A sort of Hjemkomst


One of my personal philosophies about travel is that you should do your best to seek out the historical and cultural flavor of where ever it is you find you've traveled to.I think every place has something to discover. Sure, it might be an easier search in, say, Florence, Italy, than in Liberal, Kansas. But the there is there for the curious and persistent to discover.It was this kind of thinking that had us spend a little extra time in Fargo during our Grizwaldesque Thanksgiving road trip to No

Cancer stem cell stories


Given today's publicity, here's a list of cancer stem cell articles published by Nature Reports Stem Cells. Cancer stem cells, becoming common Tumour cells that can initiate a new tumour are not so rare as previously thought, putting the concept of the 'cancer stem cell' under the spotlight again. Published online: 03 December 2008; doi:10.1038/stemcells.2008.153 Full Text Two of a kind Cancer stem cells use an embryonic stem cell-like transcriptional program to induce and maintain tumou

Cancer Stem Cells May Not Be the Supervillains We Thought


The controversial idea that all tumors are created by cancer stem cells received a setback Wednesday. The theory holds that a tiny percentage of cancer cells — perhaps one in a million or one in 10,000 — are responsible for creating tumors. Like evil relatives of standard organ-forming stem cells, cancer stem cells build tumors. It's an appealing idea because it provides a new, well defined target for treatment. But a new study casts doubt on the idea that only a few cancer cells are ab

You may not be enjoying a good time now, but organisms in your nose could be having sex at this very moment. (Credit: Library of Congress) University of Nottingham and University College Dublin scientists have just discovered that a microscopic fungus called Aspergillus fumigatus has honest to goodness sex, as opposed to reproduction by creation of asexual spores. The fungus does produce spores, however, which feed off of dead and decaying matter. Each of us inhales the spores at an estima

Arbor Heights strategizes for tonight’s board meeting, and beyond


They’re not showing all their cards yet, but Arbor Heights Elementary families and other supporters are certainly assembling their hands. That much was clear at last night’s meeting in the school cafeteria, called primarily to discuss the school community’s coalesced campaign to fight Seattle Public Schools‘ proposal to close the program and turn the building into the long-overdue new home of Genesee Hill’s Pathfinder K-8. Above, PTSA secretary Dana Varon exhorts the crowd to make a strong sh

Life Changes


It’s interesting - and common - how life can change so quickly. One moment you’re worrying about all the little inconsequential things in life. The next, life itself hangs in the balance. My precious Lily has leukemia. It seems absurd to even type those words. Not that sweet, smiling wonderful little girl! Lily is my 7-year old granddaughter - our “Sweet Stuff.” Tonight she is in the hospital - anticipating having a port inserted tomorrow under her skin with a tube running to her heart so that

Believers are called to suffering, not comfort


From Judy: From the Preface of Conceived Without Sin by Bud MacFarlane Jr. There is a poet and singer named Jim Carroll. I saw him on the old Tom Snyder show. Snyder asked Carroll why he named his first album "Catholic Boy." Carroll replied that he was a Catholic. "A Catholic?" Snyder was shocked, as if being a Catholic was like being a leper or something. You could practically see him making a mental note to fire the guy who asked Carroll to be on his show. Carroll went on to explain

Tourists to Disney World Hotels - Kissimmee Ass


The economists just found out that we’ve been in a recession since December last year. Now pesky little things like recessions usually don’t bother the Mighty Mouse. The pixie dust is usually quite adequate to keep the ticket counters and hotel check-ins busy. But this time, things seem to be a bit more serious. The Orlando Sentinel reports that Kissimmee hotels and motels on Walt Disney World’s doorstep are worse off now than during the 2001 recession and the travel slump that followed the Se

From time to time, we at YesButNoButYes forgo the pictures of boobies, and fart jokes, and tales of monkeys, to get a bit serious and bring your attention to an important issue. (No, not that my 30th birthday is a few short months away and you only have about four months to shop for me, though you were right in assuming that's an important issue.) A few weeks ago, I found out a good friend of mine was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. The disease is pretty nasty, and unfortunately my fri

U.N. Investigates Electromagnetic Terrorism


By David Hambling December 02, 2008 | 8:00:00 AMCategories: Bizarro, Lasers and Ray Guns, Less-lethal The health effects of electromagnetic fields are hugely controversial, whether it’s power lines being linked to leukemia or the impact of mobile phone radiation on your brain. Which makes it particularly surprising that electromagnetic (EM) radiation is being considered as a possible terrorist weapon. A UNESCO Seminar last month considered the “Potential Threat as a Terrorism Agent” of EM

From the News-Sentinel (Dec. 1. 2008): Fast track for disability benefits SSA initiative sidesteps backlog - for some cases. By Jennifer L. Boen ...Social Security Commissioner Michael Astruesaid at a December 2007 hearing, “People have died waiting for a hearing.
