Kroger is requesting customers no longer openly carry firearms into its stores, even in states where open carry is legal, the company announced Tuesday evening.The announcement comes just hours after Walmart made a similar announcement. Walmart also said it would end the sales of some firearms and ammunition. Kroger stopped selling guns last year.Kroger, like Walmart, also said it would add its voice to the growing number of corporations calling on elected officials to pass gun reform laws, such as requiring stronger background checks."Kroger has demonstrated with our actions that we recognize the growing chorus of Americans who are no longer comfortable with the status quo and who are advocating for concrete and common sense gun reforms," the company said in a statement.As mass shootings have grown in frequency, death toll and prominence in recent years, many big companies have faced pressure to address their role in the crisis.After a shooter in Parkland, Florida, killed 17 people last year, Dick's Sporting Goods announced it would stop selling assault-style rifles. At the same time, Walmart raised the age for gun purchases from 18 to 21. Kroger followed suit, ending all sales of guns and ammunition in its 45 Fred Meyer stores in the Pacific Northwest last March, citing declining consumer demand for firearms. The grocer had earlier stopped selling guns to people under 21 and pulled sales of magazines featuring "assault rifles."Over the last month, Walmart in particular has faced pressure to stop selling guns after 22 people were shot and killed by a white supremacist inside a Walmart store in El Paso, Texas.In its statement, Kroger said it would be "respectfully asking" that customers no longer openly carry guns in its stores, except for authorized law enforcement officers. It is unclear whether or how the grocer plans to enforce this request.Walmart said it will take a "non confrontational" approach to enforcing the new policy by putting up signs announcing the request outside of stores.Ed Scruggs, president of gun safety advocacy group Texas Gun Sense, said a number of retailers in the state (where open carry is legal) request that customers not openly carry in their stores by posting large signs stating the policy in English and Spanish outside their stores. Store workers can ask customers who do not abide by the signs to return the guns to their cars or leave the store, Scruggs said. 2444

In recent years, healing and meditation has become an important part of Janea Escobedo’s life.“It’s just very relaxing to be under the trees to watch the leaves, and hike around to see the wildlife. It’s, it’s very healing,” she says. Escobedo was diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer.“In February of 2017, I was happy-go-lucky turned into a cancer patient with a very aggressive rare disease that I didn’t know what to do with,” she recalls. Dr. Radhika Acharya, the medical director of the UCHealth Cancer Center in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, has been assisting Escobedo in her cancer journey.“[Inflammatory breast cancer] makes up just about 0.2 to 0.5 percent of all breast cancers, so it’s very rare, and it involves the skin that overlies the breast,” Dr. Acharya says.She says inflammatory breast cancer is so rare, it’s a challenging cancer to diagnose. “I think what’s difficult is sometimes it gets underdiagnosed or not diagnosed correctly because it looks like mastitis, which is swelling of the breast from an infection, or cellulitis, which is swelling of the skin or infection of the skin," she explains. "And a lot of women can experience that after pregnancy or when they’re breastfeeding or just with trauma."As uncommon as it may be, Escobedo knew the symptoms from a news segment she had seen years prior. “Honestly didn’t feel sick, didn’t think anything was going on, but I had that itch,” Escobedo says.She thought that itch was simply dry skin. However, after a couple weeks, it was still itchy so Escobedo decided to visit the doctor. An MRI showed nothing, but a biopsy proved it was inflammatory breast cancer. “With inflammatory breast cancer, 9 times out of 10 there will be no lump,” Escobedo says.The potential for a lump is just one symptom out of many for the disease. Other possible symptoms include itchiness, swelling of the breast, dimpling or thickening of the skin (like the skin of an orange), a discolored or inverted nipple, or the breast can get warm. Considering it’s so difficult to discover, the cancer is often very advanced by the time it’s diagnosed. Escobedo says she had to go through super intense chemo, surgery and radiation. However, genetic testing helped guide doctors and Escobedo to make the right decisions for her body.“Genetic testing more and more is becoming part of the data points in considering a patients’ diagnosis and optimal treatment,” UCHealth Genetic counselor Kristina Markey says.Oncologists say if you think you could be experiencing any of these symptoms, you should see your doctor right away. “Be persistent, and don’t just sort of say ‘it will get better’. If it doesn’t get better, go see your doctor again,” Dr. Acharya says.Escobedo will have to undergo chemo every three weeks for the rest of her life. Some days, she says she can barely drag herself down the stairs, but in the end, she chooses to stay positive and keep going.“When I wake up in the morning and I’m alive, then I just need to live the day," Escobedo says. "And I have a strong faith in God, I have a very strong family bond, and I will be on chemo forever, but the good part is that forever may be much longer.”If you’d like to reach out to the journalist for this story, please email elizabeth.ruiz@scripps.com 3281

JCPenney's holiday stretch wasn't as bad as some feared, an encouraging sign for the troubled retailer.Sales at stores open at least a year fell only 4 percent during the holiday quarter compared with a year earlier. Investors had expected worse.JCPenney said it got a boost from its women's clothing business and toys during the holidays. It posted a million profit for the quarter. JCPenney's stock jumped 27 percent Thursday. Its stock rebounded somewhat this year after falling under for the first time in the company's 90-year history in December, because of uncertainty about its long term future. It's currently trading around .57."This is not business as usual," CEO Jill Soltau told analysts on Thursday. "We are taking deliberate actions to improve."Soltau, who took over last year, previously pledged "quick action" to put JCPenney on the path to profitability. She installed a new management team and on Thursday brought in a new chief merchant from Target.But the picture for JCPenney remains grim: The company said it lost 5 million for the full year.The company plans to close 18 under-performing department stores in 2019, as well as nine home and furniture stores. But it still has more than 800 stores around the country.In a strategy shift, JCPenney recently said it would 1316
