http://casemed.case.edu/alumni/publications/mailers/mailer2-9-2012b.htm Summary: Alzheimer's is caused, in part, by buildup of some protein in the brain. Another substance in the brain clears out that protein, but not in Alzheimer's patients. Administering a cancer drug blocks some receptor or other to increase production of the protein-clearing dingus, with dramatic results within three days...in mice. Human testing hopefully to follow. Yay! Maybe! ...yaybe?

Double Fine Studios, headed by the gents who masterminded Day Of The Tentacle and Grim Fandango, amongst others, was trying to raise $400k to create a new point-and-click adventure since no big studio would fund one. They hit their goal within eight hours. It now stands at $1.5 million, with a month still to go. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/115746-Tim-Schafer-Raises-1-3-Million-Update-Again

Watch this video, it's of one of the Republican front runners to become President of the USA and he's claiming that 10% of elderly people in the Netherlands are "involuntarily euthanized" (killed by doctors without their permission) and so, he claims, older people in the Netherlands avoid going to the doctor because they supposedly fear for their lives. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/yn-eejMcmuA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> This claim,...

The competition is fierce. I can only do 21 pullups currently and can't bench 2x bodyweight :(

GLAAD demanded Roland Martin's firing and CNN complied with his suspension. I'm still trying to figure out what was homophobic.

I may be late to the party, but I had never heard of this illness until today.

Two thoughts, first we can't trust them to dispose of waste properly they are just like ever other cut corners energy company. Secondly, if you want real power invest in solar technology for tomorrow. We utilize on current solar panels about 3% of the suns energy we could; course those in the other energy industries will do EVERYTHING in their power to make sure this clean free energy never hits the light of day. ;)

I bathe regularly, don't smoke, hate mimes and Jerry Lewis and Gerard Depardieu, and am quite nice and charming to people.

...when they could be reading the New York Post? I saw this headline on a copy in the grocery store and decided I had to purchase it: This is legitimately the finest newspaper I have ever had the immense pleasure of reading. Inside the cover it has wonderful headlines like "Moammar gets Yankee-Capped" and "Tyrant pulled from sewer and beaten". This is incredible. This is A+ journalism. I love it.

Poll Inspired by the good people at WePlayCiv. I've gotten the impression that they are idiots.

An interesting yet not surprising article in the WaPo regarding NRC. WaPo headline attempts to indicate the NRC was in turmoil on or around that period. The examples really aren't that stunning considereing the 'fog of information' and lack of clear detail coming out over the course of the first few days. And realisitically it is not that damning on NRC performance all things considered. (If memory serves much of the lengthy threads we had were all about what was actually going on and the...

A La Jolla woman gave away her $6 billion fortune to charity in her will. Damn, that's a lot of zeros. http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2012/feb/06/late-sd-heiress-gave-away-6-billion/

Proposition 8 was an attempt to make gay marriage illegal again in California and it was written, promoted, and in large part funded by the Mormon Church & it's members. Today a Federal Court struck down Prop 8 agreeing with the plantifs that it violates the equal protection clause of the US Constitution.
