The day after Thanksgiving I was strolling around the tree lot, comparing needles and color and shape. And how I ended up with the ugliest Christmas tree ever, Ill never know. That is an ugly tree!" My son declared when he pulled it from the back of the pick up truck. "No, its not ... its charming. A lady at the tree lot told me it was a charming little tree, I said, defending it just 10 minutes after its purchase. "Take it back, trade it for something else moml Its awftil! He begged. "Wait till the branches relax a little, you cant judge it yet! I countered, standing back a few feet Had there been a mix up? Was this the tree I chose? After fitting it to the stand, stringing the lights, hanging the ornaments, a terrible sinking feeling entered into my soul. My son was right. There was nothing to argue about it was ugly. Ugly to the bone.

A man, his wife, and They tested their devices, which on named have nanogenerators, they Tiny radioactive generators that home in on cancer cells and zap them with deadly particles may provide an entirely new approach to treating several forms of cancer, researchers said Thursday. The molecule-siz- e devices are a kind of biological Trojan horse that can seek out cancer cells anywhere in the body, attach to them, and fry them with a radioactive molecule, ' the scientists report in Fridays issue of the journal Science. So far they have kept mice alive for weeks longer than thqy would have been expected to survive with prostate cancer and lymphoma, Dr. David Scheinberg, a leukemia speg cialist at Memorial Cancer Center in New York, who helped lead the study, said. The technology combines two time-teste- d approaches to cancer radioactive treatment and monoclonal antibodies! Scheinbergs team took a single atom of actinium-225- , a radioactive atom that emits alpha particles that can kill cells, and enclosed it in a molecular cage. This was attached to a monoclonal antibody, which is an engineered antibody programmed to target specific cancer cells.

Kids are very reluctant to tell on other kids. We tell them they don't have to, but they may want to think about the benefit it will have on their friends," he stated.
