One of the benefits of getting older. I can watch a movie I saw 5 years ago and it’s almost like I never watched it before. Of course it sucks for when you are looking for the car keys.

I was a wee tyke in the mid-70s through the early 80s. Lots and lots of my TV exposure (all 13 channels** of it) consisted of re-runs of shows from the 60s. I remember that pretty much any show that featured a married couple would eventually feature an obnoxious, problem-causing mother in-law.
Like so: [Link: tvtropes.org…]
Then I got married, and before too long I learned that pretty much all of those stereotypical cliches about in-laws were in fact accurate reflections of reality.

East Missouri is Earthquake country to me. I’ve been watching the weather patterns in the state for about 4 years. I found a spot that the storm fronts love to split and go around. It’s really small, very conservative and redneck. The town of Cabool. Just watch a front advance on it and it will split almost all of the time. It’s the strangest weather phenomenon I’ve ever seen. I love the online real estate broker for the area.

It’s getting harder to tell who’s joking.
One of the Internet’s best kept secrets is the satirical website ChristWire.org. Every day, its contributing writers publish articles condemning homosexuality, atheism, Hollywood or some other perceived threat to American culture. The writers pretend to be hard-right Christian conservatives and, occasionally, they succeed in tricking serious news organizations into believing them. Last month, for instance, we caught NBC Los Angeles falling for a ChristWire article about the moral depravity of Bill Murray. The article called Murray a “murderer of lambs” and a “fatal disease” to society. Still, the satire was lost on NBC (they interpreted it as unchecked Christian fundamentalism and later had to issue a correction).[Link: www.theatlanticwire.com…]

Science is sooo kewl!
Could Diamonds Become An Oncologist’s Best Friend?
Well, these aren’t the kind of diamonds you might find adorning Kate Middleton’s engagement ring. They’re nanodiamonds — clusters of a few hundred carbon atoms that Ho tells Shots “kind of look like angular soccer balls.” They’re so small that when stirred into water the mixture looks pale gray.
Ho’s team injected nanodiamonds covered in the drug doxorubicin into mice sick with chemo-resistant breast and liver cancers. The results of their work appear in the latest issue of Science Translational Medicine.
Remarkably, the treatment didn’t reduce white blood cell count, as the drug usually does, and “no toxic effects on tissues and organs were observed.”
When researchers upped the dosage of normal, unbound doxorubicin, the mice all died before they completed the treatment. But when they administered that same dose of doxorubicin in its diamond-bound form, not only did the mice survive, their tumors shrank significantly.
Ho has been searching for a better way to deliver cancer drugs for a while no. He and his collaborators have tried a variety of polymers. They were looking for something off the shelf that could be easily and cheaply mass produced. They also wanted something that could bind tightly to drugs of many different molecular sizes.
“What is promising is that nanodiamonds integrate all of these properties so well into in one drug-delivery platform,” Ho tells Shots.

Nearly 12 Million Americans Are Cancer Survivors
“In fact, 40 percent of cancer survivors have outlived their diagnoses by 10 years or more.
A report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says nearly 12 million Americans are cancer survivors. That’s four percent of the population.
A decade ago, the survivorship score was 9.8 million people and 3.5 percent of the population. Back in 1971, when cancer was considered pretty much a death sentence, there were only one-fourth as many survivors, and they made up less than 2 percent of the population.
A little over half of current cancer survivors suffered breast, prostate or colorectal cancer. More than half are women. About 3 out of 5 are over 65.
There are a bunch of reasons for the welcome trend, the CDC says. More cancers are being diagnosed earlier, and there’s more effective treatment and follow-up care. In addition, more people are living into the most cancer-prone years, so more people are getting the disease — and surviving it.
All these trends point to continued growth in the legions of cancer survivors.”
