Jan's Master Class--SYMBOLISM
These lessons, by one of our most consistent FaithWriters' Challenge Champions, should not be missed. So we're making a permanent home for them here.

I move the metal detector slowly over the ground, finally hearing a faint beep. I move it in circles until I find the loudest tone, which is still quite faint. Placing my toe on that point, I pull a trowel from my tool belt, stoop, and commence digging. Each scoop of sand is run through the strainer on my right, making an increasing mound as the hole deepens and broadens. After some minutes, something clinks in the sieve, which I peer at through a magnifying glass. Setting sieve and glass to one side, I move the detector in and around the hole. It makes no more sound, and I am disappointed that I have expended such effort, not only finding nothing of value, but not even something recognizable.

Carol, thanks for the heads-up on 'Hodie'--I'd stopped at 'Lo How a Rose".
I love your linked story, and appreciate so much that it had both symbolism and irony. I'm a HUGE fan of irony!

Steve, I'd like to hear more about symbolism (or its lack) in parables.
So, are you anti-symbolism, then?

Hmmmm, Holly. Is the paragraph symbolic of the wasted effort we expend in pursuing worthless pursuits?
This might be a good example of what Carol and Steve and I mentioned earlier--who owns a piece of writing, the author or the reader? Because what if you have a completely different intent in this passage, and I just didn't see it because I'm fried from a hard day at work?
Something to think about...

Re: Jan's Master Class--SYMBOLISM
I needed to write my WC entry this week with a touch of symbolism, mostly because I was wrestling with the topic. The concept of the kingdom of God seemed very deep for my wee little brain, so I tried to dive into it wearing my water wings - allegory (but that's stretching at a metaphor right?).
I won't post it, just wanted to answer your question from my perspective. I used symbolism there because my mind was working through a difficult concept and thought it would be easier for the reader to follow me through symbols - does that make sense?

Excellent, Di! Thanks for the input. Make sure to direct us toward the entry (or at least a clip of it) once hinting has started!

"Hmmmm, Holly. Is the paragraph symbolic of the wasted effort we expend in pursuing worthless pursuits?"
Yes! Specifically digging for symbolism in otherwise enjoyable literature. How many people who would have enjoyed reading have been turned off to it by being compelled to dissect the required reading in English class? In my opinion, only the author is qualified to define whether or not there is meaning beyond that which is overt.

I really appreciate the comments on my entry in the challenge this week, symbolizing the Kingdom of Heaven in my heart, very early in Masters.

What other reasons can you come up with for adding symbolism to your stories or poems?
1: Sometimes we want the reader to have to think about the story and its meaning, instead of spelling it out. Used properly, it can give a mundane piece a much more literary atmosphere.
2: Sometimes what we try to symbolize is too graphic, or too cliche, or simply "too close to home" to put right out there in literal terms; using symbolism can create a certain distance or closeness to its literal counterpart, without being offensive, crass or just plain boring.
As far as what Steve mentioned about others interpreting or OVER interpreting, I have struggled with this issue (but not about the parables). I know what I intended when I write something, and it always amazes me when others draw something else from it. This can get sticky when their interpretation is in stark contrast to my intent.
I have an example below in my signature:
Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Suess) did not ever intend on "Horton Hears A Who" to be a pro-life analogy. He--and then his wife after his death--have fought the use of the book (or quotes from it) in the pro-life arena...
But if you read it or watch the movie, it is almost IMPOSSIBLE to not make the connection. Intended or not, a story about unseen people being destroyed by those who can't see or hear them, parallels with society's abortion dilemma. "A person's a person, no matter how small."
As far as using symbolism in my own work, it's not something I use a lot, and I am grateful for these classes to differentiate between symbolism and metaphor. The WC piece that I saturated with both is The Stalker's Curse. I'll dissect it as I intended it, but it was clear from my comments that others interpreted the symbolism slightly different, but not in a way that changes the context...
My stalker looms outside my window. Though he evades my sight, I sense his menacing presence. My peripheral vision catches just a glimpse, but all that remains when I look is the circle of fog on the pane from his stale, sulfur breath. I hum a hymn, and the stalker flees.
After three days of rain, the hymns and prayers can no longer keep him at bay. The stench of my stalker wafts under my door. Alas, I no longer have the strength to fight him. The downward spiral begins. This curse—this genetic shrapnel—is like a thistle spur in my shoe; I am unaware of its existence until I lean on it just so. The searing pain brings me to my knees. My stalker delights in irritating the shrapnel, until the wound is a festering boil, abscessed and pustulant. I curse this curse. I curse the rain.
A weeping willow is my family tree. This same stalker had preyed upon its weary branches—bending them low—bruising their tender flesh. He infiltrates the deepest roots with a slow, rotting disease, and then ecstatically watches the malignant splotches spread to its furthest leaves.
the stalker=Satan
window/door=my spirit/mind
the curse, the shrapnel, the thistle spur=depression (some interpreted this as alcoholism, but that was actually a metaphor later in the piece...his [the stalker's] poisoned apple, drenched in double malt whiskey.
weeping willow=family tree/history of depression
This is my most "coded" work to date...but I don't think it would have had the same emotional responses by the readers if I would of just told the same story in a more literal fashion...kwim?

Chely, I remember that piece VERY well...it's one of your most moving. And I think it's because of it's "coding" that it is so very powerful.
Interesting about the Seuss stuff--I had no idea.
I love to have a few more people weigh in on the 'ownership' of a piece of writing. Does it mean only what the author meant it to mean? Or does it mean what the reader thinks it means?
Perhaps a little bit of both?

1) Frost
as symbols often do, all the concepts stand for themselves as well as something else. (actually, I'm thinking there is one word for a symbol sort of a thing that stands for itself as well as a bigger concept, and a different word for something that stands only for the concept, but I cannot remember the two words... help?)
"miles to go" can represent any task or journey, especially an ongoing task which might symbolically be called a journey (which is in vogue at present).
"woods" is harder... it would be hard for me to think of it as representing sleep because there isn't a farmhouse near, except that the chorus mentions sleep. But it could represent relaxation or play (watching them fill up with snow seems to be entertaining), the former of which could include sleep. I don't like the suicide theory and I don't think it fits, because the owner of the woods "will not mind me stopping here/ To watch his woods fill up with snow", and because the major objection is having things to do (usually people who commit suicide don't have a sense of connectedness and neededness and oughtness that goes along with having things to do) and watching the snow seems to be to be something that will be appropriate after the journey has been completed, and is appropriate as a brief break from the journey.
2) Hawthorne
The letter represents the personal shame and the enduring social stigma of sin, but the fancy, even gaudy, embroidery of it represents rebellion against the law which teaches that sin is wrong (and probably also against the idea that some sin is more punishable than other sin).
I like what the others said about the irony of hiding the letter behind Pearl.
5) Ackerson, Stolen
"mother"--herself and also home, comfort, love, safety, etc.
bleeding lip--difficulty of circumstance, resiliance, harsh treatment, weeping
bird--a bad omen, and with its flapping (after the caw), the uselessnes of resistance, the silence of that uselessness, and perhaps vanity (uselessness) in general
this just from the snippet, so I could be way off... going to read the whole thing later.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." ~ John 1: 1, 14
I've got to say here, that in addition to having some extremely intelligent things to say about symbols and their interpretation, you have also deomnstrated your superior intellect by treating 'Ackerson' just like 'Frost' and 'Hawthonre'.

No, not anti-symbol. Just anti-deconstructionism. I do think that we can be personally persuaded that symbolism exists where it doesn't and that that can either enhance or diminish ENJOYMENT of a piece. But I do not believe that imagined symbolism can help us UNDERSTAND a piece nor to PROPERLY INTERPRET it as an act of criticism.
I also think that we can use something in a book to make an analogy, but that is an independent issue of whether the author intended it. It is interesting that Chely mentioned Dr. Seuss in this regard. I once gave a talk (to "Religious Right activists" and fellow travelers, including those who were looking for ways to make the issue resonate with soccer moms) in which I used the pink mess from The Cat and the Hat Comes Back as an analogy for our efforts to fight the homosexual agenda. I said that no matter what efforts me made, things seemed to get worse and worse—pinker and pinker (as in the pink triangle). What we need, I told my audience, is a VOOM solution—a Federal Marriage Amendment. I'M SURE DR. SEUSS WOULD BE THRILLED! (By the way, please don't take this thread political—I am just illustrating what we can do with the work of others.)
Now how absurd it would be for me to say that is what Dr. Seuss intended or that this is the true interpretation of the Cat and the Hat Comes Back. Yet deconstructionists do things like this all the time. I don't believe that we can go part way down the path. I we say the reader controls the piece, what limiting principles can possibly exist to say our interpretation –which of course WE will always think is reasonable—can be permitted, but the next person's can't—which we might find bizarre, but THAT PERSON thinks is reasonable.
OK, new, item: I also believe that an author can put symbolism in a piece and then forget that he (he = common gender, not masculine) did so or at least what it represented. The story is told that Don McLean has forgotten much of the symbolism that he put in his song American Pie. I have no idea whether the story is true, but I find it believable. That leads to the interesting dilemma that everyone knows there is symbolism in a piece but no one may know what it means!
I think I may have already done that with my novel. I have a recollection of planting a symbol or two in the novel and can't recall what it was. I'm afraid I may not even spot it on the next read through!
Now, the parables. A few parables are clearly allegorical and we know this because Jesus explains what each symbol represents. For example, in the parable of the sower (Matt. 13) Jesus explains:
Similarly, (same Chapter) Jesus explains the parable of the weeds:
But the current conventional wisdom (which was "floated" during the Reformation, but only captured the field around 1900) is that unless Jesus explains that a parable is allegorical, we should not (or should only seldomly with great caution) interpret it as an allegory. We should only look for a main point, e.g., the gradual growth of the Kingdom, the value of the Kingdom, the cost of discipleship.
At an early stage in Church history and continuing for the better part of two millennia, not only were all parables interpreted allegorically, but the things supposedly symbolized were often then-contemporary events, people, institutions, etc., although sometimes the interpretation was done with an eye to otherwise ascertainable biblical truths.
In the first category were many of the items that the Reformation rejected, e.g., purgatory, preference for fish, Mary's sinlessness. In the latter category is Origen's interpretation of the parable of the Good Samaritan: The man who was going down is Adam. Jerusalem is paradise, and Jericho is the world. The robbers are hostile powers. The priest is the Law, the Levite is the prophets, and the Samaritan is Christ. The wounds are disobedience, the beast is the Lord's body, the [inn], which accepts all who wish to enter, is the Church. … The manager of the [inn] is the head of the Church, to whom its care has been entrusted. And the fact that the Samaritan promises he will return represents the Savior's second coming.
The closest thing to symbolism (at least that I can remember!) in one of my entries is the bonsai techniques and shapes in Tricks of the Trade. In the piece, I actually called the bonsai techniques and shapes a metaphor, but what I did with it is not that different from the scarlet A in the Scarlet Letter. In all of Jan's other examples, the symbolism is symbolism directed at the READER. The scarlet A is symbolism directed at the CHARACTERS. Similarly, my symbolism/metaphor was directed at my character, Agent 2317. Of course, when you do this, it is put in front of the reader, as well.
"When the Round Table is broken every man must follow Galahad or Mordred; middle
things are gone." C.S. Lewis
"The chief purpose of life … is to increase according to our capacity our knowledge of God by all the means we have, and to be moved by it to praise and thanks. To do as we say in the Gloria in Excelsis ... We praise you, we call you holy, we worship you, we proclaim your glory, we thank you for the greatness of your splendor." J.R.R. Tolkien
I'm sorry! I can't resist jumping into this discussion again–-but I'll try to be brief!
Thanks, Steve, for standing firmly against deconstructionism! I can understand why writers often say that their published works belong to their readers. We want to move, inspire, entertain or inform those who read what we write. But postmodern literary criticism has taken this to an extreme, favoring tortured reader-response theories... theories that view great literary works of the past through a modern socio-political lens, for example.
So many works are rich with symbolism and meaning that we must probe beneath the surface to find. I think it's possible and valid to discover symbolism in a work that the author placed there unconsciously, or perhaps forgot about it. We just need to be sure that we don't carry this too far!
All right... I guess it's time to confess the youthful indiscretion that I resisted sharing in my earlier post. Once, when was I was in graduate school, I shared an office with a rather humorless feminist. (My sincere apologies to any feminists reading this, and no offense intended!) Anyway, I wrote a parody of a feminist critique of Frost's "Stopping by the Woods." I thought it was quite funny, and shared it with my office mate, who said–-without cracking a smile-– "This is very good. You should send it to a journal."
The sober lesson I learned from this is that it's possible–-but neither advisable nor admirable--for a reader to impose an outlandishly ridiculous meaning upon a text. As a wise professor once said (to the amazement of a roomful of English majors!): "It is actually possible to make a claim about a work of literature that is wrong."

December 2015 Communities that implemented Life Skills Training in a trial more than recouped its cost in reduced health, social, and other expenditures related to teen prescription opioid misuse.
May 2014 One out of every 143 U.S. patients who received a prescription for an opioid painkiller in 2008 obtained prescriptions from multiple physicians in a pattern that suggests misuse or abuse of the drugs.
April 2014 Almost one-third (32 percent) of the roughly 42,000 Monitoring the Future survey respondents reported having used marijuana during their lifetime. However, abuse of many other drugs—methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine, and some prescription medications—declined.
July 2013 Researchers found that 1 in 8 high school seniors had used a prescription opioid nonmedically, and 70 percent of these teens had compounded the attendant risk by co-ingesting an opioid with one or more other drugs. Nonmedical opioid use was significantly more prevalent among whites than among African Americans or Hispanics.
May 2013 A new vaccine hindered the often-abused prescription opioids oxycodone and hydrocodone from entering the brain and suppressed one of the drugs' signature central nervous system effects. The findings warrant continued development of the vaccine as a potential aid in the treatment of oxycodone and hydrocodone abuse and dependence.
March 2013 People who use prescription opiates nonmedically are more likely to consider suicide than those who use these medications only appropriately or not at all. A recent NIDA-supported study also disclosed that the risk for suicidal thoughts remains elevated after cessation of use.
February 2013 Fewer teens are using cigarettes, alcohol, and most illicit drugs, according to NIDA's latest Monitoring the Future study. Troubling trends persist in marijuana use, however, and nonmedical prescription drug use remains a concern.
November 2012 NIDA Program Officer Dr. David Thomas speaks about the intertwined problems of pain and prescription opioid abuse, as well as the research supported by NIDA and the National Institutes of Health to address these problems.
September 2012 Researchers report a significant advance in the search for medications that can suppress pain but avoid opioids' abuse potential and other undesirable CNS effects. A new compound reduces mouse responses in animal models of neurogenic and chronic inflammatory (e.g., arthritic) pain. The compound, called UB937, enhances the natural pain-killing activity of the neurotransmitter anandamide, and exerts its analgesic effects entirely in peripheral tissues, without entering the brain.
July 2012 Fewer than 12 percent of adolescents who meet diagnostic criteria for prescription opioid abuse or dependence receive any treatment, according to an analysis of data from the 2005 to 2008 National Survey on Drug Use and Health. The most common reason the adolescents gave for not receiving treatment was their lack of perceived need for it.

DALLAS (AP) — Texas' prison system does not have to reveal where it gets its execution drugs, the state attorney general's office said Thursday, marking a reversal by the state's top prosecutor on an issue being challenged in several death penalty states.
Under Greg Abbott, who is also the Republican nominee for governor in the nation's busiest death penalty state, the Texas Attorney General's Office had since 2010 rejected three similar attempts by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice to keep secret its source of the drugs used to carry out lethal injections.
But on Thursday, Abbott's office sided with state prison officials who said their supplier would be in danger if identified, citing a "threat assessment" signed by Texas Department of Public Safety director Steven McCraw.
The assessment, a one-page letter dated March 7, said pharmacies "by design are easily accessible to the public and present a soft target to violent attacks." He added that naming a pharmacy supplying execution drugs "presents a substantial threat of physical harm ... and should be avoided to the greatest extent possible."
Abbott's decision came the same day Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster said his state should consider creating its own laboratory to make execution drugs rather than relying on "uneasy cooperation" with outside suppliers. A state-operated lab would be a first, and it wasn't immediately clear if Missouri could open such a lab without approval from lawmakers.
Missouri and Texas are among death penalty states that contend the compounding pharmacies providing them with execution drugs must remain secret in order to protect the suppliers from threats of violence. Lawyers for death row inmates say they need the information to verify the drugs' potency and protect inmates from unconstitutionally cruel and unusual punishment.
Courts — including the U.S. Supreme Court — have yet to halt an execution based on a state's refusal to reveal its drug supplier. The secrecy argument also was used ahead of a bungled execution last month in Oklahoma, though that inmate's faulty veins, not the execution drug, were cited as the likely culprit of the problems there.
Unlike some states, Texas law doesn't specifically say whether prison officials must disclose where they buy lethal injection drugs. The opinion from Abbott's office Thursday cites the threat assessment as the justification for doing so, saying that "in this instance and when analyzing the probability of harm, this office must defer to the representations of DPS, the law enforcement experts charged with assessing threats to public safety."
Prison officials in Texas have previously provided little public evidence to support their claim that its execution drug supplier would be in danger if identified.
State and local law enforcement, including a spokesman for the Department of Public Safety, said last month they were not investigating any threats against a Houston-area compounding pharmacy previously identified as the state's execution supplier.
The pharmacy's owner had complained of "constant inquiries from the press, the hate mail and messages," and the DPS assessment released Thursday said some of the threats made against that pharmacy "should be taken seriously." It does not say why, and a spokesman for the agency did not immediately return a message Thursday night asking if those threats are now under investigation.
In Missouri, Koster said that he believes his state's Legislature "should remove market-driven participants and pressures from the system and appropriate funds to establish a state-operated, DEA-licensed laboratory to produce the execution chemicals in our state," according to a transcript provided by his office.
Earlier this month, The Associated Press and four other news organizations filed a lawsuit against the Missouri Department of Corrections, claiming the state's refusal to provide information on the execution drug violates the public's constitutional right to have access to information about the punishment.
Death penalty states have been scrambling to find new sources of drugs after several drugmakers, including many based in Europe, refused to sell drugs for use in lethal injections. That's led several states to compounding pharmacies, which are not as heavily regulated by the Food and Drug Administration as conventional pharmacies.
Abbott's decision is expected to be appealed and could eventually land before the Texas Supreme Court. A prominent Texas defense attorney, Maurie Levin, called Abbott's decision "deeply disturbing and frankly quite shocking."
"Serious questions surround this about-face, including why our attorney general, who once championed transparency, is suddenly now supporting secretive government practices," Levin said in a statement.

Berkshire School opens $20M science center
SHEFFIELD -- Acclaimed science writer and Yale University lecturer Carl Zimmer informed his audience that high school and college students across the country are hunting viruses. Now, Berk shire School is now equipped to join the quest.
On Friday, the school formally dedicated its new $20 million project as the Bellas/Dixon Math and Science Center during a campus-wide ceremony, with Zimmer de livering the keynote address.
The center's namesakes are two former teachers, Rick Bellas and Tom Dixon, known for advancing the use of technology and science at Berkshire School, respectively.
Among its other functions, the center is home to the preparatory school's Advanced Math/Science Research program. It is headed by new director, April Burch, who specializes in the study of viruses of bacteria, and she will enlist Berk shire School's students to aid in her research.
"Math and science is imperative in the world we live in today," said Michael J. Maher, head of Berk shire School during the dedication ceremony.
He said the goal is for the center to enable 21st-century students at the school to go further, look deeper and understand more about the world around them.
"I enjoy the center so much. It's one of the reasons I came to Berkshire," junior Elif Kesaf of Turkey told The Eagle, after getting two books signed by Zimmer. She is also a student in the Advanced Math/Science Research program.
"To be in high school and be able to do college-level research is a great opportunity. I'm looking forward to phage hunting," she said, using a term for searching for bacteriophages, or viruses, many of which are not harmful.
The Bellas/Dixon Math and Sci ence Center is a 48,000-square-foot combination of campus legacy, sustainability and modern architectural marvel.
It contains six math classrooms, eight science classroom/laboratories, a 100-seat teaching auditorium, department offices an the Advanced Math/Science Research Lab, equipped with state-of-the-art research tools and technologies. The building increased the amount of space devoted to math and science study by 129 percent.
The math and science classrooms were formerly located in Berkshire Hall. The vacated space is in the process of being transformed into a new art studio space and gallery.
The new math and science center took about a year to build and stands in the footprint of Memorial Hall, which was constructed in 1919, and the adjoining Glenny House. Together, they served as the heart of the school for many years, according to Lucia Mulder, director of communications for Berk shire School.
Today, salvaged wood from Memorial Hall has been re-purposed in the vestibules of the new center. Designed by Centerbrook Architects and Planners of Con necticut, the center is LEED (Leadership in Energy and Envi ronmental Design) Gold certified.
Other sustainable features in clude expansive glass walls and skylights which utilize natural light; a terraced landscape featuring native flora, outdoor classroom space and bioswales made to filter runoff. A clean-burning wood pellet biomass boiler generates hot water heat to minimize fuel oil use, and a construction phase waste management plan was reported to reduce the building's carbon footprint by diverting 81 percent of waste from landfills and incinerators.
"It's very current and timely," said Swetha Kodali, a Berkshire School senior from New Jersey.
The center, along with the school's recently installed eight-acre solar field emphasizes the school's practice of environmental sustainability.

Nazi-Destroyed Jewish Cemetery Will Be Rebuilt BONN (JTA) - The Adass Israel cemetery in East Berlin almost completely de-' stroyed by the Nazis, will be rebuilt at the direct orders of East German leader Eric Honecker. More than 100 persons, including survivors of the original Adass Israel congregation, attended ceremonies last week rededicating the burial ground. They were told by Klaus Gist, the minister in charge of religious affairs, that his government is committed to perpetuating the memory of Jewish life in Germany. Honecker's attention was drawn to the cemetery by Mario Offenberg, an Israeli who has recorded the history of the local Jewish community. Heinrich Fink, an East German theologian, said students of the Von Humboldt University in East Berlin have volunteered to do maintenance work at the cemetery once it is restored. The Orthodox Adass Israel congregation has been criticized by the larger Jewish community in East Berlin for going directly to the government to rehabilitate the cemetery.

Thue 7-2 decision overturned a Louisiana state statute which gave equal classroom time and equal space in textbooks to the teaching of evolution and creationist theories. The court ruled that creationist teaching in public schools was unconstitutional because it was construed as teaching for religious purposes.

"The ruling sends a clear signal to public school officials that they have an obligation to maintain the secular nature of the school system — they can't make their own religious agenda," said,Marc Stern, American Jewish Congress director of legal affairs. AJCongress, the American Jewish Committee and Anti- Defamation League of B'nai B'rith all filed amicus curiae (friend-of-the-court) briefs urging the Supreme Court to , ban teaching of creationism in public schools, ADL national chairman Burton Levinson called the ruling "a tremendous victory for separation of church and state." The decision reconfirms the First Amendment prohibition on religious instruction in public schools, Levinson said. The losers in the Supreme Court decision, said Stern, are primarily segments of the Evangelical Christian movement who have founded creationist think-tanks in department." In his final remarks as President, Ron Blank reminded the board that "... the agency had grown remarkably in the past four years." He stressed that "... the number of people served has multiplied, "but that the staff had not grown rapidly enough. Staff productivity had increased which had allowed for more people to be served," Epstein accepted the challenges of growth in his presidential' acceptance speech. He challenged all funding sources as well as the Board "... for the need to examine a long range plan of resource development." He went on further to emphasize that "JFS can no longer be seen as the little agency in a corner of the Melton Building, but with its growth in clinical and vocational services, as well as the development of Shalom House, JFS is now part of the 'big four.' on the Jewish community campus, the Federation, the Leo Yassenoff Jewish Center and (CONTINUED ON PAGE 13) WASHINGTON (JTA) - The 40th anniversary of the establishment of the State of Israel will be marked by a year-long celebration in Israel and the United States starting in September. "The birthday celebration of Israel will be the biggest, largest birthday party ever," Asher Nairn, Minister for Information at the Israel Embassy here; told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. Nairn spoke excitedly about the plans which he is coordinating to include every Jewish federation, organization, synagogue and Jewish school, as well as the non-Jewish community. The American Jewish community is eager to.participate, .according to Nairn. "The response everywhere has been, 'Oh yes, let's do the best,' " he added. "I'm so happy." Howard Squadron, former Chairman of the Conference ■b'jf! Presidents'■', of Major American Jewish Organizations, is head of the U.S. National Committee for the 40th Anniversary, which is under the auspices of the Presidents Conference, the National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council and the Council of Jewish Federations. The 40th anniversary will be a major "milestone" "in Israel's history since "40 years in Jewish tradition is a generation," Nairn noted. He pointed to the wandering of the Jewish people for 40 years in the Sinai before they could go to the Land of Israel. For this reason, the celebration is particularly aimed at those 40 and under, who were born and brought up after the establishment of the Jewish state, Nairn said. The year-long celebration of the anniversary will stress that "Israel is not like any other country, it has a message, a purpose," Nairn said. "Israel is today, more than the Jewish religion, the unifying factor for the Jewish people." "No matter if we sometimes falter, if we make mistakes," Israel still seeks to achieve the principles set forth in its Declaration of Independence, Nairn said. In Israel, the anniversary will be marked by a "recommitment" to the Declaration of Independence. All Israelis will be asked to sign the Declaration, so that particularly the 40 and under generation there will feel part of the principles enunciated by their parents, Nairn stressed. Another major goal is to bring the largest number of American tourists ever to Israel. Nairn said most American Jews have not visited Israel, and this is particularly true of those 40 and under. Israel wants to stress three major themes during the anniversary celebration in the U.S., Nairn said. "The first and foremost is" the increasing connection between 'Am Yisrael' and 'Eretz Yis- rael,' between the Jewish people and the Land," he said. "The Land could only have been redeemed when the Jews came to the Land. The Jews could be redeemed only by the State of Israel." Secondly, "we want to show what Israel has achieved in the last 40 years," Nairn said. "We believe we have achieved miracles," the. ingathering of Jews from throughout the (CONTINUED ON PAGE .11, Tifereth Israel Appoints Rabbi Leonard Gordon Dr. - L.

Breyers Blasts! Banana Split and Golden Oreo Cookies & Cream - These two new flavors in Breyers' goodie-packed ice cream line aren't billed as light, but the stats are totally impressive! And the taste? HEAD-EXPLODINGLY GOOD. Each 1/2-cup serving has 140 calories, 4.5g fat, 50 - 65mg sodium, 23g carbs, 0 - <1g fiber, 14 - 18g sugars, and 2g protein (PointsPlus® value 4*). Heads up: Not every flavor in the Breyers Blasts! line is guilt-free, so read those labels carefully!
Mom Made Bites Bite-Size Turkey Meatballs - Why are miniature foods so much fun? We don't know, but they are, and these li'l guys prove it. You get 9 meatballs for 140 calories, 4g fat, 135mg sodium, 9g carbs, 0g fiber, 1g sugars, and 17g protein (PointsPlus® value 4*). We got a sneak taste of these a while back and fell in love, so we're stoked that they're now in the freezer aisles of select supermarkets and natural-food stores nationwide. Get 'em!
Good Health Natural Foods Veggie Stix - Not all veggie crisps are guilt-free and delicious, but these crunchy sticks are! In Original, Hot, and... wait for it... PIZZA, each 1-oz. serving has 130 calories, 4.5 - 5g fat, 260 - 380mg sodium, 18 - 20g carbs, 0g fiber, 0 - 1g sugars, and 1g protein (PointsPlus® value 3*). We wouldn't suggest giving up fresh veggies for these, but they do make a great potato chip swap. Find 'em in select supermarkets and health-food stores nationwide, or order some online. Pssst... Look for the single-serve packs!
Vitalicious VitaPizza Is On the Way!
Take everything you love about VitaTops -- low calorie and fat counts, natural ingredients, portion control, deliciousness, and a gigantic amount of fiber -- and apply it to pizza. What've you got? VITAPIZZA! That's right; Vitalicious is getting into the pizza game! In Cheese & Tomato and Meatless Pepperoni Supreme, each individually sized frozen pizza has 190 calories, 2.5 - 3g fat, 460 - 490mg sodium, 38g carbs, 19g fiber (!!!), 4g sugars, and 15 - 16g protein (PointsPlus® value 5*). VitaPizzas won't officially debut until the fall, but we wanted you to be the FIRST to know. They'll launch with online availability before rolling out into stores. We're so excited... AAAAAAAHHH!!!
Coming Soon... Yoplait Greek 100 Yogurt (Weight Watchers Endorsed)!
This is HUGE. Not only has Yoplait Greek yogurt been reformulated to taste better than ever, but also it'll soon be available in 100-calorie containers with the official PointsPlus® value right on the label! Yoplait Greek 100 comes in SIX flavors, each with twice as much protein as ordinary yogurt, no fat, and a PointsPlus® value of 2 per 5.3-oz. container. And here's some more great Yoplait news: Soon all 6-oz. containers of Yoplait Light (excluding Thick & Creamy and Granola varieties) will be emblazoned with their official PointsPlus® value of 2! Look for Weight Watchers endorsed Yoplait Light and Yoplait Greek 100 on store shelves next month.
Star Candle Company Candles - This company makes candles that smell like candy and cookies. And not just any candy and cookies -- Skittles, M&M'S, and Pepperidge Farm cookies. YEAH. We can't wait to infuse our rooms with the scent of Double Chocolate Milanos. We just hope it won't cause our willpower around the actual treats to go up in flames...
Flavorlopes - Willy Wonka would be proud of these fun flavored envelopes! There aren't any snozberry Flavorlopes, but there are various fruity flavors, plus seasonal varieties like Candy Corn, Pumpkin Spice, and Egg Nog... Sending out those long overdue thank-you cards never sounded so appealing!
Ice Cream Lamp - O.M.H.G. (Oh My, Hungry Girl!) How cute is this?! We can't imagine being in a bad mood with a giant ice cream cone lighting up our lives. This lamp stands at over two feet tall, and you can get it in Vanilla, Chocolate, or Strawberry. (Colors, that is. Do not lick the lamp.) Fun, fun, fun!
Here's one more reason to heart Subway: The sandwich shop is the first national restaurant chain to get the American Heart Association's new Heart-Check Meal Certification for select menu items! The Heart-Check mark will be on Fresh Fit meals that pair 6-inch subs with apple slices and water. Fresh Fit for Kids meals with apple slices and low-fat milk also qualify, along with a selection of salad-based meals. Yay! ***Summer fruit just got more appealing... Recent research shows that peaches, plums, and nectarines contain compounds that may help fight obesity-related diseases. Apparently, the bioactive phenolic compounds have anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic properties, and they may reduce LDL cholesterol oxidation associated with heart disease. We don't need a scientific explanation to persuade us to eat delicious fruit, but it doesn't hurt! ***America has voted, and the results are in. The most popular ice cream flavor is... VANILLA! Chocolate chip mint and cookies 'n cream tied for second place. Better luck next time, strawberry... ***If you think fasting or skipping meals leads to diet success, you might want to keep reading. In a recent study, participants who fasted were more likely to reach for high-calorie starchy foods than veggies or protein after finishing their fasts. Female fasters were even more likely than the men to turn to starches. Go figure... ***Great idea from the world of vending machines: Seattle's Best Coffee Hot Drink Centers are rolling out this summer! Not such a great idea? Pizza vending machines. And that's all we've got. HG out!

Sounds like more stress than it's worth for both you and baby! I co-sleep, so I've resigned myself to no nights out past 7pm for as long as it takes I can't imagine how she'd sleep w/o mommy
Anyway, I scald everyday after work. I use a small saucepan, my electric thermometer, turn the gas stove to 4 (medium?) and stir constantly until it hits 180 deg. I give it a few swirls in the pot to cool it without clotting, then pour back into the containers and put them in the fridge to cool (and before putting in the freezer on the weekend). The milk has no smell. Baby likes it just fine! I haven't tested it's fridge-life, tho.
Good luck!

Assassin's Creed 3 hits PC this week, new trailer
Assassin's Creed 3 is about to hit PC worldwide, and to prepare the minds of the Master Race for this event, Ubisoft has released a particularly lovely new trailer.
The third numbered entry (but fifth major release) in the Assassin's Creed franchise arrived on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in October, and accompanies the Wii U at launch. Joystiq reports the action adventure unlocks on the US arm of Steam today, but we in Australia must wait patiently till tomorrow. The PC version will ship with all patches so far, which is quite a substantial update.
Assassin's Creed 3 apparently sold over 3.5 million units in its first week, topped the UK charts, and received generally favourable reviews, although Dave was a little disappointed in it.

LEOMINSTER — With only a few days until the casino referendum vote, supporters and opponents of a slots casino in the city packed Monument Square hoping to win over undecided voters.
For supporters, who outnumbered opponents at least 3-1, it was a chance to reinforce their sentiment that a casino built on Jungle Road near the intersection of I-190 and Route 117, would mean jobs and revenue for the city.
Opponents hoped to highlight their concerns that a casino would mean more traffic and increases in crime and alcohol and gambling addictions.
The referendum vote will be held Tuesday, with voting from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. The vote is needed for PPE Casino Resorts MA to move forward with its plan to build a 1,250-slot-machine casino. The corporation formed to develop the casino for the Cordish Cos. of Baltimore. Should the casino win support of voters in Leominster, the next step would be to make a final application to the Massachusetts Gaming Commission by Oct. 4. The Leominster proposal is one of three seeking a single slots-only casino license in the state. The other two casinos are proposed for Raynham and Plainville. The commission is expected to make a decision in December.
Arline Stith, co-chairman of No Slots in Leominster, and her supporters gathered at 9 a.m. in Monument Square, setting up on the edge of Monument Park, on traffic islands and intersections to show their opposition to the plan. Her group was followed an hour later by a large group of casino supporters.
"This has to do with preserving the character of Leominster," Mrs. Stith said. "Once the slot casino comes in, it changes us forever."
Mrs. Stith, who said she has never been involved with politics like this before, said her major concerns are increased traffic, crime and the loss of property values. She said she also worries about increased gambling addiction.
Standing across the road from Mrs. Stith was Cheryl Brow. Mrs. Brow said she gambles occasionally, but what is important to her is the casino will bring in 600 construction jobs and an equal number of permanent jobs.
"I think it is a good thing for Leominster," she said.
Mrs. Brow added that she would rather see local residents spending their gambling money in Leominster rather than traveling to the Mohegan Sun or Foxwoods casinos in Connecticut.
"We should keep it local," she said.
Rebecca Rice said she is also excited by the possibility of more money coming to the city. The agreement between the casino developers and the city is for a minimum of $3.8 million per year, broken down to $1 million in taxes per year, a figure that will increase 2.5 percent each year. The casino will also pay a $100,000 impact fee and a community benefit payment of $2.7 million.
The company would also give the city an unrestricted grant of $250,000 before the start of construction.
Ms. Rice said potential traffic increases from the casino are of no concern to her.
"I drive by there every morning to go to work," she said. "I'm not concerned at all."
Standing together on Main Street, Tyler Crawford and Lynn Percoco agreed the one thing that attracts them to support the casino is the idea of jobs.
"It's going to bring a lot of jobs to Leominster," Mr. Crawford said.
Bob Audlee of North Leominster said he would not visit the casino if it was built and does not believe it will be good for the city. He said the financial benefit to Leominster will be limited.
"It will be small or an unmitigated disaster," he said.
Mr. Audlee said he believes the casino will give the community money but will take the money back through gambling losses from people who can least afford it.
"These are people who don't have gas money to get to Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun," he said.
Douglas Hancock also opposes the casino and gambling in general.
"It's all fun and games until you have a relative sleeping in a car because of a gambling addiction," he said. "It will degrade our way of life to have a casino in town."
The casino has received support from many of the city's leaders, including Mayor Dean Mazzarella, state Sen. Jennifer Flanagan, D-Leominster, and state Rep. Dennis Rosa, D-Leominster. Mr. Rosa was at the rally Saturday along with Police Chief Robert Healey and Fire Chief Robert Sideleau II. The city police, fire and public works unions have endorsed the casino. The casino also received strong support at the rally from members of local building trades unions.
The casino effort also got a boost Saturday from David Cordish, president of the Cordish Cos. Mr. Cordish went door-to-door in several neighborhoods speaking with residents. In one high-end neighborhood near the casino site on Jungle Road, he said he found no one who strongly opposed the casino.
"The support was overwhelming," he said.
Mr. Cordish, 73, said two people were initially on the fence when he spoke to them. One woman said she was undecided, but after he said the casino would be providing money to charities, she indicated she was more likely to vote for the casino. He said he believes he won over support of the other person as well, after answering several concerns the man had.
The casino effort has had many workers out promoting the project over the past month, but Mr. Cordish said it was important for him to be there as well. He said Cordish Cos. is a family owned business that has employed four generations of his family. He said he wants residents to know him and know they can expect stability from his company and a real person to contact if they have suggestions in the future.
The company still needs to forge impact agreements with communities contiguous to Leominster, but Mr. Cordish said those communities will not be negatively affected.
"The truth is we will have zero impact on other communities other than positive," he said.
But Mr. Cordish said his company will meet with all the nearby communities to talk about impacts.
"I am sure it will all work out with them," he said.
Mr. Cordish's estimate of limited impact was backed up by a study released this week by B&S Consulting that showed little significant negative impact from a casino being built in the city. The report also indicates the casino would add between $50 million to $60 million to the local economy through employee wages and goods and services purchased locally.

AMSTERDAM (AP) — Positive economic news from the European Central Bank and Germany, combined with promises of more monetary easing in Japan, helped stock indexes in those countries lead most markets around the world higher Friday.
U.S. stocks rose in early trading, helped by a strong quarterly earnings report from Procter & Gamble.
In Japan, stocks were galvanized by a further drop in the value of the yen, which is expected to help big exporters like Sony. The Nikkei index surged 2.9 percent to 10,926.67, its highest close since April 30, 2010.
The European Central Bank announced Friday that banks were expected to pay back emergency loans at a faster-than-expected clip, implying that the outlook is improving or the likelihood of disaster scenarios is receding. At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, ECB President Mario Draghi repeated the continent's economy appears to be stabilizing and he expects recovery later this year.
Meanwhile, in Germany, business sentiment as measured by the Ifo index rose to its highest level since June, as executives said order backlogs are rising.
The Ifo report "nicely illustrates the green shoots in the German economy," said ING senior economist Carsten Brzeski in Brussels.
"Even if the current harsh winter weather might delay the blossoming somewhat, growth should return, leaving the contraction of the fourth quarter quickly behind."
Germany's DAX ended Friday 1.42 percent higher at 7,857 points, the strongest performer in Europe. France's CAC-40 was up 0.7 percent to 3,778.
Britain's FTSE 100 rose 0.3 percent, to 6,284, after official figures showed the U.K. economy contracted 0.3 percent in the fourth quarter. The drop was worse than expected and shows the economy is struggling to make any lasting recovery.
Meanwhile, Wall Street booked early gains as Procter & Gamble said its quarterly profit doubled in the October-December period and it raised its 2013 forecasts.
The Dow Jones industrial index was 0.37 percent higher at 13,875, while the broader S&P 500 gained 0.34 percent to 1,499.8.
The weaker yen is bad for U.S. exporters, but the effect of that was offset somewhat by a rise in the euro, which was up 0.65 percent to $1.3466.
The yen's drop was unambiguously bad for other Asian economies, as their own goods lose appeal to U.S. consumers.
South Korea's Kospi fell 1 percent to 1,943.97. Hong Kong's Hang Seng lost 0.1 percent to 23,580.43.
In mainland China, the Shanghai Composite Index fell 0.5 percent to 2,291.30 and the smaller Shenzhen Composite Index lost 0.2 percent at 909.52.
In Australia, the outlier, the S&P/ASX 200 rose 0.5 percent to 4,835.20.
Benchmark oil for March delivery gave back earlier gains to be 9 cents lower at $96.87 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Somber students return to school in Newtown; N.H. principal's nephew is buriedBy Staff and Wire Reports
December 18. 2012 9:11PM
NEWTOWN, Conn. - Two more students killed in the Friday massacre at the Sandy Hook Elementary School were buried Tuesday, one the nephew of the principal of Bishop Brady High School in Concord, N.H.
James Mattioli, described in his obituary as a "loving friend to all" and an insightful student in mathematics, was the nephew of Brady principal Trevor Bonat.
A message sent out to Brady parents via the school's electronic network let them know about the relationship. A video of a candelight vigil at the school on Monday focused on a candle labeled in memory of James. It was adorned with an angel figurine.
Efforts to reach officials and faculty at the diocesan high school in Concord were unsuccessful yesterday.
On-line websites portrayed a boy who enjoyed swimming, sports, wearing shorts and T-shirts in any weather and his family.
"He loved and admired his big sister and wanted to do everything that she could do. They were the best of friends, going to school together, playing games together, and making endless drawings and crafts together," read the on-line obituary.
James Mattioli was memorialized in church that has become a focal point for the grieving community, St. Rose of Lima Church. The church also celebrated a funeral mass for another student killed in the massacre, Jessica Rekos, 6.
Twenty first-graders and six adults were shot and killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Friday. It remains closed, and students and their teachers will attend a school in nearby Monroe, which had been previously mothballed.
Other schools in Newton opened on Tuesday.
Head O'Meadow Elementary was among a handful of schools in Connecticut where hyper-vigilant authorities responded to threats or questionable comments on social media such as Twitter and Facebook. In some cases schools were locked down briefly. Connecticut State Police Lt. J. Paul Vance said only a few incidents have been reported, but all will be aggressively investigated.
"Any (conduct) like this will be treated seriously," Vance said. "It's not funny." People found responsible could face state or federal prosecution, he said.
At Reed Intermediate School, not too far away from Sandy Hook, parents milled in the parking lot after dropping off their children.
At Hawley Elementary School, Peter Muckell dropped off his 8-year-old daughter.
"I just wanted to get them back into a routine," said Muckell, who also has a 13-year-old daughter in the school district. "I just told her I loved her, and I kissed her."
Muckell said the issue of gun control should be addressed.
"Are we literally going to watch all our kids get slaughtered before we do something?"
Newtown High School sophomore Mike Stierle, 16, said returning to school feels "surreal, definitely. Not expecting anything like this to ever happen to this community."
"I really got to get to class," he said, before running off toward the school.
In an email to Sandy Hook Elementary staff and parents on Monday, Superintendent Janet Robinson wrote that officials hope to open Chalk Hill School in Monroe in January.
Using that school "is a solution that allows us to keep the entire faculty together," she wrote. "In the meantime, we need to tend to our teachers' and students' needs to feel comfortable after this trauma in this new place."
She wrote that parents will be invited to visit the school with their children this week.
"For some children, it will be simply to re-enter a school and know that they are safe," she wrote.
Hundreds of Newtown teachers and staff prepared Monday to return to school, attending a session with a national expert on children and bereavement, followed by meetings with state mental health counselors.
Education Commissioner Stefan Pryor, who has been on site in Newtown since Friday and attended the sessions Monday, said that he has been "moved by the professionalism exhibited by school personnel, their determination and their positive energy - all despite the unspeakable and unimaginable circumstances."
At Newtown High School on Monday, all school employees, from administrators and teachers to paraprofessionals and cafeteria workers, came together to listen to David Schonfeld, director of the Cincinnati-based National Center for School Crisis and Bereavement.
After the meeting, Schonfeld said he gave the teachers and staff suggestions on how to approach talking to students about the tragedy that occurred last week at Sandy Hook.
While you don't want teachers to begin sobbing, Schonfeld said he told them: "It's perfectly fine for teachers to become tearful or choked up" or "to share with them that they were a little more scared when they came to school today."
By allowing students to see that they were upset by what happened, Schonfeld said, teachers can help children understand how to cope with their own distress.
"You can't expect kids to learn how to cope if everyone pretends they are not bothered by it," Schonfeld said. "They should show their emotions. ... If you want kids to talk about how they are feeling, you have to let them know how you're feeling."
Schonfeld developed talking points for teachers in Newtown - and also for use around the state. In general, Schonfeld suggested that teachers give an age-appropriate description of what happened last week, including the fact that the assailant shot and killed himself after the attack.
"This young man died on Friday, so we don't have to worry about him hurting anyone else," Schonfeld suggested saying.
Schonfeld also suggested asking kids what they've heard, what their friends are saying about this. This gives teachers a chance to correct any misperceptions, while also giving them a perspective on how students are doing. Also, in some cases it may offer a safe framework for students to discuss their own worries.
In his guidelines, Schonfeld suggests teachers reassure students that the school is committed to keeping them safe and that they are there for anyone who wants to talk.
"We want to create an environment where it's safe for kids to talk about their feelings," Schonfeld said.
But Schonfeld said he told the teachers, "We are not expecting you to create a therapeutic environment ... You're there to provide support, not therapy."
If a child needs more personal help, schools have counselors available.
Schonfeld, who spent several days in Newtown, said he thinks the response to the tragedy has been "in good hands. ... The state is providing a lot of support and advice."
Pryor said that after the session with Schonfeld, the staff broke out into smaller clusters and met with counselors from the state departments of Mental Health and Addiction Services and Children and Families, to discuss their own feelings and what to expect with students on Tuesday. Pryor said the state Department of Public Health has also been providing assistance.

How Fox Pushes Energy Subsidies and Tax Breaks -- But Only For Oil Companies
To protect the $4 billion of annual tax breaks for oil and gas companies, which President Obama has repeatedly proposed eliminating, Fox News has been offering up every conceivable defense, and in the process has completely tied itself in knots.
Fox declares that the tax preferences benefitting oil companies are not "subsidies" since they are not direct payments. But the network previously called tax credits for electric cars "subsidies." (Fox also says that Media Matters is "subsidized" because we are a tax-exempt organization.)
Fox insists we shouldn't cut the tax incentives for oil because they make up only a fraction of our deficit problem. But when it comes to supporting clean tech, they decide we "can't afford it."
And Fox routinely uses the words "free market" when arguing against federal spending on clean energy, but that term is nowhere to be found in its coverage of oil subsidies. Instead, Fox argues that the tax preferences are "wonderful" because they "encourage" the industry to make money, pay shareholders, and hire people. While it may seem backwards to many of us, the fact that the oil industry is already massively profitable (and doesn't need encouragement from the government) is, in the Fox News worldview, an argument in favor of giving them tax breaks.
The top five oil companies made $137 billion in profits last year. That amount of money could fund the entire Department of Energy for over 5 years. And yet, as the New York Times reported, "oil production is among the most heavily subsidized businesses, with tax breaks available at virtually every stage of the exploration and extraction process." This chart from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office shows that fossil fuels have been boosted by federal tax preferences for decades:
Not only that, but oil companies receive a huge indirect subsidy: much of the nation's infrastructure was built for oil-powered cars, locking in our addiction to oil. In addition, many of the costs of oil use -- climate change, oil spills, military spending, public health impacts -- are not included in the price we pay at the pump.
It's for all these reasons that virtually everyone, including Republicans and oil executives, have at some point acknowledged that the tax preferences for oil are a poor use of budgetary resources.
Federal assistance for clean energy, on the other hand, can actually make a difference in whether new technologies gain a foothold in the marketplace and whether the United States can compete with other countries inventing and building these products. In a recent report, the American Energy Innovation Council, a group of prominent CEOs including Bill Gates, said "total U.S. investment in energy innovation, by both the public and private sectors, pales in comparison to the levels of investment typical of other technology-dependent sectors such as pharmaceuticals, aerospace, computers, and electronics." The report went on to warn:
Unfortunately, the country has yet to embark on a clean energy innovation program commensurate with the scale of the national priorities that are at stake. In fact, rather than improve the country's energy innovation program and invest in strategic national interests, the current political environment is creating strong pressure to pull back from such efforts.

Neighbor thwarts burglary in BrookfieldBy LARISSA MULKERN
Special to the Union Leader
May 08. 2013 12:32PM
BROOKFIELD - Two men were arrested after an alert eyewitness to an alleged burglary in progress called police.
Wakefield Police Department Lt. Mark O'Brien said the neighbor, who lives on Mead Dam Road in Brookfield, reported an alleged burglary in progress on April 18 at 5:30 a.m. He called police after hearing a truck go past his house and stop next door.
According to police, the neighbor saw two men walking around the house, shining flashlights and checking the doors. He also noticed the men loading items into their truck.
The man went over and confronted the men, and when they became agitated and tried to leave, the neighbor blocked the driveway with his truck and waited for police.
Officers from the Wakefield Police Department, Wolfeboro Police Department, and N.H. State Police Troop E responded to the scene.
Arrested at the home were Dustin D. Lafontaine, 20, of Lee, and Jared Fuller, 22, of Wakefield.
Police said numerous items of scrap metal were taken from the house.The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is encouraged to call the Wakefield Police Department at 522-3232.

The goal of colorectal cancer screening is to remove precancerous polyps before they develop into cancer or to diagnose a cancer in its early stages when survival is greatest. A consortium of five medical societies including surgeons and gastroenterologists, and sponsored by the United States Agency for Health Care Policy and Research, has defined separate screening protocols based on an individual's assignment to risk categories.
The use of colonoscopy is the superior alternative among testing options. Colonoscopy screens for cancer by examining the whole colon, and is a tool to prevent cancer by removing pre-cancerous colorectal polyps (polypectomy). For more information on colonoscopy including preparation and what you can expect from the test, please see the related NetWellness orginal feature.
At this time, there are not enough data to recommend CT scanning otherwise known as virtual colonoscopy, and it is currently not reimburse by insurance unless performed as a follow up to an incomplete colonoscopy. The colon is inflated with air through a tube in the rectum, and the patient has to undergo a CT scan. This procedure does not allow for polyp removal and can miss smaller polyps detected by endoscopic colonoscopy.
This technology involves collection of a whole bowel movement. The cells that are shed from the lining of the colon are then isolated and checked for DNA mutations that are known to be associated with colon cancer and colon polyps. At present, the test is still under development and not commercially available.
There are many excellent support groups and references that the patient's physician will be happy to share. The following websites can provide further information:
The American Cancer Society can address cancer-related questions 24 hours a day at 1-800-ACS-2345. Concerns should also be addressed with a physician.
