Ovarian epithelial cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissue covering the ovary.
The ovaries are a pair of organs in the female reproductive system. They are in the pelvis, one on each side of the uterus (the hollow, pear-shaped organ where a fetus grows). Each ovary is about the size and shape of an almond. The ovaries make eggs and female hormones (chemicals that control the way certain cells or organs work). Anatomy of the female reproductive system. The organs in the female reproductive system include the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, and vagina. The uterus has a muscular outer layer called the myometrium and an inner lining called the endometrium.
Ovarian epithelial cancer is one type of cancer that affects the ovary. See the following PDQ treatment summaries for information about other types of ovarian tumors:
Women who have a family history of ovarian cancer are at an increased risk of ovarian cancer.
Anything that increases your risk of getting a disease is called a risk factor. Women who have one first-degree relative (mother, daughter, or sister) with ovarian cancer are at an increased risk of ovarian cancer. This risk is higher in women who have one first-degree relative and one second-degree relative (grandmother or aunt) with ovarian cancer. This risk is even higher in women who have two or more first-degree relatives with ovarian cancer.
Some ovarian cancers are caused by inherited gene mutations (changes).
The genes in cells carry the hereditary information that is received from a person's parents. Hereditary ovarian cancer makes up about 5% to 10% of all cases of ovarian cancer. Three hereditary patterns have been identified: ovarian cancer alone, ovarian and breast cancers, and ovarian and colon cancers.
There are tests that can detect mutated genes. These genetic tests are sometimes done for members of families with a high risk of cancer. See the following PDQ summaries for more information:
Women with an increased risk of ovarian cancer may consider surgery to prevent it.
Some women who have an increased risk of ovarian cancer may choose to have a prophylactic oophorectomy (the removal of healthy ovaries so that cancer cannot grow in them). In high-risk women, this procedure has been shown to greatly decrease the risk of ovarian cancer. (See the PDQ summary on Ovarian Cancer Prevention for more information.)
Possible signs of ovarian cancer include pain or swelling in the abdomen.
Early ovarian cancer may not cause any symptoms. When symptoms do appear, ovarian cancer is often advanced. Symptoms of ovarian cancer may include the following:
These symptoms also may be caused by other conditions and not by ovarian cancer. If the symptoms get worse or do not go away on their own, check with your doctor so that any problem can be diagnosed and treated as early as possible. When found in its early stages, ovarian epithelial cancer can often be cured.
Women with any stage of ovarian cancer should think about taking part in a clinical trial. Information about ongoing clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
Tests that examine the ovaries, pelvic area, blood, and ovarian tissue are used to detect (find) and diagnose ovarian cancer.
The following tests and procedures may be used:
An exam of the vagina, cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and rectum. The doctor or nurse inserts one or two lubricated, gloved fingers of one hand into the vagina and the other hand is placed over the lower abdomen to feel the size, shape, and position of the uterus and ovaries. A speculum is also inserted into the vagina and the doctor or nurse looks at the vagina and cervix for signs of disease. A Pap test or Pap smear of the cervix is usually done. The doctor or nurse also inserts a lubricated, gloved finger into the rectum to feel for lumps or abnormal areas.Pelvic exam. A doctor or nurse inserts one or two lubricated, gloved fingers of one hand into the vagina and presses on the lower abdomen with the other hand. This is done to feel the size, shape, and position of the uterus and ovaries. The vagina, cervix, fallopian tubes, and rectum are also checked.
A procedure in which high-energy sound waves (ultrasound) are bounced off internal tissues or organs and make echoes. The echoes form a picture of body tissues called a sonogram. The picture can be printed to be looked at later.
An abdominal ultrasound may be done.Abdominal ultrasound. An ultrasound transducer connected to a computer is passed over the surface of the abdomen. The ultrasound transducer bounces sound waves off internal organs and tissues to make echoes that form a sonogram (computer picture).
Other patients may have a transvaginal ultrasound.Transvaginal ultrasound. An ultrasound probe connected to a computer is inserted into the vagina and is gently moved to show different organs. The probe bounces sound waves off internal organs and tissues to make echoes that form a sonogram (computer picture).
A test that measures the level of CA 125 in the blood. CA 125 is a substance released by cells into the bloodstream. An increased CA 125 level is sometimes a sign of cancer or other condition.
A series of x-rays of the lower gastrointestinal tract. A liquid that contains barium (a silver-white metallic compound) is put into the rectum. The barium coats the lower gastrointestinal tract and x-rays are taken. This procedure is also called a lower GI series.
A series of x-rays of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder to find out if cancer has spread to these organs. A contrast dye is injected into a vein. As the contrast dye moves through the kidneys, ureters, and bladder, x-rays are taken to see if there are any blockages.
:A procedure that makes a series of detailed pictures of areas inside the body, taken from different angles. The pictures are made by a computer linked to an x-ray machine. A dye may be injected into a vein or swallowed to help the organs or tissues show up more clearly. This procedure is also called computed tomography, computerized tomography, or computerized axial tomography.
The removal of cells or tissues so they can be viewed under a microscope by a pathologist to check for signs of cancer. The tissue is removed in a procedure called a laparotomy (a surgical incision made in the wall of the abdomen).
Certain factors affect treatment options and prognosis (chance of recovery).
The prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options depend on the following:
After ovarian epithelial cancer has been diagnosed, tests are done to find out if cancer cells have spread within the ovaries or to other parts of the body.
The process used to find out if cancer has spread within the ovary or to other parts of the body is called staging. The information gathered from the staging process determines the stage of the disease. It is important to know the stage in order to plan treatment. The following procedures may be done:
There are three ways that cancer spreads in the body.
The three ways that cancer spreads in the body are:
When cancer cells break away from the primary (original) tumor and travel through the lymph or blood to other places in the body, another (secondary) tumor may form. This process is called metastasis. The secondary (metastatic) tumor is the same type of cancer as the primary tumor. For example, if breast cancer spreads to the bones, the cancer cells in the bones are actually breast cancer cells. The disease is metastatic breast cancer, not bone cancer.
The following stages are used for ovarian epithelial cancer:
Stage I
Ovarian cancer stage IA, IB, and IC. In stage IA, cancer is found inside a single ovary. In stage IB, cancer is found inside both ovaries. In stage IC, cancer is found in one or both ovaries and one of the following is true: (a) cancer is found on the outside surface of one or both ovaries, (b) the capsule (outer covering) of the ovary has broken open, or (c) cancer cells are found floating in the peritoneal fluid surrounding abdominal organs or in washings of the peritoneum.
In stage I, cancer is found in one or both ovaries. Stage I is divided into stage IA, stage IB, and stage IC.
Stage II
Ovarian cancer stage IIA, IIB, and IIC. In stage IIA, cancer is found inside one or both ovaries and has spread to the uterus and/or the fallopian tubes. In stage IIB, cancer is found inside one or both ovaries and has spread to other tissues within the pelvis. In stage IIC, cancer is found inside one or both ovaries and has spread to the uterus and/or fallopian tubes and/or other tissue within the pelvis, and one of the following is true: (a) cancer is found on the outside surface of one or both ovaries, (b) the capsule (outer covering) of the ovary has broken open, or (c) cancer cells are found floating in the peritoneal fluid surrounding abdominal organs or in washings of the peritoneum.
In stage II, cancer is found in one or both ovaries and has spread into other areas of the pelvis. Stage II is divided into stage IIA, stage IIB, and stage IIC.
Pea, peanut, walnut, and lime show tumor sizes.
Stage III
In stage III, cancer is found in one or both ovaries and has spread outside the pelvis to other parts of the abdomen and/or nearby lymph nodes. Stage III is divided into stage IIIA, stage IIIB, and stage IIIC.
Cancer that has spread to the surface of the liver is also considered stage III ovarian cancer.
Stage IV
Stage IV ovarian cancer. Cancer is found in one or both ovaries and may spread to other parts of the body, such as the lymph nodes, lung, liver, and bone. Cancer cells may also be found in an area between the lungs and the chest wall that has filled with fluid.
In stage IV, cancer has spread beyond the abdomen to other parts of the body, such as the lungs or tissue inside the liver.
Cancer cells in the fluid around the lungs is also considered stage IV ovarian cancer.
Recurrent ovarian epithelial cancer is cancer that has recurred (come back) after it has been treated. Persistent cancer is cancer that does not go away with treatment.
There are different types of treatment for patients with ovarian epithelial cancer.
Different types of treatment are available for patients with ovarian epithelial cancer. Some treatments are standard, and some are being tested in clinical trials. A treatment clinical trial is a research study meant to help improve current treatments or obtain information on new treatments for patients with cancer. When clinical trials show that a new treatment is better than the treatment currently used as standard treatment, the new treatment may become the standard treatment. Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.
Three kinds of standard treatment are used. These include the following:
Most patients have surgery to remove as much of the tumor as possible. Different types of surgery may include:
Radiation therapy
Radiation therapy is a cancer treatment that uses high-energy x-rays or other types of radiation to kill cancer cells or keep them from growing. There are two types of radiation therapy. External radiation therapy uses a machine outside the body to send radiation toward the cancer. Internal radiation therapy uses a radioactive substance sealed in needles, seeds, wires, or catheters that are placed directly into or near the cancer. The way the radiation therapy is given depends on the type and stage of the cancer being treated.
Some women receive a treatment called intraperitoneal radiation therapy, in which radioactive liquid is put directly in the abdomen through a catheter.
Chemotherapy is a cancer treatment that uses drugs to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. When chemotherapy is taken by mouth or injected into a vein or muscle, the drugs enter the bloodstream and can reach cancer cells throughout the body (systemic chemotherapy). When chemotherapy is placed directly into the cerebrospinal fluid, an organ, or a body cavity such as the abdomen, the drugs mainly affect cancer cells in those areas (regional chemotherapy).
A type of regional chemotherapy used to treat ovarian cancer is intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy. In IP chemotherapy, the anticancer drugs are carried directly into the peritoneal cavity (the space that contains the abdominal organs) through a thin tube.
Treatment with more than one anticancer drug is called combination chemotherapy.
The way the chemotherapy is given depends on the type and stage of the cancer being treated.
See Drugs Approved for Ovarian Cancer for more information.
New types of treatment are being tested in clinical trials.
This summary section describes treatments that are being studied in clinical trials. It may not mention every new treatment being studied. Information about clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
Biologic therapy
Biologic therapy is a treatment that uses the patient's immune system to fight cancer. Substances made by the body or made in a laboratory are used to boost, direct, or restore the body's natural defenses against cancer. This type of cancer treatment is also called biotherapy or immunotherapy.
Targeted therapy
Targeted therapy is a type of treatment that uses drugs or other substances to identify and attack specific cancer cells without harming normal cells.
Monoclonal antibody therapy is a type of targeted therapy that uses antibodies made in the laboratory, from a single type of immune system cell. These antibodies can identify substances on cancer cells or normal substances that may help cancer cells grow. The antibodies attach to the substances and kill the cancer cells, block their growth, or keep them from spreading. Monoclonal antibodies are given by infusion. They may be used alone or to carry drugs, toxins, or radioactive material directly to cancer cells.
Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody being studied in the treatment of ovarian epithelial cancer.
Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial.
For some patients, taking part in a clinical trial may be the best treatment choice. Clinical trials are part of the cancer research process. Clinical trials are done to find out if new cancer treatments are safe and effective or better than the standard treatment.
Many of today's standard treatments for cancer are based on earlier clinical trials. Patients who take part in a clinical trial may receive the standard treatment or be among the first to receive a new treatment.
Patients who take part in clinical trials also help improve the way cancer will be treated in the future. Even when clinical trials do not lead to effective new treatments, they often answer important questions and help move research forward.
Patients can enter clinical trials before, during, or after starting their cancer treatment.
Some clinical trials only include patients who have not yet received treatment. Other trials test treatments for patients whose cancer has not gotten better. There are also clinical trials that test new ways to stop cancer from recurring (coming back) or reduce the side effects of cancer treatment.
Clinical trials are taking place in many parts of the country. See the Treatment Options section that follows for links to current treatment clinical trials. These have been retrieved from NCI's listing of clinical trials.
Follow-up tests may be needed.
Some of the tests that were done to diagnose the cancer or to find out the stage of the cancer may be repeated. Some tests will be repeated in order to see how well the treatment is working. Decisions about whether to continue, change, or stop treatment may be based on the results of these tests. This is sometimes called re-staging.
Some of the tests will continue to be done from time to time after treatment has ended. The results of these tests can show if your condition has changed or if the cancer has recurred (come back). These tests are sometimes called follow-up tests or check-ups.
A link to a list of current clinical trials is included for each treatment section. For some types or stages of cancer, there may not be any trials listed. Check with your doctor for clinical trials that are not listed here but may be right for you.
Stage I and II Ovarian Epithelial Cancer
Treatment of stage I and stage II ovarian epithelial cancer may include the following:
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with stage I ovarian epithelial cancer and stage II ovarian epithelial cancer. For more specific results, refine the search by using other search features, such as the location of the trial, the type of treatment, or the name of the drug. General information about clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
Stage III and IV Ovarian Epithelial Cancer
Treatment of stage III and stage IV ovarian epithelial cancer may be surgery to remove the tumor, total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and omentectomy. After surgery, treatment depends on how much tumor remains.
When the tumor that remains is 1 centimeter or smaller, treatment is usually combination chemotherapy, including intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy.
When the tumor that remains is larger than 1 centimeter, treatment may include the following:
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with stage III ovarian epithelial cancer and stage IV ovarian epithelial cancer. For more specific results, refine the search by using other search features, such as the location of the trial, the type of treatment, or the name of the drug. General information about clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
Treatment of recurrent ovarian epithelial cancer may include the following:
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with recurrent ovarian epithelial cancer. For more specific results, refine the search by using other search features, such as the location of the trial, the type of treatment, or the name of the drug.

How Moving to the U.S. Shaped My Judaism
If you've ever moved to a new home, you know how anxiety-ridden the process can be. Now imagine moving to another country and the enormous emotional adjustment that such a move entails. The new sounds, sights, and smells alone would be overwhelming. So you'd think religion would be a comfort, right? As you'll see in the essays this month, that's not necessarily the case.
Speaking of big transitions, this will be the last issue of 614. It's been a blessing to explore with you relevant Jewish topics to women, and you can now read about them on Fresh Ideas from HBI: The HBI Blog. Past issues of 614 will be archived at 614ezine.com/archives. As for me, I'm moving on to my next venture as Executive Director of MEDIAGIRLS, where I'll continue to explore gender issues through a different lens. As Thanksgiving approaches, I want to give thanks for the years of engaging discussion.

We never went to the Moon. Bill Kaysing just about proves it here, and he was one of the very first to ever have done so. Kaysing was working on the periphery of the Apollo program at a facility in Nevada, and he offers some interesting and quite specific first-hand facts, and even more interesting and quite specific conjectures, that you generally won't find in later books and DVDs which further corroborate Kaysing's work on the Apollo Moon Hoax.
This book intersperses Kaysing's writing with a lot of black and white photographs and media clippings of the time, and from pertinent sources.
Nevermind what the propagandized majority says, Kaysing was truly prescient.
As playwright Henrik Ibsen wrote in his play "Enemy of the People": "The majority is always wrong!"
We never went to the Moon. Deal with it. Unmesmerize yourself from an American mainstream media system that would have made Goebbels ecstatic.
With every passing year that we don't go back and haven't gone back to the Moon, Kaysing's original work is more and more verified.

The above excellent video compilation contains a brief crucially-important segment of film purporting to show the landed Surveyor probe as Apollo 12 glides sideways into landing. It's utterly unrealistic, but must be open to masses of analysis, providing a (unique?) set of visual references.
This can only be a matter of seconds before the 'landing', but it appears to perhaps give derivable info on track, trajectory, ground clearance and speed. Also, orientation of the landed surveyor probe versus the A12 ground intercept.

Bob Geldof daughter, Peaches, dies at 25
Peaches Geldof, the wild-child second daughter of Irish singer Bob Geldof who filled the pages of British tabloids with her late-night antics as she partied through the world of fashion and celebrity, was found dead Monday at age 25.

LONDON (AP) — Peaches Geldof, the wild-child second daughter of Irish singer Bob Geldof who filled the pages of British tabloids with her late-night antics as she partied through the world of fashion and celebrity, was found dead Monday at age 25.
There was no immediate word on the cause of her death at her home in Wrotham, Kent, southeast England but police called it "unexplained and sudden."
Peaches Geldof had admitted using drugs in the past but said in a 2009 interview that she had quit.
The news of her death came as a shock to Britain's entertainment and fashion circles, where Geldof had been active as a model, television presenter and fashion writer. She was a frequent attendee at fashion shows in London and New York, and was photographed just last week at a London show for the Tesco brand F&F.
Geldof was only a girl of 11 when her mother Paula Yates, a popular television presenter, died of a drug overdose in 2000, and those who knew her said it hit her extremely hard.
The last tweet she sent on Twitter came on Sunday, when she posted a photograph of herself as a toddler next to her mother along with the caption: "Me and my mum."
Her father issued an anguished statement Monday from the family about her death.
"Peaches has died. We are beyond pain. She was the wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and the most bonkers of all of us," he wrote. "Writing 'was' destroys me afresh. What a beautiful child. How is this possible that we will not see her again? How is that bearable? We loved her and will cherish her forever."
The statement was signed by Bob, Jeanne (his partner), Peaches' sisters Fifi and Pixie and her half-sister Tiger Geldof.
Kent police declined to name Geldof, but when asked about her death they said in a statement that officers were called to a house near Wrotham following a report of concern for a woman's welfare Monday afternoon. They said the 25-year-old woman was pronounced dead by emergency officers and that the death was being treated as "unexplained and sudden."
In an interview with the Guardian newspaper in 2009, Geldof acknowledged that she used drugs as a teenager but said she had stopped.
"'Yeah, I've taken drugs. Yes, I have had experiences, and a few of those experiences were unsavory, not ones I want to repeat, but I was growing up. I wanted the experience," she told the paper.
"I wasn't hugely into drugs and I'm sober now," she added. "I'm not Amy Winehouse. I never have been. I wasn't a crackhead."
Geldof was married twice. She leaves behind her second husband, Tom Cohen, lead singer of the defunct London punk band S.C.U.M, and two sons, 23-month-old Astala and 11-month-old Phaedra.
"My beloved wife Peaches was adored by myself and her two sons Astala and Phaedra, and I shall bring them up with their mother in their hearts every day. We shall love her forever," Cohen said in a statement.
At age 19 she married Max Drummey, a vocalist with U.S. indie rock band Chester French, at a drive-thru chapel in Las Vegas while the two were on holiday. The marriage lasted six months and ended in 2009.
Reaction from other friends and acquaintances across Britain was disbelief.
"It's very, very sad. Peaches has overcome a lot in her childhood, seemed to be getting her life together. You hear something like this and words can fail you. It's just tragic, terrible news," Ray Levine, Peaches' former publicist, told Sky News.
"Having to deal with the death of your mother at such a young age would be difficult for any child, let alone someone in the public spotlight," he added.
It was not easy being the daughter of a famous, wealthy father. In the public eye since her teenage years, Peaches Geldof struggled with a turbulent social life, highlighted at every turn by a British press eager for celebrity news.
Born on Mar. 13, 1989, she left home at 16 and began writing columns for fashion magazines and newspapers, as well as dabbling in television presenting and modeling. She was well-known among London's young and trendy crowd, frequently snapped wearing cutting-edge outfits on catwalk front rows or on red carpets at movie premieres and exclusive club events.
But more often than not, British tabloids and gossip magazines focused on the more sordid details of her life, including reports that she was caught shoplifting cosmetics and claims that she used heroin.
In 2010 she was dropped from a lingerie modelling contract after photographs showing her topless and allegations that she used drugs surfaced.
Bob Geldof, 62, rose to fame in the late 1970s as the lead singer of the Irish punk band The Boomtown Rats, which still occasionally performs. He became an internationally renowned social activist in the 1980s by marshaling the power of his fellow music celebrities, most notably as co-organizer of the 1984 Band-Aid movement and the following year's Live Aid concerts that raised millions for famine relief in Ethiopia.
The fundraising song he co-wrote, "Do they Know It's Christmas?" featuring an ensemble of pop stars remains a radio favorite in Britain and Ireland at Christmastime.
In 2005, he helped organize more celebrity-studded concerts under the banner Live 8 — timed to coincide with a G8 summit taking place in Scotland — that raised funds to fight poverty. For the past decade he has worked alongside fellow Irish rocker Bono at events organized by the U2 singer's anti-poverty charity One.

World Suicide Prevention Day: Why We All Need To Stop Saying 'Committed Suicide'
Campaigners including Stephen Fry and Zoe Ball have called for an end to stigmatising language.
Campaigners, celebrities and MPs have called for an end to stigmatising language around suicide, explaining that phrases such as "committed suicide" should never be used.
In an open letter published on
World Suicide Prevention Day
, the group say the media in particular has a responsibility to use considered language when writing on the topic, encouraging journalists to think about the impact certain phrases may have on the general public, as well as bereaved families and friends.
"We still read that a person has 'committed suicide', suggesting suicide is either a sin or a crime, or both. It has not been a crime in the UK since 1961," the letter reads.
"This form of words can imply that to take one's own life is a selfish, cowardly, criminal or irreligious act, rather than the manifestation of extreme mental distress and unbearable pain. It also adds to the stigma and feelings of shame that prevent people from reaching out for help."
The letter has been signed by almost 150 high profile individuals, including former Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls, MP Caroline Lucas, presenters Dermot O'Leary, Zoe Ball and Stephen Fry, and suicide prevention campaigners Jonny Benjamin and Poorna Bell.
Instead of the phrase "committed suicide", the group would like to see people use the phrases "died by suicide' or "taken their own life". They also highlight that the reasons for suicide are complex and unique to the individual, and we should therefore avoid speculating how events in a person's life may have led to their death.
They also warn against sensationalising suicide in the media, citing recent research which examined news reports covering the suicide of US actor Robin Williams and identified a 10% increase in people taking their own lives in the months following his death.
"Young people in particular are more influenced by what they see and hear in the media than other age groups and are more susceptible to what is often referred to as suicide contagion," the letter says.
"We should not describe a suicide as 'easy', 'painless', 'quick' or 'effective', and we should remember to look at the long-term consequences of suicide attempts, not forgetting the significant life-long pain for those left behind when someone does take their own life."

Warm-from-the-oven baked fruit streusel, a perfect partner for vanilla ice cream topping. The only way to describe this dish is outrageous and fabulous. It makes a stunning presentation and looks like you spent a lot of time in the kitchen. This is one of the easiest, fastest desserts I've ever made. Try it- you will get loads of compliments!
12 individual or 1 pie
- Streusel Topping:
½ cup dried bread crumbs
½ cup all purpose flour
⅓ cup sugar
½ cup margarine/ 1 stick
1 tsp cinnamon
½ cup walnuts, finely chopped
- Fruit Filling:
1 (29 oz) can sliced pears
2 (28 oz) can sliced peaches
3 Tbsp flour
In mixer or by hand, beat streusel topping-beside the walnuts- at low speed, until well blended and large crumbs form. Stir in the walnuts by hand. Set aside.
Drain syrup from peach and pear slices. Reserve 1/2 cup syrup-any. Reserve some peach slices for garnish. If you only have pear halves- simply slice them into slices.
In large bowl, mix fruit with cinnamon and flour. Spoon mixture into 1 large pyrex pie pan or 12 mini glass ramekins. Pour reserved syrup over fruit. If you are baking mini glass pans, place them on a jelly-roll pan for easier handling. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes-until topping is brown. Freezes well
To serve: Top each warm dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream; garnish with a thin peach slice. (Cut the sliced peaches into thinner slices)

The deadline for construction bid proposals to be submitted to the company in charge of building the 3.3-mile streetcar line on Detroit's Woodward Avenue has been extended to Feb. 20.
Last month, Alameda, Calif.-based civil construction firm Stacy and Witbeck Inc., hired last summer by nonprofit organizer M-1 Rail as the streetcar line's construction manager and general contractor, began seeking bids for 45 packages of work that account for an estimated $75 million of the $137 million project. The original deadline for bid proposals was Feb. 14.
"We included some addendums to some of the bid packages in the days leading up to the (original) deadline," said Tom Gilman of Stacy and Witbeck in a news release. "We wanted to provide more time for proper preparation so we can receive the best and most complete bids possible."
The bids are available on the company's website.
Among the jobs are bids for construction, landscaping, paving, utility work and signage.
The goal is to have the bids awarded by March, M-1 COO Paul Childs has said.
Utility relocation work is underway, and construction is expected to begin in spring, with the system in operation by 2016.
The streetcars will serve 11 stops, travel at an average of 35 mph and mix with traffic largely in the curbside lanes of Woodward between West Grand Boulevard and Larned.
M-1 is using a blend of public and private funding to finance the rail line.

Southington police are asking for the public's help in an investigation into an armed robbery at Sam's Quick Mart on Meriden-Waterbury Road.
On Thursday, August 22, at 9 p.m., a store clerk reported that a black male suspect entered the store and walked behind the counter. The suspect then pointed a handgun at the clerk and told him to give him all of the money.
The clerk handed the suspect money from the cash register. The suspect then ordered the clerk to lay on the ground and the suspect fled the scene.
An undetermined amount of money was taken during the robbery. There were no injuries reported during the robbery.
The suspect is described as a black male in his mid 20s to early 30s, approximately 5'9″ wearing a white button down long sleeve shirt, baggie blue jeans and a white baseball hat with a New York Yankee logo.
It appears that the suspect fled the scene in a red sedan with a Connecticut license plate on the rear of the vehicle.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Southington Police Department Detective Div. Detective Kyle Dobratz at 860-378-1654.

So, tell me, does hitting longer and straighter shots sound good to you?
Many golfers want to play better, and the best place to start is to seek out a PGA Coach to advance their games through lessons and expert instruction.
And whether it's with a group of other golfers or in a private setting, the best way that you can apply the instruction you receive is through practice and playing.
Golf is both a physical activity and a mental sport that takes time on the range, putting green and out on the golf course to master.
In time, you will be able to transition what you have learned into your everyday set of skills. As you apply this knowledge, you'll eventually experience the thrill of visualizing a shot that you want to play on a hole, and executing it just as your mind envisions!
By taking golf lessons that are reinforced through extra practice and rounds of golf, you increase your chances of lowering your scores, hitting straighter and longer drives, and discovering that the game is more enjoyable and fulfilling than ever before!
Wherever your golf journey is heading, let's get you there. There are nearly 29,000 PGA Professionals ready to help. Find yours at pga.com/journeys.

A bill to regulate mixed martial arts has passed the New York State Senate and will go to the Assembly next. You can find more info about the Senate passage in a story on LoHud.com.
What I found in that article is continued ignorance from New York government regarding mixed martial arts.
"We're not teaching young people how to be adults," said Sen. William Larkin, R-New Windsor, Orange County. "We're teaching young people how to be hoodlums. Look what they do on this show: pound one another, kick one another."
"I don't think there is anything sporting about Ultimate Fighting," Savino said. "It is barbarism portrayed on television for people so that they can watch it and be entertained."
First off, there is no such thing as "Ultimate Fighting". What Diane Savino is trying to reference in her quote is a sport called Mixed Martial Arts. I find it humorous that these government officials have so little information going into an important vote like this.
As far as there being "no sport" in mixed martial arts, that is ludicrous. Teaching young people to be hoodlums? Really?
I challenge these uninformed Senators to go to any MMA gym, strap on a pair of boxing gloves and shin pads, and throw some punch kick combinations. Then hit the mats and learn how to apply an arm bar, follow that up with one hundred double leg take downs, maybe a few sprawls. After that workout, tell me how you feel about MMA not being a "sport". You would realize the discipline it takes to successfully execute these maneuvers, and I don't see how that would teach anyone to be a "hoodlum". Training mixed martial arts teaches you discipline, an acquired character trait that carries over into every aspect of life.
Anyway, the Assembly vote is important. I will be keeping a close eye on this, and hopefully the MMA bill passes there as well.

Financial Planner: Expert Money Advice
Confused by the economy? Who isn't? Our expert answers to four common money questions will help you take charge of your fiscal future.
My 401(k)
Q. Should my husband and I stop contributing to a 401(k)?
A. No. You're watching the stock market go down, and suddenly it seems like a bad idea to be stuffing more of your family's retirement savings into it. Stop panicking, experts say. Contributions to a 401(k) are still tax-deferred, meaning that the more pretax dollars you squeeze into the account, the less you pay on April 15 next year. And for many people, retirement is still decades away, giving the market plenty of time to rebound. "There are always factors that negatively affect the stock market," says Constance Stone, a certified financial planner in Chagrin Falls, Ohio. "But research shows that people who stay invested during tough times come out far ahead of people who move their money." And don't be tempted to borrow from your 401(k). It may seem like a quick way to get cash, but if you lose your job, you'll need to pay that money back within 30 to 60 days — or risk incurring taxes and penalties on it.
My Credit Cards
Q. Should I stop using credit cards?
A. Not necessarily. Some advisers suggest hiding credit cards under the mattress during tough times, and, indeed, wielding a debit card has become a popular alternative. But using your debit card exclusively has disadvantages — fraud and error protections aren't the same — and credit cards can be part of a responsible spending plan. They can also help you establish a solid credit history. "Unfortunately, some people misuse credit cards by thinking, 'I'll do this now and get myself out of it later,'" Stone says. "But balances grow, and these people are in trouble before they know it." So treat your credit card as if it's a debit card, recording each transaction and subtracting it from your bank balance. Then pay your bill in full each month.
My Savings
Q. How much should I have in savings?
A. At least six months of living expenses. The general rule of thumb has always been that dual-income families should have three to six months of living expenses accessible in a savings account earning at least 2.5 percent. But fewer than 40 percent of adults have enough savings to tide them over for even three months, according to Bankrate.com. And now that the economy is so uncertain, experts are leaning toward six months. "If someone loses his job, it's anybody's guess how long it will take to become employed again," says Donald E. Whalen, a certified financial planner in Alpharetta, Georgia. But don't get overwhelmed by the thought of having to save so much money — "living expenses" doesn't mean cash for leisure activities. It's the money needed to cover bare essentials, like mortgage, food, and health insurance.
To beef up your emergency fund:
A. Set up a weekly automatic debit from your checking account into a high-interest savings account, and increase the amount when you can.
B. Raise the deductibles on your home and auto insurance, or shop around for a better deal, then stow the difference in a savings account.
C. When you finish paying off a credit card, keep making payments — to your emergency fund.
D. Try bundling expenses (like getting phone, Internet, and cable from one company) then stash
the savings.
My Bills
Q. Is it okay to ignore my bills if I can't afford the payments?
A. No way. Ignoring your bills will result in late fees, negative credit, and higher interest rates — to the tune of as much as 32 percent on your credit cards, according to a study by advocacy group Consumer Action. Foresee a problem making a payment to your credit card or your mortgage company? Pick up the phone. "If you proactively call and explain the situation, you'll probably get better treatment," says Ken Robinson, a financial adviser in Cleveland. You may be able to work out a different payment plan or lower your interest rate. The same goes for taxes: File your return on time, then contact the IRS to talk about an installment plan, if need be.
Before I Lose My Job
It seems like the headlines are announcing new layoffs every day — more than half a million jobs were lost in December 2008 alone. Luckily, even in this shaky economic environment there are a few things you can do to prepare.
Apply for a home equity line of credit. If you're unemployed, you'll have a hard time persuading a bank that you can repay this loan, so now is a great time to secure a line of credit in case you need it. You pay interest only if you have to tap into it. The bad news: It's harder to get a HELOC than it used to be. Aim for a bank that will waive all application fees and charge an annual fee (once approved) instead. "I'd rather do that than pay $150 up front and then find out they're not going to give me the loan," says certified financial planner Constance Stone.
Get a physical. Encourage your husband to get one too, and take the kids to the pediatrician and dentist. You don't know what kind of health coverage you'll have in the future or how much it will cost, so get care while you're still on your employer's dime.
Downgrade your health coverage. When open enrollment comes around, try a less expensive health insurance plan for the upcoming year, if you can. That way, if you end up having to pay COBRA (your current health plan at full cost), you will pay less.
Adjust your withholding. Reduce federal and state withholding to get more cash in your paycheck — then don't spend it. Sock away the extra money in a high-interest savings account. If you remain employed, you can use the money to pay your taxes. But if you or your husband gets laid off, the money will be readily accessible so you can pay your bills.
Check your credit report. Potential future employers will likely be checking your credit. Everyone should get a free report from annualcreditreport.com and fix any errors — now.

by Blueberry T
For months, I've had it in mind to write a post about the right to work, as opposed to Right-to-Work laws, and the living wage. The trouble is that I got lost/buried in the topic and couldn't get anywhere with it. Then, the other day, I saw that Governor Chris Christie – who portrays himself as a pragmatic centrist who represents the interests of his constituents – vetoed a bill that would have raised the minimum wage in New Jersey from $7.25 to $8.50 an hour now, and indexed the minimum wage to inflation thereafter. Wow - he cured my writer's block!
Christie vetoed the bill despite the fact that 82% of New Jersey residents surveyed by Quinnipiac University, including 67% of Republicans, support increasing the minimum wage to $8.50/hr.
In the interest of full disclosure, Christie sent the bill back to the legislature, saying he would accept a modified bill with an increase of a whopping 25 cents/hr in the minimum wage this year, and increases over the next three years to bring it up to $8.25/hr., but without inflation indexing. He used the excuse that increasing the minimum wage would threaten economic recovery. This is a common argument used to thwart efforts to raise the minimum wage, along with arguments that raising the minimum wage causes job losses. Here is the conservative Heritage Foundation's argument along those lines. Here are articles from Bloomberg, Think Progress and LearnVest refuting these arguments and laying out the strong case for a raise in the minimum wage.
Now, let's look at this. Of course, this is an issue not just in
New Jersey, but throughout . For background, here
is current information from the Department of Labor on the federal minimum wage law and how it is
implemented. States can now enact their own minimum wage;
currently the state of America
has the highest minimum wage at $9.19/hr. Here
is a clickable map showing the minimum wage in each state (you can scroll down
to compare the data for each state) and a Q&A that covers exemptions and
other issues. Washington
Today, the national minimum wage is $7.25/hour, which equates to $15,080/year for a full-time worker. Adding insult to injury, minimum wage workers generally do not get health insurance or much else in the way of benefits. The national minimum wage has fallen so far behind the pace of inflation that it now only provides 68% of the buying power that it had in 1968. According to Wikipedia, "The minimum wage had its highest purchasing value ever in 1968, when it was $1.60 per hour ($10.64 in 2012 dollars). From January 1981 to April 1990, the minimum wage was frozen at $3.35 per hour, then a record-setting wage freeze. From September 1, 1997 through July 23, 2007, the federal minimum wage remained constant at $5.15 per hour, breaking the old record." In other words, since 1981 there have been two periods of almost a decade each during which the minimum wage did not increase at all. Even the highest minimum wage in the country currently, $9.19/hr, does not keep pace with inflation when compared to the 1968 wage.
Note this map is now out-of-date; I include it for the data on who earns minimum wage; also note the minimum wage did NOT rise to $8.25/hour in 2010 as estimated here.
The fact that the minimum wage is not indexed to inflation is a huge problem, because raising the minimum wage is always a political football and generally falls prey to legislative gridlock or conservative ideological purity tests. This is the case even though several studies indicate that people earning the minimum wage are likely to spend every dollar they earn, thus increasing consumer spending and stimulating the economy. Ironically, in the recent fiscal cliff compromise, the estate tax exemption was indexed to inflation. Got that? If you earn the minimum wage, you don't get any adjustment each year, but if you are going to inherit more than $5 million, you are in luck not only because of your obvious wealth, but also because the amount not subject to the estate tax will now be increased each year - because it would have been some kind of unfair hardship otherwise, right? Talk about a tax code and economic system that favor the wealthy! If there is one single economic reform that is urgently needed, it is to index (minimum) wages to inflation.
But that is only part of the story. Most importantly, the minimum wage is not enough to live on, almost anywhere in the country – and certainly a single value does not reflect variations in the cost of living throughout the country, in any case. In most areas, the minimum wage is closer to a poverty wage than a living wage. To help illustrate this, MIT has developed a living wage calculator that shows the wage needed to meet the actual cost of housing and other basic necessities in every city or town in the country. It's a tremendously helpful tool that also shows how much money is needed not only for a single adult, but for a 1-2 adults with 1-3 children. It also shows the estimate for each expense category.
What becomes immediately apparent, in looking at the MIT living wage calculator, is that not even a single person earning minimum wage can possibly come close to the living wage costs, anywhere in
. Living wage is around $10/hr or
more everywhere in the state. (Okay, I didn't check every town, but the lowest
living wage I found was close to $10/hr and most were much higher.) Even a couple with
no children, both earning minimum wage, would fall short of the living wage.
With children, forget it. Impossible. You'd have to work more than two
full-time jobs. New Jersey (and most other places in America)
In fact, the minimum wage is, in effect, a poverty wage for anyone with one child, and even lower than poverty level for someone with more than one child, as is the case for many single mothers, for example. The result is that there is little hope of ever getting out of poverty for many people consigned to the minimum wage scrapheap of the American economy. This is a far more important economic truth, and far more damaging to the economy and society as a whole, that the weak arguments about raising the minimum wage being detrimental to business. Governor Christie should have to confront these facts and address this issue, rather than basing such an important decision, which affects his constituents' lives so directly, on speculation and the wishes of self-interested businesses.
In this article by Robert Reich in Salon, he reports, among other things, that "almost a quarter of all jobs in America now pay wages below the poverty line for a family of four." He notes that many of the jobs stemming from economic growth in the coming decade will be low wage. Not surprisingly, there is a strong correlation with the weakening of labor unions.
Here is more information on the living wage from the Labor Center at UC Berkeley and the Living Wage Action Coalition.
The irony is that if people made enough to meet their needs, so many of society's problems would be lessened or resolved. This lack of a living wage is a far bigger problem than the deficit, but gets far less attention than it deserves.
UPDATE: Our friend and reader Nomad (Nomadic Joe) reminded us of the role that ACORN played in campaigning for a living wage; here is his post on the subject. EbbtideMB pointed out the work that labor unions are doing to promote living wages; here is a resolution referring to living wage ordinances passed in Michigan and elsewhere. The importance of labor unions in promoting the living wage is key, and the weakening of organized labor is such an important factor in wage stagnation.

3 newer or Lent-only fish fries
I liked these fish fries I sampled recently for different reasons - as different as the coleslaw that each serves.
Burke's Irish Castle
5328 W. Blue Mound Road. (414) 453-6088. burkesirishcastle.com
The renovated bar that was Derry Hegarty's Irish Pub looks refreshed, from the windows to the menu.
A full menu of appetizers, sandwiches and entrées was launched in January, with three fish fry options on Fridays.
The perch fry ($13) was remarkable - large fillets of flaky, white fish in a satisfyingly crunchy panko-crumb crust. On the side: seasoned waffle fries, sauce spiced with the hot sauce sriracha and a light and leafy slaw made with napa cabbage and green peppers.
The more traditional pub fry's centerpiece was thick-cut cod ($10), moist and flaky in the house beer batter. It's served with waffle fries, coleslaw and tartar sauce with roasted garlic.
A third is gluten-free: Tilapia ($12) is prepared in a separate fryer, in a thin cornmeal batter (seltzer water is substituted for beer, which contains gluten).
Other fish options on the regular menu include ever-changing fish steamed in parchment paper (market price) and blackened salmon cakes ($14) with a frizzle of fried sweet potato and poblano creamed corn.
Insider tip: Early guests might be able to finagle potato pancakes with their fish fries; once it gets busy, that's it for the night - the kitchen wouldn't be able to keep up with the orders on its flat-top grill.
Ryan Braun's Graffito
102 N. Water St. (414) 727-2888. ryanbraunsgraffito.com
Graffito usually conjures thoughts of Italian fare, but on Fridays in Lent, it serves up a cod fish fry ($13) with everything but the bread made in house, including the applesauce for potato pancakes.
You probably could count on one hand the number of fish fry spots that still make their applesauce instead of pouring it from a jar, but chef Joe McCormick said it's made in less than 30 minutes: apples, white wine, just a bit of cinnamon stick, some cooking time and a little puréeing with a hand blender, done.
Besides thick-cut cod in beer batter, the plate holds hand-cut, twice-fried french fries or potato pancakes - fried crisp, but they've got a true potato flavor and seem light, with minimal flour and the potatoes' own starch helping to hold them together. Very lightly dressed coleslaw - red and green cabbage with carrot - has a touch of horseradish and dill; the tartar sauce, part rémoulade, is lighter as well.
Other fish dishes on the menu include salmon with beurre blanc and fennel tapenade ($25) and lobster risotto ($19).
Twisted Fisherman Crab Shack
1200 W. Canal St. (414) 384-2722. twistedfisherman.com
This ultracasual restaurant in a former warehouse mostly is about the seafood, patterning itself after crab shacks on America's coasts.
For Lent, it will serve its usual Friday perch fry Monday to Saturday, said owner Russ Davis, who also operates the fish fries at Lakefront Brewery's Palm Garden and at Hubbard Park Lodge in Shorewood.
Walleye lovers: The restaurant will offer its walleye as a daily special as often as possible during Lent, not just on Fridays.
The substantial pan-fried walleye fillet ($18.95), lightly coated in seasoned flour, was exceptional: sweet, moist and fresh. It's served with what the restaurant calls its "beer blanc," a butter sauce with beer instead of white wine.
Like the fish fry, it comes with two sides. Coarse-cut coleslaw with crisp, lightly sweet apple makes such a good combination, I wondered why I'd never had it before. Mac and cheese is pure comfort; mashed potatoes with Wisconsin cheddar are dense but the real thing. Fries were crisp and hot; spiced rum-glazed carrots needed more cooking time, though - they were crisp as well.
The perch fry ($13.95) is an ample portion; the fillets themselves are thin, typical of perch at many fish fries. The flour-dredged fillets were done well, though. Cod also is available as a special.
There are other fish options aplenty: Try the Wisconsin smoked trout spread ($7) as an appetizer, or mussels steamed in white wine, garlic and butter ($8), served with bread to mop up the wine and juices. Dungeness crab ($24.95 for two clusters) was sweet and moist; drawn butter was provided but not needed.

I'm wondering if there are any hard candies that can be made w/o sugar, like peppermint candies, etc.
Also, I'm seeking candies that use unsweetened chocolate, honey that will harden (like almond/nut barks) rather than being more like a soft taffy - my wife says it can't be done without using sugar - which I don't want to use if possible.
In other words, can honey be brought to a hard(?) candy stage by boiling using a candy thermometer?
