Glioblastoma is the most aggressive and malignant form of glioma, a type of primary brain cancer. Surgery is often used to treat gliomas, along with radiation. However, since surgery and radiation fail to cure the disease, doctors may turn to additional radiation or chemotherapy. In early stages glioblastoma tumors often grow without symptoms and therefore can become quite large before symptoms arise. When the tumor becomes symptomatic, tumor growth is usually very rapid and is accompanied by altered brain function, and if left untreated the disease becomes lethal. Although primary treatment is often successful in temporarily stopping the progression of the tumor, glioblastomas almost always recur and become lethal.
Mayo Clinic Cancer Center has opened a new Phase I clinical trial testing an engineered measles virus against multiple myeloma, a cancer of the bone marrow that currently has no cure. This is the third of a series of molecular medicine studies in patients testing the potential of measles to kill cancer.
Glioblastoma multiforme is among the most aggressive and difficult cancers to treat. Now, researchers at Penn State University have shown that a lipid-based nanoparticle, designed to bind to a specific receptor found on malignant brain cells but not healthy ones, improves the potency of a common anticancer drug and slows significantly the growth of glioblastoma in mice.
A new method for targeting malignant brain tumors through inducing the cancerous cells to "commit suicide" has been developed by a team of researchers headed by a Hebrew University of Jerusalem professor of biochemistry.
It is estimated that 174,470 new cases of lung cancer will be diagnosed in the United States in 2006. Lung cancer is the major cause of cancer-related mortality in both men and women, with an estimated 162,460 deaths expected to occur in 2006.
Low-density lipoprotein, better known as LDL, is one of the chief villains involved in the development of coronary artery disease.
Stem cell-like glioma cancer cells that share many characteristics with normal stem cells propel the lethal growth of brain cancers by promoting tumor blood vessel formation, and may hold the key to treating these deadly cancers.
Medicine can now prevent a host of diseases with a mere shot of vaccine. Polio and smallpox are almost non-existent, and mumps and chicken pox are rarely seen nowadays.

Brain tumor specialists at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center are poised on the brink of a new era.
Inflammation cuts both ways. When invaded by an infectious agent, for example, the body calls on the forces of inflammation to fight and defeat the intruder.
In their quest to determine whether immune system surveillance guards against brain tumor development, researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center have found that allergies and asthma that stimulate inflammation may be protective, but use of antihistamines to control the inflammation could eliminate that protection.
In a study published in the March 15 issue of The Journal of Immunology, researchers at Board of Governors' Gene Therapeutics Research Institute at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center have developed a way to overcome immune privilege in the brain to eradicate potentially deadly brain tumors such as glioblastoma multiforme and other types of brain infections.
One of the deadliest and rarest forms of cancer is the focus of a Phase III study initiated by Eli Lilly and Company today.
A research team at UT Southwestern Medical Center has discovered a cell-signaling mechanism instrumental in the most common brain cancer in adults.
Scientists have devised a strategy to treat tumors by selectively targeting and killing the malignant cells. A new preclinical study, published in the open access journal PLoS Medicine, has applied the approach to combat glioblastoma multiforme (GBM).
Researchers at UCLA's Jonsson Cancer have identified key characteristics in certain deadly brain tumors that make them 51 times more likely to respond to a specific class of drugs than tumors in which the molecular signature is absent.
Does a combination of radiation therapy and the inhibition of integrins (key molecules in angiogenesis) improve the chance of cure in cancer?
Researchers at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center have identified a second promising treatment target for glioblastoma multiforme, one of the most deadly types of brain tumors. The research results are reported in the October issue of Molecular Cancer Research.
...a discovery that could pave the way for more effective cancer treatments.
Scientists from J. Craig Venter Institute, Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, and The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine identified three novel mutations in two receptor tyrosine kinases in glioblastoma tumors using high throughput sequencing.

LEEDS, Ala. – Simon Pagenaud has been on quite a roll this season, especially during the last six days when the Team Penske driver won last Sunday’s Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach.
He backed it up on Saturday by winning the pole position for Sunday’s Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama.
Pagenaud put the No. 22 Team Penske on the Chevrolet with a fast time of 1:06.7562 for a speed of 124.089 mph around the 2.3-mile, 17-turn Barber Motorsports Park road course. Team Penske teammate Will Power was second quick at 1:06.9421 (123.689 mph) in another Chevrolet.
“I’m just having a lot of fun, but of course I’m working really hard,” Pagenaud said. “I’m still working as hard as I worked before, but suddenly everything is rolling really well and really easily. The whole team is fantastic, and we don’t have to really think about it too much to make it work.
“The biggest thing for me is to make myself comfortable with the car, whatever the setup is, and once I am comfortable, I can really push it and do some things like today. So that’s where we’re at right now, and it feels really nice. We’re just going to – I don’t want to jinx it, so we’re just going to keep doing what we’re doing and not get too excited.”
Pagenaud also took pride in out qualifying his Team Penske teammate Power, who has become a master at winning poles on the street and road courses during his career.
“It’s just nice to be the fastest today,” Pagenaud said. “In qualifying it’s important to be in the lead for sure, especially here, because it’s so hard to pass and it’s such an aerodynamic racetrack. I definitely want to be ahead. It’s definitely a game that I enjoy. Qualifying is fun, and Will is definitely the best in the business, so when you can beat him, it feels nice for sure.”
It was Pagenaud’s third Verizon IndyCar Series pole and his first this season. In addition to his first Team Penske victory last week at Long Beach – the fifth of his career – the driver from France who now lives on Lake Norman in North Carolina also has a new puppy named “Norman.”
“We got a little puppy – we got him right after Long Beach,” Pagenaud said. “It’s a little Jack Russell. It makes me think of Montoya, the way he eats.”
Pagenaud was referring to his pudgy teammate Juan Pablo Montoya, but the two-time Indianapolis 500 winning driver had little to celebrate Saturday as he was the slowest of the 21 drivers in the field for Sunday’s race.
Montoya’s Chevrolet made it around the course in 1:07.5627 for a speed of 122.553 mph and will start last after he failed to advance out of his first session.
“It was OK but normally the Firestone Reds (speed tires) come in really good and they go away really fast,” Montoya explained. “For me they came in OK but they just stayed there. I could run the same lap times over and over again. It is not normal. I had too much understeer in the car and we’ve been fighting it all weekend. I felt like this morning we were where we needed to be for qualifying, but we put the Reds on there and I was thinking, ‘What the hell happened?'”
Team Penske’s four drivers include a sweep of the front row with Pagenaud and Power; Helio Castroneves just barely missing the Firestone “Fast Six” and will line up seventh on the grid at 1:07.0129 (123.558 mph) and Montoya last.
“I need to have some good finishes here to have a shot of being in the championship at the end,” Power said. “Penske has definitely got our stuff together, and Simon did a mega lap there, an awesome lap. To do that on these Reds is very good.
“It’s amazing with the amount of downforce we have now how many of the corners are such – it’s about bravery. Like you’ve really got to be committed. I think it would be a different story on the racing tires with the grade. There might be tire conservation, and hopefully it’s a good race. It has been the last few years.”
Defending Barber IndyCar winner Josef Newgarden starts third after a time of 1:07.0283 (123.530 mph) and is hoping to make it two in a row at this picturesque road course.
“It really good last year winning the race,” Newgarden said. “I think it’s a special place now for me just – I’ve always loved this track, but I love it so much more now because it’s the first place – I got my first win here, so it’s very special. But I think everyone just assumes you’re going to go back and do the same thing, and that’s been kind of hard to manage over the weekend. Not hard, but it’s just funny because everyone is like, ‘hey, you’re going to do this again, right? You’re going to win the race because you won last year,’ and I’m like, ‘well, that’s not really how it works.’ It changes every year, and things are different. You’ve always got to try and be catching up. All the teams are evolving all the time, and same as the drivers.
“We’ve been doing our best to try and keep up with the changes this year and everything that’s been going on, and you know, in qualifying I did a pretty good job. I was really proud of everyone. We hit on it right where we needed to, so I feel a lot more confident now going into tomorrow that we can try and repeat a win.”

Comcast, the largest mass media company in the world by revenue, has announced that it intends to buy Time Warner Cable, the United States second biggest cable company, for more than $45 billion in stock giving the media giant cable access to a third of American households.
Living in Venice, our cable TV needs were served by Comcast until the end of 2006. Time Warner took over the following month. Neither company was first rate. According to the American Consumer Satisfaction Index, Time Warner Cable is the second worst subscription TV service, while Comcast is the third worst, yet this merger is supposed to benefit consumers?
For an alternative to high speed internet, like the Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) supplied by Verizon, many of us were too far away from the hub at the end of the line by the sea to get anything quick enough to stream a video. According to TheNextWeb.com more than 70 percent of the American public now has broadband with cable TV supplying half the market while DSL is at 34 percent and declining.
According to the NPD group, despite the fact that inflation was just 1.5 percent last year, cable TV bills nationwide continue to rise 6 percent a year. The average pay TV bill nationwide is expected to reach $123 in 2015.
A movie lover can stream videos from Netflix at only $7.99 a month, but Comcast has pushed back at the concept of net neutrality, the precept that internet service providers (ISP) should not favor delivering one source over another to the consumer. A decision by the Washington D.C. District Court last month overturned the 2010 net neutrality FCC rules so that ISPs like Comcast can charge Netflix for delivering content, while it favors its own. What content does Comcast supply? It owns all of NBC Universal including Bravo and MSNBC; much of E! Entertainment Television; the Golf Channel and more.
Let’s look at broadband prices. The differences are most dramatic at the high end. Comcast is now offering 505 Mbps internet service for $400 per month. In contrast, Google Fiber and the Chattanooga, Tennessee municipal fiber network are providing nearly double the speed, 1 Gbps service for only $70 a month.
This proposed merger should be blocked as being anti competitive. A strict net neutrality law should be enacted. Finally, instead of the current tier system, cable TV should be mandated to offer al a carte pricing. Some people find watching golf as exciting as staring at grass grow. Why can’t we choose to pay for only the networks we watch?

Nationwide — Dr. Dale Okorodudu is on a mission to inspire a generation of Black boys and girls to consider Medicine as a career option. It’s likely you’ve heard about his Black Men In White Coats Summits, but has launched a new children’s book series called Doc 2 Doc.
According to Dr. Dale’s Facebook page, “I woke up one morning and wanted my kids to read a book about Black boys interested in something other than sports. I thought…it’d be nice for them to read about kids interested in science & medicine. Well…I couldn’t find a book for them to read…so I made it for my kids and yours!”
By grabbing kids’ attention in a colorful way, the Doc 2 Doc series promises to complement a long list of initiatives led by Dr. Dale and his team to increase diversity in the medical workforce. It is written for children ages four to eight and exposes them to basic concepts in the medical field while teaching them simple biology.
It’s clear that our community is dying to get their hands on this series. When Dr. Dale posted this on his social media accounts, the book shot up to become an Amazon best-seller in two categories even before it’s official release date.
“It’s not even about pushing kids into the field of medicine,” Dr. Dale says. “I don’t even push my own kids to do that. I’m just showing them there are other cool things they can pursue beyond what they see on TV. Medicine just happens to be one of those.”
For more details or to order a copy of the first book in Dr. Dale’s Doc 2 Doc series, visit Amazon.com.
Turning HBCU Students into Medical Doctors
According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, only 8% of medical students and 5% of physicians are Black and African American. In an effort to address this disparity, the American Heart Association, the leading public health nonprofit organization dedicated to building a world of longer, healthier lives for all, has announced that 52 students from 23 academic institutions have been selected to participate in its Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Scholars program.
The Association’s HBCU Scholars are enrolled in biomedical or other health sciences programs at their respective institutions. Through their participation in the Scholars program, they will study how the social determinants of health and other health disparities impact underserved communities. They will also participate in scientific research projects and present their findings at the end of the program.
“Since 2015, the American Heart Association HBCU Scholars program has helped change the trajectory of dozens of under-represented students in science and medicine by fostering their talent, preparedness and growth to pursue careers in biomedical science” said American Heart Association volunteer president Michelle A. Albert, M.D., M.P.H., FAHA, who is the Walter A. Haas-Lucie Stern endowed chair in Cardiology, professor of medicine and admissions dean at University of California-San Francisco School of Medicine. “As champions for health care quality and access for all, the American Heart Association is committed to building the pipeline of diverse persons in medicine and empowering the next generation of research and health care professionals.”
The program is funded by a grant provided by the Quest Diagnostics Foundation, which also supports the American Heart Association’s Hispanic Serving Institutes (HSI) Scholars Program.
“This program plays an essential role in supporting the pipeline of Black students who will increase representation and equity in the health care field,” said Mandell Jackson, vice president and general manager, Quest for Health Equity, Quest Diagnostics. “We are proud to support this next cohort of HBCU Scholars with the American Heart Association as it provides them with enriching academic and networking experiences to help them excel in their career paths.”
Accepted students are selected based on their GPA, completion of a formal application, which includes an essay, and an official recommendation from their school. During the program, scholars are paired with a mentor who works in health care or is currently performing their own relevant scientific research. They will also participate in a leadership development program and are awarded a financial stipend to help cover education-related expenses. More about the American Heart Association’s HBCU Scholars initiative can be found here.
Clinical research studies published in the American Journal of Public Health suggest that patients of color may experience uncomfortable interactions and communication barriers with their health care providers due to lack of diversity and face implicit and unconscious bias from physicians and other health care professionals. These barriers, in turn, can lower patients’ trust in the overall health care system and as a result, these patients may not complete prescribed treatments or follow-up on recommended care. Addressing this issue is a vital component of the HBCU Scholars program.
Each year, the Association seeks applications from sophomores, juniors and seniors from historically underrepresented communities who are currently enrolled in an HBCU and are interested in pursuing a professional degree in biomedical and health sciences.
SPC Placed on Top List of HBCUs in Texas
St. Philip’s College was named #4 on the Best Historically Black Colleges & Universities in Texas 2022 list by University Headquarters. SPC, the top two-year institution ranked on the state list, is the nation’s only college federally designated as an HBCU and Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI). The top three Texas HBCUs, by ranking, are Prairie View A&M University, Huston-Tillotson University (Austin) and Texas Southern University (Houston).
HBCUs are an important part of the higher education landscape. These institutions have been around for generations, with some that predate the Civil War. St. Philip’s was founded by the Episcopal Church in 1898 to educate girls who were the daughters and granddaughters of emancipated African Americans.
The college ranked #46 on the national Top 50 Best Historically Black Colleges and Universities list. On the national list, SPC is the highest-listed two-year institution.
Many HBCUs have survived years of underfunding and segregation. Initially an Episcopal school, SPC went public during the Great Depression when diocesan funding diminished. Under the leadership of Saint Artemisia Bowden, who served at the institution’s helm for 52 years, the school persisted and grew into a community college. She was named a Holy Woman by the Episcopal Church posthumously in 2015 to recognize her work in education, the church and the community.
St. Philip’s is the only HBCU in San Antonio and the most western public HBCU in the U.S.

Towns and villages
- Corfe Castle
- Lyme Regis
- Wimborne Minster - famed for its 'chained library'
Dorset is mostly rural, with a few large towns and many small villages. The county has a variety of landscapes, from steep chalk hills and wide clay valleys full of small dairy farms to the 50 mile Jurassic Coast world heritage site, popular with tourists and important to science.
The only major airport in Dorset is Bournemouth International Airport, which does flights to many cities in Europe. Bristol airport, 50 miles to the north, has a wider selection, including New York. Southampton airport, 20 miles to the east, has a good selection of European destinations also. London is just over 100 miles east.
Dorchester, Poole, Bournemouth, Weymouth and on a separate line Sherborne and Gillingham are connected directly to London, approximately 2 hours. Dorchester, Weymouth and Sherborne are connected to Bristol and Bath, about 1 1/2 hours away.
The A303 is the main route from London into the north of the county (and has Stonehenge half-way). The south of the county is connected to London by the M3 and M27, and to the Channel Tunnel by the M27 and A27. Both routes carry on into Devon and Cornwall. The A36 and A37 connect to Bath and Bristol.
The A35 between Dorchester and Bridport has spectacular views over the local countryside, as too does the coastal road (B3157) between Weymouth and Bridport. Both are probably most dramatic at sunset (driving towards Bridport) but are amazing at any time.
Much of Dorset is very rural, and though there are many bus routes, many do not have regular and often services, or may only run on market and pension days. The biggest bus company is called Wilts & Dorset which runs services to most of the major towns. Their main office is at Poole Bus Station, with satellite offices in some of the larger towns.
- Shaftesbury - charming town in north Dorset
- Corfe Castle - a National Trust site, an impressive ruined Norman castle
- The Jurassic Coast of Dorset and East Devon, a World Heritage site
- Poole Harbour - the second largest natural harbour in the world (second only to Sydney), and the largest in Europe
- Brownsea Island near Poole - a National Trust site, famous for its large population of red squirrels, and as the birthplace of the Scout Movement
- The Great Dorset Steam Fair near Blandford Forum - 600 acres of steam engines attended by over 200,000 visitors for a week in August/September each year. During the fair, the camping site becomes the largest community in the county!
- The Cerne Abbas Giant - a giant figure carved into the side of a hill by removing turf to expose white chalk
- The Isle of Portland and Portland Bill
- Wimborne Minster - a big church in a small town
- Studland Beach - a popular beach and beauty spot
- Bovington Tank Museum a very interesting tank museum.
- Swanage Steam Railway, Swanage, Dorset, England (Park at Norden Park and Ride station), . daily April to October. Ride in authentic heritage carriages for 6 miles from Corfe Castle to the seaside resort of Swanage behind an original steam locomotive £9. edit
- Gaggle of Geese Charity Poultry Auction, Gaggle of Geese, ☎ 01300 345249, . A charity poultry auction, farmers market and car boot sale is held twice a year in the grounds of the Gaggle of Geese. Flock to the pub at the end of May or the second Sunday in September to buy all sorts of poultry, all profits go to local charities. edit
Dorset has a number of local specialities including Apple Cake, Cream Teas and Blue Vinney Cheese.
Some of the best local food comes from tea shops, cafes, fish and chip shops and pubs, Not all pubs serve food all of the time and the quality varies considerably.
If you prefer international or exotic flavours the towns of Bournemouth, Poole and Weymouth will provide you with a good choice.
There are many breweries in Dorset. Hall & Woodhouse of Blandford is the largest brewing Badger Best Bitter, Tanglefoot and a variety of flavoured beers. Palmers of Bridport is the biggest brewers in the West of the County. Each of these breweries has a large number of tied pubs within the county. Other local beers often found in Dorset pubs come from Ringwood Brewery, Fullers, Marstons and Morland along with the well known international lagers.
It is possible to find locally made cider and scrumpy in some of the rural areas.
There is a vineyard at Horton north of Wimborne, but wine production in the county is low volume at best.

Young painter works to inspire love for traditional arts among children
Saturday, 2017-11-25 05:49:31
NDO – As a graduate of the Vietnam Fine Arts University, painter Duong Hoang Linh has a deep passion for the traditional arts of his Tay ethic group. In recent years, he has organised a number of activities targeting children in order to bring them closer to the traditional arts
Linh has recently established Hi Hung creative space in Hanoi, a cafeteria where children can learn about traditional Vietnamese values and cultural practices through folk games and activities. The space also hosts workshops for children and parents to join together in painting and making masks and lanterns.
With the aim of bringing joy to children and inspiring their love for the traditional arts and culture of their country, Hi Hung centre has attracted much interest and appreciation among parents.
In an interview with Nhan Dan Weekly, Linh shared his passion for traditional arts and his way to preserve the country’s folk culture.
Question: How did you develop an interest in the traditional cultural values of ethnic groups, particularly minority groups?
Painter Duong Hoang Linh: I am a Tay ethnic and I have to admit that I have not yet done anything considerable to preserve the culture of my ethnic group. After years of travelling everywhere and learning how to safeguard the cultural identities of other ethnic groups in different regions, I realised that what I can do to fulfil my dream is to share the cultural beauty of my ethnic group with others, particularly children. Then I started taking notes and recording folk games and paintings before sharing them with others in my own way.
I am happy that my efforts have gained positive results. My recent workshop on making traditional masks for the mid-autumn festival provided an interesting experience for children and their parents.
How have you featured the cultural identity of ethnic groups in your works?
By travelling and listening to people from ethnic minority groups in different regions, I believe that my paintings and sculptures feature their pure and authentic cultural identities. I paint what I like, using natural materials. I love the black colour from coal and brown from clay – I call them the colours of nature. I also make my own paper for painting and present them to my friends.
You learnt to make Do (poonah) paper by your self. How do you make it?
I spent three years working in a Do – Zo project, during which I had great time working with wonderful colleagues to seek ways to preserve the fascinating material of our ancestors. It was also the time when I returned to painting on Do paper and found that our Tay people also made the same kind of Do paper. It is called Duong paper.
It was challenging time because of the shortage of instructional documents and equipment. I had to conduct research and make my own experiments with help from locals. When you make paper manually, you must be patient and thoroughly know the steps to make it, particularly how to process raw materials.
Why do you target children in your projects?
The children that I have met bring me a fresh energy. I have a deep attachment to the past and my childhood. I want to paint with innocence in the way that children do.
Can you share with us what children can learn at your Hi Hung creative space?
Children know what they like, and I decided to inspire their interest by introducing them to folk games, telling them about the stories behind the games, as well as introducing them to traditional colours and folk paintings. I am also the story teller and guide for them.
At Hi Hung creative space, each workshop has the participation of from five to seven children. They are encouraged to ask questions on whatever they want and the instructor is not allowed to reject any questions from the children.
I take them to mountains and beaches to help them to discover and respect the differences between ethnic groups across Vietnam. I hope to inspire among them the pride of what our ancestors left for us, from the smallest things such as daily utensils like a basket or a conical hat. I want to tell them that each object is a story which their parents have not told them yet.
At your centre, children often have the opportunity to visit an ancient space such as temples and historical sites, play folk games, such as flying kites and mask making. Why do you choose to help children to access the arts in this manner?
I believe that each place children travel to and each local person they talk to will provide them with stories and knowledge. I think that the easiest way for children to remember is through toys, food and colours, so I decided to tell stories about the country’s traditions in that way.
Today, there are many arts centres staging traditional arts programmes which are so expensive that parents find it difficult for their children to gain access to the arts. What do you think about this?
It is clear that profit must be considered while doing business. However, for me, I don’t place profit first in running the Hi Hung centre. I just want to do what I want and make children happy. I simply wish to gain back the initial expense. If you take too many things into account, you will probably turn what you want into a product. And I don’t think that the past or childhood is a product for anyone to make profit from.
Thank you so much for your sharing!

Analysis Of Stresses And Displacements In Cylindrical Wood Parts Due To Shrinkage
Analysis Of Stresses And Displacements In Cylindrical Wood Parts Due To Shrinkage. Univ Fed Rio De Janeiro, Lab Hidrogenio, v. 20, p. 32-45 JAN-MAR-2015.
The shrinkage in wood can be analyzed under the point of view of the influence on stresses, strains and displacements present in the structures. Thus, the shrinkage can be computed as parcel in the stress-strain relationship, considering in this analysis a piece of wood in form of cylindrical stem without external forces, in a system of cylindrical coordinates. Due to the radial symmetry, the field of displacements is function of radius and the angular displacement is null. Considering also the longitudinal strain is constant, the strains are written in function of the reduced strain coefficients and an associate coefficient denominated by k, presented by Lekhnitskii, which depend on the material elastic properties. With this, the differential equation that conducts this problem is function of the coefficients of strain and consequently of the shrinkage. As example of the use of the regent equation and consequently determination of stresses in the radial and tangential directions it was used the elastic coefficients of the wood species Pinus caribaea obtained in auxiliary experimental procedure. In general, the results indicated the importance of verifying the influence of the shrinkage in the of radial and tangential stress state and also in displacements of the wood pieces.2013245

Here are a few of our 37 Featured Parks
The Rosenwald rural school building program which began in 1912 was a major effort to improve the quality of public education for African Americans in the early 20th-century South. By 1928, one in every five rural schools for black students in the South was a Rosenwald school, and these schools housed one third of the
region’s black school children. The Pine Grove School is an original Rosenwald School built in 1923.
The Rosenwald School Project was, at the time, the country’s best answer to improving the poor state of education for blacks in the rural South in the early 1900s. The goal of the project was to provide black children with safe, purpose-built, school buildings. Most southern counties provided few or no public school building for African American students. Therefore, they had to attend school in dilapidated structures with few amenities other than makeshift desks and benches.
Built in 1923, Pine Grove School is the last remaining Rosenwald School in Richland County. Through funding secured from the South Carolina Community Competitive Grant Program, Richland County Conservation Commission, and the Lowe’s Charitable and Educational Preservation Fund through the Richland County Recreation Foundation, the Commission has worked diligently to restore the school to its original configuration and successfully created a historic community gathering place. In 2009, the school received its National Register designation and just recently received a Historic Preservation Award from the Historic Columbia Foundation.
The Richland County Recreation Commission will use the restoration of the Pine Grove School as an opportunity to educate the residents of Richland County about the historic integrity of our area and the need to preserve and acknowledge the historic landmarks that we have. Through the Pine Grove Rosenwald Restoration Project citizens will become educated about the significance of the school and the need to preserve our area’s treasures. Pine Grove will serve as an example of how history can successfully be restored, and in turn bolster community interest in local preservation initiatives.
History of the Pine Grove Rosenwald School (circa. 1923-53)
In 1912, Julius Rosenwald gave Booker T. Washington permission to use money he had donated to Tuskegee Institute for the construction of six small schools in rural Alabama, which were constructed and opened in 1913 and 1914. Pleased with the results, Rosenwald then agreed to fund a larger program for schoolhouse construction based at Tuskegee.
By 1928, one in every five rural schools for black students in the South was a Rosenwald school, and these schools housed one third of the region’s rural black schoolchildren and teachers. At the program’s conclusion in 1932, it had produced new schools, teachers’ homes, and shop buildings in 883 counties of 15 states.
The Pine Grove School, built in 1923, was one of 15 other Rosenwald Schools constructed in Richland County. It is believed to be the only one still standing. Communities were given half the funds to build the school and they had to raise the other half. This was not an easy task for poor, rural black families, but because they felt so strongly about their children’s education, they did everything they could to raise the money. They sold quilts and other items, some provided labor and materials, while others even donated family land.
The total cost to build the Pine Grove School was $2,500, which was composed of contributions from the Rosenwald Fund, $700, the white community, $315, the black community, $285, and the public contribution was $1,200.
After the school was closed, the community raised money — $20 from each family — to purchase the land from the public school district. They used the building to hold community events and meetings.
In 2004, the community deeded the property and building to the Richland County Recreation Commission so that the building could eventually be restored to its original form.
With the assistance of University of South Carolina graduate student, Kevin Fogle, an application was submitted to the South Carolina State Board of Review for nomination of the school to the National Register of Historic Places (June 2008). The State Board voted to nominate Pine Grove and the school was deemed an historic site by the National Register of Historic places on January 29, 2009.
Since the Richland County Recreation Commission acquired the property, the Richland County Recreation Foundation has been awarded $144,000 to fund the restoration project. The Richland County Conservation Commission has awarded $94,000 and the Lowe’s Foundation granted $50,000 in March of 2009.
“Once all the restoration activities are complete, RCRC will adaptively use the building as a community museum and to house a small exhibit inside the facility. Photos, artifacts and memorabilia will be on display for all to view and appreciate. Information about the school and other historic preservation efforts in our area will be available to visitors to the site and the school will serve as an historical and educational center.”

Worklaw is a subscription based labour law service developed by leading South African labour lawyers and arbitrators. Worklaw gives you all you need to manage labour law at the workplace. Go to www.worklaw.co.za
Worklaw subscribers receive a monthly newsletter containing commentary on the latest labour law cases and trends. This newsletter contains an article which deals with "changes to terms and conditions of employment in a time of Covid-19". We also discuss three new cases: The first case considers whether an employer is liable for racism by a customer towards an employee. The second case deals with a dismissal for refusing to undergo a polygraph test. The third case looks at whether the filing of a grievance prior to a dismissal can be an automatically unfair dismissal.
This public newsletter is a free edited version of the subscriber newsletter.
Racism by a customer towards an employee
A recent case concerned the question of whether an employee can hold an employer liable in terms of s60 of the EEA for race discrimination perpetrated by a customer against the employee. S60 holds an employer liable for contraventions of the EEA by its employees.
The employee was employed as a cashier by Shoprite at its Fish Hoek branch. According to the employee, a white woman customer approached her to pay for goods and to draw cash at her till. After some confusion about the transaction between them, this astonishing conversation allegedly took place:
"I don't even know why you are sitting there. I don't know what you are doing there, you should go back, because you are so stupid. You are stupid.According to the employee, the manager adopted the view that because the customer was a regular shopper who had patronised the store for at least 30 years, she knew that this customer would not be rude to the employee and said 'she pays your salary'.
And I said, Ma'am, we assisted you and we did what you required us to do. And I don't understand now why, what is the reason for you to keep calling me stupid.
She said - You are stupid. You are a stupid k....... That is what you are, I don't know why you are sitting there, you don't know what you are doing there, you should go back to missionary."
The lack of reaction by her employer induced the employee to take her case to the CCMA. The arbitrator held in favour of the employee, concluding that the approach adopted by the employer was insufficient to address the extreme racist abuse that the employee suffered and that this amounted to indirect racial discrimination. Accordingly, he found that the employer had contravened s 6(1) of the EEA.
The employer approached the Labour Court on appeal in terms of s 10(6) of the EEA against this order. The LC questioned whether an employer could be held liable for the racist utterances of a customer as opposed to an employee? On the basis of the clear language of s60 of the EEA, the court held that it could not because the section envisaged that, if an employee while at work discriminates against another employee, the employer is liable if it does not take the necessary steps to eliminate the racist conduct. The provision could not be extended to hold that an employer was liable for the conduct of a customer directed towards an employee.
On appeal to the Labour Appeal Court in Samka v Shoprite Checkers (Pty) Ltd and Others (CA15/18)  ZALAC 11 (18 May 2020), it was held that the applicability of s60 is expressly confined to an employee as defined in s1 of the EEA. An employer exercises authority over an employee but none over a customer, and has no control over how a member of the public might behave when entering its store.
The LAC noted that whilst the employee could not sue her employer under s60, she was not without a remedy. She could sue the customer for damages, and she could also pursue an unfair discrimination claim against the customer in the Equality Court in terms of the Promotion of Equality and Prevention of Unfair Discrimination Act. But what she cannot do is to bring a case against her employer under s60 of the EEA.
The lesson of this case is that s60 of the EEA only applies only to conduct by an employee. Because an employer exercises authority over an employee but not over a customer, the scope of s60 cannot be broadened to include customer behaviour.
Refusing to undergo a polygraph test
On commencing employment, employees were required to enter into contracts of employment which contained the following clause dealing with polygraph testing:
"You hereby agree to submit to polygraph testing. The decision as to whether or not to conduct these tests rests solely with the employer, provided that testing will be conducted by competent, qualified persons and only tests recognised as reliable will be used.A situation arose where high-value goods were changed to low-value goods which resulted in no tax being payable by the particular client, to the detriment of the South African Revenue Services. An investigation took place during which all of the employees at the bond store were requested to undergo a polygraph test in terms of their employment contracts. All employees consented to undergoing the polygraph test except for four who refused.
Refusal to submit to polygraph tests in the circumstances set out above will be regarded as a serious breach of this contract, which may lead to disciplinary action and possible termination of the contract."
Meetings were held with the employees to explain the purpose of undergoing the polygraph test in order to aid the investigation. Four joint meetings and individual meetings were held with the employees, in an attempt to convince them to undergo the polygraph tests in terms of their employment contracts, and the consequences of a failure to do so were pointed out to them.
Despite these attempts the four employees refused to take the polygraph tests, resulting in charges being levelled against them and disciplinary enquiries held. All four of the employees were found guilty and dismissed for failing to co-operate with the company in conducting its investigation.
Two of the employees referred an unfair dismissal dispute to the CCMA. The arbitrator held that the dismissals were substantively unfair.
On review at the Labour Court in Crossroads Distribution (Pty) Ltd t/a Skynet Worldwide Express v National Bargaining Council for the Road Freight and Logistics Industry and Others (JR1335/14)  ZALCJHB 78 (12 May 2020), it was held that the arbitrator's award did not take into account the employer's evidence that the sanction of dismissal was warranted because of the seriousness of the incident, which may have led to SARS revoking the employer's licence. If this had occurred numerous employees would have lost their jobs. The Court seemed to accept that the conduct of the employees had a negative impact on both the business and the employment relationship. The Court also held that the arbitrator had failed to take into account the evidence that the purpose of the polygraph testing was not to establish guilt but was to narrow the investigation to assist in identifying the perpetrators.
The LC set aside the arbitrator's award and found the dismissals of the two employees to be procedurally and substantively fair. Unfortunately the LC did not refer to two relevant previous judgments in coming to its decision.
In Nyathi v Special Investigating Unit  ZALCJHB 66;J1334/11 (22 July 2011) the Labour Court held that where it is a material term of the contract to submit to a polygraph test and the employee, by refusing to do so, repudiates this material term of the contract, the employer is entitled to lawfully terminate the contract. But it would be a separate enquiry as to whether or not the dismissal will be fair.
A later decision of the LAC in Gemalto South Africa (Pty) Ltd v Ceppwawu obo Louw and Others (JA 54/14)  ZALAC 36 (27 August 2015) held that even where employees are in breach of their employment contract which permits polygraph testing, the enforcement of the term is fair only where there is reason to suspect those employees of involvement in wrongdoing. The implication of the LAC decision is that other evidence is required first before the right to test by polygraph is triggered. On this basis, it may be unfair to dismiss where the purpose of testing of an entire workforce is to narrow down the investigation, as in the Crossroads case discussed above.
Although the principle emerging from the Crossroads judgment is that a refusal to undertake a polygraph test when it is required in conditions of employment, may be serious and dismissable misconduct, we recommend that this be read in the context of the earlier Gemalto LAC judgment mentioned above.
Is filing a grievance 'taking action' against the employer?
Consider these facts: During 2015, a meeting was held in the employer's boardroom to resolve a contractual dispute with one of its subcontractors. Prior to the meeting, the employee and the employer's Project Director had a disagreement during a conference telephone call. The Project Director and the employee were amongst those who attended the meeting and openly differed about the contractual dispute during the meeting. The Project Director left the meeting shortly before it was adjourned. The employee alleged that as the Project Director was leaving the meeting, he hit her over the head with a file.
The employee immediately reported the matter to her supervisor, and visited a doctor to seek medical attention. In the days following, the employee consulted an attorney and lodged a formal grievance in terms of the employer's grievance procedure, wherein she alleged that she was assaulted by the Project Director. She also laid a criminal charge of assault at the SAPS.
A grievance enquiry was convened and chaired by an external chairperson. The enquiry held that the alleged assault was not proved and dismissed the grievance. The employee appealed against the initial finding, and the grievance appeal hearing upheld the finding of the grievance enquiry.
The employer then charged the employee with various counts of misconduct. Following a disciplinary enquiry chaired by a member of the Bar, the employee was found to have committed gross misconduct for having falsely accused the Project Director of assault and by preventing other employees from performing their duties. The chairperson of the enquiry recommended that the employee be dismissed. An appeal in terms of the disciplinary code was considered by another member of the Bar, who upheld the finding that the employee be dismissed for dishonesty. The employee was subsequently dismissed.
After conciliation at the CCMA failed, the employee referred a dispute to the Labour Court alleging that her dismissal was automatically unfair in terms of s187(1)(d) of the LRA. This section provides that a dismissal is automatically unfair if the reason for the dismissal is 'that the employee took action, or indicated an intention to take action, against the employer by - (i) exercising any right conferred by this Act or (ii) participating in any proceedings in terms of this Act.'
The Labour Court found that the evidence established a causal nexus between the employee exercising her rights to institute a grievance and her dismissal. It found that the proximate or predominant cause of the dismissal was the lodging of the grievance, rather than the alleged dishonest or false accusation against the Project Director. The Court held that the employee's dismissal was automatically unfair in terms of s187(1)(d) of the LRA, and ordered the employer to pay compensation equivalent to nine months' remuneration.
On appeal to the Labour Appeal Court in DBT Technologies (Pty) Ltd v Garnevska (JA61/2018)  ZALAC 26 (18 May 2020) it was held that the filing of a grievance about the behaviour of another employee does not amount to 'taking action against the employer' for the purposes of s187(1)(d). It is a request by an employee for action to be taken to resolve an internal problem, and it does not involve the direct exercise of a statutory right against the employer. As such, the LAC found that s187(1)(d) is not concerned with the filing of a grievance. But the court said that if there was evidence to prove that an employee was dismissed for filing a grievance, the dismissal would be unfair because it would be for a substantively unfair or invalid reason.
But if there is no evidence that the employee was dismissed for taking or intending to take action against the employer, as in this case, the unfair dismissal will not fall into the category of automatically unfair dismissal contemplated in s187(1)(d) of the LRA. The employer's appeal therefore succeeded.
What do we learn from this case? It has been held that the filing of a grievance about the behaviour of another employee does not amount to 'taking action' against the employer and, on this technical level, falls outside of the automatically unfair provision. We think it is correct that s187(1)(d) of the LRA is not concerned with the filing of a grievance. But if an employee is victimised for filing a serious and valid grievance, a dismissal is likely to be found to be substantively unfair under s188.
ARTICLE: Changes to terms & conditions of employment in a time of Covid-19
By Prof Alan RycroftOne of the grim features of lock-down has been notices to employees announcing a reduction in salary, retrenchment or other changes to terms and conditions of employment.
In this article we want to look at the legality and fairness of unilateral decisions in a time of pandemic and disaster. We recognise that a crisis understandably shifts norms - when a fire breaks out, we know we must obey the instruction to vacate immediately and it is inappropriate to require consultation at that time.
From the beginning of the pandemic, parties in commercial contracts have used the 'force majeure' or 'supervening impossibility of performance' principles to avoid contractual liabilities. Is there an equivalent principle in the employment relationship which allows management decisions to be made without consultation or negotiation?

Nationalism & antisemitism in modern Europe, 1815-1945
This latest volume in the Studies in Antisemitism Series looks at the interaction between nationalism and antisemitism in post-Napoleonic Europe. Using a framework of major historical events for the period 1815-1945, Shmuel Almog traces the radicalization of national ideology in these years and its relationship to the rise of political antisemitism. Nationalism in early nineteenth-century Europe developed originally as a liberal-democratic philosophy in opposition to existing political, social and economic structures. This coincided with a period of increasing integration of the Jewish minority into mainstream European life, particularly in economic spheres. By the 1870s, however, the continued growth of nationalist aspirations, increasingly allied to an imperialist, conservative and militaristic culture, led to a rise in discord between nations and a concomitant increase in the importance of national peculiarities. This was to have a profound effect on the Jewish communities in Europe, with the Jews being viewed as an alien and even dangerous force within the newly-created nation-states. The book argues that growing extremism in nationalist attitudes afforded a suitable ideological and social background for antisemitic activity, as manifested by calls for discriminatory legislation against Jews, the pogroms of Eastern Europe and, ultimately, the Nazi Holocaust. This analysis is substantiated and reinforced by a series of annotated documents and illustrations. This book is a clear account of the development of one of the key elements of antisemitic ideology in this important period of European history.

Exposed: The Royal Bank of Scotland deliberately destroyed small businesses to make a profit. Leaked documents prove RBS repeatedly crushed businesses, bought up their land cheaply and then sold it off for a profit.
Today, a group of MPs are considering launching an official inquiry into RBS.  If bosses at the bank are hauled in front of MPs, the public scandal could mean the big banks will never be allowed to get away with this again.
Judging by history that last statement is something that I very much doubt the worst that could happen is, someone gets held accountable, is asked to resign but still gets paid fat bonuses.

Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch declared Tuesday he's made no promises to Donald Trump or anyone else about how he'll vote on abortion or other issues and testified he'll have no trouble as a justice holding anyone accountable, including the president who picked him.
Gorsuch also called Trump's attacks on federal judges "disheartening" and "demoralizing."
During the long second day of his Senate confirmation hearings, Gorsuch made two other notable statements in response to questions from members of the Judiciary Committee, and both also related to Trump, who nominated him.
Republican Lindsey Graham of South Carolina asked Gorsuch whether Trump had asked him to overturn Roe v. Wade, the case establishing a right to abortion, and what he would have done had Trump asked him to do so.
"Senator, I would have walked out the door," Gorsuch replied. "That's not what judges do."
When Vermont Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy asked Gorsuch if a president is free to ignore laws on national security grounds, Gorsuch replied that "nobody is above the law in this country, and that includes the president of the United States."

I was going to write this week about how nice the summer has been — but then it became real summer.
I’m not complaining — about the weather, anyway — because true, hot summer is my favorite season. But I do enjoy the occasional dip in temperature as an opportunity to open the windows, and we always need summer rain, so I was happy along with everybody else about how the weather was going.
Even with the heat wave, the chance of an early fall is still in the forecast, so we always have to take it a day at a time while also preparing for the unknown future. You know, like everything else in life.
“It has been wonderfully odd,” extension agent Bob Neier said last week of our summer. I’m pretty sure I included the word “odd” in the question that I put to him. Whenever I’m not sweating 24/7 in the summer, I consider it odd. But more than 3 inches of rain in August so far is wonderful.
“This is the best summer I can remember in Kansas,” Bob went on. My favorite was 2009, when it rained regularly and we all forgot how to water. That was before the drought hit, and we had to get advanced degrees in irrigation.
“I think things are looking good, and soil moisture is deep,” Bob said. He said he was talking about Wichita, because rainfall has not necessarily been as plentiful outside of town. He said that September and October should be great for planting.
Plenty of trees finally went ahead and bit the dust in Wichita this year, and we need to keep working on beefing up our canopy. Sawtooth oaks are suffering from mysterious bark splitting near the base. And Bob pointed out that an ornamental Callery pear in the Extension’s arboretum had split even though it was cabled, and it had to be removed. He noted that the Callery pears seem to have a lifespan of only about 20 years. Then it’s time to try something new.
On the grass front, “most lawns aren’t as stressed this year, which keeps people happier with how things are looking,” extension agent Rebecca McMahon said last week.
“Weeds have been a theme. They usually are a theme,” she said. If weeds are growing in areas of the lawn where there is no grass, this fall will be the time to seed so that grass can “thicken up and compete,” Rebecca said. “This fall” means early September through Oct. 15 for fescue seeding.
The summer has been good to Botanica’s roses, landscape supervisor Pat McKernan said. Sparkling right now are the water lilies, which, being in water, always get to beat the heat. Their pristine, porcelain beauty is worth a trip into the gardens on a summer day. Some are even variegated. Also thriving in the pond are big round lotus leaves, their blossoms in perfect bud, their seedheads reminding me of some sort of comical musical instrument riding on a tall stem.
It’s interesting that the water lilies will start to flag once the temperature starts to cool, usually around mid-September, Pat said. Enjoy them while they’re hot.
Speaking of tall, summer is not summer without successful sunflower reports. The first one has come from Bobby Oates, who tried giant heirloom Titan seeds this year and has two sunflowers that have reached at least 9 feet tall so far. The heads are about 9 inches across. “I like the tall ones,” Bobby said. Titan is a winner for him.
Crape myrtles also are strong this summer, some of them not having frozen back at all last winter. Richard Nelsen points to those outside his church, West Douglas Church of Christ at 1924 W. Douglas. They’re about 23 feet tall, he figures. We usually don’t get Texas-tall crape myrtles in our cooler climate.
However, now that the weather has turned hot and dry, Bob said he would turn the drip irrigation on soon to replenish moisture if it doesn’t rain. As usual, the only way to tell how much moisture is in the soil is to dig. Dig down deep — while it’s still summer.

What is the effective range of a 44 Magnum rifle?
44 Magnum bullet can reach speeds of up to 1,380 feet per second, generating kinetic energy at themuzzle of 1,015 foot-pounds of force. That’s plenty of power, enough to take down up to deer-size game at distances of up to 50 yards.
Is 44 mag a good hunting round?
As far as its power level, the . 44 Rem. Mag., when paired with a good bullet, is enough to hunt virtually all of North America’s game, at sensible handgun ranges.
Can you shoot a deer with a 44 mag?
Yes, the 44 magnum in a rifle/carbine platform is an excellent choice for deer in brushy areas out to 100 yards. The extra barrel length of a rifle/carbine can add up to 500 FPS over a short-barreled handgun. Within range the 44 magnum with its inherently wide diameter bullet will hit a deer with authority.
Which is stronger 45 or 44 Magnum?
If you are comparing the 44 Magnum to the 45 ACP(Automatic Colt Pistol), the 44 Magnum has more power than the 45 ACP. On the other hand, the 44 Magnum has much more recoil, makes more noise and has a large muzzle blast.
Whats better .357 or 44 mag?
357 Mag is a much smaller diameter bullet than its . 44 Mag counterpart. While the case and overall length are similar, the . 44 Mag is much wider and voluminous cartridge that can hold more powder and withstand a higher amount of pressure when the powder is ignited.
What animals Can you hunt with a 44 mag rifle?
Most people who hunt with a . 44 Magnum choose 240 grain bullets for deer sized animals and black bear. Heavier weights are better for elk, moose, and larger bears. Most handguns used for this purpose have at least a six-inch long barrel.
Can a 44 mag shoot 44 special?
Yes, the . 44 Special could be fired in a . 44 Rem Mag for low recoil practice (much the way .
What is a good 44 mag load for deer hunting?
The best that I have used is the 240gr HP. Federal, Winchester and Hornady have been my choice in factory loads. I have shot a couple with the 180gr SP that have not passed completely through the deer and made blood trailing tough.
Can you hunt with a 44 mag rifle?
These 44 Magnum rifles are perfect brush and hunting guns.
Developed in the 1950s and made famous by the giant magnum revolvers in the “Dirty Harry” movies, this round delivers muzzle velocities between 1,100 and 1,600 feet per second with heavy bullets that are ideal for deer hunting or bear self-defense.
Whats the best deer caliber?
7mm-08 Remington (Winchester Ballistic Silvertip)
284 diameter bullet, is, in my estimation, the best caliber for deer of all sizes, under all conditions—which is why it deserves the top spot on this list. It has innate ballistic properties, and its short-action case, which is a necked-down .
What’s the difference between 44 Magnum and 44 special?
The . 44 Magnum is based on the . 44 Special case but lengthened and loaded to higher pressures for greater velocity and energy.
What is the most powerful handgun?
The Smith & Wesson Model 500 has held its rank as the world’s most powerful handgun since it was first introduced in 2003. The Smith & Wesson Model 500 is one impressive weapon.
Is a .357 Magnum stronger than a 44 Magnum?
As for bullet energy, the 357 comes out at 566 ft-lbs while the 44 creates 832 & 904 ft-lbs. This indicates what we already knew: The 44 magnum is much more powerful than the 357 magnum. When he changes things up to compare the most commonly-used bullet weight for each cartridge, you can really see the difference.

Gastrointestinal tract cancer, or GI cancer, may occur in a number of places throughout the digestive tract, including the esophagus, stomach, pancreas, bile duct, liver, colon, rectum and anus. These types of cancer often require aggressive treatment, including combinations of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation.
From diagnosis and treatment to navigation and support, Scripps offers comprehensive cancer care. Learn how proton therapy further extends our full range of services.
The GI tract is made up of and surrounded by intricate and sensitive tissues and organs, which makes treating gastrointestinal tumors with radiation especially challenging. Radiation must be delivered with high precision and the utmost care to maximize the dosage to cancerous cells while minimizing harmful exposure beyond the tumor, because:
- Radiation to healthy tissues around GI tumors can affect the small intestines, stomach, bowel and kidneys, as well as the heart, lungs and spinal cord. These structures are very sensitive to radiation even at low doses, and damage to them can cause significant side effects.
- If the cancer comes back after radiation therapy, further treatment options may be limited. A second round of radiation treatment is often not possible due to the higher risk of injury to these vital organs and tissues.
With any radiation technique, the potential for serious complications can be high in some cases. This can lead to a difficult choice between giving:
- a less-than-optimal dose to the tumor (which reduces the chance of remission); or
- an ideal dose to the tumor with a higher risk of radiation to healthy tissues.
Proton therapy is a highly precise form of radiation treatment that enables us to target tumors within these intricate areas. Protons deposit their maximum treatment energy directly in the tumor, so radiation exposure to healthy tissues is greatly reduced.
- Intensity-Modulated Proton Therapy (IMPT) — which is only available in California at the Scripps Proton Therapy Center — allows doctors to more selectively place high-dose radiation within the tumor, while simultaneously reducing the dose to surrounding critical organs. This can potentially result in rates of higher rates of remission, even with some of the most difficult tumor types, and lower the risk of side effects from the radiation treatment.
- Many studies have shown an increased rate of secondary cancer in surrounding areas years after patients receive radiation therapy. Research has shown that because proton therapy lowers the dose to normal tissue, this could lower the risk of secondary cancer due to radiation.
- Combined treatments of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation have become the standard of treatment for a great majority of gastrointestinal cancers. Proton therapy reduces radiation-related toxicity, which increases the likelihood that patients can complete treatment with fewer interruptions or delays due to short-term side effects.
- When compared with conventional passively scattered protons, Scripps Proton Therapy Center’s intensity-modulated pencil-beam scanning technique (IMPT) can treat more complex tumor shapes, vary the dosage within the tumor and reduce the amount of radiation to surrounding tissues. The radiation dose from pencil-beam scanning that extends beyond the target tumor has been shown to be substantially less than passively scattered protons and intensity-modulated X-ray therapy (IMRT).
- Proton therapy is often the best way to treat recurring tumors in areas that have previously been treated with radiation therapy. Treating previously radiated areas is challenging and very risky. The healthy tissues around the recurrent tumor do not “forget” the previous radiation dose, and any added dose continues to increase the risk of normal tissue injury. Proton therapy enables doctors to better concentrate the dose to the target and limit it elsewhere, allowing re-treatment with radiation in selected patients.
When you are living with cancer, you may need more than expert medical treatment. Our cancer specialists are here to help you and your family every step of the way, from scheduling appointments and answering questions to finding support services and other resources.
We offer a wide variety of services to help speed your recovery, including:
- Home health care services
- Nutrition services through Scripps Center for Weight Management and Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine
- Psychological and emotional care
- Complementary cancer care provided through Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine
Proton therapy is a highly precise form of external radiation therapy that can be used for tumor control in select patients. All cancer treatments have advantages and disadvantages. Be sure to discuss these, as well as your treatment options, with your cancer specialist.

Zuma appeared before Judge Themba Sishi on Friday on 16 charges of corruption, money laundering and racketeering.
The accusations relate to a multi-billion-dollar arms deal signed in 1999, when Zuma was deputy president.
Zuma countered with his own legal challenges, but prosecutors re-filed the charges after Zuma was forced from power by his own party in February.
Zuma, 75, appeared relaxed during the brief hearing during which the case was adjourned until June 8.
Zuma's legal team will seek a review of National Director of Public Prosecutions Shaun Abrahams' decision that there was no reason for him not to be tried.More news: Pinwheel Garden brings awareness to Child Abuse Prevention Month
His supporters descended on the city to rally for him, while his critics think court action is long overdue.
Many pro-Zuma supporters were dressed in African National Congress colours and waved party flags.
Also in the dock was a representative of Thales, a French defense company accused of paying bribes to Zuma in the arms deal.
"I am here to support him as a leader who steered the ship as the head of the ANC and embodied the party and showed us how to do the same", said 56-year-old Zodwa Ntombela, wearing an ANC scarf.More news: Mexican Government Says US National Guard At Border Won't Be Armed
Speaking in isiZulu to a large crowd gathered outside the court, Zuma defended his name and said it had been dragged through the mud.
"I am innocent until proven guilty, but there are people who want to treat me like I am guilty", Zuma said to wild cheers.
The adviser, Schabir Shaikh, was found guilty of trying to solicit the bribes and was jailed in 2005.
Members of the ANC provincial executive committee that was dissolved - after the Pietermaritzburg High Court nullified the conference that elected them in 2015 - were seen in Court A today. We are here to support Zuma, he's our leader...

Former President Jacob Zuma's corruption trial will not start in earnest before November at the earliest - and possibly not even then. But the Civil society and opposition parties have worked tirelessly to have the charges reinstated.


India’s men’s hockey team lost their sixth game out of six at the Olympics yesterday when a 3-2 defeat to South Africa condemned them to 12th and last place in the tournament.
It was the first time that the eight-time champions had gone through an Olympics without winning a match.
“We keep making the same mistakes all the time,” said Sardar Singh, one of the team’s star players. “We have to be aggressive. It was emotionally tough conceding the second goal. We have to be tough in the circle in future. We have to improve a lot. It’s very disappointing. The whole team has been mentally affected.”
Andrew Cronje gave South Africa an eighth-minute lead before Sandeep Singh levelled six minutes later. Timothy Drummond, in the 33rd minute, and Lloyd Norris-Jones, after 64 minutes, gave South Africa a two-goal cushion before Dharmavir Singh reduced the margin for India in the 66th.
Meanwhile, Belgium scored their first Olympic win over Spain since the Montreal Games 36 years ago as two goals from Tom Boon helped them to a 5-2 win and a final placing of fifth. The victory seemed likely from the second minute when Jerome Dekeyser dived in front of the goal-keeper to make a clever deflection from a short corner and put the Belgians in the lead. Spain may still have been suffering from the disappointment of two late penalty corner decisions being overturned as they pushed for the goal against Great Britain which would have earned them a semi-final place.

@squashleo05: That is because there is so much obsession abt India in Pak , its ppl and media are obsessed with India so we amuse ourselves by reading ur pathetic rants abt us... show me 3 sites where India media has commented anything abt Pakistan wining 0 medals...
Being 12th is better than not qualifying. India scored in all the games (except Belgium). If only they could defend better. Hope they will improve in this area next time. And some smirky comments coming from a country who for several outings has failed to bring home a single medal. It amazes me that such people have the guts to smirk at us. I think its better for Pakistan not to send any player to olympics next time and donate the money for something they are good at. We all know what that is !
Well i think not all but those pakistanis who support their hokey team despite their humiliating loss in olympics and not be able to win a single medal and thinking it is their gold medal for atleast they ranked above india is only damaging their country's sports and hurting the sentiments of people of pakistan.People of pakistan have send their players to win medals not to come 4th,5th,7th or whatever ranking and compare to india who has atleast given her best performance in olympics by winning 6 medals double than beijing olympics despite poor performance in hokey.if pakistan goes to olympic just for the sake of ranking not medals then i have nothing to say,it is for people of pakistan to decide what is good or bad for them.I am not saying not to support your team but along with support atleast adopt some tough stance may be that can work.As an indian i am happy at my country's performance with 2 silver and 4 bronze but still we believe we could have won 2 more medals if the controversial boxing decisions would not have taken place but 6 medals than previous 3 its ok.
And in other news, india won silver in wrestling 66kg, bronze in wrestling 60kg, Bronze in 51kg boxing, bronze in badminton, silver in 25mtr shooting, and bronze in 10ntr rifle... Hence therefore:- India in past 5 olympics:- 1,1,1,3,6. While pakistan:- 0,0,0,0,0. (now that consistancy, i envy you performance:p)
Pakistan has two gold medals now: Finishing top of India in hockey and India finishing at the bottom
National sport hockey!! And how do you fare in it? Seventh out of 12 teams.Stop making lame duck excuses. Its quite clear the obvious jealously Pakistan has for India and its people. I can even smell it in Indonesia.
@BaBa Blacksheep: india have 6 olympic medals and pakistan... none. we are in ranking but pakistan is nowhere in contention
India is great.They could have come on 13 position but unfortunately there were only 12 teams:D
Congratualtions to India for coming first.......from the bottom!
I don't know how to react on this news but yeah i am neither happy nor sad but certainly i am curious and i have a question for FIH that they have finished at 12th position lost all of there 6 matches there FIH Ranking is 11, so how did they qualified for champions trophy??
India finished last in hockey THAT IS OUR GOLD MEDAL 83 countries including India won medals in games,where is Pakistan perhapse the last one
@squashleo05: coz india's population is 1 billion... one of the web users in the world... indians are everywhere... and some are here to open eyes..
Its a great news for Pakistan.this should have been the headlines in the newspapers.
@Alapan: ET is only following your footsteps my dear. Do i need to mention here that indians only love flooding comment boxs of negative news about Pakistan otherwise they are not found anywhere on ET. Hypocrisy at its best !!!
At least we are consistent............! That surely amounts to something, no? Rajan
@Alapan: Hockey is a sport that matters to South Asians . That's why!
@Alapan: well said, even i was thinking the same...I didn't see any news about Indian players winning matches but ET is prompt in reporting their loss...India's medal tally this Olympic is 5 till toady compared to last year's 3 - Good Show India...
@Alapan: BECOZ HOCKEY IS OUR NATIONAL GAME AND V COMPARE WITH OTHER HOCKEY PLAYING NATIONS -------- SPECIALLY WITH INDIA.
interesting how much indians read and comment on pakistani newspaper and other sites!now i wonder why that is,hmmm.... .
@Alapan: So true. They really are jealous
And Afghanistan wins a bronze medal :)
In another news, India's Yogeshwar Dutt has won a bronze medal in Men's 60Kg Freestyle Wrestling making this the 5th Medal for India in London Olympics...
Why is this news not there in ET? Oh!! Only news where Pakistan is better than India deserves here...
