We have every reason to think that the percentage of students who will accept our offer of admission and come here is going to probably be a little lower.INTERNATIONAL AND OUT-OF-STATE STUDENTS PAY ABOUT THREE TIMES AS MUCH TUITION AS CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS, AT ABOUT 58-THOUSAND DOLLARS PER YEAR. TWO BROTHERS HAD A MISSION TO DELIVER RESOURCES TO THEIR NORTH COUNTY COMMUNITIES… FIRST WITH TRUCKS AND TRAILERS.. BUT THEIR GOAL WAS ALWAYS TO ESTABLISH A COMMUNITY CENTER. NORTH COUNTY REPORTER TANIA THORNE SAYS THAT DREAM HAS NOW BECOME A REALITY Lived Experiences is a nonprofit that got its start in a North County church basement… and then went on the road with mobile food distribution and a custom laundry trailer filled with washers and dryers. before it would have to be one day in Carlsbad, one day in Oceanside, we would spread ourselves out thin. people can come by and do some laundry, play some loteria, some Zumba classes. It's great. This is a lot of things that we didn't. We we grew up without, you know, a lot of times we didn't have food. We never had washers and dryers. Mentors. These things mean a lot to us. But funding has been tough. Grants they were expecting to receive were cut from President Trump’s federal budget.They had hoped to add more computers for kids and resources for the community. We call ourselves the brokest richest nonprofit out there, the money that we do get is just going right back into the community, They’ve got a small gym, diapers, and youth groups at their new location on North Redondo Drive in Oceanside REPORTER JACOB AERE SAYS IT WILL IMPERIAL BEACH’S FIRST COMMUNITY-OWNED GROCERY STORE.Kim Rivero Frank is Board President with the market. She says there are limited grocery store options in the city …and she’s one of the many residents who shop for groceries out of town. She says SunCoast Market will help with that problem. It’s owned by the community and decisions are made locally. “People have the opportunity to join the co-op. It's a $200 one-time share purchase. When the store opens, anyone can shop there, but as owners we get special perks so well get things like weekly owner coupons” Rivero Frank says the full-service grocery store will offer locally grown produce as well as natural and organic foods. So far there are over 1,300 community owners for the grocery store. They expect to open this fall. JA KPBS News.RATES OF COLON CANCER ARE INCREASING DRAMATICALLY, ESPECIALLY AMONG PEOPLE UNDER 50. SAN DIEGO’S SCRIPPS’ RESEARCH AND A SEATTLE COMPANY ARE LOOKING FOR A BETTER WAY TO SPOT IT BEFORE IT SPREADS.If you’re over 50 there’s a good chance you’ve had a colonoscopy. But you’re just as likely not to have had one. It’s understandable because the procedure to check inside your colon for cancer is a hassle, it’s expensive and invasive. “And so what we really need is a super simple, at home sample collection test to tell somebody, you’re very likely to have colon polyps and you really do need to do a colonoscopy.” That’s Momo Vuyesich with Viome Life Sciences. They have created a tool that uses RNA sequencing and an AI program to see if your biomarkers indicate you have polyps. If the test is positive you would get a colonoscopy and have them removed. Scripps Research professor Amy Lightner says the goal is to screen more people to prevent colon cancer. “Because we know the more we screen, in terms of large population levels, the more we reduce the mortality from colo-rectal cancer.” Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S. among both men and women.
