Talented teenage immigrant stabbed in racist attack
AN INDUSTRIOUS young schoolboy and gifted teenage rapper who fled the Congo for a better life in Scotland has become the latest victim in an ever increasing catalogue of brutal race attacks in Glasgow. Christopher Ikolo, the 15-year-old black victim of the crime, was accosted in the street as he returned to school from his lunch-break last Friday, called a "black bastard" and knifed in the back in broad daylight in Govanhill on Glasgow's southside. Last year 168 race attacks perpetrated by youths were reported in Glasgow. In the past three years there have been 433 incidents. .
Will an “emotional moment”
The Religious Reich is wringing their hands and freaking out right about now (and I LOVE it). A vote for Mitt—probably the most competent and "Presidential" of the GOP brood—is a vote for gasp! a CULT! (That cracks me UP! Xtians not wanting to vote for Romney because they think Mormonism is a cult…classic "pot, meet kettle" rhetoric. ALL religions are CULTS.) The RR like Huck, 'cuz he's a good ol' boy sworn to uphold the Bible of the United States, but he hasn't been a very good guv. In fact, some of his politics are actually progressive. We certainly can't have that. McCain is too liberal for them, and face it, no one else has a shot. Rudy's dead in the water. Sorry, Gules, but you wore out your only card: Sept. 11th. Yawn. So the conservatives in America are scared.

Health laws flatten pancake race
The event was revived 11 years ago and since then crowds have gathered in the centre of Ripon, North Yorkshire, on Shrove Tuesday to watch school children running down a cobbled street flipping pancakes as they go. The start is signalled by the ringing of the cathedral's ancient "pancake bell" at 11 am on the day. The bell, originally sounded to call worshippers to make their confession before the start of Lent, has been rung at that time for at least 600 years. However, organisers have reluctantly scrapped the popular pancake race this year because of mounting costs and bureaucracy linked to health and safety rules. Payments for road closures, policing, insurance risk assessments and volunteer staffing problems have forced the cathedral Dean to call time on the tradition.
Dendreon Presents Data Correlating the Cumulative Potency of PROVENGE ...
SEATTLE and SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Researchers from Dendreon Corporation (NASDAQ: DNDN) today presented data demonstrating the correlation of a measure of the cumulative potency of PROVENGE (sipuleucel-T), an investigational active cellular immunotherapy for hormone-refractory prostate cancer, with overall survival. This is the first time that an association between higher potency of an active immune therapy and increased patient survival has been reported. The correlation appeared to be independent of other important baseline prognostic factors. The abstract (#21), "Cell Number and CD54 Expression in Sipuleucel-T Correlate with Survival in Metastatic Androgen Independent Prostate Cancer," is being presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology's 2008 Genitourinary Symposium in San Francisco.
Exercise for Arthritis Patients
CHAPEL HILL -- Patients with arthritis, the country's leading cause of disability, tend to be less fit than their peers who don't have this condition. Studies have shown, however, that they can safely participate in exercise programs to increase their fitness, strength and psychosocial status and health providers recommend that arthritis patients participate in exercise. A new study published by a University of North Carolina (UNC) researcher, published in the most recent issue of Arthritis Care and Research, evaluated the effects of the People with Arthritis Can Exercise (PACE) program to promote managing arthritis through exercise. Although pilot studies had shown that PACE, developed by the Arthritis Foundation, led to improvements for arthritis patients, this was the first randomized controlled trial to evaluate the program.
