No Shave November is an annual event that asks men to grow facial hair during the month of November to help raise awareness about health issues, especially prostate cancer. Employees from various departments at Teche Regional Medical Center participated in the annual event. We challenge all the men at Teche Regional Medical Center to show their support and raise cancer awareness for men. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in American men.

One out of every seven men will be diagnosed with the disease. In fact, a man is 35 percent more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer than a woman will be diagnosed with breast cancer! Fortunately, prostate cancer is one of the most easily de- tected and easily cured forms of cancer. Most men should talk to their doctor about testing for prostate cancer starting at age 50. So if you see some new facial hair on a man at Teche Regional Medical Center this November, let it be a reminder to you about the importance of health. Who knows? A moustache could save your life.

(AP) The state should consider trimming the requirement that links 50 percent of annual teacher evaluations to student test scores, according to a panel studying the issue.

Under a 2012 state law pushed by Gov. Bobby Jindal, half of the job review for some teachers is based on the growth of student achievement through exam results and half on traditional classroom observations by principals. The Advocate reports critics contend that relying on test score results for half of a job review is too high and out of step with most other states. State Rep. Frank Hoffmann, R-West Monroe and sponsor of another law that revamped teacher reviews, said the weight given to test scores is one of several areas that need scrutiny before the commission makes its recommendations to the Legislature in February.

"We need to take a look at how it's working and if we need to make changes," Hoffmann said of Louisiana's teacher job review system, which is called Compass. He said another topic that needs attention is whether the state should stick with the current rule that forces teachers rated as ineffective to lose tenure, which is a form of job protection. The revamped reviews stem from arguments that, under the state's old system, 98 percent or more of teachers statewide routine- Critics: La. teacher evaluations need changes ly got satisfactory ratings. Those evaluations were based only on principal observations.

Backers said connecting part of the reviews to how students fared on standardized tests, and whether they showed gains from previous years, would improve teacher quality and improve student achievement. The 2012 state law won approval despite heated protests from teachers unions and other public school groups, including some that are represented on the commission. Steve Monaghan, president of the Louisiana Federation of Teachers, said job evaluations should vary rather than relying on a ts-all state system.
