Cheesed Off Over Iraq And "Three Blind Mice"
2008-11-25 23:46:00 (And the person agitated would be yours truly, of course; by the way, posting will be sporadic for the rest of the week, with nothing on Thursday.)I didn?t want to let too much more time pass without noting that the venerable ?old gray lady? really committed another affront to sane discourse last Sunday when it published a bunch of editorials under the theme of ?so, what the hell do we do now in Iraq?? The problem, I should add, isn?t the topic, which is a good one; the problem is the people chosen to inflict their opinions on us (and, as is usually the case when talking about the mess in Mesopotamia, nary a dissenting voice was heard).I chose three from the list of individuals who offered their commentary, the most notorious of the lot IMHO. So let?s begin with Fred Kagan, who tells us here?Leaving aside the debate in America about what ties global Al Qaeda has to Al Qaeda in Iraq, Iraqis overwhelmingly think that they have indeed been fighting an arm of Osama bin Laden?s organizat...

Vitamin C Injections Shown to Inhibit Cancer in Mice
2008-08-05 17:24:00 Thirty years ago, a novel idea for cancer treatment was presented: vitamin C. But, it turned out, it was impossible to consume enough vitamin C to raise ascorbate concentrations to pharmacologically-active levels. Now a new study funded by the U.S. Government shows that injecting high concentrations of vitamin C stops the spread of cancer and slows growth of tumors by 50 percent—in mice, at least. The results were positive over a wide variety of cancers, but more research will be needed before human trials can begin.

Of Mice and Straw Men
2008-05-28 20:53:00 by Jayne Lyn Stahl Now that we've figured out, six years into it, that the war in Iraq wasn't about fighting Al Qaeda, but straw men, it's time to turn our attention to the Senate who singlehandedly showed that the times they are indeed a changing this week by adding protections for veterans, and the jobless, onto the the Iraq war funding bill. Notably, the bill passed the Senate by a wide, and bipartisan, margin. And, despite the stalwart efforts of the mainstream media to ignore it, there is a strong likelihood that the next President may be facing a majority of Democrats in both the House and the Senate which could make it immensely difficult to slip an activist conservative Supreme Court justice through the cracks, should the White House next be occupied by McCain. This could get interesting, especially in light of Mr. Bush's new role as fundraiser-in-chief, and lobbyist, for McCain. Reportedly, the president will be working to raise cash for the Arizona senator next w...

Clark Kent is a disguise Superman wears that reflects his take on the foreign society in which he must hide. That's the way it became for Gin, except kinda the other way around. Ginny became "Jersey Gin" all the time and only assumed the disguise of "Uptown Gin" when she had to hide. One might think it sorta confusing and even a little metaphysical, but believe me that's the way it was, so there you go. Anywho, the point is Ginny's reborn spirit continued to flourish in New Jersey's rich soil, even with all the heavy metals.As is common in life, it was ofte...

Green tea inhibits breast cancer in mice
2008-04-09 09:25:00 SAN DIEGO, April 8 (UPI) -- A green tea anti-oxidant that helps stop cell damage and aging may inhibit breast cancer, U.S. researchers suggest. University of Mississippi Medical Center researchers find the green tea anti-oxidant epigallocatechin-3- gallate, known as EGCG, significantly inhibits breast tumor growth in female mice. Senior researcher, Dr. Jian-Wei Gu suggests EGCG reduces breast cancer by targeting both tumor blood vessel formation through the lowering of vascular endothelial growth factor and tumor cell nutrients that promote growth and proliferation, or angiogenesis. "In this study we have demonstrated that the frequent ingestion of EGCG significantly inhibits breast tumor growth, vascular endothelial growth factor expression and tumor angiogenesis in mice," Gu says in a statement. Seven-week old female mice injected with breast cancer cells and given EGCG in their drinking water showed significant decreases in tumor cross section area, tumor weight and va...

"Rotten Egg" gas puts mice in suspended animation
2008-03-24 08:00:00 Hydrogen sulphide gas can induce “suspended animation” in mice and may one day help preserve organ function during intensive surgery, say researchers.The sewer gas, with its distinctive rotten-egg smell, put the mice into a hibernation-like state – reducing their heart rate, breathing and body temperature – while keeping their blood pressure normal, the researchers found.In extreme circumstances, such as during complex cardiac surgery on humans, putting the body “on-hold” may reduce organ damage to patients (see Suspended animation: putting life on hold). Currently doctors use sedatives or extreme cold to induce hypothermia in patients, which slows-down breathing and heart-rate, but these also lower blood pressure – an occasionally catastrophic side effect.In a study, published in 2005, researchers discovered that a cocktail of gases including hydrogen sulphide halved the oxygen demands of mice and slowed their metabolic rate (see Can human life be put on hold?)....read the whole th...

Microsoft Announces Laser Desktop 7000 & Digital Media Keyboard 3000

Microsoft?s newly announced Laser Desktop 7000 and Digital Media Keyboard 3000 could undoubtedly serve to underpin quite why but, irrespective of this, these new devices are hardly unattractive ? perhaps if only to the same degree that they?re not especially mind blowing.

When the bar comes down, I catch it in my teeth, then press it twenty times to work up an appetite, and then make off with the cheese."The second mouse orders up two shots of sour mash, pounds them both, slams each glass onto the bar, turns to the first mouse and replies, "Yeah, well when I see rat poison, I collect as much as I can, take it home, grind it up into a powder, and add it to my coffee each morning so I can get a good buzz going for the rest of the day."The first mouse and the second mouse then turn to the third mouse. The third mouse lets out a long sigh and says to the first two, "I don't have time for this bullshit. I gotta go home and fcuk the cat." |
