastshield with Valve & Membrane | Medela based on 0 ratings. 0 reviews.
The slanted angle of this one piece design minimizes condensation in the tubing. Easy to clean and keep up with all the parts.
These breast shields are better than the standard Personal Fit breast shields. The one-piece design means they slide easily in and out of my pumping bra -- no more worrying that the two parts of the flange might separate and cause me to spill milk. Plus, the one-piece design means there's one less part to wash. I do occasionally use a tiny bottle brush to scrub the innermost parts of the flange, but I had to do this with the Personal Fit flanges as well. I'm even going to buy another set of these to keep at work for daytime pumping!
Bought a pair while traveling. Once opened, it's obvious the shields are permanantly affixed to the pump assembly. This is a big problem because the wide part of the shield did not fit through the openings in my pumping bra. Had to cut holes in a sports bra that would stretch around them, and after a few uses the holes were so stretched the bra barely could hold the shields in place. Of course one cannot return the parts either-- so buyer, beware. How could they have overlooked this problem during product development???

Green Leaves wrote:I am sick at heart. We just read in the obituaries that our dear Cassie died. I had not be in touch with her for a few weeks but at the time she was doing well and going to open a craft store. Now I feel so badly that I was not in touch recently. My understanding is that Cassie has been a long time member of Faithwriters. Please pray for her family. She will be dearly missed.
Thanks so much for letting us know, GreenLeaves. I find it a comfort knowing a person was able to enjoy their occupations right up to the threshold of eternity, in spite of physical afflictions. She was a sweetheart, and I know you will miss her (are you the one who lived close enough to visit her when she was in the hospital? or, do I have both of you mixed up with others? I wouldn't be surprised, since I don't trust my recent memory all that much). Praying for you and for Cassie's family, that all will feel the arms of the Comforter's embrace.

When shopping for health insurance, your first concern may be whether you can afford it. Many people assume they can't afford health insurance and take the financial risk of being uninsured. But the good news is that once you know how insurance works, you can pick a plan and choose options that give you the affordable health insurance you need.
The first thing you may think of when shopping for affordable health insurance is the premium. How are premiums determined?
One cost-saving option that many plans offer is an annual deductible. (Health Maintenance Organizations [HMOs] do not have a deductible). A deductible is the amount you pay out of your own pocket within a specified period of time, usually twelve months, before benefits begin. Here is how it works:
Having a deductible can trim your premium and make health insurance more affordable. How do you decide on the deductible amount? Usually there are several levels offered per plan. You should choose a level that you can pay without causing financial hardship on you or your family. You should also consider the annual difference in premium versus deductible to determine under which premium-deductible combinations you are most likely to pay the least.
Take time to learn how your health plan works. If you do, you may save money. Some examples:
Once you understand all the variables that affect your cost, you can find an affordable health insurance plan that's just right for you…and your budget.

So much about pregnancy isn't sexy, and even though it may not be the most unsexy thing the pregnancy waddle is certainly the most noticeable. You will begin waddling in the 3rd trimester. You may not realize it when it starts happening, but others will. Unfortunately it's unavoidable.
We waddle because of a combination of things. We have a growing belly that throws our balance off and we shift our weight to try to offset it. Besides that we're flooded with pregnancy hormones getting us ready for the big day by loosening our joints and ligaments making us more unstable. As the babies get bigger and start to drop the pelvis begins to widen for the great escape which also widens our stance.
This video is kinda long, but even if you watch a minute you'll get the idea.
The waddle hits us multiples moms sooner than all you singleton moms (so count your blessings). Even though it's not sexy and may even be a bit embarrassing know it happens to all pregnant women. The best part about all the negatives of pregnancy is that they don't last, but neither do the cool things like feeling the baby move and trying to guess if that's an elbow or a knee creating that lump in your belly, so don't wish it away.

One of the best parts of the story was meeting a local man who dedicates his time to delivering food and faith to those he meets. Another story that really touched me was an Upstate woman who donated one of her kidneys to a teenager she barely knew. I will never forget her strength, determination, and kindness.

(RNN) – This year's unusually high number of flu-like illnesses will likely continue, making it more important to seek prevention and treatment.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, flu season's peak has lingered longer than normal.
The current reported hospitalization rate is 8.1 per 100,000 people, and the number of people seeking medical treatment for flu-like symptoms has doubled in the last four weeks.
Those numbers are abnormally high, according to Dr. Joe Bresee, chief of the Epidemiology and Prevention Branch in the CDC's Influenza Division.
The seriousness of several reported cases is also particularly alarming.
"While we can't say for certain how severe this season will be, we can say that a lot of people are getting sick with influenza, and we are getting reports of severe illness and hospitalizations," Bresee said in a CDC release.
Max Schwolert, a 17-year-old who was visiting relatives in Wisconsin, died from complications related to the flu right after Christmas. That state, ironically, reported some of the lowest levels of flu-like illnesses in the country.
Schwolert had not received a vaccine before the beginning of flu season.
"He just started having flu-like symptoms, and then the early morning of (Dec. 26) he had severe fever and chills," Michelle Schwolert, Max's aunt, told TV station KDFW. "It all happened very, very, very quickly."
Nineteen states are reporting low-to-moderate levels of influenza this season. The states with the lowest levels of reported flu-like illnesses are California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Kentucky, Maine, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota and Wisconsin.
Doctors say the mistake many people make is not getting the flu shot in the first place, and they may be further mistaken in thinking it is too far into flu season for a vaccine to matter.
"Anyone who has not already been vaccinated should do so now," Bresee said. "People who have severe influenza illness, or who are at high risk of serious influenza-related complications, should get treated with influenza antiviral medications if they get flu symptoms, regardless of whether or not they got vaccinated. Also, you don't need to wait for a positive laboratory test to start taking antivirals."
According to the CDC, it is important to get a flu vaccine every year because strains of the virus constantly change. Even then, only 91 percent of known viruses are included in current vaccines.
That makes antiviral medications an imperative way to fight the illness in case someone does get infected. The CDC recommends Tamiflu and Relenza as effective medicines to treat influenza at its onset, and it is recommended people seek treatment as soon as possible.
