Building a Molecular Foundation for Cancer Prevention
In this issue of the NCI Cancer Bulletin, we offer a closer look at cancer prevention research. It's an enormous topic, but I think you'll see as you read that, beyond what we already know about behavior change and cancer prevention, the field is transitioning toward studies that delve into the molecular foundations of health and disease.
Some of the most promising science under way takes advantage of advances in fields such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics - what some call "molecular prevention." Read more
Mouse Models Offer Promise in the Science of Cancer Prevention
The new generation of genetically-engineered mouse models (GEMs) holds promise for helping cancer prevention researchers refine and speed up testing of potential preventive agents. These mice are programmed to develop specific types of cancer in ways that mimic human cancer. That may make it easier for scientists, using sophisticated imaging technologies, to gauge the effects of cancer preventive substances.
This summer, NCI will convene a "think tank" of 15-18 invited experts from the fields of early intervention, prevention, and prevention screening, as well as from the NCI Mouse Models of Human Cancers Consortium (MMHCC), to develop research plans that fully explore the promise of GEMs. Read more
Building a Molecular Foundation for Cancer Prevention
In this issue of the NCI Cancer Bulletin, we offer a closer look at cancer prevention research. It's an enormous topic, but I think you'll see as you read that, beyond what we already know about behavior change and cancer prevention, the field is transitioning toward studies that delve into the molecular foundations of health and disease.
Some of the most promising science under way takes advantage of advances in fields such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics - what some call "molecular prevention."
In the following pages, for example, you'll see that researchers are investigating the genetic and epigenetic events related to carcinogenesis and their interplay with diet and environmental exposures; they are conducting whole-genome scans using genomic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and beginning the use of whole genome sequencing to identify all of the genes predicting risk and involved in the development of cancer; and they are using genetically engineered mouse models that may be able to provide important details about precancerous states and possibly accelerate the development of preventive agents, such as those supported by the Division of Cancer Prevention's RAPID program, which expedites extramural agents through development, proof of concept, and phase I clinical trials.
I see a close relationship between research focused on preventing disease in those known to be at high risk and detecting disease at its very earliest stages based on genetic or protein expression signatures. Research such as this is going on throughout NCI, including the Early Detection Research Network, the Clinical Proteomics Program, and the Cancer Family Registries, with opportunities for the cross-fertilization of ideas that can lead to important advances.
Any discussion of cancer prevention would be incomplete without highlighting the recent approval of the vaccine that protects against human papilloma virus (HPV). The benefits of this vaccine will probably not be seen for years to come, so it is imperative that all women continue regular screening.
Along those lines, during a visit to the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center last week, I attended a presentation on an innovative study called CARE aimed at addressing the unusually high cervical cancer rates in the Appalachian regions of Ohio by, among other measures, improving Pap smear screening rates.
The program highlights that access to cutting-edge science and care is critical to decreasing the cancer burden. That reality is a driver behind the pilot program to be launched later this year, the NCI Community Cancer Centers Program. And, of course, continuing to support innovative ways to influence behavioral risk factors, including diet, exercise, and tobacco use, remains a key part of cancer prevention.
I hope you enjoy this special issue. It provides only a snapshot of the diverse efforts by NCI and others in the research community to prevent cancer. But I believe it also presents a bright future in which we have a variety of effective tools at our disposal to fight cancer incidence and vastly improve public health in the United States and beyond.

The new generation of genetically-engineered mouse models (GEMs) holds promise for helping cancer prevention researchers refine and speed up testing of potential preventive agents. These mice are programmed to develop specific types of cancer in ways that mimic human cancer. That may make it easier for scientists, using sophisticated imaging technologies, to gauge the effects of cancer preventive substances.
This summer, NCI will convene a "think tank" of 15-18 invited experts from the fields of early intervention, prevention, and prevention screening, as well as from the NCI Mouse Models of Human Cancers Consortium (MMHCC), to develop research plans that fully explore the promise of GEMs.
"The meeting will bring together a cadre of scientists from diverse fields," noted Dr. Cory Abate-Shen, professor with the Center for Advanced Biotechnology and Medicine, UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. "This will facilitate a dialogue, which is critical. Working together, we can develop ideas for studies that will enable us to assess the value of these newer mouse models for cancer prevention."
In NCI's Division of Cancer Prevention (DCP), the Chemopreventive Agent Development Research Group, as well as many NCI funded investigators, have published more than a hundred studies using GEMs for the past decade. These studies in multiple organ systems have identified a variety of agents that have progressed to human clinical trials, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), nitric-oxide-releasing NSAIDS, glucocorticoids, retinoid X receptor agonists, aromatase inhibitors, tazarotene, and ACAPHA (a mixture of Chinese herbs). However, more recently developed GEM models may be especially well suited to future prevention studies.
The upcoming think tank will address several key questions related to this, explained NCI's Dr. Cheryl Marks, who administers the MMHCC. "The intent of the meeting is to identify the principal challenges facing early intervention and prevention, define the future goals, identify limitations of mouse models and strategies to overcome those limitations, and discuss how to effectively use these newer mouse models for cancer prevention."
Until now, research with GEMs and other mouse models in the MMHCC has focused more on their applicability for safe and effective treatments for cancer rather than on prevention.
Last year in Toxicologic Pathology, participants from a previous MMHCC workshop reported on precancer research. "The scientific community suddenly possesses a wealth of precancers available for study in a variety of organ systems," they wrote. "Since most of the GEMs have been constructed to test oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes known to be involved in human cancer, these precancers should become primary targets for understanding, treatment, and prevention and ideal representations of processes occurring in human precancers."
Dr. Abate-Shen noted that human clinical trials for cancer preventive agents can take many years before delivering definitive results, whether positive or negative, about the drug or nutritional supplement. "Our goal would be to test agents in these newer mouse models to understand their mechanism of action and to guide clinical studies," she said.
To find common genes that confer modest amounts of risk, researchers have begun to survey the human genome for DNA variants such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are associated with some common cancers. Genome-wide association studies are underway for common diseases, including diabetes. Last year, NIH launched two initiatives to support such efforts.
The NCI-sponsored Cancer Genetic Markers of Susceptibility (CGEMS) project is using high-throughput technology to identify susceptibility genes for breast and prostate cancers. The genotyping data are being made available online so that other investigators can have access to the information.
"The hope is that genome-wide association studies will be a discovery tool for identifying genes that no one knew were involved in cancer," said Dr. Margaret Tucker, director of the Human Genetics Program in the Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG). "These genes could point to novel environmental risk factors and biological mechanisms in the disease."
Some research groups have been establishing consortia and pooling resources to assemble the large number of individuals required to detect modest effects of genes on cancer risk and to replicate preliminary findings.
The NCI-sponsored Cohort Consortium is an international collaboration of researchers responsible for about 25 population cohorts involving 2.6 million individuals. The Cohort Consortium provides an integrative framework for studies of specific cancers to systematically evaluate biomarkers of susceptibility and disease.
A recent study by another group, the Breast Cancer Association Consortium, suggests that researchers can confirm or refute associations reported previously in the scientific literature by pooling data. The consortium used data on 33,000 women in 13 countries to confirm that a SNP in the gene CASP8 may offer modest protection against the disease.
The finding does not have immediate implications for prevention. But it suggests that researchers could use the same approach to identify panels of genetic variants that collectively influence a woman's risk, said Dr. Montserrat Garcia-Closas of DCEG.
Identifying SNPs linked to disease in genome-wide scans is an important first step, but additional work is usually necessary to identify the genes involved. "The data from these scans should be a rich discovery resource for the whole community and should stimulate new areas of research," said Dr. Tucker.
Some cancers involve the inappropriate silencing or activation of genes through epigenetic changes - chemical modifications to DNA and proteins that control gene activity without causing a change in DNA sequence.
Though the epigenetic silencing of certain genes is critical throughout life, epigenetic information is less stable than the DNA sequence and may change over a lifetime. Some epigenetic changes can be modified by environmental factors, including drugs.
Epigenetic regulation of genes is essential for health, and flaws can lead to cancer and other diseases. But the flaws themselves could potentially be used to detect and even prevent tumors.
For example, the gene GSTP1 normally protects cells from damage by environmental toxins. But, in some prostate tumors, the gene is silenced by the addition of chemicals called methyl groups to DNA. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University developed an experimental screening test to detect this DNA methylation, the most common epigenetic change.
"Cancer epigenetics is important for prevention because we may be able to use methylation markers to identify people at higher risk of cancer and perhaps detect cancer earlier," said Dr. Mukesh Verma in NCI's Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS), one of several divisions conducting epigenetics research.
Investigators in DCP's Early Detection Research Network are engaged in analytical validation of GSTP1 methylation for prostate cancer, as well as other genes linked to breast, kidney, and bladder cancers.
DCP has also led workshops and discussions on potential application of hypermethylation as a biomarker for early cancer detection, diagnosis, and prognosis. A recent workshop sponsored by the DCP Cancer Biomarkers Research Group and the National Institute of Standards and Technology developed guidelines and recommendations for reagents, tools, and protocols for quantitative measurement of methylation in affected organ sites. A summary by Drs. Jacob Kagan and Sudhir Srivastava of DCP will be published soon in Cancer Research.
"We cannot reverse genetic mutations, but by using drugs we may be able to reverse changes in methylation," said Dr. Verma. "This approach has promise for prevention."
Diet also may affect methylation. Giving pregnant mice diets rich in methyl donors - including folic acid, choline, methionine, and genistein, an ingredient in soy - can modify the methylation patterns of a certain gene in their offspring. This can cause a change in coat color that may be associated with a reduced cancer risk.
"Epigenetic information presumably can be modified by environmental factors, including diet, and that's intriguing," said Dr. Sharon Ross of DCP. "We're getting closer to understanding how we might modify epigenetic changes associated with disease."
When the results of the STAR clinical trial were published last year, they showed that the anti-osteoperosis drug raloxifene was as effective at reducing breast cancer risk in high-risk women as tamoxifen, but with lower toxicity. The results also highlighted the evidence-based path prevention researchers follow to test more effective, less toxic agents.
That approach begins with NCI's chemoprevention agent portfolio. More than 108 agents are currently being tested in NCI-supported preclinical studies. And 100 unique drugs (alone or combined) have been or are now in early clinical trials.
While most of these compounds are in preliminary stages of research, other more established drugs are in large clinical trials. For colorectal cancer prevention, for example, results from two phase III clinical trials published last year demonstrated a significant risk-reduction benefit for people at increased risk of disease taking the COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib. However, the trials also raised significant concerns because of the cardiac toxicities associated with the drug in some participants.
"Once a treatment is proven to be effective, rarely is it abandoned because of toxicity concerns," said Dr. Asad Umar, acting chief of the Gastrointestinal and Other Cancers Research Group in DCP. "Instead, we do additional research to try to better understand the toxicities, hopefully finding ways to minimize them and improving the treatment's effectiveness. We approach prevention the same way."
Celecoxib is already approved by the FDA for risk reduction, along with surgery, in people with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), a hereditary disorder that significantly increases colorectal cancer risk. And DCP's Dr. Iqbal Ali is using proteomic technologies to analyze blood from people with FAP to pinpoint molecular clues indicative of celecoxib chemopreventive activity and/or cardiovascular toxicity. "Our pilot study has identified novel celecoxib-modulated proteins of various molecular functions, some of which are highly relevant for carcinogenesis and cardiovascular pathology," Dr. Ali said.
This research, she continued, is focused on identifying systemic changes after celecoxib treatment to identify which individuals at high risk of developing colorectal cancer are most likely to benefit from it.
The same approach is being used to try to refine the benefit-to-risk ratio of the first chemoprevention agent ever approved by the FDA, tamoxifen. Although recently published results have affirmed tamoxifen's preventive benefits and eased concerns about toxicity, prevention researchers are taking steps to further target its use.
Using blood samples from the breast cancer cases that occurred in the first large U.S. clinical trial testing tamoxifen for breast cancer prevention, the Breast Cancer Prevention Trial (BCPT), Dr. Barbara Dunn from DCP and Dr. Mark Greene from DCEG are leading a BCPT substudy, one of several directed by the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project, that is examining a pre-identified set of genes, SNPs, and repeat sequences primarily in the cell-signal pathways for tamoxifen and estrogen metabolism. Their goal: to determine the impact SNPs have on tamoxifen or estrogen activity in preventing breast cancer.
"This is part of the movement toward individualized prevention," Dr. Dunn said. "Ideally, you would be able to genotype a woman not only to determine whether she is at high risk, but also whether she is likely to benefit from tamoxifen."
Screening for early-stage disease remains vital to cancer prevention. New technologies are especially needed for cancers such as ovarian and pancreatic cancer, which often do not produce symptoms until they have spread from the tissue of origin. To this end, NCI launched the Early Detection Research Network to fund a diverse consortium of researchers attempting to turn molecular biomarkers of cancer into useful clinical tools.
NCI performs and funds research to improve existing screening technologies, as well. Dr. Philip Castle of DCEG is validating several molecular tests to screen women for clinically relevant types of human papillomavirus (HPV). For years Pap smears have successfully detected precancerous cervical lesions, but molecular tests for cancer-causing types of HPV are more clinically sensitive and are better precancer predictors than Pap smears and other cytologic methods.
"The goal essentially for these kinds of tests is to make the current screening system more efficient," explained Dr. Castle. "HPV testing is a more clinically sensitive test than cytology, so you can go to longer screening intervals among women who test negative for cancer-causing types of HPV because of the greater reassurance. This in turn reduces the overall cost of the cervical cancer prevention program, which is billions of dollars annually, without reducing the effectiveness."
Dr. Castle and colleagues are working on increasing cervical cancer screening for disadvantaged women worldwide, where more than 80 percent of cervical cancer is found. DCEG's Mississippi Delta Project has partnered with local organizations to test the effectiveness of HPV testing using self-collected cervicovaginal samples in a population of medically underserved women living in the rural southern United States.
Improving access and compliance is important for all types of cancer screening. "You can have the most effective test available, but if you can't get physicians to recommend it, and you don't address patient barriers to using it, it's not likely to benefit the public health," said Dr. Helen Meissner, chief of the Applied Cancer Screening Research Branch in DCCPS.
NCI has extensive research efforts underway "to understand factors that improve compliance with screening from a health care delivery and systems standpoint," explained Dr. Rachel Ballard-Barbash, associate director of DCCPS's Applied Research Program. "This may involve developing automated systems that prompt physicians to encourage their patients to undergo screening or remind patients to schedule appointments for screening, as well as systems for improving how screening tests, such as mammograms, are interpreted by radiologists. The assumption that all the focus of attention needs to be with the individual person rather than the system of health care delivery may miss major opportunities to make great improvements in health care."

External influences are dominant in cancer development, so why is it important to understand the role of genetic variation in this disease?
While the role of the environment is undoubtedly important, it is rarely the sole determinant of cancer risk. Rather, it is the interplay between the environment and our genes or, more specifically, the variations found in our genome, that result in differing responses to the environmental exposures and lifestyle factors that can lead to the onset of cancer. The genomic revolution has given us the tools to examine common genetic variants in a comprehensive manner, allowing us to evaluate the effects of modest or small changes in a gene's function or expression that may contribute to cancer risk. New technological advances make it possible to survey a well-chosen set of common genetic variations and identify markers of disease risk. However, these findings must be further validated in successive replication studies before we can begin to investigate the functional consequences of genetic variation.
Given the genetic and molecular research currently under way, what might cancer prevention look like 5, 10, or 20 years from now?
We cannot fully anticipate the future course of cancer prevention, but we are in a position to make at least a few educated guesses. The value of genetic testing and counseling should continue to increase over time, along with our knowledge base, as we conduct more clinically relevant studies. One can envision a day when individual profiles of genetic risk factors may help to inform lifestyle choices or to accelerate the rate of screening for early detection of specific cancers. Furthermore, the identification of genetic mechanisms and pathways underpinning cancer will provide insights into the development of new diagnostic, preventive, and therapeutic measures. Still, we should be wary of underestimating the complexity of cancer and, for this reason, continue to pursue integrated approaches that bring together observations across many disciplines - including genetics, cancer biology, and epidemiology - to advance cancer prevention research.
Cigarette smoking remains the leading preventable cause of premature death, accounting for one in every five deaths in the United States, many of these due to cancer. NCI supports research to identify factors that contribute to smoking initiation, cancer development, and successful quitting, as well as tools to help people quit, including those available at http://www.smokefree.gov and through NCI's smoking quitline at 1-877-44U-QUIT.
Efforts to stop people before they start smoking have identified peer smoking, family members who smoke, and tobacco industry marketing and advertising as important influences, and there has been some progress in targeting these factors.
However, 22 percent of high school students and 21 percent of adults continue to smoke, and as researchers are beginning to realize, this may have something to do with their genes.
"Genetic factors associated with nicotine dependence and addiction might have an influence on who maintains tobacco use," said Dr. Gary Swan, director of the Center for Health Sciences at SRI International in Menlo Park, CA, and an NCI-funded expert whose research focuses on nicotine dependence, genetic and environmental determinants of addiction, and pharmacogenetics.
Genetic research, for example, has identified variants in the CYP2A6 gene associated with nicotine metabolism. Some people with these variants are able to metabolize nicotine faster with fewer unpleasant side effects, such as nausea and headache, and thus are more likely to become a regular smoker. Conversely, individuals who metabolize nicotine slower are less likely to become regular smokers because the adverse side effects they experience help them resist further use.
Other research is showing that nicotine dependence might be associated with a genetic variant in the dopamine pathway, which regulates feelings of pleasure and reward. People with fewer dopamine receptors are more likely to become regular smokers, presumably because the rewarding effect of nicotine compensates for the lack of dopamine receptors.
Knowledge of genetic variants such as these may eventually help researchers tailor cessation drug treatments according to an individual's genetic makeup, as well as identify new targets for these drugs.
"These fields are still pretty young," said Dr. Swan. "They've only been in operation for about 8 years, with most of the activity in the last 4 years. Compared to cancer genetics, which began in the 1970s with the declaration of the 'war on cancer,' we have a long way to go."
By some estimates, 30 to 35 percent of all cancers are related to environmental factors. Of those factors, diet is considered one of the most significant.
And although studies are frequently reported that suggest one type of food may increase or decrease your risk of cancer or other diseases, the truth, said Dr. John Milner, chief of the DCP Nutritional Sciences Research Group, is that those risks are going to vary from person to person.
"Not all people respond identically to anything, whether it's food or drugs or exercise," Dr. Milner said.
For a long time, researchers have been attempting to help unravel how and why these different responses occur. Some of the research supported by Dr. Milner's group at NCI is focused on better understanding the impact of dietary components - both essential nutrients like calcium or selenium, and nonessential nutrients like flavonoids and n-3 fatty acids - on things like gene expression, often called nutrigenomics. But nutrition, he stressed, also has an impact on proteomics and metabolomics.
Using advanced technologies like microarrays and RNA interference, researchers are identifying the molecular sites of action of certain bioactive food components and teasing out how these nutrients influence processes such as carcinogen metabolism, inflammatory response, and DNA repair.
Dr. Milner pointed to the example of studies demonstrating that omega fatty acids, such as those found in abundance in certain types of fish, may inhibit the HER2 receptor, the same protein targeted by trastuzumab (Herceptin) that is linked to a particularly aggressive form of breast cancer.
But underlying this line of research, he continued, is the need to account for the differences between individuals that influence their response to the more than 25,000 bioactive food components in the diet.
"We have consistently seen a lot of variability in the response to different dietary components, and that's linked to a number of things," said Dr. Milner. "It's the number of interactions with those components and their interactions with the genes of the individual. There's also the influence of the duration and the timing of exposure. What we're trying to do is define the circumstances when dietary interventions can minimize cancer risk and change tumor behaviors."

I think I'm going to give up Raw Wednesdays for the next month or so while I transition into the Mini Meal Plan. What I'm planning is 4 400 calorie meals and an optional 200 calorie snack ( that can be divided if need be ). That will give me a good green smoothie in addition to the four meals. Today, I feel like I ate all day long, but never got hungry.
One of my mini meals for tomorrow will star this delicious banana peanut butter ice cream. All you have to do is chop two frozen banana and pulse them in a food processor with 2 T peanut butter until it's nice and smooth. I added some freshly grated nutmeg to the top.
When I first started teaching cooking classes years ago, I would often start my Tofu class with an ice cream similar to this. I would use 1 package silken tofu, frozen bananas and frozen berries along with some sweetener depending on the tartness of the berries. People were blown away by how good it was!
Food for the day: 1800 calories!

Urgent care has become big business. There are now about 8,000 urgent care centers in the United States, with about 180 providers in the metro Atlanta area. They are banking on patients willing to pay more for fast care.David Katz thought he sprained his finger playing soccer, but a week and half later it started to look crooked. Katz works at Emory University and has health insurance, but he didn't want spend hours in the emergency room. His own doctor was booked for days, so he turned to North Atlanta Urgent Care."In fact, in this case it's probably going to cost me more to get the x-ray here, but since I'm really, really busy, getting it done quickly is important to me," Katz said.With emergency rooms stretched to the limit -- and the shortage of primary care doctors growing -- urgent care centers are opening all over metro Atlanta to fill in the gap.It makes sense: the average ER wait time can be 4 to 5 hours; most urgent cares promise to get you in and out in about an hour.North Atlanta Urgent Care's Dr. Andy Van Horn said they're staffed by emergency physicians and open weekends, evenings and holidays when your doctor is not."The overall visit is a lot less expensive than an emergency department, a lot more convenient than sometimes your primary care doctor because we see primarily walk-in patients," Van Horn said. "We don't take any appointments. Any time a patient wants to be seen, they're welcome to come in."You'll pay more for urgent care than your average doctor's visit -- about $125 to $150 for a visit – but much less than the average ER visit.At Well Street Urgent Care in Buckhead, medical director Nelson Yuen said what they're selling is good care and convenience."We know people's time is valuable, and if we don't do a good job there, people will walk. They'll go to a different center," said Yuen.But how do you know if you should go to the ER or urgent care?"You know, there are something that are clearly going to be an ER-type visit: You're having a stroke. You're can't move your side. You have crushing chest pain. You have severe, severe abdominal pain," Yuen said.Dr. Yuen said some things are better fit for urgent care."They're going to be, you sprained your ankle. You have a cut on the arm. You have a cough, you have a sore throat. These are all things that the ER is perfectly capable of handling, but that's not what they're designed for," Yuen said.Back at North Atlanta Urgent Care, Katz got good news: his finger was not broken and it didn't take all day to figure that out. To find an urgent care, ask around, or do an online search and read the patient reviews.Before you go in, call the clinic and find out how busy they are and how long you'll have to wait.Also, check with your insurance plan or HMO to find out if they cover urgent care visits. If they do, you may have to pay as little as $30 to $60.

Tasting Notes

A stack of pancakes and an early start to the weekend.

- Video
Verismo™ Espresso Coffee Pods, exclusively for the Verismo® System
This is the high-quality arabica coffee you love from Starbucks, roasted, ground and packaged specially for single-cup use with the Verismo® System. Insert espresso coffee pod into machine and push "Espresso" button for a delicious shot of espresso. Americanos and Caffè Lattes can also be made with this espresso pod.
Pods are for single use only. Never reuse. Use espresso pod only with espresso brew cycle. Misuse of pods can damage machine.
Each coffee requires slightly different amounts of time and temperature during the roasting process to create a cup at its peak of aroma, acidity, body and flavor. We classify our coffees in three roast profiles so you can easily find your desired flavor and intensity.
- Blonde: Blonde-roasted coffees have a shorter roast time, lighter body and mellow flavors.
- Medium: Medium-roasted coffees are balanced with smooth and rich flavors.
- Dark: Dark-roasted coffees feature a fuller body and robust, bold flavors.
We're committed to ethically sourcing and roasting the highest-quality arabica coffee in the world. When we buy coffee this way, it fosters a better future for farmers, and a more stable climate for the planet. It also helps create a long-term supply of the high-quality beans we've been carefully blending, roasting and packing fresh for more than 40 years.
- Product Details
Verismo™ Guatemala Antigua Espresso Pods
This exquisite coffee balances elegant and refined flavours from Antigua with the depth of Espresso Roast. We think you'll love its incredible complexity and lingering notes of cocoa and soft spice.
This coffee is specially packaged in 12 – (9g) pods for exclusive use with the Verismo® System.

Tyler Police confirm that they investigated an incident on the campus of Robert E. Lee High School Friday afternoon.
Police say that they received a report of someone driving around Loop 323 with a knife out the window of a truck. The vehicle then pulled into the parking lot of RE Lee High School, and someone reported it to police.
Police tell us they found that it was a student returning from class at Tyler Jr. College. Police searched his truck and found a tree saw, not a knife, as was initially reported.
No charges will be filed. School officials are now determining if the student violated any school policies.
The initial precautionary lockdown has been lifted.

text: I took a digi this morning (all I had) and it was negative. I'm so bummed but trying to hold out hope that it is too early. My beta was really low with DS at 14dpiui. And just to really mess with me, my temp decided to jump this morning (and I even took it half an hour early). The cherry on top is there is a house we really want and we can't put an offer on it today because our lender is being a PITA. What a freaking awesome day. Think I'm gonna go eat some cake now. lol

When planning for the big day I came across this awesome DIY guest book idea. Seth (my fiance) wasn't as enthused as I was about it, but it turned out to be a really fun activity!! It also was so much fun reading through all our pages when we were relaxing on the honeymoon.
Here's how I did it:
I first decorated a plain cardboard notebook:
I made pages for guests to sign as they arrived at the ceremony. I printed them on card-stock with a pearly shimmer to it. They looked really elegant!
At the reception, guests found wedding mad libs and these activity pages on the tables to fill in for us! We got some really fun responses!
Some of my favorites were baby predictions and the random advice we recieved. The wedding mad libs kept us laughing for hours!

Found this article about the new programs that Disney is adding to Netflix
We're very excited about Handy Manny. My 3 1/2 year old daughter LOVES Handy Manny. So much that she even goes to bed with her "tools" and hard-hat.
My wife and I had to invest in a NEW DVD player a few months ago, and I had NO idea about the streaming Netflix ability THRU the DVD player. WOW!!
Now, instead of buying a DVD like "Finding Nemo" or "Mosnters Inc" and watching it a MILLION times until you can't stand it as a parent, you can very it up and watch like ANY episode EVER of Dora the Explorer (I think there are over 90) or many other
We all know "TV Time" shouldn't be a constant thing in your child's life, but we also know that "TV Time" sometimes = "A chance to get something done around the house" :)
Certainly a worthwhile investment if you don't have a Netflix-enabled DVD player to invest in one!

"Gemstones have a beauty unlike anything else because they allow light inside and refract it," explains David Yurman. He is known for his use of brilliant colored gemstones in bold dimensions and unconventional combinations. "Mixing gemstones is a dynamic balance. The possibilities are infinite," Yurman notes.
Highlighted in settings of unique artistry, they are infinitely beautiful.
Artists of the Renaissance looked to the classics for inspiration, yet infused their work with innovative techniques and a new aesthetic sensibility. In 1983, David Yurman did the same with the development of his first Cable design, the Renaissance bracelet, which merges sculptural form with the brilliant jewel tones found in classical painting. Cable exemplifies the designer's motto of "Continuing in the Classic Tradition," with references to ancient Greek and Roman, Egyptian and Celtic forms. Twisting multiple strands of metal into a cohesive helix, Cable is David Yurman's iconic design and signature motif.

Loving Your Child and Loving Parenting Are Very Separate Things
The article link below titled All Joy and No Fun - Why Parents Hate Parenting details many studies done throughout the world to measure happiness of parents as it pertains to how many children they have, how much money they have, and the quality or existence of a marriage. Findings indicate that having children does not make people happier when compared to people who do not have children, nor does it make marrital happiness increase. Parents with higher education and socioeconomic status report less happiness than those who have only gone to high school and happiness diminishes the more children you have, according to one study.
Perhaps it is the WAY we try to parent, trying to be perfect all the time, trying to give our child every advantage we can. If you think the outcomes of these studies sound bleak, read this article and find out how happiness can be found in the beautiful mess of parenting.

Car crashes into home in New London
New London — A city woman and a young boy were transported to the hospital Thursday night after the woman's Nissan Sentra crashed into the front of a three-story house at 182 Vauxhall St.
The accident was reported at 7:56 p.m., according to a police press release. The car jumped a granite curb and mowed down several shrubs before crashing through the front wall and window of the three-family home.
The car's hood was lodged in the living room of the ground-floor apartment, according to the release. An official from the city's building department condemned the building until the structural integrity of the building can be evaluated and the car removed, police said.
The driver, 23-year-old Fabiola Belidor of 13 Manwaring St., was charged with driving with a suspended license and failure to stop at a stop sign.
Belidor and the young boy were taken to Lawrence + Memorial Hospital for observation and treatment of minor injuries, police said. No one was home at the time of the accident, and there were no other reported injuries.
The Vauxhall Street accident was the second report of a car into a building Thursday. Earlier in the day, police responded to a report of a car that had hit a house at 490 Pequot Ave. The car had been parked on a somewhat steep incline and the emergency brake had not been engaged, police said.
No injuries were reported as a result of the 3:37 p.m. incident, which caused slight damage to the house's siding and wood framing, police said.

A teenager is shot and killed over a leather jacket. It's the latest in a string of armed robberies in Detroit that have left young people dead. We talked to the victim's mother.
Click on the video player to watch Robin Schwartz's report.
"The young man already took the jacket off," says Barbara Carreker. "The guy just started shooting anyway."
The mother of 18 year old Demetri Green stood clutching her son's picture the morning after the teenager was shot and killed. It happened around 9:30pm Friday near Warren and Somerset. Carreker says Demetri and a friend were walking to the store when a man with a gun jumped out of a van and tried to rob her son's friend.
"He worked at a $7 an hour job. They were trying to rob him for a leather coat, " Carreker said. "He took the coat off and threw it down. They opened fire with an AK-47 and started shooting at him."
The two victims ran. We're told Demetri's friend, who had a concealed weapon, returned fire. He got away. But, when he turned around Demetri was on the ground. His mother says he was shot in the head.
"My son just graduated from Southeastern with a 4.0," she said choking back tears. "He was in an all city string bank. He's on two CD's. He and his brother played with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra."
The teen would have celebrated his 19th birthday in February. This latest shooting comes amid grim crime statistics for Detroit. 411 homicides in 2012 and 2013 is off to a violent start. Thursday night, Petty Officer Terrence Hill, Jr., 24, was shot and killed in a robbery on Detroit's west side. He was home on leave from the Navy. Early Friday morning, an honor student, True Whitsey, 18, was also robbed and murdered on the west side. Victims family members are crying out for help.
"This violence in Detroit has to stop," Carreker said. "It don't help that police stations are closing at 4 o'clock because all they're doing is advertising to the criminals out here that you have free reign to shoot and kill and maim whoever you want. They don't care about anybody."
So far, no arrests in these recent crimes. CrimeStoppers is offering rewards in the various cases. Call 1-800-SPEAKUP (1-800-773-2587) with information. You can remain anonymous.

text: Got to shoot pics for a Fireworks Company..fun gig, right? It really was..but also needed to tell a story of how many people come to their annual pre-4th of July event. One way to do this..is show the fans continuing to arrive even though they've had all day to get to the event! I tried this while shooting way up on a platform..not a normal view for fireworks..but it helped to get waaay up in the air to show where all the cars were parked with more coming. You use a slow shutter speed anyway when shooting fireworks. I use my camera in Manual/Bulb mode at ISO200 at about f10..so I can leave the shutter open for as long as I want. The slow shutter speed also got the stream of cars you seen in the middle here...those are people still arriving. Fun to be at a photo op with 8,000-10,000 people there to see the Ka-Booms!! (I took this at Fireworks Country June 21st out near Wittenberg, Wisconsin!)

(RNN) - The U.S. Department of Agriculture granted approval for China, a country with a questionable food safety record, to process poultry that will be imported for consumption in America.
The New York Times reported a limited amount of poultry will be slaughtered in the U.S. and Canada, shipped overseas to four approved plants and shipped back stateside.
Because USDA rules do not require labels for food that has been cooked, consumers will not know if their poultry has been processed domestically or abroad.
"China's 'national condition' has already seemingly had a harmful effect on its poultry - and on U.S. consumers unlucky enough to have bought it for their pets," Bloomberg writer Adam Minter said.
Minter's reference was to a Food and Drug Administration investigation that linked Chinese meat in jerky treats as the cause of death for hundreds of pets and the illness of thousands more.
There are common occurrences of avian influenza (bird flu) in the country, and 20,000 birds from a popular market were killed in June after a virus strain discovered in Shanghai killed six people.
A three-month investigation by Chinese state security that ended earlier this year led to the arrest of more than 900 people for using meat from rats, foxes and mink and selling it off as lamb in food markets.
This decision by the USDA follows a contentious proposal to sell Smithfield Foods to a major Chinese food processor.
The meat trade between the two countries has been contentious since 2003. China banned imports of U.S. beef for concerns of mad cow disease, and Congress followed that by blocking the import of Chinese poultry.

Erin, you knew that woman who was kicked off the plane this year? How interesting! Was it the JetBlue flight from Turks & Caicos? Or was it the Alaska flight from Seattle? They're starting to kick the toddlers off a little more this year, it seems. I don't think Bodhi was anywhere close to getting us kicked off at all. He was only speaking louder than others around us, there were long pauses between his observations, and he responded to shushing. He'd just forget to speak quietly when he saw something else that excited him. Plus there were adults on the plane who were louder than him. Bodhi was actually being so cooperative that he'd repeat the instructions that were said over the loudspeaker: "Now, it's time to fasten our seatbelts." and "Time to put away your phone, mommy."
I think the couple behind us was just having a bad day, and the guy was just being crotchety. Then again, I am running on only 2 hours of sleep myself (or 20 hours total since last Wednesday) so maybe I could have been a little less snarly towards them. The guys was way out of line, though. There's a huge difference between what he was doing, and respectfully asking if there was anything more we could do to get B to lower his voice.
I actually remember being Bodhi's age in a restaurant, and a crotchety old man coming up to me, yelling at me for being too loud. I was so scared of him, he made me cry, and my mom was really passive in that situation; I think she laughed nervously and let the man berate me. In a way, I'm glad Bodhi witnessed me sticking up for him. He did have a sense of what the whole exchange was all about, and I'd hate for him to remember it the way I remember my similar incident.
