NFL Supports Fight Against Breast Cancer
The National Football League (NFL) is joining the American
Cancer Society (ACS) to raise awareness about the
importance of breast screenings and to raise money to help
fight breast cancer.
NFL players, coaches and referees will wear pink during the
month of October to remind women about the importance of
getting mammograms and clinical breast exams to find
breast cancer early, when it’s easier to treat. The program,
A Crucial Catch: Annual Screening Saves Lives, is timed to
coincide with National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
The American Cancer Society recommends women 40 and
older have a mammogram and clinical breast exam every
year, and younger women have clinical breast exams
periodically as well.
Hats, wristbands and other apparel worn at NFL games, and
special footballs and pink coins will be auctioned off and
proceeds will benefit the American Cancer Society. Fans
attending games are encouraged to wear pink.
The NFL also has a Web page where clubs and fans can
register teams to participate in the American Cancer Society
Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk. This
noncompetitive, inspirational event raises awareness and
funds to help end breast cancer by finding cures and
supporting programs and services for all people facing the
disease.
Additionally, the Society’s advocacy affiliate, the American
Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN), is
participating in Crucial Catch by encouraging Congress to
allocate more funding for cancer research.

PREJUDICE
There is a crippling disease that no amount of medical research can cure, no amount of fundraising
can prevent – a disease most often transmitted from parent to child.
If this disease isn‟t checked in its early stages, it can be fatal. The disease is called racism. Its early
symptom is the belief that one‟s racial group is somehow superior to others. This can lead to a mentality of
“we” versus “them”. In advanced stages, the symptoms of racism are violence, death and destruction. The
causes are fear of the foreign (xenophobia), intolerance of diversity and negative attitudes toward Jews and
other minorities.
A cure, however, exists. It‟s a non-surgical change of heart. It takes time, effort and understanding,
compassion and respect.

Flourishing is the word that best describes the independent music industry at this moment in time.
The fact that new projects require smaller budgets than before has led to the creation of countless labels and
independent companies. (…)
The entire nation has managed to grasp the most positive aspects of the drive towards globalization.
Our country is diverse, creative, proactive and, above all, very young. In the past few years, the new
generation has become increasingly involved in music production, which means that there is a growing
dynamism and energy in the current music scene. (…)
There are a number of obstacles, the main one being the high level of consumption of pirated goods,
which accounts for more than 70% of the market. (…).
Another difficulty is the limited purchasing power of a large part of the population who access
content through piracy because the prices are better suited to their means. For this reason, they are not
bothered about the poor quality or the illegality of the product they buy.

THE IMPORTANCE OF ENGLISH
English is not the most widely spoken language in the world in terms of the number of native
speakers – there are many more Chinese speakers than native English speakers – but Chinese is spoken little
outside Chinese communities, so English is the most widespread language in the world. It is difficult to
estimate exactly how many English speakers there are, but according to one estimate there are more than
350,000,000 native speakers and more than 400,000,000 speakers as a second language (a language used in
everyday life, even though it is not the native language) or foreign language (a language studied but not used
much in everyday life).
However, even these numbers do not really indicate how important English is as a world language,
because less than fifteen per cent of the world population uses English. The importance of English is not just
in how many people speak I but in what it is used for. English is the major language of news and information
in the world. It is the language of business and government even in some countries where it is a minority
language. It is the language of maritime communication and international air traffic control. American
popular culture – primarily movies and music – carries the English throughout the world. (…) (p. 6).

Jobs‘s Unorthodox Treatment
By SHARON BEGLEY
Published: Oct 5, 2011
Steve Jobs was right to be optimistic when, in 2004, he announced that he had cancer in his pancreas. Although cancer of the pancreas has a terrible prognosis—half of all patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer die within 10 months of the diagnosis; half of those in whom it has metastasized die within six months—cancer in the pancreas is not necessarily a death sentence.
The difference is that pancreatic cancers arise from the pancreatic cells themselves; this is the kind that killed actor Patrick Swayze in 2009. But cancers in the pancreas, called neuroendocrine tumors, arise from islands of hormone-producing cells that happen to be in that organ. Jobs learned in 2003 that he had an extremely rare form of this cancer, an islet-cell neuroendocrine tumor. As the name implies, it arises from islet cells, the specialized factories within the pancreas that produce and secrete insulin, which cells need in order to take in glucose from the food we eat. Unlike pancreatic cancer, with neuroendocrine cancer ''if you catch it early, there is a real potential for cure,'' says cancer surgeon Joseph Kim of City of Hope, a comprehensive cancer center in Duarte, California.
But although neither Apple nor those close to Jobs were willing to discuss the treatments he elected or the course of his disease, interviews with experts on neuroendocrine tumors suggest that some of the choices he made did not extend his life and may have shortened it. [...] Despite the expert consensus on the value of surgery, Jobs did not elect it right away. He reportedly spent nine months on ―alternative therapies,‖ including what Fortune called ―a special diet.‖ But when a scan showed that the original tumor had grown, he finally had it removed on July 31, 2004, at Stanford University Medical Clinic. In emails to Apple employees immediately after, Jobs said his form of cancer ―can be cured by surgical removal if diagnosed in time (mine was),'' and told his colleagues, ―I will be recuperating during the month of August, and expect to return to work in September.''
