an inconceivable diagnosis: Their roughly

6-pound baby was born with a particularly
aggressive form of brain tumor, called a
high-grade glioma, which is extremely rare
in kids.
The roughly golf ball-sized tumor grew
in the womb, engulfing much of the right
hemisphere of his brain. Medical experts
say only about five children are born with
such an uncommon and often lethal condi-
tion nationally each year.
His father, Ben Erickson, recalled asking
if his son was dying — if Matthew was born
dying.
His mother, Sue, had wondered, “Why
him?”
They had the choice of taking their baby
home with hospice care, keeping him
comfortable until the eventual end.
Instead, they decided to fight the cancer.
Matthew survived his first brain surgery
at just a few days old, two more in his first
months of life, and multiple rounds of
chemotherapy before he turned 9 months
old.
The 10-year-old boy has had 16 brain
surgeries — 18 surgeries total — in the course
of his life.
Today, there is no evidence of cancer in his
91-pound body.
There are still many medical concerns and
developmental challenges for Matthew, who
is part of a survivors’ program for children

Doctors Warn
Cannabis Can Cause
Serious Health Hazards
IASIC, the International Academy on the Science and Impact of Cannabis, is a medical organization of doctors
who educate on the impacts of cannabis, based on the scientific and medical literature. IASIC is a non-partisan
and non-political group created to facilitate informed decisions when considering health and cannabis policy.
Thousands of peer-reviewed medical articles have been published on the harms of cannabis
and marijuana: Emergency Department (ED) Visits, Psychosis, Suicide, Brain
Development, Neonatal Exposure, Opioid Use, Traffic Fatalities, High
Potency Use, Problematic Use and Cannabis Hyperemesis
Syndrome.
While we support FDA-approved cannabis-
based products that have met the rigor
of scientific study, it is our conclusion,
based on review of the scientific evidence,
that the negative impacts of cannabis
strain our health care and addiction
treatment resources to an extent that
far surpasses the perceived benefits.
Calling attention to the growing science
on the risks of cannabis, we see an
urgent need for smart public health
policies that follow the science,
prevent addiction, and decrease mental
illness, including psychosis, depression,
and suicide.

Electric vehicle race

It seems the government is betting on
electric vehicles to be the future of trans-
portation.
If electric vehicles are the wave of the
future, then why don’t the auto companies
sponsor a transcontinental electric vehicle
race? One of the first transcontinental auto-
mobile races, which ran from New York to
Seattle, was completed on June 23, 1909. It
took 23 days, and it proved the worth of the
auto as a replacement for the horse and the
durability of a car under adverse terrain and
weather conditions. Also, it brought much
needed publicity to the need for a viable
road program beyond state borders.
A cross-country electric vehicle race
would answer whether the electric vehi-
cle is the worthy successor to the internal
combustion engine or merely a glorified
golf cart.
Finally, I can’t wait for the first autono-
mous vehicle race. That should be a hoot.

Ideology crisis looms in Syria camps

IS detainees target

ROJ CAMP, Syria — It was

night when Zakia Kachar
heard the sounds of foot-

detention camp for foreign-

With rocks in their hands,
the wives of IS fighters had
come for her.
She fled with her chil-

Roj Camp in northeast Syria.
“They wanted to kill me,”
she said.
Earlier that day, the dual

off some of the inflation-fighting strategies
that consumers used four decades ago.

Delay spending: Whether it’s a new device,

private labels account for 19.5% of all units sold
in 2020, according to the Private Label Manu-
facturers Association. If your favorite brand

Tweet victory:
How to promote your skills and
accomplishments on Twitter
We’ve learned a lot about the power of Twitter these
past few years, from its strength as a political force to its
power as a conveyer of important — and not so always true
— information. Those who tweet can correspond directly
with others, bypassing some of the traditional forms of
communication. While that power may seem useful when
trying to reach millions of people, it can also be effective
when trying to reach far fewer individuals, especially if
those individuals can help you find a job.
If you want to use Twitter as a tool in your job search,
be sure you’re using it wisely. No potential employer
will be impressed by a steady stream of incoherent rants,
absurd statements and misguided attempts at humor. But if
you want to include your Twitter name on your resume or
profile, there are ways that it can enhance your image.
To help, we’ve listed several do’s and don’ts to follow
when creating effective career-minded tweets:

results, but still the same DeMar.
Few players in the league have
a comfort zone as clearly carved
out as DeRozan in the midrange.
Over the years, DeRozan expanded
his identity by honing his ballhan-
dling and distribution, becoming
the type of playmaker who can
turn games on a dime by scoring
himself or feeding teammates.
But the core of DeRozan’s game
remained steadfast even as the
league moved further away from
taking long two-pointers.
It took trust in himself for
DeRozan to stick to his style.
Other players moved out,
stretching the game far beyond the
3-point line. DeRozan stayed put.
And over the course of a decade,
he has become a nightmare to
analytics sycophants throughout
the league.
It’s simple logic to stick to the
midrange for a player who can
score 40 points without taking
a single 3-pointer. DeRozan is
shooting 46.4% from the field for
his career — and 51.7% this season,
including 60.7% over his last seven
games.
“His shooting percentages are
mind-boggling to me,” Bulls coach
Billy Donovan said.
DeRozan went 11 games
in January without making a
3-pointer, taking only eight

OLYMPICS WOMEN’S BOBSLED

A ride for the books

Associated Press

BEIJING — Laura Nolte and Mariama Jamanka added

Elana Meyers Taylor extended her medal record, too.
The German sliding domination of the Beijing Games
continued Saturday, with Nolte driving to gold and

Nolte and Deborah Levi won with ease, finishing four
runs in 4 minutes, 3.96 seconds. Jamanka, the 2018 Olym-
pic champion, and Alexandra Burghardt were second in
4:04.73. Meyers Taylor and Olympic rookie Sylvia Hoff-
man were third in 4:05.48.
“I can’t believe it,” Nolte said. “It’s what we’ve wanted
all along. This was our dream. Winning Olympic gold was
our dream.”
Gold was Meyers Taylor’s dream, too.
But a fifth medal — clearly, she wasn’t disappointed

Meyers Taylor smacked the top of her sled in celebra-

SOFTWARE BUGS GETTING
UNDER CAR OWNERS’ SKIN
Automakers have made a rocky transition into the digital age
By Jack Ewing
The New York Times

A
bout six months after
Gary Gilpin leased a
Subaru Outback from
a California dealer, the
screen went blank and wouldn’t
come back on. Gilpin took the car
to the dealer for what he figured
would be a quick reset.
“It was a whole month before I
got my car back,” said Gilpin, who
runs a sailboat chartering and
brokerage business.
Some people would have just
fumed. Gilpin sued.
He is among thousands of car
owners, encouraged by plain-
tiffs’ lawyers, who have joined
class-​action lawsuits that accuse
carmakers of selling vehicles with
faulty entertainment and related
systems. Their complaints are
as numerous as they are varied:
screens that freeze, flicker or go
dark; sound that cuts out or unex-
pectedly blasts at high volume;
backup cameras that fail. Often
the problems involve the way in
which the hardware interacts
with Apple’s CarPlay or Google’s
Android Auto software, which
allow drivers to use their phones
to navigate, communicate or
listen to music and podcasts.
Buggy car software may seem
like a mere inconvenience. But
plaintiffs have successfully
argued that a malfunctioning
dashboard display is a serious
distraction and potential safety
hazard.
The suits are a symptom of the
automakers’ rocky transition to
the digital age and their struggle
to integrate the latest technology
into vehicles, which must meet
safety requirements that smart-
phones and other electronics
do not. Old-line automakers are
losing ground to Tesla and other
young electric carmakers that
have placed much greater empha-
sis on software. And in their

More than a record store

Petition seeks to
make former Wax
Trax! Records shop
a city landmark
By Bob Gendron
Chicago Tribune

For nearly 15 years, the

two-story building at 2449
N. Lincoln Ave. served as
the epicenter of an under-
ground musical, social and
cultural movement that
spread across the globe.
Now, nearly three decades
after Wax Trax! Records
moved out, the daughter of
one of the shop’s co-found-
ers is leading a charge to
designate the storefront
an official historic Chicago
landmark.
The designation will
ensure that the building
will not be demolished or
the exterior altered.
“Wax Trax! was instru-
mental in putting Chicago
on the map for a certain
type of music,” says Julia
Nash, who was 9 years old
when her late father, Jim
Nash, opened the busi-
ness with his partner,
Dannie Flesher. “The store

Can’t-miss Black History Month sites in Miss.

Want to pay homage
to civil justice? Here
are places to know
By Laurie Baratti
TravelPulse

There’s no shortage
of sites in the U.S. where
visitors can relive pivotal
moments in civil rights
history. With the arrival
of Black History Month,
Americans are reflecting on
the people and places that
have played such important
roles in the nation’s journey
toward civil justice.
From the time of the
Civil War, where decisive
battles were fought in cities
such as Vicksburg and
Corinth, the state of Missis-
sippi has held a prominent
place in the unfolding of
Black history in America.
Moving through the 20th
century, the Magnolia State

African Americans out of
the South and into other
areas of the country; partic-

it gave birth; and provided

Best AV receivers for music and more

CNET.com

Are you looking for the best AV receiver

for the money? You probably aren’t alone.
We’ve tested most of the popular options
from the major brands in the $500 to $800
range, and the connectivity, performance
levels and feature sets are impressively
high. From 8K video to Dolby Atmos to
Wi-Fi music streaming — and high-quality
audio — modern home cinema receivers
offer everything a home theater enthusiast
could need.
The latest such feature is 8K compatibil-

models we’ve reviewed. Actual 8K video
— and 8K TVs — are relatively scarce today,
but 8K compatibility could still be import-

you get an 8K TV in the future — and for
gamers with an Xbox Series X or PlaySta-

Such gamers should be aware, however,
that until fairly recently, 8K-compatible
receivers had issues displaying video from
certain types of gaming consoles and PCs.

REAL ESTATE MATTERS

Widow seeks deed after paying off mortgage

By Ilyce Glink and
Samuel J. Tamkin
Tribune Content Agency

Q: My husband died
a few years ago and had
a life insurance policy.
When I got the proceeds
from the policy, I was
able to pay off our home
mortgage.
I never received the
original deed from the
mortgage holder, and
querying the lender is
getting me nowhere. I’m
not sure what to do to
protect myself against
scammers.
Why can’t I get the
deed to my house?
When I search online,
I keep getting websites
that want me to pay
for protection. And the
lawyer that drew up the
refinance passed away
before my late husband
died.
Is there somewhere
I can get a copy of my
deed?
A: First, please accept

loss. One of the reasons
