During her keynote speech at the 2015 Annual NAACP Milwaukee Branch Freedom Fund Dinner, acclaimed author, educator, and researcher Dr. Joy DeGruy laid out a convincing and passionate defense of the conclusions in her recently published book, “Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome: America’s Enduring Legacy of Injury and Healing.” The dinner attracted an estimated 700 NAACP supporters, elected officials and corporate representatives to the Pfister Hotel on September 25. Johnson Controls, MillerCoors, and Northwestern Mutual African American Employee Resource Group were significant sponsors, as were Fred Royal, Jr., Clarence P. Nicholas and Paul Blackman who each made matching donations. WE EnerStaff Photos gies, Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare, the Greater Milwaukee Foundation, and Gonzalez, Saggio & Harlan were also sponsors of the dinner.

Pope Francis makes first visit to U.S.
Ben Carson on Muslim President: ‘Sharia inconsistent with constitution’
Pope Francis made stops in Washington, DC, New York City and Philadelphia during his first visit to the United States September 22-27, 2015. Beginning in Washington, the Pope met with President Obama and was accorded the honor of addressing a joint meeting of Congress on September 24. His address was unusual in that it focused far more on the refugee crisis, the death penalty, racial injustice and the evils of greed. Abortion and same-sex marriage received scant coverage, according to CNN. The Pope concluded his visit to the U.S. in Philadelphia, where he first met privately with several victims of clergy sex abuse. He later celebrated Mass before an estimated crowd of 1 million on streets which The New York Times described as “lock-down emptied.” In his sermon, Pope Francis called for greater tolerance. Later he went to the Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility. It is primarily an intake jail with
The Islamic faith isn’t “consistent” with the U.S. Constitution, and a Muslim shouldn’t be president, Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson said. “I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation,” Carson said on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday. “I do not believe Sharia is consistent with the Constitution of this country,” Carson told The Hill. “Muslims feel that their religion is very much a part of your public life and what you do as a public official, and that’s inconsistent with our principles and our Constitution.” The only exception he’d make would be if the Muslim running for office “publicly rejected all the tenets of Sharia and lived a life consistent with that. Then I wouldn’t have any problem,” he said. Earlier, Carson told NBC’s Chuck Todd that the religious beliefs of a president would matter if his or her faith was inconsistent with U.S. values. His view contrasted with that of Donald Trump, the billionaire front-runner for the Republican presidential
Pope Francis 2,800 inmates. "I am here as a pastor,” the Pope said, “but above all as a brother, to share your situation and to make it my own,” he told about 100 men and women detainees who were drawn at random, according to the Associated Press. The New York Times reported that as he spoke, “burly inmates, some with shaved heads and dreadlocks and one with a tattoo crawling up his neck, watched intently. After the speech, Francis walked along the rows of inmates sitting in chairs, shaking hands, chatting, laying his hand on their foreheads and hugging a few.”
U.S. House speaker stuns Republicans by announcing resignation On Friday, September 25, 2015, U.S. House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner announced he will leave Congress at the end of October after struggling with repeated rebellions by conservatives during a tumultuous five-year reign as the chamber’s top Republican. The 65-year-old Ohio lawmaker stunned Republican House members at a meeting on Friday morning with the announcement that he would leave the top job in the 435seat chamber and resign his seat effective on Oct. 30. U.S. Representative Kevin McCarthy, 50, of California, the No. 2 House Republican, quickly became the leading contender to replace Boehner as speaker. While loyal

nomination, who said on the program that a Muslim as president is something that could happen in the future. Carson, asked by moderator Chuck Todd whether a presidential candidate’s faith should matter to voters, said it depends. “If it’s inconsistent with the values and principles of America then of course it should matter,” Carson said. “But if it fits within the realm of America and consistent with the Constitution, no problem.” Todd then asked whether Islam is consistent with the Constitution. “No, I do not. I would not
advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not agree with that,” Carson said. But Congress is a different matter, he said. “It depends on who that Muslim is and what their policies are. Just as it depends on what anybody else says. And if there’s somebody who’s of any faith but they say things and their life has been consistent with things that will elevate this nation and make it possible for everybody to succeed and bring peace and harmony then I’m with them.” Carson said he takes President Barack Obama at his word that he was both born in the United States and is a Christian. The nation’s largest Muslim advocacy group says lawmakers from across the political spectrum should repudiate Carson’s comments. Ibrahim Hooper is a spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations and says the Constitution expressly prohibits a religious test to qualify for elected office.

Freedom Fund Dinner (Continued from pg. 1) During the time that Dr. DeGruy researched her book, she said there was a shift occurring in the evidence about race. “What has brought us from there to now is a preponderance of the evidence,” she said. “We can never un-know what we now know. “It’s not plausible that after being beaten, and raped; can we agree that at least some folks suffered trauma,” she asked an unidentified member of the audience. “Then along comes freedom and is there any help then? No,” she replied. She said America suffered from cognitive dissonance of the effects that 349 years of slavery have had on the African American race, especially the family unit. She noted that within the past month two scientific studies linking trauma across generations have been published. In the first, mice were given a mild electric shock when they behaved in a particular way. Amazingly, even the children and grandchildren of the affected mice exhibited the same fear of the item which caused the electrical shock, despite the fact that

they themselves had never been subjected to the shock. In the second instance scientists were able to note changes to the DNA of Jewish descendants before and after the Holocaust. “Like Jews we need to be fully comfortable talking about our own Holocaust and we should not care what others think,” she said. Dr. DeGruy said the United States has actively worked to destroy Black families and in many ways continues to do so right up to the present. The most effective way to change Black behavior is to work with the extended family, but virtually no government programs address that, she said. “Another name for that is village,” she said, “and that does not cost $3.5 million.” “If a child is in the [legal] system chances are the family is broken,” she said. “Doesn’t it make sense to try and fix that? It doesn’t matter what behavior we are trying to change. It could be weight loss or crime or whatever. This method is scientifically proven to work.” Rather than spending money on community programs, it would be much better to spend money influencing a young man’s social circle. Get his family, friends and classmates to help, which is much more effective, she said. That

Guests at the annual NAACP Milwaukee Branch Freedom Fund Dinner wait in line to have copies of keynote speaker Dr. Joy DeGruy’s book, “Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome” signed at the Pfister Hotel on Friday, September 25, 2015. requires going out into the neighborhoods where Black families live and talking to the community, Dr. DeGruy said, declaring a clear lack of interest for that kind of field work among most white researchers. Dr. DeGruy said there is another support group within the central city that consists of schools, churches, sports clubs and mentors. Dr. DeGruy said it was important to talk with the leadership in these organizations and convince them not to contact the police at the first sign of a disturbance.
The NAACP was instrumental in the passage of the Voting Rights Act; and in brief introductory remarks prior to the opening prayer, Freedom Fund Dinner Chairperson Dr. Gloria Pitchford-Nichols warned African Americans not to become complacent. “The act of voting did not come quickly or easily to America,” she said. “Our ancestors fought and died for that right and I will not sit by and let that right be taken away. It is now our time to take up the fight for the pursuit of the liberty mantle
through our protection of voting for all.” Also during the evening the Honorable Vel R. Phillips was recognized for her long and distinguished legal career in Milwaukee which began when she was first admitted to the Wisconsin bar in 1951 and included her becoming the first African American woman judge in Milwaukee County and the first African American woman to become a City of Milwaukee Alderman and the first African American woman to serve in the Wisconsin Judiciary.
MPS procurement office conducts monthly informational session to potential vendors By Steve Waring Special to The Milwaukee Times
(Editor’s note: This is the first installment on a continuing series The Milwaukee Times has undertaken to educate business owners and our readers on who’s receiving their tax dollars and share their location and whether they employ individuals who live in the City of Milwaukee. This series will also report on procurement by the City of Milwaukee, Milwaukee County and the State of Wisconsin.) The Milwaukee Public School (MPS) system held its first monthly information session for vendors who are interested in doing business with MPS and unfamiliar with the process. The session was held September 24, 2015 at the MPS Central Services building, 5225 W. Vliet Street. In 2008 McKinsey & Co., global consulting firm released a report which in part urged MPS to make a number of changes, including reform of the vendor procurement system. “The system frequently uses outdated practices such as keeping information on slips of paper and not in a database,” the report stated and concluded that MPS could save between $10-15 million as reported at the time in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. MPS has gradually been changing its purchasing procedures, according to MPS www.milwaukeetimesnews.com

These changes are meant to make the system more transparent and to maximize value to taxpayers, she said.

What the district wants to avoid is one ‘shell company’ business dominating the market by operating under a variety of subsidiary companies. The middle-tier vendor supply process covers goods and services in the range of $5,000.01 through $49,999.99. Vendors seeking business worth this amount of money must submit a bid.

For in-
stance one vendor asked who oversaw the work of the administrator who chose the vendor; and another asked what the criteria were for submitting a successful bid. The vendors did not seem entirely satisfied with the answers offered. “We don’t have to use the lowest quote,” DeCato said. “We have discretion after we get those three quotes… We’re only held to the lowest price on sealed bids.” Work estimated to cost more than $50,000 requires a very extensive sealed bid process. This type of work is typically for major projects and a very thorough and transparent sealed bidding process must be followed and closely monitored. Information on bidding for those types of jobs is available from MPS. DeCato said that a good working relationship with MPS went a long way to ensuring that work is steered toward the motivated vendor. “The whole driving force behind our policy is inclusion and educating our kids,” she said. “Of course money is a driving force, but the metrics vary depending on the job requested. Obviously plumping repair and mindfulness training” would have different standards by which to judge quality of work performed, she added.

Milwaukee Times Weekly Newspaper
By Dr. Andrew Calhoun, Ed.D. Special to the Milwaukee Times
Looking for a party The local and national elections for 2016 are shaping up to be one for the record books in terms of who is running for some kind of public office. If you think that things are interesting now with some of the non-politicians leading in the early polls... just wait, there is more to come...for there will be more people filing their papers and paying filing fees soon. Of course main stream media has already taking their stand on candidates of the two major parties (Dems and GOP) whom they feel have the potential to reach the highest office in the nation. Each of these candidates have been given the media space to share their views, to participate in debates on national television, and to promotion their message on radio and through
social media. Additionally, main stream media continues to spend considerable time, resources and assign people to make sure that the top candidates are being covered at all times... and they call that... “being on the campaign trail.” In addition, they have posted the results of early polls of likely voters by states and from national surveys. It is truly remarkable to see how this political process begins and unfolds as time goes on during each major election cycle. Of course we must account for those candidates that drop out along the way for one reason or another. On the other hand, main stream media does not give “third party” candidates little to any attention at all. They are not considered to be major players in how things are done or “go down” in
CHILD WATCH
Washington, DC these days. Just like the two major parties, the dozen or so “third parties” do have political platforms and do offer up candidates, but struggle to get their message out due to limited access to funding and wide spread voter support. However, these “third parties” do exist and include the America’s, American Freedom, Constitution, Green, Libertarian, Objectivist, Socialism and Liberation, Peace and Freedom, Prohibition, Reform, Socialist, and Veter-
ans parties. And if we add in the other political parties that have not selected their candidates and “yes” all those (100 or so) independent and write-in candidates, it will be something to behold in some states of who is on the ballot for President. But in reality, people tend to vote first on issues and for people on the local level, “where the rubber meets the road” and “where pocketbooks are being affected.” Even at the local level in the city of Milwaukee as well as in the county, the list of potential candidates for various offices continues to grow. This upcoming and ongoing political season will be one that will seemingly amaze us all as it begins to unfold and as we try to find out who has the “best message” as we try to address the mountain of issues that are now affecting
our community. It’s going to be a wild ride for sure and getting out the vote will be another... just remember to wear your party hat. What do you think?

By: Marian Wright Edelman President of the Children's Defense Fund
The piercing cry of child poverty in economically rich but spiritually poor America “Poverty in the world is a scandal. In a world where there is so much wealth, so many resources to feed everyone, it is unfathomable that there are so many hungry children, that there are so many children without an education, so many poor persons. Poverty today is a cry.” –Pope Francis “Poverty is not an accident. Like slavery and apartheid, it is man-made and can be removed by the actions of human beings.”–President Nelson Mandela Pope Francis speaks out faithfully and forcefully against poverty and has been called “the pope of the poor.” But on his first visit to the United States there was demoralizing news about poverty, especially child poverty, in our nation—the world’s largest economy. Despite six years of economic recovery, children remain the poorest group in America. Children are poor if they live in a family of four with an annual income below $24,418—$2,035 a month, $470 a week, $67 a day. Extreme poverty is income less than half this. New Census Bureau data reveal that nearly one-third of the 46.7 million poor people in the United States in 2014 were children. Of the more than 15.5 million poor children, 70 percent were children of
color who already constitute the majority of our nation’s youngest children and will be the majority of all our children by 2020. They continue to be disproportionately poor: 37 percent of Black children and 32 percent of Hispanic children are poor compared to 12 percent of White, non-Hispanic children. This is morally scandalous and economically costly. Every year we let millions of children remain poor costs our nation over $500 billion as a result of lost productivity and extra health and crime costs stemming from child poverty. The Black child poverty rate increased 10 percent between 2013 and 2014 while rates for children of other races and ethnicities declined slightly. The Black extreme child poverty rate increased 13 percent with nearly 1 in 5 Black children living in extreme poverty. Although the Hispanic child poverty rate
An NCON Communications Publication
fell slightly, Hispanic children remain our largest number of poor children. Shamefully the youngest and most vulnerable children are our poorest during their years of greatest brain development. Nearly 1 in 4 children under five is poor and almost half live in extreme poverty. More than 40 percent of Black children under five are poor and nearly 25 percent of young Black children are extremely poor. Children’s chances of being poor depend partly on the lottery of geography which is why a national safety net for all our children to escape poverty is essential. God did not make 50 different classes of children and Mississippi’s children are as precious as Massachusetts’ children and all of their basic survival needs, health care and nutrition and housing, should be provided. New state data show child poverty rates in 2014 remained at record
high levels across 40 states, with only 10 states showing significant declines between 2013 and 2014. In 22 states, 40 percent or more Black children were poor. In 32 states, more than 30 percent of Hispanic children were poor. And in 24 states, more than 30 percent of American Indian/Alaska Native children were poor. Only Hawaii had a Black child poverty rate below 20 percent while only two states, Kentucky and West Virginia, had White, non-Hispanic child poverty rates over 20 percent. The rates are staggering, especially when we know there are steps Congress could take right now to end child poverty and save taxpayer money now and in the future. In CDF’s recent Ending Child Poverty Now report based on an analysis by the nonpartisan Urban Institute, we proposed nine policy changes which would immediately reduce child poverty 60 percent and Black child poverty 72 percent and lift the floor of decency for 97 percent of all poor children by ensuring parents the resources to support and nurture their children: jobs with livable wages, affordable high-quality child care, supports for working families like the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Child Tax Credit (CTC), and safe-
ty nets for basic needs like nutrition, housing assistance and child support. Yet Congress is perilously close again to making the wrong choices that would make many more children and families poor by leaving in place draconian budget caps which will cause more deep cuts in many of the very safety net supports evidence proves help poor children and families escape poverty. Pope Francis said earlier this year, “Those who have the task of governing are responsible for children . . . When it comes to children, in every case, there should be no utterance of ‘After all, we are not a charity,’ or ‘we’re sorry but we can’t do anything.’ These words do not count when it comes to children.” Congress must make permanent improvements in pro-work tax credits (both the EITC and the CTC), increase the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, or food stamps) benefit, and expand housing subsidies and quality child care investments for children when parents work. To complement gains in these areas and to reduce child poverty long term, we must ensure (Continued on pg.14) www.milwaukeetimesnews.com

Breast Cancer Awareness Month (Part 1) October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month as well as Intimate Partner Violence Awareness Month (formerly known as Domestic Violence Awareness Month). The first half of this month this column will highlight Breast Cancer Awareness while the second half of the month will concentrate on Intimate Partner Violence. The final article will place needed attention on Teen Dating Violence. Did you know each year it is estimated that over 220,000 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer and more than 40,000 will die? Thus, it is important to keep this issue in the forefront. Continued awareness and education highlights the importance of attending breast screenings in detecting breast cancer as early as possible and increasing the chances of successfully managing and treating the disease. Let’s look at additional facts about breast cancer in the U.S.: • 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. • Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer
in women. • Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death among women. • Although breast cancer in men is rare, an estimated 2,150 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer and approximately 410 will die each year. Risk/genetic factors Cancer grows when a cell’s DNA is damaged, but why or how that DNA becomes damaged is still unknown. It could be genetic or environmental, or in most cases, a combination of the two. But most patients will never know exactly what caused their cancer. However, there are certain established risk factors that are associated with breast cancer. • Gender: Breast cancer occurs nearly 100 times more often in women than in men. • Age: Two out of 3 women with invasive cancer are diagnosed after age 55. • Race: Breast cancer is diagnosed more often in Caucasian women than women of other races. • Family history and genetic factors: If your mother, sister, father or child has been diagnosed with breast
or ovarian cancer, you have a higher risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer in the future. Your risk increases if your relative was diagnosed before the age of 50. • Personal health history: If you have been diagnosed with breast cancer in one breast, you have an increased risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer in the other breast in the future. • Menstrual and reproductive history: Early menstruation (before age 12), late menopause (after 55), having your first child at an older age, or never having given birth can also increase your risk for breast cancer.
• Certain genome changes: Mutations in certain genes, such as BRCA1 and BRCA2, can increase your risk for breast cancer. This is determined through a genetic test, which you may consider taking if you have a family history of breast cancer. Individuals with these gene mutations can pass the gene mutation onto their children. • Dense breast tissue: Having dense breast tissue can increase your risk for breast cancer and make lumps harder to detect. Be sure to ask your physician if you have dense breasts and what the implications of having dense breasts are.

Milwaukee Rising is a project of Common Ground – a nonprofit community power organization – which is focused on restoring the housing market of the Sherman Park neighborhood. We restore and fully rehabilitate homes with new plumbing, electric, roof, mechanics, etc. Through Milwaukee Rising, 60 homes have been restored for sale to homeowners in Sherman Park over the last 4 years. Our vision is to sell homes to responsible owners who want to be a part of improving their community. Currently, we have four move-in ready homes on the market and twelve in the pipeline that are under rehabilitation. Milwaukee Rising Homes are affordable – check out the details below comparing what you may be paying right now in rent with what a monthly mortgage payment would cost. If you rent an apartment for $700 per month, you could buy one of our move-in ready homes, paying $682 per month for your mortgage. Homeownership promotes stability for families and neighborhoods. Want input on the rehab design? We offer that as well for homes we are currently working on. Contact us today! Monthly rent:

Union Hill MBC holds annual Women's Day Union Hill Missionary Baptist Church held its annual Women’s Day Service September 20, 2015 at 3 p.m. The theme for the service was “Jesus’ Women of Virtue & Their Daughters in the 21st Century.” The readings were from Proverbs 31:10-31 and Titus 2:3-5. It was the 115th anniversary of the inclusion of the Women’s Auxiliary in the Baptist Convention and the congregation recognized Dr. Nannie Helen Burroughs for her work in helping establish women as a force within the denomination. Evangelist Patsy McNeely was the guest preacher. She urged the congregation to stand out, not by putting oneself above others, but by behaving differently. “If we claim to be of the church then we cannot adopt the ways of the 21st century,” she said. “We were created to use the resources God has given us as a treasure chest.” The ideal vision for the modern woman remains unchanged from the qualities discussed in the reading from Proverbs, Evangelist McNeely said.

Task Force has had with MPS – the two groups have been collaborating for over 40 years. She then spoke to the first graders seated on the carpet who were excited about eating a healthy, family-style breakfast right inside their classroom. “School breakfast can make a dramatic difference in students’ lives. Kids who regularly eat school breakfast have been shown to achieve 17.5 percent higher scores on standardized math tests and attend 1.5 more days of school per year,” said Tussler. Dr. Driver took the podium and stressed the importance of eating a healthy breakfast and how it impacts learning. She added that through the campaign, 8,000 additional children will start their day with a healthy meal – overcoming barriers like transportation and stigma that otherwise kept students from getting breakfast.

Sherrie Tussler, Executive Director of Hunger Task Force joined forces with Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) and Superintendent Dr. Darienne Driver at Congress Elementary School today to launch No Kid Hungry Wisconsin. Nearly 83 percent of children in the Milwaukee Public School District qualify for free or reduced-priced lunch, yet only 37 percent are eating school breakfast. To combat this problem, Hunger Task Force has partnered with Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry campaign to connect more kids in Milwaukee with the healthy food they need every day. This partnership will endow resources to 20 Milwaukee Public Schools to provide breakfast in the classroom in areas of highest poverty. Sherrie Tussler kicked off the event by recognizing the partnership Hunger

New precision medicine approach to cancer treatment offers promise in eliminating cancer disparities gap Someone who is diagnosed with cancer today would typically receive treatment for their disease based on the type of cancer they have. For example, there are specific, standard treatments for patients with breast cancer or colorectal cancer or prostate cancer. That strategy is now evolving, thanks to a new approach to medicine that is focused not on where in the body the cancer is located but on what is inside the tumor itself. And in January 2015, President Obama took up the mantle of this new approach to patient care, known as precision medicine, announcing a $215 million initiative aimed at speeding progress in this area of research. The Precision Medicine Initiative, as it's called, is included in the President's 2016 budget proposal. Although the funding would support research that applies to a range of diseases and conditions, its initial focus will be on cancer, where the movement toward precision medicine has already taken hold, due in no small part to sustained and substantial federal funding support for cancer research. This support has enabled the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to make significant advances over the last decade in areas like genomics and the development of molecularly targeted therapies. At its heart, as NCI acting director Dr. Doug Lowy explains, precision medicine is about tailoring prevention, diagnosis, and treatment according to the individual
characteristics of each patient. In cancer, treatment already takes into account some characteristics of each patient. Currently, for example, treatments may be based on how a specific disease presents in each patient (for example, is it only in the organ in which it started, or has it spread?), on whether the tumor is influenced by certain hormones (as may be the case in prostate and breast cancer, for example), on whether a person has other health conditions that could influence their ability to tolerate treatment, as well as on other factors. We know in some cases that the type of tumor also makes a difference. Even if a patient has a molecular abnormality associated with response to a certain drug in a different tumor, it does not necessarily mean their (different) tumor will also shrink when they are treated with the same drug. We now have the tools to try to begin to discern in which tumors a good response is more likely. Precision medicine goes
several steps further. In cancer, for instance, factors such as where in the body a cancer originated may become less important than the molecular alterations – changes occurring in a person's genes - that are thought to be driving the growth of a tumor. There are several cancer drugs being used today, and several more under development, that are specifically designed to target and kill cells that have those mutations. Following this approach, a patient with breast cancer and a patient with stomach cancer may be candidates for the same treatment, if an analysis of their tumors shows that the same molecular alteration is fueling their cancer. Precision medicine can also be applied to prevention and screening for early signs of cancer, Dr. Lowy says. "Precision medicine is being used now in screening for cervical cancer," he explains. Virtually all cases of cervical cancer are caused by infection with the human papillomavirus, or HPV. And, based on results from a number of stud-
ies, Dr. Lowy continues, "we are now seeing the transition from the traditional Pap test for cervical cancer screening to tests that look for the presence of HPV, which the studies have shown can be even more effective at reducing the number of women diagnosed with cervical cancer." In the African American community, precision medicine holds promise in accelerating progress toward eliminating cancer disparities. Cancer has had a more profound impact on the African American community than any other U.S. racial/ethnic group in terms of the percentage of cases and deaths from cancer. Although factors such as access to care play an important role in such disparities, some studies have also suggested that part of this disparity may be tied to biological factors, including cancer-inducing molecular alterations that may be more commonly seen in African Americans than in other racial/ethnic groups. As more therapies that can specifically
target these molecular drivers of cancer are developed, it may mean that more African Americans will have access to more-effective treatments. The cancer research community recently took a major step forward in making precision medicine a reality for more people. Earlier this summer, NCI launched a cutting-edge nationwide clinical trial called NCI-MATCH. In this clinical trial, researchers are analyzing patients' tumors to determine whether they contain specific molecular abnormalities for which a targeted therapy exists and assigning treatments based on the abnormality, rather than their cancer type. The trial opened in August 2015 to adults age 18 and older with advanced solid tumors and lymphomas that are no longer responding (or that never responded) to standard treatment and have begun to grow. NCI-MATCH is open to patients at hospitals and clinics around the country, meaning that patients may not need to travel far from home to enroll in the trial. This clinical trial and other precision medicine initiatives are helping NCI researchers learn how effective precision medicine treatments can be in patients with a variety of cancer types and from a wide range of ages and racial and ethnic backgrounds. Precision medicine holds the potential to transform cancer care and reduce the gap we have today in cancer disparities, says Dr. Lowy.

report, a family history, other significant people’s reports with whom the client spends most of their time, e.g. a spouse, a teacher or parents. Also, the cultural competence of the professional and the interpretation of a client’s reports by the diagnostician can influence the determination of the diagnosis assigned to the client. This is not to assume that mental health providers are playing a guessing game. However, what is being said is that again, there are many factors. The more accurate
and reliable the information from the client, the family or significant others along with the knowledge, skill set and cultural comprehension of the professional, the more successful the therapeutic process can be for everyone. As the dawn of the mental health care system is attempting to make vital shifts to the way in which medical and mental health providers and law enforcement handle the rapidly increasing population of people living with mental illness, the more important it is for clients and
providers to work together in identifying the true diagnosis or diagnoses. Today, the treatment and care of clients is no longer about the professional being seen as omnipotent and the client being viewed as helpless. The client is in many cases seen as a partner in the recovery and maintenance process, so that survivors like AJ Mental don’t have to encounter an assembly line of health care professionals before solidifying the appropriate illness(es). Instead, clients can rest assured that they will receive accurate diagnoses, proper treatment and recovery.

Building a fraud-free family A generation ago, most families didn't think about financial fraud. Today, it can come in many forms – over the phone, through the mail and increasingly, online. It's an equal opportunity crime that affects consumers of all ages. For the 15th straight year, the Federal Trade Commission tapped identity theft as the number one source of consumer complaints in its 2014 Consumer Sentinel Network Data Book (https://
www.ftc.gov) released in February. The agency also noted a "large increase" in so-called "imposter" scams – phone calls and emails from thieves purporting to represent the government as a way to steal data and money from unsuspecting adults. Young people – particularly students – may be the fastest-growing group of fraud targets. Due to their dependence and sometimes unwitting use of computers people may be the greatest and mobile devices, young potential victims of financial fraud, according to a 2015 study (https://www. javelinstrategy.com) by Javelin Strategy & Research. More than 64 percent of respondents said they were not "very concerned" about identity fraud, but were far more likely to find out they were fraud victims long after the damage occurred, such as through a call from a debt collector or a rejection letter from a lender. Most consumers under the age of 18 shouldn't have a credit record at all. But as digital thieves become more sophisticated and federal agencies become occasionally vulnerable to hackers, critical privacy data like Social Security numbers – which many parents obtain for their children in infancy to save or

all children comprehensive affordable health care, high-quality early childhood development and learning opportunities to get ready for school and a level education playing field to help all children achieve and succeed in life. It is a great national, economic and military security threat that a majority of all children in America cannot read or compute at grade level and that nearly threefourths of our Black and Latino children cannot. New Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM) data underscore the continuing effectiveness of these and other key programs in lifting children and families out of poverty. The SPM counts income and expenses not covered in the official poverty measure. Data show key safety net programs lifted millions of people including children above the SPM poverty line between 2013 and 2014. These supports all reduced child poverty: SNAP (4.7 million people), rent subsidies (2.8 million people), and the Earned Income Tax Credit and the low-income portion of the Child Tax Credit (roughly 10 million

invest money or buy insurance on their behalf – could be at risk years before a child ever opens a bank account or applies for a loan. For all of these reasons, it may be time to think about a family fraud plan. Here are some steps to consider. • Check the accuracy of all family credit data. Parents should begin by checking their own credit reports (https://www.annualcreditreport.com/index.action) to make sure creditor data and loan balances are accurate and no inaccuracies or unfamiliar lenders have crept into their information. Once clear, adult children can make sure senior relatives are taking similar steps. As for minors, the three major credit agencies – TransUnion, Equifax and Experian – have their own website guidelines for confirming and evaluating a minor's credit data. • Make sure mailboxes are safe from thieves and any document with an account number or identifying data is destroyed before it is placed in the trash. The same goes for tax returns that are no longer needed. • Learn how to protect all mobile computer and handheld data and have a plan in place in case any family
member loses a smartphone, tablet or laptop/desktop computer. Tips are available online, from smartphone service providers and device manufacturers. • Online, by phone and in person, be wary of collection demands or requests for Social Security numbers or other specific account data unless the identity of the caller can be verified. Fraudulent calls are called "vishing" scams, similar to "phishing" scams that involve fraudulent emails, texts and websites used to illegally collect personal data. • Install all software security updates immediately on mobile devices and computers and ensure passwords are unique and frequently updated. • Sign up for fraud alerts from banks, credit card issuers or investment companies to receive immediate word of unusual or potentially illegal activity on accounts. Bottom line: Identity thieves and other financial fraudsters watch consumer behavior closely and are equally adept at stealing money and data in person, over the phone and online. Have a plan in place to protect the entire family.
people including more than 5 million children). There also is strong evidence these measures will provide long-term benefits for children. We know how to reduce child poverty but keep refusing to do it. How can our Congressional leaders even discuss spending as much as $400 billion to extend tax cuts for corporations and businesses while denying more than 15.5 million poor children—70 percent non-White—the opportunity to improve their odds of succeeding in school and in life? If we scrapped the F-35 fighter jet program, which is still not producing fully functional planes, we could use its projected cost to reduce child poverty by 60 percent for 19 years and save billions in lost productivity from school dropout and dependency costs. We can and must do more right now as children have only one childhood. As Pope Francis has said in the past, “A way has to be found to enable everyone to benefit from the fruits of the earth, and not simply to close the gap between the affluent and those who must be satisfied with the crumbs falling from the table, but above all to satisfy the demands of justice, fairness and respect for every human being.” In his histor-
ic address to a joint session of Congress September 24, he emphasized the urgency of acting now: “How much has been done in these first years of the third millennium to raise people out of extreme poverty! I know that you share my conviction that much more still needs to be done, and that in times of crisis and economic hardship a spirit of global solidarity must not be lost. At the same time I would encourage you to keep in mind all those people around us who are trapped in a cycle of poverty. They too need to be given hope. The fight against poverty and hunger must be fought constantly and on many fronts…A nation can be considered great...when it strives for justice and the cause of the oppressed.” By this measure of greatness, the United States has a long way to go. Marian Wright Edelman is President of the Children's Defense Fund whose Leave No Child Behind® mission is to ensure every child a Healthy Start, a Head Start, a Fair Start, a Safe Start and a Moral Start in life and successful passage to adulthood with the help of caring families and communities.

Peace of mind for moms in the middle By Jean C. Setzfand A survey by Ameriprise Financial found that two thirds of Baby Boomers’ daughters help their parents with financial matters. Maybe you’ve experienced it yourself. Perhaps you’ve also experienced how awkward it can be to have the talk about money matters or caregiving wishes with your parents. Then there’s the other side of the equation. Have you talked with your adult kids about your financial matters, and your vision of how you’d like to live out your life as you age? Your kids are probably as uncomfortable broaching the subject with you as you are broaching it with your own parents. This month, focus on the gift of conversation. Follow these suggestions on how to talk to your parents about their finances, and then turn around and talk to your kids about yours. It’s time to get – and give – peace of mind.
Approaching your parents Talking with your parents about their finances and caregiving preferences is bound to be awkward. They may become defensive, thinking that you don’t trust them to take care of things anymore. You know your parents best, so think about how to set them at ease. It’s helpful to say upfront that it’s a difficult conversation for both of you. Before you talk to mom and dad, put together a list
of financial and caregiving information you will need to help them. You can get help by going to www.aarp.org/ caregiving. When you’re ready, here are some tips on having the conversation. • Share a story. A great way to start the conversation is to share a story about a friend or neighbor that your parents could relate to. • Be respectful and positive. Let your parents know that you’re interested in helping make their lives manage-
able as they age. • Start small. If your parents are hesitant to talk, try taking on something small. For example, ask them to tell you where they keep their important documents. • Ask them to talk about their caregiving preferences. Do they want to age in place? Would they be open to moving into a retirement community with continuing care options? Find out if they have long-term care insurance or other means of paying for care if they need it. Talking to your adult kids Now that you’ve started the conversation with your parents, it’s time to talk to your adult kids. They will likely appreciate that you initiated the conversation so they didn’t have to! A great place to start is at www.aarp.org/caregiving. The information and tools there will help you decide what kind of future your parents want and what you see for yourself. Then create a plan to achieve those goals,
and share that plan with your family. The process includes organizing documents, calculating long-term care expenses, and creating an advance directive. An advance directive identifies the kind of care you want in the event you aren’t able to make medical decisions down the road. It’s up to you how much you want to share with your kids. Think about what’s useful to know about your own parents, and let that be your guide. At this stage of life, one of the best gifts you can give and receive is peace of mind. Talk to your parents, and talk to your kids. Peace of mind is within reach. Jean C. Setzfand is Vice President of the Financial Security issues team in the Education and Outreach group at AARP. She leads AARP’s educational and outreach efforts aimed at helping Americans achieve financial ‘peace of mind’ in retirement. She can be reached at jsetzfand@aarp. org.

Movie Time By Terri Schlichenmeyer
“Me, My Hair, and I: Twenty-Seven Women Untangle an Obsession,” edited by Elizabeth Benedict
c.2015, Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill $16.95 / $22.95 Canada 316 pages There once was a girl who had a little curl… Did you envy that nursery rhyme character? Or, like many women, have you had a love-hate relationship with your hair since you were old enough to hear nursery rhymes like that? Either way, you’re not alone, as you’ll see in Me, My Hair, and I, a collection of hair-raising essays edited by Elizabeth Benedict. Is today a good hair day, a
bad hair day – or a no-hair day? The bigger question: who’s happy with her hair? In this book, twenty-seven women answer that, as they weigh in on their tresses (or lack thereof). “For women,” says Benedict, “hair is an entire library of information...” “It’s always there, unless it’s gone or it’s hidden – and those absences tell stories too.” Your story may start with your mother, the first decision-maker when it came to your hair. She might have snipped a few strands as a keepsake once; she may’ve forced you into a “pixie” you didn’t want, a curtain of hair you hated, a shaved head that culture demanded by your first birthday, or braids done expertly. Her choices then may still influence your ‘do today. Hair can be “good” or it can be “bad” and getting the former, for African American girls, often meant time spent in the family kitchen that “would double as a torture chamber…” Heated devices burned necks and scalps and rain undid every-
thing in an instant. Getting one’s hair straightened was “controversial,” but “Whatever Black women do to their hair is controversial.” Other cultures, other controversies. Which brings up some good points: when it comes to our hair, everybody has an opinion on it – and most of them can’t help sharing. Also: we may envy someone else’s hair, while she envies our straight-wavy-bouncycurly-sleek tresses of another color-texture- thickness. We’re never happy with that which is on our heads – or anywhere on our bodies, for that matter. So perhaps the thing to do is to embrace two facts: for women, there is no such thing as a “neutral” hairstyle. There’s just not. And, hey, whatever we do with it, we get second chances: it’ll always grow back. Pick up Me, My Hair, and I and there’s one thing you’ll notice: as you comb through it, just about every one of these twenty-seven essays resonates. It’s easy, for instance, to identify with the women who

The Martian Elizabeth Benedict long for a new hairstyle to go with a new life. Readers will know exactly what one essayist means when she says hair is love. We sympathize with descriptions of hair as it circles the drain, post-chemo; with memories of childhood pulls and tugs; with the waffling decisions to dye or not; and with the shake-ourheads comments that our hair draws. Editor Elizabeth Benedict chose these essays wisely to reflect our tangled thoughts about hair, and I think you’ll agree once you open its pages. If you’ve ever cursed your curls, fought your ‘fro, or loved your locks, Me, My Hair, and I will surely grow on you.

Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with scoffers. But they delight in doing everything the Lord wants; day and night they think about his law. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season without fail. Their leaves never wither, and in all they do, they prosper. But this not true of the wicked. They are like worthless chaff, scattered by the wind. They will be condemned at the time of judgment. Sinners will have no place among the godly. For the Lord watches over the path of the godly, but the path of the wicked leads to destruction. - (Psalms1:1-6)
