Here's why: The Georgia State Board of Education has approved a measure allowing local school systems to decrease the weight of the Georgia Milestones End-of-Course tests from 20% to 10% of a student's final grade. The Georgia Milestones tests assess proficiency in core subjects like English/language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. During the pandemic, the weight of these tests was temporarily lowered to 0.01% due to the shift from in-person to online instruction. Proponents of the change argue that it offers flexibility to school districts without altering passing scores. Opponents, however, argue that reducing the test weight undermines the state's graduation requirements.......This from the Georgia Sun #georgiastateboard #Boardofeducation #approved #measure #allowing #localschoolsystems #decreaseweight #gerogiamilestone #assessprofeicency #20%to10% #shits#statesgraduationrequirements Mistaken gunshots force evacuation at Arbor Place Mall on National Cinema Day: Arbor Place Mall in Douglasville experienced panic and evacuation during special $4 movie showings on National Cinema Day due to a fight among approximately 10 teenagers, resulting in two arrests. A loud noise from a fallen sign during the altercation led to reports of an active shooter, prompting the evacuation and a significant police response. Police later confirmed no evidence of gunshots or injuries. The theater, where patrons were watching movies like Blue Beetle, is expected to remain closed. The mall had a history of fights, and last year nearly 19 juveniles and one adult were arrested during National Cinema Day due to unsupervised gatherings........

Janet Henscheid grew up on a dairy farm in Idaho. Her father was a WW2 veteran and wanted his family to live in peaceful surrounding. Janet moved to Idaho to go to school. She and her husband, Don, have lived in Utah, Wyoming, and Arizona. Janet and Don are patriotic. They raised their five kids to be patriotic. Like many others, September 11, 2001 transformed their family dynamic for years. Their son, Cody, was 15 and their younger son, Landon, was only 12. Cody was only 17 in 2003 when Janet and Don agreed to sign him up to become a soldier. Cody went to basic training at Fort Knox, Kentucky the summer between his junior and senior year in high school. Their younger son, Landon, followed suit, attending basic training between his junior and senior year. Both boys came back from basic training changed. They were now responsible adults. Cody was assigned to a transportation unit. He served 18 months in Iraq. Cody suffered brain damage when the semi he was in was hit by an IED. He was awarded the bronze star. Janet had no idea about PTSD when Cody came home for R&R. He was changed, quiet, and reclusive. Cody's injuries are unseen. It took 10 years to get him discharged from service. Cody has endured addiction and divorce. Through healing, he now finds support in his wife and solace in fishing. Landon was in civil affairs. He spent his time speaking with village elders while on his first deployment in Afghanistan. Landon was assigned as a combat medic for his second deployment. Six months into this deployment, life took a drastic turn for him. Janet recalls feeling uneasy about this deployment. She was nervous. On June 16, Landon was injured and medevacked out. On June 21, Janet was finally able to speak to her son. He was having a lot of back pain, something Landon attributed to the heavy equipment he carried, but it got to the point where he was physically unable to walk. Landon underwent surgery to decompress his spine. Tumors were on his spine and around a rib. He was immediately sent to the United States and Walter Reed hospital. Landon was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer (Ewing Sarcoma) ; a cancer most often found in pediatric patients. Landon was 23. Landon's first thought was to knock out the cancer and get back to his guys in Afghanistan. Doctors told him this was not possible; chemotherapy lasted one year and radiation 3-4 months. Landon was devastated. Landon spent 14 months at Walter Reed hospital fighting the cancer. He had no feeling from the chest down. Landon thought he had beat cancer. He was moved to a spinal rehab facility. Several weeks later, the cancer came back like a ferocious beast. Landon was in severe pain. He decided to do chemotherapy again, but first there was a surgery to remove as much cancer as possible. Radiation on his esophagus made it difficult to swallow. Between the bone, nerve, and esophagus pain; plus the PTSD, Landon felt very vulnerable. A new scan was done after the second line of chemotherapy. The news was devastating, the tumor had grown. Landon's last procedure was on his esophagus. He desperately wanted to eat. Landon went into cardiac arrest. He was surrounded by doctors. Landon went into a coma. He was put on a ventilator. Landon was taken off a ventilator for a short period. Janet could see the pain in his eyes and requested that the ventilator be reapplied. Following a command by Landon's first sargeant to "Stand Down Soldier," he passed away on December 7, 2013. Janet became a gold star mother. Her desire was to help other families enduring the same heartache. Janet works in Survivor Outreach through the Utah National Guard.

Episode Summary:In this episode, we meet Dom Raban, a designer, software developer, and father of Issy. Issy underwent cancer treatment at age 13. While Issy is now a young adult and cancer-free, the lack of information given to Issy during her treatments prompted her father to create a child-centered app called Xploro. This amazing app was designed to improve the health literacy of children, to decrease procedural anxiety, and to improve the hospital experience for all children and their families.For the visually-minded who prefer to listen and read, watch the transcript video here: https://youtu.be/5evWmZZ4BS8From This Episode:About Ewing SarcomaStudy showing Xploro reduces anxiety about hospital procedures: https://www.healthtechdigital.com/new-study-shows-xploro-app-reduces-procedural-anxiety-in-children/Find and Follow Dom:Dom's LinkedIn profile: https://linkedin.com/in/domrabanXploro: https://xploro.health/Email Dom: dom@xploro.healthDom's Twitter: @DomRabanDom's Company's Twitter: @CorporationPopFind and Follow Carole and Wisdom Shared:https://www.caroleblueweiss.com/Follow me and send me a message on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/caroleblueweissFollow me and send me a message on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carole-blueweiss-pt-dpt-23970279/Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carole_blueweiss/
Listen to a blog summary of a research paper published by Genes & Cancer, entitled, "KDM3A/Ets1/MCAM axis promotes growth and metastatic properties in Rhabdomyosarcoma.” Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) and Ewing Sarcoma are among the most common types of cancer that develop in childhood. In recent years, new studies from researchers at the University of Colorado Denver Anschutz Medical Campus have contributed to the expansion of biomedical knowledge about how these diseases progress—paving a way for novel treatment strategies and therapeutics to inhibit the progression of these diseases. INTRODUCTION RMS consists of two predominant and distinct disease subtypes: fusion-positive RMS (FP-RMS) and fusion-negative RMS (FN-RMS). Fusion-positive RMS is the more aggressive subtype and shows a strong metastatic tendency to spread to other parts of the body. The sarcomagenesis of FP-RMS is driven by a genetic mutation that spawns the abnormal cancer-driving protein PAX3/FOXO1, or P3F. These P3F oncofusion genes use transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms to drive FP-RMS pathogenesis. However, little was previously known about the mechanisms P3F uses for metastasis. Recently, a team of dedicated researchers—Lays Martin Sobral, Marybeth Sechler, Janet K. Parrish, Tyler S. McCann, Kenneth L. Jones, Joshua C. Black, and Paul Jedlicka—endeavored to better understand the mechanisms and molecular pathways contributing to RMS progression, including the more aggressive FP-RMS subtype. In 2020, their influential research paper was published in Genes & Cancer and entitled, “KDM3A/Ets1/MCAM axis promotes growth and metastatic properties in Rhabdomyosarcoma.” Full blog - https://www.impactjournals.com/journals/blog/genesandcancer/how-ewing-sarcoma-led-to-discoveries-in-rhabdomyosarcoma/ Keywords - pediatric cancer, rhabdomyosarcoma, KDM3A, Ets1, metastasis About Genes & Cancer Genes & Cancer covers all aspects of the structure and function of oncogenes, growth suppressor and apoptotic genes.

Gaz showed me that that's not necessarily the right answer for everyone and that for him, taking action - like being present and making memories with loved ones and finding ways to give back to others - has been a better way for him moved forward through each setback. I thank him for that gentle reminder. Also, it was upsetting to hear that the first-line treatment for Ewing Sarcoma has not progressed in 40 years and thus leaving people living with this cancer with very few treatment options. It brought back memories of the awful countdown I used to do in my head - each time a type of therapy failed for my dad, I would panic silently in my own head about having only x number of options left. At the time, I never thought about what a luxury it was that we even had that many options to try. But again, cancer and luxury aren't two concepts that often go together.
