Canadian researchers find a simple cure for cancer, but major pharmaceutical companies are not interested. Researchers at the University of Alberta, in Edmonton, Canada have cured cancer last week, yet there is a little ripple in the news or in TV. It is a simple technique using very basic drug. The method employs dichloroacetate, which is currently used to treat metabolic disorders. So, there is no concern of side effects or about their long term effects.

(04-19) 16:06 PDT LONDON, United Kingdom (AP) -- Elisabeth Sladen, a star sidekick of the "Doctor Who" series and a popular children's show actress, has died of cancer Tuesday, the BBC said. She was 63. Sladen joined the broadcaster in 1973 as Doctor Who's assistant Sarah Jane Smith, an investigative journalist-turned-intrepid time traveler whose on-screen energy and tongue-in-cheek delivery eventually gave her career an unlikely second act in her own spin-off series, "The Sarah Jane Adventures." "Sarah Jane Smith was everybody's hero when I was younger, and as brave and funny and brilliant as people only ever are in stories,"...

I feel censor who was BeJestsEnOn I have no clue when this person sign up or any thing it has all vanished... maybe to the Siberia or the Manchurina Mt. I always like to do my onw investigation!

MISTERS CHAMBLIS, ISAACSON, WOODALL, AND MR.SPEAKER: I am having trouble understanding so many things that are being attributed to Congress and the Senate. I understand Mr. Obama, Reid and Ms. Pelosi; they are socialists similar to about a third of both of the Houses of Congress. What I am finding puzzling is the way they are treating their employer; US! Some things including the treatment of G. E., Google and other high dollar businesses with the amounts of income versus taxes withheld do not compute and need communications to the public; namely WE-THE-PEOPLE! Let’s hear how you are going to...

Adam Carolla is definitely not a fan of the government. Whether he’s sitting down with Reason Magazine to rant, or going off on Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), he’s made it clear that he wants to be left alone. Carolla, the host of the Adam Carolla Show (which is a podcast available on iTunes), and former host of “The Man Show,” “Crankyankers” and “Loveline,” showed his detest for unions with a profanity laced tirade, NSFW language after the jump.

CHICAGO - Mayoral hopeful Rahm Emanuel, President Obama's former chief of staff, on Saturday blasted Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's move against state unions, which have triggered mass protests in Madison. Emanuel was asked about the Wisconsin situation by reporters at his Hyde Park campaign office--down the street from the Museum of Science and Industry and near the Lake Michigan shore. Emanuel stopped at the office as he sought to get out the vote on the South Side in advance of Tuesday's election to replace Mayor Daley, who is retiring. "I think what the governor there is doing is not just...

PARIS (AFP) – A "tsunami of obesity" is unfurling across the world, resulting in a near-doubling of the numbers of dangerously overweight adults since 1980, doctors warned on Friday. More than half a billion men and women -- nearly one in nine of all adults -- are clinically obese, according to research by a team from Imperial College London, Harvard and the World Health Organisation (WHO). In 2008, the latest year for which statistics were available, nearly one woman in seven and one man in 10 were obese, it found. Being too fat causes three million premature deaths each year...

Former President George H.W. Bush will endorse Republican Roger Williams this afternoon for the U.S. Senate seat that Kay Bailey Hutchison now holds. The race to succeed Hutchison, who is not seeking re-election, has drawn interest from a number of Republicans, including railroad commissioners Elizabeth Ames Jones and Michael Williams. Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst is also considering a run. Roger Williams is a Weatherford car dealer and former Texas secretary of state who was a major Republican donor before he was a candidate. The Bush endorsement could give his campaign a nice boost, particularly since the field is crowded and...

NEW YORK – Obama’s first opponent may be Herman Cain, an ex-pizza magnate whom Jack Kemp called “the Colin Powell of the restaurant industry.” Bryan Curtis talks politics with Citizen Cain. Finally, the 2012 presidential race can begin. Herman Cain has gone to Iowa. On Saturday, Cain was at Tish’s restaurant in Council Bluffs, a city in southwestern Iowa across the river from Omaha. Fifty or so GOP activists, Tea Party regulars, and locals had gathered. Most of them had apparently heard of Herman Cain. When he entered, they gave him a standing ovation. Cain, who is 65, is balding...

Interview: Herman Cain seeks to be a people’s president January 14th, 2011 Dan Calabrese There’s no way I can publish an interview with Herman Cain without putting this on the record: I absolutely love the guy. I have known Herman personally for five years, ever since he first signed on to write a column for this syndicate. We’ve only met in person once – in Atlanta in 2007 – but we know each other well through five years of telephone and e-mail dialogue. Meet the new boss? He has been helpful both with advice and encouragement as I’ve worked to...

It’s time for all of us to take responsibility for helping create a climate of violence and hate I am guilty — guilty of seeing a connection between the rabble-rousing rhetoric of Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck and others as a catalyst for the actions of a twisted Arizona man. Guilty of sensing the tragic and outrageous events in Tucson as some kind of clarion call. Guilty of hoping the tone of political discussion in this country might in some way be softened by the senseless murders and injuries caused by a man with a gun. Guilty of thinking to myself...

Herman Cain, a successful businessman and radio talk-show host from Atlanta, became the first official Republican presidential contender this week, by forming an exploratory committee. He once left a cushy job with Burger King to rescue Godfather’s Pizza from bankruptcy, so he’s a guy who loves playing for high stakes against long odds. Cain is a professional mathematician, and he knows the numbers in Washington don’t add up. He’s good at geometry, too, having been unimpressed by Bill Clinton’s attempts at triangulation. He was a major player in the defeat of HillaryCare back in 1994, after a legendary town-hall showdown...

William Scott Ritter Jr., a former United Nations weapons inspector who gained renown for his criticism of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East, contends his online sexual encounters with teenage girls were only fantasy. Nearly two years ago, Ritter, of Delmar, watched his computer screen reveal that an anonymous person who had been exchanging sexually charged messages with him for 80 minutes was not a 15-year-old girl. It was a cop from a small town in northeast Pennsylvania, alone in his station house and trolling the Internet for suspected child predators. Ryan Venneman, a detective for the Barrett Township...

Dem says it’s wrong to celebrate Christmas if unemployment benefits not extended. On Thursday’s magnificent installment of "Hardball" on MSNBC (which is barely watched by anyone…except the hardest of hardcore libs), Congressman Jim McDermott was on with Chris Matthews, making the case about unemployment benefits extension, when he brought Christianity into the mix. According to McDermott, it’s "simply wrong" to celebrate Christmas and some of its themes like caring about the poor…if Americans do not support extending unemployment benefits. This week was a particularly insane week on "Hardball," as earlier in the week, Democrat senator Sherrod Brown blasphemed that unemployment...

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced Monday morning that actors James Franco and Anne Hathaway will host the 83rd annual Oscar telecast Feb. 27 on ABC -- a move that certainly seems designed to help the academy achieve its long-held goal of attracting a younger viewing audience. The 32-year-old Franco is currently receiving rave reviews for his work in Danny Boyle's "127 Hours" and the 28-year-old Hathaway, currently starring in the new romantic drama "Love & Other Drugs," earned a best actress nomination for 2008's "Rachel Getting Married." "James Franco and Anne Hathaway personify the next generation...

CHINESE President Hu Jintao and United States President Barack Obama yesterday agreed to work together to advance relations between their two countries. Meeting on the sidelines of the Group of 20 summit in Seoul, the two leaders discussed bilateral relations as well as important regional and international issues. Hu said China was determined to push forward reform of the exchange rate formation mechanism, but that reform would have to be carried out in a good external environment and in a gradual manner. China's decision to further push forward the reform of its exchange rate formation mechanism was a difficult one...

Friday, October 29, 2010 Team, Today marks the day that Congressman Perriello has officially ditched his strategy of claiming to be an Independent voice for the people of Central and Southside Virginia, and embraced the face that he is Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi’s Congressman, not ours. For the past two years, Congressman Perriello has sided with Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama on all of their signature legislation and now Barack Obama is coming to Charlottesville to try and save his favorite Congressman, Tom Perriello. Please tune in tonight at 9pm to Sean Hannity’s show on Fox News Channel as...

Ruling party candidate Dilma Rousseff placed a strong first in Brazil's presidential election on Sunday, but a runoff looked inevitable after some voters were turned off at the last minute by a corruption scandal and her views on social issues

Asked why opposition to ending the ban seemed to be stronger in the Marine Corps, Conway said it was unclear but that "we recruit a certain type of young American, a pretty macho guy or gal, that is willing to go fight and perhaps die for their country."
