Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in American men after skin cancer, with roughly 221,000 new cases each year. But while this number is high, the prognosis is pretty good: Virtually all men diagnosed with prostate cancer will survive five years…

I was hugely dismayed to walk into a local doctor’s office recently and see the following sign: Please be advised that your waiting time could be extensive. If you are unable to continue your wait, please let the receptionist know and she will reschedule your appointment. Thank you for your understanding and patience as the doctor takes the time to provide excellent medical care to all.

Following a national search, performing arts consultant Kristin Lancino of New York City has been selected by the La Jolla Music Society (LJMS) board of directors to be the Society’s new president and artistic director, effective Oct. 15, 2015.

A seemingly playful (yet deliciously subversive) work by painter and conceptual artist Terry Allen, “Playing La Jolla (for all it’s worth),” is the latest attraction in the Murals of La Jolla rotating, public art series.
Allen’s piece, which replaces Robert Irwin and Philipp Scholz Rittermann’s “The Real Deal,” was shunned by a property owner near its originally intended location off Torrey Pines Road. The move proved serendipitous, however, as the mural was installed Sept. 17 where all eyes will surely be upon it — adjacent the much anticipated luxury cinema complex, The Lot, at 7611 Fay Ave.
Born in Wichita, Kansas in 1943 and raised in Lubbock, Texas, Allen received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles. He has been the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, as well as three National Endowment for the Arts grants.
In 1986, Allen created “Trees,” one of the outdoor installations in the Stuart Collection at UC San Diego. For the piece, he salvaged three eucalyptus trees from a grove that was razed to make way for new buildings. He preserved two, encasing them in lead skins and placing them within a eucalyptus grove between the Geisel Library and the Faculty Club. One emits a series of recorded songs and the other poems and stories created and arranged specifically for this project.
