Investigators believe a 1,200-foot (366-meter) cargo ship dragging anchor in rough seas caught an underwater oil pipeline and pulled it across the seafloor, months before a leak from the line fouled the Southern California coastline with crude.

A team of federal inves-tigators trying to chase down the cause of the spill boarded the Panama-reg-istered MSC DANIT just hours after the massive ship arrived this weekend off the Port of Long Beach, the same area where the leak was discovered in early October.

During a prior visit by

the ship during a heavy storm in January, investi-gators believe its anchor dragged for an unknown distance before striking the 16-inch (40-centimeter) steel pipe, Coast Guard Lt. j.g. SondraKay Kneen said Sunday.

The impact would have knocked an inch-thick concrete casing off the pipe and pulled it more than 100 feet (30 meters), bending but not breaking the line, Kneen said.

Still undetermined is whether the impact caused the October leak, or if the line was hit by something else at a later date or failed due to a preexisting prob-lem, Kneen said.

"We're still looking at multiple vessels and sce-

narios," she said. The Coast Guard on

Saturday designated the owner and operator as par-ties of interest in its inves-

tigation into the spill, esti-mated to have released about 25,000 gallons (94,635 liters) of crude into the water, killing birds, fish

and mammals. The accident just a few

miles off Los Angeles' Huntington Beach fouled beaches and wetlands and led to temporary closures for cleanup work . While not as bad as initially feared, it has reignited the debate over offshore drilling in federal waters in the Pacific, where hun-dreds of miles of pipelines were installed decades ago.

The DANIT's operator, MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company, is headquartered in Switzerland and has a fleet of 600 vessels and more than 100,000 workers, according to the company.

MSC representatives did not immediately respond to email messages

seeking comment. A secu-rity guard reached by tele-phone at the company's headquarters in Geneva said it was closed until Monday.

The vessel's owner, identified by the Coast Guard as Dordellas Finance Corporation, could not be reached for comment.

The DANIT arrived in Long Beach this weekend after voyaging from China, according to marine traffic monitoring websites.

The investigation into what caused the spill could lead to criminal charges or civil penalties, but none have been announced yet, and Kneen said the probe could continue for months.

Officials from the Logan County Board of

Developmental Disabilities report that volunteers helped to deliver more than 700 dinners and prepared 3,300 meals for the 33rd annual chicken barbecue fundraiser that took place Thursday, Oct. 14.

In addition, generous donors provided for nearly 100 Pay-It-Forward tickets for needy families in the community.

“As always, the Logan County community was generous, gracious, and very supportive,” officials said. “Your support and genuine concern for peo-ple in need has once again made a difference.

“Thank you to the many businesses who have spon-sored the event through donations, purchases of dinners, and volunteering.

Without the help of these businesses, we would not have been able to have such a successful event.”

Representatives also expressed appreciation to LCBDD clients and employees and RTC Industries for their behind-the-scenes efforts to make the dinner possible.

Proceeds raised help children and adults with disabilities and their fami-lies. In addition, a portion of the proceeds continues to support the local inclu-sive playground projects. The Come Play at the Lake playground at Fox Island will be completed soon.

The agency hosted its first chicken barbecue in 1988. Since that time, a total of 60,000 dinners have been sold and more than $200,000 has been raised.

In celebration of the LCBDD’s 60th anniversary, individuals were surprised

Some of the defendants charged in the storming of the U.S. Capitol are turning away defense lawyers and electing to represent them-selves, undeterred by their lack of legal training or repeated warnings from judges.

That choice already has led to some curious legal maneuvers and awkward exchanges in court.

A New York man charged in the Jan. 6 insurrection wants to bill the government for working on his

own case. A Pennsylvania restau-rant owner is trying to defend her-self from jail. A judge told another New Yorker that he may have incriminated himself during court-room arguments.

The right to self-representation is a bedrock principle of the Constitution. But a longtime judge cited an old adage in advising a for-mer California police chief that he would have "a fool for a client" if he represented himself.

And Michael Magner, a New Orleans criminal defense lawyer and former federal prosecutor, observed, "Just because you have a

constitutional right to do some-thing doesn't necessarily mean that it's smart."

The decision by at least five defendants to defend themselves is bound to create a host of chal-lenges, particularly for those behind bars. They risk getting themselves in more legal trouble if they say the wrong thing in court. They have to sift through the mountain of evidence investiga-tors have collected in the attack. And the strategy is already testing judges' ability to maintain control of their courtrooms.

"I would never represent myself

if I were charged with a crime," U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth told Alan Hostetter before allowing him to handle his own defense against riot charges. The judge warned the ex-police chief that he has never seen anyone successfully represent himself since his appointment to the bench in 1987.

Hostetter was arrested in June along with five other men on charges that they conspired to stop Congress from certifying Joe Biden's victory in the presidential election. The indict-ment links four of Hostetter's co-defendants to the Three Percenters, a wing of the militia movement.

Hostetter, who began teaching yoga after more than 20 years as an officer, told Lamberth that the "cor-ruption of this investigation" is one reason he wants to represent him-self. His finances also were a factor.

"I believe that it's a governmen-tal strategy and tactic that if they can't convict you, they at least want to bankrupt and destroy you," Hostetter said.

Another defendant representing himself, Brandon Fellows of upstate New York, recently unsuc-cessfully petitioned U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden to release him from jail.

At the Loma Verde Recreation Center south of San Diego, demolition work is underway on a $24 million project that will rebuild the facility from the ground up, complete with a new pool. An hour's drive to the north, the iconic bridge to the Oceanside pier is deteriorat-ing because the city lacks the money for a roughly $25 million rehabilitation.

A reason one project is moving ahead and the other isn't revolves around the American Rescue Plan — the sweeping COVID-19 relief law championed by President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats that is pumping billions of dollars to states and local governments.

Under rules developed by the U.S. Treasury Department, some govern-ments have more flexibility than others to spend their share of the money as they

want. That's why the new swimming pool is a go, and the rehabbed pier — at least for now — is a no.

Similar disparities among cities across the country have prompted a pushback from local officials, who want Treasury to loosen its rules before the program progresses much further.

"Otherwise, they are penalizing cities for the pan-demic, not providing them relief," said Wade Kapszukiewicz, the mayor of Toledo, Ohio.

At issue is $350 billion for states, counties and cities that was part of the massive COVID-19 relief bill Biden signed in March. The money is intended to help shore up their finances, pay the ongoing costs of fighting the virus and invest in longer-term projects that could strengthen communi-ties for years to come. The funding was made available by the Treasury beginning in May — though states and cities have been slow to start spending it.

Ohio Hi-Point Career Center is providing incom-ing high school juniors and seniors more career pro-gram opportunities on the Bellefontaine main campus.

Beginning next school year, OHP is offering Criminal Justice and Spa Technologies as two new programs. In addition, the district’s Outdoor Careers program is changing to Heavy Equipment Operations.

“These program addi-tions and changes not only serve the student interest the district has heard and seen over the years, but also prepare students to find immediate employment in these career areas,” Ohio Hi-Point Assistant Superintendent Brad Richardson said. “We are appreciative of the commu-nity support we’ve received in establishing these pro-grams for students.”

The Criminal Justice pro-gram is for students who want to serve the communi-ty and have a career in pub-lic service.

Students develop com-munication, teamwork, leadership, and human rela-tions skills while learning and implementing patrol protocols and tactics through a variety of simula-tions. They also study con-stitutional law and explore a variety of career opportuni-ties in criminal investiga-tions, forensics, emergency response and security.

Certifications for the Criminal Justice program include: CPR/First Aid, OC/Pepper Spray, ASP Baton Certification, Taser Certification, Certified Protection Officer, and

ORDC Correctional Officer- Provisional.

In the new Spa Technologies program, stu-dents dive into skincare prac-tices, makeup application, hair removal, safety, and infection control practices.

The new student-run salon on campus will have a dedicated spa area, allowing students to focus on mani-cures, pedicures, waxings, and facials for customers. Certifications for the Spa Technologies program include a Nail Tech certifica-tion and Esthetician (skin care) license.

Additionally, the Heavy Equipment Operations pro-gram covers a variety of pathways for students.

“The Heavy Equipment Operations course was the most popular elective for OHP students; therefore, the district transitioned the elec-tive to be a full-time pro-gram,” officials said.

Students learn to use and maintain a wide range of modern equipment such as excavators, bobcats, and backhoes under actual working conditions. They’ll also be able to service, trou-bleshoot, and repair the equipment, making them an appealing hire for employers looking for skilled operators.

Certifications for this program include: NCCER Level One Heavy Equipment Operation, NCCER Core, Forklift Certification, and Manlift Certification.

In addition, three one-year programs for seniors are being added including EMT, a Nail Tech Certification and an Esthetician License pro-gram.

Additional programs on the Bellefontaine Main Campus include Animal

Science, Automotive Academy, Construction Trades, Cosmetology, Culinary Arts, Diesel Technology, Education Academy, Engineering Academy, Graphic and Media Arts Academy, Health Careers Academy, HVAC-Electric, and Welding and Fabrication.

“Students spend half the school day focused on their career program and half the school day completing their required academic courses,” said Superintendent Dr. Rick Smith.

“Our students have the opportunity to graduate with industry-recognized credentials, free college credits, valuable work expe-rience, and a high school diploma. Our staff is focused on preparing our students for whatever their “E” is — employment, enrollment, or enlistment.”

The career programs on Ohio Hi-Point’s Bellefontaine Main Campus are open to incoming high school juniors and seniors. There are limited seats avail-able in each program, and an application is required to be reviewed for admission.

Ohio Hi-Point’s applica-tion for admission launches Friday, Nov. 19, and can be found online at www.ohio-hipoint.com/apply.

Ohio Hi-Point works with 14 school districts in five counties. In addition to career programs on the Main Campus, Ohio Hi-Point also has career pro-grams in our partner dis-tricts, called satellite pro-grams, exposing students to career skills at an earlier age.

BY TOM MURPHY AP HEALTH WRITER

The first new Alzheimer's treatment in more than 20 years was hailed as a break-through when regulators approved it more than four months ago, but its rollout has been slowed by ques-tions about its price and how well it works.

Several major medical centers remain undecided on whether to use Biogen's Aduhelm, which is recom-mended for early stages of the disease. Big names like the Cleveland Clinic and Mass General Brigham in Boston say they'll pass on it for now.

One neurology practice has even banned the compa-ny's sales reps from its offices, citing concerns about the drug and its price, which can climb past $50,000 annually.

Many doctors say they need to learn more about how Aduhelm works and what will be covered before they decide whether to offer it. That might take several months to sort out. Even then, questions may linger.

"The drug won't be for everybody, even with access," said Salim Syed, an analyst who covers Biogen for Mizuho Securities USA.

Syed estimates that only around one-tenth of the peo-ple diagnosed with early-stage Alzheimer's may wind up taking Aduhelm chroni-cally, especially if regulators approve similar treatments from Biogen's competitors.

Biogen, which reports third-quarter financial results Wednesday, is not saying how many people have received the drug since it was approved on June 7. A company executive said last month that Biogen was aware of about 50 sites infus-ing Aduhelm, far fewer than the 900 the company had said it expected to be ready shortly after regulators approved the drug.

Aduhelm is the first in a line of new drugs that prom-ise to do what no other Alzheimer's treatment has managed: slow the progress of the fatal brain-destroying disease instead of just man-aging its symptoms.

"It's like a breath of fresh air," said Dr. Stephen Salloway, a Rhode Island neurologist and Biogen con-sultant who is prescribing the drug. People with Alzheimer's "know what's coming, and they want to do whatever they can to stay in the milder stage."

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Aduhelm despite objections from its own independent advisers, several of whom resigned. The agency later said the drug was appropri-ate for patients with mild symptoms or early-stage Alzheimer's.

Aduhelm clears brain plaque thought to play a role in Alzheimer's disease, and regulators made the call based on study results show-ing the drug seemed likely to benefit patients.

Biogen, which developed Aduhelm with Japan's Eisai Co., had halted two studies on the drug due to disap-pointing results. It later said further analysis showed the treatment was effective at

higher doses. The FDA is requiring

Biogen to conduct a follow-up study.

The research Biogen sub-mitted so far doesn't give doctors as much insight as they would normally have into a drug, said Dr. Brendan Kelley, a neurologist at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. Its experts are still reviewing Aduhelm.

"Biogen went to the FDA with preliminary data, so it makes it really challenging to know how to navigate," he said. More complete research would give doctors a better idea for how the drug will work in a broader patient population, Kelley said.

Cost is another concern. Biogen's pricing for

Aduhelm is "irresponsible and unconscionable," according to signs posted on office doors for The Neurology Center, a Washington, D.C.-area prac-tice. The signs also refer to Aduhelm as a medication "of dubious effectiveness" and tell Biogen sales reps they are no longer welcomed in the center's offices.

"As physicians we feel compelled to speak out and protest BIOGEN's actions," one of the signs reads.

Neurology Center CEO Wendy Van Fossen said the signs went up in July, but she declined to elaborate on why they were posted.

A Biogen spokeswoman said in an email that it was disappointing that some centers are denying access to the drug.

As for Aduhelm's effec-tiveness, company data shows that plaque removal "is reasonably likely to pre-dict a clinical benefit," said Biogen Chief Medical Officer Dr. Maha Radhakrishnan. She said regulators reviewed data from more than 3,000 patients, counting two late-stage studies and earlier research.

Doctors also are worried about whether patients tak-ing Aduhelm will be able to get the regular brain scans needed to monitor their progress on the drug.

Issues with care access weren't explored in the clinical research, which also involved patients who were generally younger and healthier than those in the broader popula-tion, noted Dr. Zaldy Tan, director of the Cedars-Sinai memory and aging program.

The Los Angeles health system is still evaluating Aduhelm. Its committee of experts is considering things like which doctors will pre-scribe the drug and how to ensure patients are moni-tored for problems like dizzi-ness or headaches develop. Bleeding in the brain is another potential side effect.

"Safety and access are real issues that need to be prioritized," Tan said.

Aduhelm also requires a deeper level of coordination among doctors than other Alzheimer's treatments, noted Radhakrishnan.

Prescribing doctors have to work with neurologists, radiologists and nurse practi-tioners to diagnose patients, confirm the presence of plaque in the brain, get them started on the treatment and then monitor them.

The Latest: Fauci dismayed by Texas’ move to ban mandates

WASHNGTON — Dr. Anthony Fauci is saying Sunday that it is "really unfortunate" that Gov. Greg Abbott has moved to ban vaccine mandates in the state of Texas.

The nation's leading infectious disease doctor, speaking on Fox News Sunday, said that the Republican governor's decision to block business-es from requiring inocula-tions would damage public health since vaccines are the "most effective means" to stop the spread of COVID-19.

Fauci was largely encouraged by the down-ward trend of coronavirus hospitalizations and deaths

across the nation and sug-gested that vaccinated individuals could have a normal holiday season with others who have received the shot. But he said that those who have not been vaccinated should continue to avoid gather-ings and should wear a mask.

He also suggested that those who received a shot of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine would likely have flexibility to get a booster from either Moderna or Pfizer. The FDA advisory panel ruled last week that anyone 18 and up who had the J&J shot was eligible to get a booster.

Raiders’ Wesson takes 5th, earns 1st-team all-Ohio honor at stateBY THE EXAMINER STAFF

Benjamin Logan senior golfer Sydney Wesson bat-tled her way to a first-team all-Ohio honor at the Division II state tourna-ment over the weekend at the Ohio State Gray Golf Course.

Playing in her final golf tournament as a Raider, Wesson shot a 79 on Friday and followed with a 78 on Saturday to finish with a two-round total of 157. That score placed Wesson in a tie for fifth, which qualified her for a spot on the all-state first team.

Wesson improved on her placement last year when she earned second-team all-state honors.

“I am incredibly proud of Sydney's mindset and demeanor over the course

of this two-day tourna-ment,” said Ben Logan head coach David Wood. “The field of competitors was top notch and the course was playing pretty tough, but Sydney never gave up on herself. She faced several putts that lipped out on day one, but didn't let that affect her going into day two. She started (Saturday) with a birdie on the first hole, and played a confident and focused game all day long in very windy conditions.

“It's hard to put into words how amazed I am with Sydney's focus and determination, even when facing tough situations. When she found the rough off the tee, she focused in and recovered as best as she could, many times getting up and down

for par. This was a great finale to an incredible career, and I am so proud of Sydney for playing her game and earning first-team all-Ohio honors.”

Ella Wong of Gates Mills Hawken won the Division II individual state title with a 146. Shelby’s Nicole Jones was second with a 148, Kristina Ma of Columbus School For Girls was third with 151, Fort Recovery’s Jalyn Bruns was fourth with 156 and Lima Central Catholic’s Emma Mayers, Marlington’s Maria Warner and Wesson all shot 157s for fifth.

Lima Central Catholic won the Division II team title. Marlington, Thornville Sheridan, Columbus Academy and Bishop Fenwick rounded out the top five.

It was the 11th league title in 13 years for the Big Orange boys.

“What an outstanding day for the Big Orange pro-gram as all four teams picked up conference championships,” said WL-S boys coach Mike Louden. “Special thank yous to Aaron Lauck and Stacey Longshore for all they do with our middle school

program. The success we have is a direct result of all of their hard work.”

Senior Dylan Lauck won the boys race in 16:31 to earn OHC runner of the year honors for the third time in his career. He was first-team all-OHC for the fourth time.

Ben Logan girls win CBC Mad River championshipBY THE EXAMINER STAFF

Benjamin Logan’s girls cross country team broke a long drought without a league cham-pionship Saturday at Northwestern High School.

The Lady Raiders edged Northwestern by three points to win the Central Buckeye Conference Mad River division

championship. Head coach Mike Coder said it

is the first league title for the Ben Logan girls since the early 1990s.

“This means a lot to all of us,” said Coder. “It is incredibly hard to put a competitive team togeth-er. A lot of teams can have one or two really good runners, but to put a whole team together like this is very difficult. We have

some young girls that really helped us this year. Everyone bought in, and that was the key to winning the championship.”

Ben Logan tallied 76 points to finish atop the Mad River stand-ings. Northwestern had 79 points for the runner-up spot, Indian Lake was third with 169 points, Graham was fourth with 170, North Union was fifth with 203

and Urbana was sixth with 310. Newcomer Georgia Bates, who

ran track last year but had never ran in a cross country meet until this season, led the Raiders on Saturday by finishing fifth out of 106 runners with a time of 21:14.

Bates split her time with vol-leyball this season.

“Georgia just loves to com-pete,” said Coder. “She had a

good track season last year, so I knew she had potential. Even though she played volleyball, too, she always made sure to get her running in.”

Estella Wenger took 11th for the Raiders win 22:08 and senior Dani Widmark was 17th in 22:25.

“I am really proud of Dani,” said Coder. “For six years, she was the number-one runner in our program. This year she had some new girls competing with her for that spot, but that did not stop her from being encouraging and support-ive of her teammates. She has been extremely unselfish.”

Mylee Boysel ran a per-sonal-best of 22:37 to finish 20th and Kerry Copenhaver ran a personal-best 22:41 to finish 23rd for the Raiders.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (AP) — Fire crews made sig-nificant progress overnight against a wildfire burning for nearly a week in Southern California coastal moun-tains, officials said Sunday.

More than 1,600 firefight-ers were battling the blaze in the Santa Ynez Mountains west of Santa Barbara on land and by air. They were able to stop its forward growth, and the blaze was 78% contained, federal offi-cials said.

The Alisal Fire started last Monday and has scorched nearly 27 square miles (69

square kilometers). It is threatening about 400 struc-tures.

A 1 1/2-acre (0.6 hectare) spot fire that ignited outside a retardant line on the blaze's northwestern corner was quickly contained by firefighters who used bull-dozer and hand lines on the ground and doused the

flames with water from the air. On Sunday, few hot spots remained, and fire crews were focused on increasing containment.

Cooler temperatures were forecast for Sunday, but winds with gusts around 20 mph (32 kph) were still expected in the area, offi-cials said.

Fire crews make big gains against Southern California blaze

AP BUSINESS WIRE

Susan G. Komen®, the world's leading breast can-cer organization, announced today the awarding of $1.5 million for three new research projects that examine three unique areas focused on metastatic breast cancer (MBC). The grants are part of the Susan G. Komen Metastatic Breast Cancer Collaborative Research Initiative, an inno-vative, first-of-its-kind col-laboration between Komen, Duke Cancer Institute and the University of North Carolina Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer

Center. The initiative is an effort to pair researchers from each of the organiza-tions to work together to address significant gaps in our knowledge about MBC to advance patient care and improve patient outcomes.

"We know that finding the cures for breast cancer will only be accomplished by working together through innovative research," said Paula Schneider, Komen's presi-dent and CEO. "It's this strong belief in the power of collaboration to advance discovery that led to this novel partnership between some of the leading

researchers at two institu-tions that are known for their rivalry."

These three grants fall under Komen's two primary research priorities, which are to find new ways to prevent, detect, and treat metastatic and aggressive breast can-cers, as well as to understand and overcome the inequities that lead certain people and communities to have higher rates of mortality from breast cancer.

"This bold investment by Komen and its supporters is aimed at changing our fun-damental understanding of metastatic breast cancer," said UNC Lineberger

Director Shelley Earp, M.D. "Combining the creative minds of two of the coun-try's premier cancer centers is the way to probe the long-standing problem of breast cancer spread. Each of these approaches will yield groundbreaking knowledge to develop better, more effective treatments by har-nessing a patient's own immune system and will identify the biological and societal drivers that con-tribute to disparities in breast cancer outcomes among Black and white women."

"We are very grateful to Susan G. Komen for their long-term dedication to improving approaches to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer," said Michael B. Kastan, M.D., Ph.D., execu-tive director of the Duke Cancer Institute. "Metastatic breast cancer remains a major challenge and this visionary funding mechanism brings together outstanding investigators and physicians from two neighboring institutions in collaborative projects that will make a difference for women in the state of North Carolina and around the country."

Thanks to a $500,000 lead gift by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (Blue Cross NC), we are able to award the Susan G. Komen and Blue Cross NC Metastatic Breast Cancer Disparities Collaborative Research Grant to:

A research team led by Drs. Jennifer Freedman and Steven Paterno of Duke Cancer Institute, and Dr. Katie Hoadley of the University of North Carolina Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, who were awarded a grant to investi-gate how the ancestry of dif-ferent populations impacts the immune response to metastatic breast cancer. The study leaders identified biological differences in cer-tain genetic events (called RNA splicing) in tumors

between those with African versus European ancestry. The team seeks to deter-mine if these differences cause breast cancer cells to grow and spread more quickly in patients of African descent and con-tribute to higher metastasis and death rates among Black women. Improved understanding of these underlying molecular mechanisms may lead the way to better treatments and outcomes."We know that the health of our state depends on the health of all our communities – and to improve health equity, we must take a closer look at the factors that drive the disparities between Black women and metastatic breast cancer," said Dr. Kia Williams, associate medical director at Blue Cross NC. "We are excited to support Komen and researchers at UNC and Duke and eagerly await the invaluable scien-tific contributions to come from this collaborative effort."

Thanks to a $500,000 gift by Gilead Sciences, Inc., we are able to award the Susan G. Komen and Gilead Sciences, Inc. for North Carolina's Metastatic Breast Cancer Collaborative Research Grant to:

A research team led by Dr. Melissa Troester of the University of North Carolina Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center and Dr. Terry Hyslop of Duke Cancer Institute for their project that will seek to use infor-mation on tumor biology and social factors in UNC's long-standing Carolina Breast Cancer Study (CBCS) to understand racial differ-ences in breast cancer metastasis and death. Researchers will also evalu-ate how life stress con-tributes to higher metastasis rates and worse breast can-cer outcomes in Black women when compared to white women. They aim to develop specific interven-tions to reduce metastasis that consider multiple fac-tors from basic biology to

societal factors in order to improve outcomes for Black women."As metastatic breast cancer dispropor-tionately impacts Black women, this innovative research to better under-stand evidence-based solu-tions to improve outcomes for Black women is crucial," said Bill Grossman, M.D., Ph.D., Senior Vice President, Oncology Therapeutics, Gilead Sciences. "Gilead is proud to support Susan G. Komen in these much-needed efforts."

Thanks to funds raised by individuals and organiza-tions in North Carolina and across the country, Komen is able to award:

A research team led by Dr. Benjamin Vincent of the University of North Carolina Comprehensive Cancer Center and Dr. Zachary Hartman of Duke Cancer Institute with a $500,000 grant for their project to develop a personalized anti-tumor vaccine strategy for patients with advanced Triple Negative Breast Cancer that would mobilize the body's immune system (T cells) to shut down tumor growth and metastasis.Spearheaded by Komen Development Director Pam Kohl, who is living with MBC, the Komen Collaborative Metastatic Research Initiative seeks to raise funds with the hope of accelerating discovery by connecting leading researchers from these two leading institutions. These three grants are the initial awards from this initiative. Those interested in support-ing additional collabora-tions can donate at www.komen.org/mbccol-laborative.

"Currently, there is no cure for MBC and the treat-ments are difficult at best," said Kohl. "Research is HOPE for the far too many of us who are living with MBC. This disease is smart, and it is relentless, but I know that these brilliant researchers at UNC and Duke will work every day to help give us the gift of time."
