Are fit featuring an episode each day. 7 pm eastern on cspan. At tthe cspan, a look the justice y and system. The director of the equal with Ce Initiative ssince sister helen prejean. Heres a preview. Remember being shocked dead rned a lot through men walking, and people who had been executed. It shocked me profoundly. One of the things is when you write a book, you do research. I learned about police brutality. Also, when slavery was the 13th in amendment, it was except for are in prison they are indentured servants. It has not been abolished completely in this country. Have been amazed. Say it the to racism in the supreme court. Study in georgia death sentences giving, and overwhelmingly corresponds to when the victim the Death Penalty makes news when the victim makes ck, the news barely a blip. You are lucky if you can find five lines on page 30, in the case of someone from st. Thomas. When a white person was killed, it was always on the front page of the paper. Not long ago, we sta
I am karen brooks. I want to thank you both for a lifetime of science. Can you speak to the state of research and treatment for brain cancer and other such forms of cancer . We have made tremendous progress across many different fronts. Among the most challenging, to diseases i spent time studying in my laboratory is the brain cancer that took senator kennedys life and also pancreas cancer. There has been a tremendous amount of basic science work that has given us the atlas of genes in those cancers, really outstanding genetic model systems that help us understand what those genes do, but we are faced with converting noninformation into therapies that truly treat those diseases. I am cautiously optimistic of early data beginning to emerge in the immunotherapy space which may give us a foothold upon which we can build quite rapidly. A good example, another disease we studied because it is a very lent disease virulent diseases melanoma. In 2009 there were very few advances that had any i
Instead, harnesses the power of the immune system in the hopes, reawakens it so it recognizes that cancer and can attack the cancer. Those therapies are giving responses in a large fraction of patients with advanced disease. And so, if we begin to combine the targeted therapies going after the genes, harnesses the power of the immune system, i think what you will see over the next 510 years are significant reductions in cancer mortality. We are seeing cap for melanoma. And a variety of other cancers across the board. It sounds extremely complex to do targeted therapy based on specific genetic mutations. I wonder if doctors, it is one thing to be at a great institution, what if you are at some other place . Are doctors able to keep up and provide the kind of care that is made such a difference . Other great institutions, George Washington here in this area and so on and so forth, the issue is really the knowledge gap that you are referring to. It is a significant one. There was a report
September 28th, and the fire here was at the home of the ceo of coupe are University Health system, the fire was contained to the upstairs master bedroom to the home in montgomery township, and that is, where seven twoyear old ceo John Sheridan and his wife joyce were found. Mr. Sheridan was pronounced dead at the scene. The his 69 yearold wife was pronounced dead at the hospital. Late this afternoon as we mentioned, we have learn that the Somerset County prosecutors Arson Task Force ruled that the fire was intentionally set, however, no further new updated information was provided. So we are still waiting to hear the results of the autopsies, as well as other Laboratory Testing to learn exactly how the couple may have died. Late tonight, the cooper University Health released a statement saying quote we are saddened and shocked by what has been reported about the death of John Sheridan and his wife, joyce. Their deaths already unbelievably sad are now tragic. Our deepest condolences go
Erickson with eyewitness weather. Great to see you up so early this morning. I love this. Path the path and i, you and i go back so far. We are looking at a very drizzly start to the day as we fully expect but this is not a wash out for the entire day. It is moving quickly and it will be out of here. We will find sunshine later this a afternoon but you can see looking at weather neighborhood at reading 64 in reading right now. Off in the distance you can tell that the roads are wet up there. Storm scan three this is a closer look right now and you can see we find these rain showers out there we are seeing them scattered around, they are just about to move again in the wilmington area we are fining them through vineland as well and we will find, more and more of these showers, this morning, until this thing finally gets out of here. You can see bulk of the precipitation right now but there is not a lot as we zoom in a little bit but it is out there, scattered and. Expect to find wet roa
