Pancreatic cancer is so deadly because it’s difficult to screen the pancreas for cancers. Symptoms of pancreatic cancer are also mild, so tumors there often get diagnosed late. About half of all pancreatic cancers have advanced to stage 4 when diagnosed—meaning they are very difficult to treat because they’ve already metastasized (spread) to other organs. The American Cancer Society predicted 57,600 pancreatic cancer diagnoses in 2020, and 47,050 deaths. It’s slightly more common in men than women, and it gets more common as we get older....

That is one of the central findings of a new survey of over 3,000 executives that we conducted in partnership with The Official Board, a global directory of medium and large companies. While the respondents were largely C-Suite types, the insights and takeaways are applicable to any employee trying to maintain relevance at work during these challenging times. The goal of this global survey was to find out how the COVID-19 pandemic affected the rate at which executives’ skill became obsolete....

Like his teammates, Burns thought the play was dirty. “I feel like he tried to twist (my leg), personally,” Burns said of Jones during a news conference. MORE: Haason Reddick calls Mac Jones’ tackle of Brian Burns ‘completely dirty’ Burns’ teammate Haason Reddick had previously gone to bat for him, but this was the first Panthers fans got to hear from Burns since the tackle. Here is the play as viewers saw it happen in real time:...

The Panthers coach claimed the situation has nothing to do with potential punishment for Hardy’s alleged assault of a female in July. “We’re going through the process,” Rivera said when asked whether Carolina made the right decision letting Hardy play in wake of the Ray Rice saga. “And while we’re in the process, we’re not going to comment on the situation.” Hardy was excused from practice for a meeting with his attorney, Chris Fialko, the Charlotte Observer later reported....

That might seem like a common courtesy, but it’s noteworthy because earlier this year, longtime Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams — now with the Steelers — complained publicly that only one player attended his mother’s funeral. Sandra Hill died in 2014 of breast cancer.

Rivera told reporters Monday that he recently caught a couple players “drag racing” in the hallways of the stadium and wasn’t thrilled. MORE: Cam Newton’s best plays | Cam throws away “12th Man” towel “You see those things on YouTube blowing up and stuff?” Rivera said. “That is what concerns me more than anything else — something crazy happening.” The Panthers host the Cardinals on Sunday in the NFC championship, and the last thing Rivera wants is someone falling and getting injured with a Super Bowl appearance on the line....

This is the lowest total of the NFL’s opening week, with Carolina’s passing game a major question mark. Quarterback Cam Newton (ribs) is expected to play with a flak jacket. The wide receiver core has been completely turned over. The Line: Tampa Bay -2.5, Total: 39 Line movement: This spread opened in late April in Las Vegas with Carolina -2.5. The pendulum has swung, and with rumors of Newton not being able to play, Tampa Bay is between -1....

Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray and Orlando Magic rookie Paolo Banchero hit the court in Tacoma, Washington on Sunday at the Zeke-End tournament, hosted by Isaiah Thomas, but the action spilled off the court and onto social media. The pair, both originally from Seattle have been ever-present at Seattle’s summer runs, both turning out at Jamal Crawford’s CrawsOver just a week earlier, but tonight things got heated. Murray gave Banchero an early ‘welcome to the league’ moment, hitting the No....

The 27-year-old suffered an injury in an awful auto crash in September 2016.

Noble suffered a severe spinal cord injury on September 20, which left her paralyzed from the chest down and unable to move her hands. The teen is currently in a rehab facility where she is undergoing various forms of physical therapy. On Thursday, Noble’s family posted an update to the Facebook group “Makayla’s Fight” saying that they are continuously being told by counselors and those who have been in the paralyzed teen’s shoes “how hard this can and will be....

Ratification of the Chemical Weapons Convention was the most recent attempt to pacify the world with parchment. Critics say the CWC illustrates the paradox of arms control: arms agreements are impossible until they are unimportant. That is, where arms agreements are feasible, they are unnecessary. Critics say the CWC will protect law-abiding nations like the United States from chemical weapons attacks from other law-abiding nations, like Denmark, but not from renegades like North Korea, Iraq, Iran, Libya....

The Original Poster (OP), known as u/DramaticShame6177, posted about his situation in Reddit’s popular “Am I The A**hole” where it received nearly 6,000 upvotes and 2,400 comments. The post can be found here. Parenting and Titles As clinical psychologist John Duffy told The Wall Street Journal, children and teenagers often refer to their parents by their first name to test the power dynamics within the family. “It’s a bit like using a curse word for the first time, or starting to drink coffee,” Duffy said....

All of the shows, aside from the TV-14 rated Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, are rated TV-MA and have drawn scrutiny from U.S. parental organizations—notably the Parents Television and Media Council, which said the streaming network’s “foray into TV-MA-rated fare will forever tarnish its family friendly crown.” PTC President Tim Winter told Newsweek that the addition of TV-MA content “is repudiating the very reason why millions (perhaps even billions) of parents around the world have come to rely on the Walt Disney brand....

Volunteer Charlie Hannerton, 27, took photos of the mess of clothing and bedding in the border town of Medyka, near Przemysl, in Poland. He claims the donations arrive by the truckload from all over Europe, but volunteers don’t have time to sort through the unlabeled and unsorted boxes. Properly labeled and sorted boxes with required items such as sanitary napkins and diapers are taken to a nearby warehouse and handed out to refugees, he said....

Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer said having the jury view the crime scene “remains useful and proper” because it will “assist the jury in analyzing and applying the evidence presented at trial,” the Associated Press reported. Cruz, 23, pleaded guilty last October to 17 counts of murder and 17 counts of attempted murder in the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, where 17 people were killed. The sentencing trial will determine whether he receives the death penalty or life in prison....

Before the game, Anderson hosted the hockey team from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, site of February’s mass shooting that left 17 people dead and 14 others wounded.

The 36-year-old stopped 35 of the 38 shots he faced and the Senators held on for a 5-3 win....

Maloney, the Democratic chairwoman of the House Oversight Committee, presented research into why the response was so slow to requests for aid from the Capitol Police on January 6. “The threats, I would say, were everywhere,” Maloney said. “The system was blinking red.” Maloney questioned FBI Director Christopher A. Wray about the bureau’s lack of a response to several intelligence alerts pre-riots, particularly dozens of warnings from Parler. The “Committee has obtained docs showing that…Parler sent the FBI evidence of planned violence in DC on January 6....

What Does a Partial Response Mean? Partial response (PR) implies that further treatment will probably be required to attempt a cure. In some slow-growing tumors (including low-grade lymphomas) no further treatment may be immediately necessary until the disease starts increasing in size again. Understanding Terms Describing Cancer Treatment There are so many terms used to describe cancer treatment that it gets terribly confusing. Thankfully many of these means about the same thing....

Pittsburgh’s string of terrible luck has continued with the team’s announcement Wednesday that Pascal Dupuis has a blood clot in his lung (also known as a pulmonary embolus or PE), and is out for a minimum of six months. Monday’s vague “chest discomfort” was the warning sign that led to the diagnosis, and the treatment will involve at least six months of blood thinners — something that precludes any involvement in contact sports....
