OT:
NJ Senator Frank Lautenberg has been diagnosed with stomach cancer. He had fallen a few days ago at his home and taken to a hospital where he was treated, and apparently found that he had some kind of ulcer - the blood loss caused him to fall:

Lautenberg took ill Monday while at home in Cliffside Park. He fell down and phoned his doctor and an ambulance. The senator directed the ambulance to transport him to Manhattan for treatment at Mount Sinai Medical Center, where he has been hospitalized ever since. Lautenberg never lost consciousness, his aides said.

Doctors quickly determined that Lautenberg had fallen due to blood loss from a bleeding ulcer. The bleeding was stopped during an endoscopy. Additional pathology tests revealed the ulcer was caused by a b-cell lymphoma of the stomach.

I wish him and his family well. It doesn’t sound like he’s going to miss much time in Congress, or that this will somehow prevent him from completing his term in office.
