On average, deficits are slight and limited to verbal ability and visuospatial skills

A large meta-analysis conducted by researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center has concluded that breast cancer patients treated with chemotherapy are at risk for mild cognitive deficits after treatment. The meta-analysis, or analytic review of previously published studies, found that study participants on average had mild impairments in verbal abilities (such as difficulty choosing words) and visuospatial abilities (such as getting lost more easily). The study noted that cognitive functioning varies across survivors, with some reporting no impairments and others reporting more severe or pervasive deficits.

The study was published in a recent issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology. The research was supported in part by the National Cancer Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health, through grant number K07 CA138499.

"The objective of our analysis was to clarify existing research on cognitive functioning in patients who had received standard dose chemotherapy for breast cancer at least six months previously," said study lead author Heather S.L. Jim, Ph.D., an assistant member at Moffitt whose research focuses on the psychosocial and behavioral aspects of cancer survivorship. "Earlier studies had reported conflicting evidence on the severity of cognitive deficits, especially over the long term."

Although this is an active area of research, an overall analysis of the studies had not been performed since 2006, explained the researchers.

"Our analysis indicated that patients previously treated with chemotherapy performed significantly worse on tests of verbal ability than individuals without cancer," noted co-author Paul B. Jacobsen, Moffitt senior member and associate center director of Population Sciences. "In addition, patients treated with chemotherapy performed significantly worse on tests of visuospatial ability than patients who had not had chemotherapy."

"Breast cancer patients treated with chemotherapy who have subsequent cognitive deficits should be referred to a neuropsychologist for evaluation and management of the deficits," Jim said. "Management usually involves developing an awareness of the situations in which their cognitive difficulties are likely to arise so that they can come up with strategies to compensate. Research shows that such strategies can make a big difference in daily life when cognitive difficulties do arise."

Marikana murder charge withdrawal: the first glimmer of sanity ...

The NPA seems to have regained a small sprinkling of sanity ? it looks like the charges of murder against 270 protesting Lonmin miners will be withdrawn. Yet a number of so-called experts and scholars are still claiming, although feebly, that the charge could have held water. Let?s not kid ourselves ? the law is perfectly clear.

The decision by the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) preliminary to withdraw charges of murder against 270 Marikana miners for the killing of 34 of their colleagues by the police was the only remotely rational course of action to take. It is probably too late to save the NPA from becoming the laughing stock of most South Africans and people across the rest of the world, but the decision seems like a glimmer of rationality in a sea of madness.

Yet it is more than surprising that the NPA is maintaining its original decision to charge the miners was legally sound. It?s like a child denying that he ate his mother?s chocolate cake when he has chocolate icing smeared all over his face. Even more surprising is that a legal academic from Wits has argued that, theoretically at least, the miners could be convicted of murder under the common purpose doctrine.

According to these defenders of the NPA, the decision was legally sound because the state would only have to prove that the miners were present at the scene of the killing and aware of an attack on the police; that the miners intended to associate with those attacking the police and had manifested their sharing of the common purpose by some act; and lastly that the miners had the intent, in the form of dolus eventualis, by showing the miners foresaw the (reasonable) possibility that someone may be killed by the actions of those in the crowd who provoked the police to shoot and kill some of them.

Could these views have been animated by a blinding animosity towards the miners; or by a fear of the protesting (black) hordes; or by an unexamined belief that the miners deserved to be punished collectively because one or more persons who took part in the strike had allegedly killed two police officers? Or have those who made this decision to prosecute or defended it ? even if only on theoretical grounds ? not studied the relevant legal materials properly?

The leading Criminal Law textbooks (quoted approvingly by the Constitutional Court in its judgment on the common purpose doctrine) illustrate that the doctrine is used to impute the criminal conduct of some members of a group to the whole group who had the common purpose to commit a crime. Burchell and Milton define the doctrine as follows:

Where two or more people agree to commit a crime or actively associate in a joint unlawful enterprise, each will be responsible for specific criminal conduct committed by one of their number which falls within their common design. Liability arises from their ?common purpose? to commit the crime.

Similarly, the other Criminal Law guru, Snyman, points out in his textbook that:

the essence of the doctrine is that if two or more people, having a common purpose to commit a crime, act together in order to achieve that purpose, the conduct of each of them in the execution of that purpose is imputed to the others.

This means that the 270 miners could only be convicted of murder if the conduct of one of its members could be shown to have caused the death of the 34 miners and if all the other requirements for common purpose had been met. Given the fact that the police actually shot the 34 miners, it is unclear how the conduct of any of the miners could have cause the death of their comrades.

For a successful prosecution, the state would have to prove that the miners made common purpose with the police with the intention to have their fellow workers killed. It is only where the miners can be shown to have had a common purpose with the police that the conduct of the police (who actually killed the miners) could be imputed to them. As none of the miners actually killed anyone on the day of the massacre, it would help little to prove they had a common purpose to protest or even to attack the police, because none of them were involved in the killing of the 34 miners.

That is why the Constitutional Court confirmed in the Thebus case that a group of people who are not co-perpetrators could only be found guilty of a crime with assistance of the common purpose doctrine if they were aware the crime was being committed and must have intended to make common cause with those who were actually perpetrating the crime. The crime in this case being the killing of 34 miners by the police, it would be impossible to prove that the miners made common purpose with the police to kill their fellow miners.

In any case, even if this was not so, and even if the state only had to prove that the miners acted with a common purpose with one another by walking in a group towards the police and that this led to the shooting that killed 34 of their comrades, the state would never have been able to prove the involvement of the 270 miners in this common purpose. As the Constitutional Court warned, it is the

duty of every trial court, when applying the doctrine of common purpose, to exercise the utmost circumspection in evaluating the evidence against each accused person. A collective approach to determining the actual conduct or active association of an individual accused has many evidentiary pitfalls. The trial court must seek to determine, in respect of each accused person, the location, timing, sequence, duration, frequency and nature of the conduct alleged to constitute sufficient participation or active association and its relationship, if any, to the criminal result and to all other pre-requisites of guilt. Whether or not active association has been appropriately established will depend upon the factual context of each case.

How would the state ever prove that the 270 actively associated with the one person in the crowd who allegedly shot at the police? Merely being proven to have been in the crowd might have been sufficient to be convicted of murder by one of the members of the crowd during the Apartheid years, but those days are long gone. The Constitutional Court decision makes this abundantly clear. More is required now, and the state would never have been able to meet this more stringent evidentiary burden.

But apart from the evidentiary problems, there is still the problem that none of the miners had actually set out to kill their comrades. Neither had any of the miners killed any of their comrades. The police did that.

To overcome this problem, those who argue that the decision to charge the miners with murder was legally plausible say that all the miners could be guilty of murder if one of them had shot at the police because the person who shot at the police could be found guilty of murder and his guilt could be ascribed to all of them via the common purpose doctrine. But this argument conflates the requirements for common purpose with the requirements for intention.

Those who defend the NPA (as well as the NPA itself) wrongly invoke the 1981 judgment of the Appellate Division in S v Nhlapo and Another, where a guard was shot and killed ? possibly by a fellow guard ? in a gun battle with robbers. The court stated that the robbers ? who were ready to use their guns to overpower the guards ? must have reasonably foreseen that someone could get killed in the robbery and therefore possessed the necessary intention for murder (in the form of dolus eventualis). The court therefore convicted the robbers of the murder of the guard ? even though the state had not proven that any of them shot the guard.

The problem is that this scenario is entirely different from what the police claimed happened at Marikana. The Nhlapo case did not deal with the common purpose doctrine because all the robbers were co-perpetrators: they all had guns, were prepared to use them, and then reasonably foresaw that someone would be killed. The actions of one robber were not imputed to other robbers via the common purpose doctrine: they were all charged because they had taken part in the shootout. Their actions caused the death of the guard and they reasonably foresaw that it could.

But the actions of all 270 miners did not cause the death of the 34 victims. At most, the actions of one miner who shot at the police could arguably be said to have caused the death of others. To hold otherwise would be to criminalise the behaviour of every member of a crowd of protestors, where the behaviour of one of the protestors might have contributed to the death of someone and where that protestor had reasonably foreseen the possibility that his actions would lead to the death. It would, in effect, abolish most of the requirements for criminal liability for anyone taking part in a protest march and would be so invasive not only of the right to protest freely but also of the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty, that it would undermine the very essence of our Bill of Rights.

Unlike those robbers, all of the 270 miners were not armed with guns. They had not all taken part in a shooting match with the police. They were not co-perpetrators going out to overpower the police. Arguably, one of those in their midst had a gun and shot at the police. They could therefore not have been guilty of murder because they had no intention to kill their comrades. To hold otherwise would be to use the common purpose doctrine in a situation for which it has not been designed and for which has not (and never will be) approved by our courts.

In any case, even if this was not so, no court in South Africa is ever going to find that the miners should reasonably have foreseen the possibility that the police would start shooting at them with live ammunition and would kill 34 of their comrades because one among them had a firearm.

We live in a democracy. We have a right to expect the police to obey the law and use minimum force, as they are required to do by the Police Act. We cannot and should not ever accept that it is reasonable to foresee that the police would use maximum force and would shoot and kill 34 protestors because one of them happened to have been armed with a gun. For a court to hold otherwise would be for it to hold that it is reasonable for the police at best to be untrained, bumbling, and bizarrely incompetent or, at worst, to be malicious, vengeful, law-breaking thugs.

It is a pity that some in the NPA seem to have forgotten (or might never have noticed) that we indeed live in a democracy now, and that we can reasonably expect the police to obey the law.

Dip Dip Hooray For Family Game Night #DipDipHooray ? A Mom's ...

Wow! I always forget what its like at the beginning of the school year.? Getting back into a routine is tough this time of year.? Jonah and I have been really busy at our schools getting to know all of our new friends.? I have a new schedule this year and it means that I have to drop Jonah off at preschool earlier than last year and I am also in charge of picking him up.? My husband is in charge of dropping off and picking up Caroline from daycare.? Having two kids at two different places can be a little difficult, but we are managing.? It seems like I have been at school a lot preparing for Back to School Night, or making lesson plans, or just getting stuff done.? I wanted to take some time off of school and focus on my family this weekend.? I decided that a family game night was just what the doctor ordered!

Caroline looking precious as always on our shopping trip.

Jonah, Caroline and? I went to Walmart late Saturday morning to buy some stuff for the big night!? It was raining hard here in Indianapolis, but we made it inside before getting too wet.? Check out our Google+ photo album to see how our shopping experience went (you can see how wet I got)!

We were inspired by the DipToPlay.com sweepstakes where you can win a $1000 Hasbro Game Night Grand Prize along with daily prizes.? To learn more about the sweepstakes visit this page! We purchased Tyson Chicken Nuggets, Heinz Ketchup, and a bag of OreIda Sweet Potato Crinkle Fries for our game night dinner.? I wanted something that we would all eat and enjoy (as we all know, my son is such a picky eater that dinner time is sometimes an unhappy time).? I made some chicken sliders for the adults, and Jonah had a great time eating his nuggets!

A little something for the adults and for the kids!

When you purchase??Tyson Chicken Nuggets, Ore Ida Crinkle Fries and some Heinz Ketchup? you can unlock fun online games from Hasbro. All you have to do is enter the UPC codes from all three products at DiptoPlay.com.

I made some fantastic chicken slider sandwiches for the adults.? Using different sauces, I was able to make something for everyone in the family.? I had buffalo sauce and ketchup on mine!

After dinner, we cleared the table and began playing our game.? This was Jonah?s first time playing Chutes and Ladders so I had to take a video of him playing for the first time:

I won the first game, but don?t feel too sorry for Jonah.? He has since beat both his dad and I.? We love teaching him how to be a good sport and so after any game we always shake hands and say ?That?s a good game? regardless if we win or lose.? He really struggled with this the second time he lost (to his daddy) but now he is learning how to be a good winner.

We had a wonderful time playing games together as a family.? It was a fun and it helped me to remember to keep my priorities straight.? My family is what is most important to me and it is so important to take time to be together during this very busy time!

I hope you and your family have family game nights too!? Be sure to connect with all of the #DipDipHooray companies through their various social media channels:

Weekly Writing Challenge: A Few of My Favorite Things | The Daily ...

For some of us, blogging is personal. Others are trying to educate or entertain; many more are hybrids. Yet we?re all storytellers. We all want to feel confident in what we?re offering when we hit ?publish.?

No matter what your blogular target is, we want you to hit it, which is why we?re serving up Weekly Writing Challenges. Once a week, we?ll post a creative writing challenge to help you to push your writing boundaries and show off your writing chops among the WordPress.com community.

How it works: Every Monday, we lay out a different challenge along with tips on tackling it, useful resources, and example posts. You read, think, ask questions (we?ll be here!), and get to blogging, tagging your posts with ?DPchallenge.? We keep an eye on the tag and highlight the week?s best posts on Freshly Pressed each Friday.

---

Things, stuff, gizmos, whatchamacallits, items, objects; call them what you will. Material items play an important part in our lives. Some people believe that people with lots of ?stuff? are money-hungry, gadget-obsessed, must-keep-up-with-the-Joneses types.?For those who prefer the simpler life, there are still many possessions we have that mean more to us than their perceived purpose. Instead, items and objects can have seriously meaningful memories attached to them.

My great-grandfather?s trusty ol? coffee maker.

My coworkers at WordPress.com love their coffee, and we?ve had many a conversation about the best coffee maker out there. While I?ve bought some of the recommended brewing machines, I have a standard fall back that never goes out of style: my great-grandfather?s drip coffee machine. It has dings and scratches from generations before me who used it as a spontaneous percussion instrument, and it lost its sheen a long time ago, leaving it a dull, Crayola-colored silver at this point. However, each time I participate in the ritual of brewing coffee, this coffee machine reminds me of my great-grandfather and his habits, his loves, and his daily rituals. It?s more than just a coffee pot?it?s a connection to my past.

For this week?s writing challenge, tell us about your most meaningful possession. No, the laptop that you?re blogging on doesn?t count. Instead, let us know about the heirloom ring that is passed on from woman to woman in your family, or the house you live in that has belonged to your family for generations. What?s important are the memories and people that these objects symbolize, not what they?re actually used for.

When writing, transport us into the past by telling us about your favorite ?thing.? What is it? What does it look like? What memories of people or things or events does it conjure??Details are key for giving a clear picture of both why this item is so meaningful for you, and how that meaning has transformed the appearance of the object.

A weekend, an editor, and getting Mozilla's Boot to Gecko running on a Nexus S

With the iPhone and Android, and the entire mobile market as hot as it is right now, it's no surprise that everyone from Amazon to Facebook to -- dunno, McDonald's? -- is rumored to be hard at work on their own smartphone. Even Mozilla, the folks whose Gecko rendering engine power Firefox, have their Boot to Gecko project. And this weekend, Android Central's own Phil Nickinson decided to give himself a project of his own and get B2G compiled and working on the Samsung Nexus S.

Not a bad little project, actually. It took a couple hours, a working Nexus S and some hard drive space, but it wasn't too taxing on the brain. Once you have it flashed onto the phone, you can back it up using custom Android recoveries, then come and go as you please.

I'd give this a 6 out of 10 on the difficulty scale, only because I really don't know what I'm doing when it comes to compiling code. But I follow directions pretty well, and Mozilla made things nice and easy. This is one you can attempt yourself.

You can watch the video above to see how the very-alpha alpha runs on the aging Nexus S hardware, but the most interesting part is the do-it-yourself angle. We're huge DIY fans here at iMore, and huge geeks, and we love seeing alternate takes on smartphone interfaces.

My only complaint? The interface looks a little conventional. I understand that familiarity is a feature, but we have iPhone and we have Android already, and if Mozilla is going to invest in yet-another-platform, it'd be nice to see a novel take. webOS, which tried a similar HTML5-centric approach, mixed the conventional with some forward-thinking ideas like pervasive cards, synergy, just type, and more. BlackBerry10 is going a lot with gestures and maintaining one-handed ease of use on large screen devices. Windows Phone 8 went with tiles and panoramas.

In future alphas and betas, it'd be nice to see Mozilla stretch the same kind of design muscles. Be a little daring. And show us paradigms better than what have come before. And maybe that's already on future roadmaps? We'll see.

In the meantime, if B2G looks like something you'd like to try and you have the time, tenacity, and materials you need, hit the link below and try it out yourself. Then let us know what you think.

A Homeowner's Roofing Problems: Choosing the Most Fitting Material

Your choice of roofing material for your Orlando home is not a choice you must make haphazardly. With Florida's knack for drawing in tornadoes--in addition to some other kinds of storms--you can't afford to set up a lousy roofing material. Aside from unfavorable weather conditions, you must also contemplate on:

Locality

Since Orlando has a primarily tropical climate, it's typically either sunny or rainy in the zone. You'll be in need of a roof material that will not fold under tremendous heat, or get too easily ravaged from too much moisture build up. Also, pick light-colored products, as dark-colored ones absorb more heat--and that's the last thing you would wish to come about throughout Orlando's blistering summers months. You can also take a good glimpse at the most common roofing materials utilized by your neighbors to get a better idea.

Toughness

Roofs aren't really inexpensive, so you'll have to opt for one that'll last as long as possible under most conditions. You 'd also need a roof that's effortless to take care of, fix, and change out if necessary. Some instances of these include roofs made of asphalt composition shingles and metal roofs.

Your Home's Architecture

Your Orlando roofing material should not look out of place with the rest of your residence. Metal and asphalt composition shingles are appropriate for most architectural styles. If you wish to provide your home a more natural appearance, you may use shakes that are fashioned to appear like wood, rather than actual wood shakes. While genuine wood looks lovely, it's impractical during Orlando's rainfalls due to its greater capability to take in wetness that can cause rot and, in turn, damage.

Energy Efficiency

Other than protecting your residence from the elements, you would certainly also need a roof that can cut bucks off your month-to-month electricity bill. If you have cash to spare, you could ask your Orlando roofing contractor to mull over green roofs, cool roofs, or solar panel roofing for your home. Assess whether your energy savings from these roofs far over-shadow the more significant cost of the roofing materials themselves.

Deciding on a roofing material for your house inevitably hinges on the surrounding circumstances, the needs of your household, and your personal inclinations. If you're in doubt about the most efficient roofing material for your house, you may get in touch with Orlando roofing companies to get more information.
