California – Researchers have found a critical element that may explain why some cancers spread farther and faster than others, a discovery that could lead to one of the Holy Grails of cancer treatment: containing the disease.

Scientists from the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have identified a protein that seems to serve as a switch, regulating the spread of cancer from the primary tumor to distant spots in the body – a process known  as metastasis.

The protein is used by embryo cells during early development, but then disappears from the body after an individual comes out of  the womb.

According to the researchers, the protein was only found in people with  metastatic cancer, leading them to believe that the regulation of this protein could potentially stop the dangerous progression of this killer disease.  Full Article

Washington DC – Rep. Jeff Duncan wants to know why IRS law enforcement agents are training  with AR-15 rifles.

As chairman of the House Homeland Security oversight subcommittee, Duncan  (R-S.C.) toured a federal law enforcement facility in late May and noticed agents training with the semi-automatic weapons at a firing range. They  identified themselves as IRS, he said.

“When I left there, it’s been bugging me for weeks now, why IRS agents are  training with a semi-automatic rifle AR-15, which has stand-off capability,”

Duncan told POLITICO. “Are Americans that much of a target that you need that  kind of capability?”

“I think Americans raise eyebrows when you tell them that IRS agents are  training with a type of weapon that has stand-off capability. It’s not like  they’re carrying a sidearm and they knock on someone’s door and say, “You’re  evading your taxes,’” Duncan said.

Given the increased scrutiny amid the agency’s targeting of political groups  and excessive spending, Duncan said, he intends to seek answers from the  IRS.  Full Article

The American Veterinary Medical Association, along with the Humane Society of the United States, are also both against performing surgery for cosmetic reasons alone.

“Sometimes people don’t think very hard about the inherent risks that are involved in anesthesia for one of our pets,” said Kristen Thiesen of the Humane Society.

But there are many cosmetic procedures that are indeed undertaken for health reasons.

If your pet has a bad bite, for example, it can cause a lot of pain.

Orthodontics such as braces can help straighten teeth.

A Dunkin’ Donuts customer, 27-year-old Taylor Chapman, freaked out at a seemingly innocent employee because she didn’t receive a receipt with a previous order, according to an eight-minute long rant that was uploaded to YouTube.

The worst part? The employee she decided to yell at wasn’t even working when the alleged receipt mishap first happened.

In the video, the customer says she should get free food because of Dunkin’ Donuts’ policy that stipulates that customers who do not get a receipt with their order are entitled to refund of their purchase.

A Dunkin’ Donuts representative confirmed that the Dunkin’ Donuts featured in the video does abide by the policy. Full Article   Watch video at Nutty News Videos (warning crude language)

WILMINGTON – Daniel Metzgar had a problem that wouldn’t go away.

The Newark truck driver lived with an erection that lasted about eight months – a result of a botched surgical procedure by a Wilmington urologist who performed a penile implant on him in 2009, according to a medical malpractice lawsuit being heard this week in New Castle County Superior Court.

Wherever the 44-year-old went, his condition got in the way, said Metzgar’s attorney, Michael C. Heyden.

Retrieving the morning newspaper became a problem. Riding his motorcycle was, too.

Even family events became uncomfortable because, as Heyden put it, “Dan is stuck in this position.”

The source of the issue was a three-piece inflatable implant, consisting of inflatable cylinders inside the shaft of the penis, a fluid reservoir under the abdominal wall and a pump inside the scrotum.  Full Article

Nevada – Frustrated Allegiant Air passengers spent 5 hours on tarmac in Vegas.

Dustin Kaelberer said he boarded the first plane at 10:30 a.m., expecting an 11:10 a.m. departure for Phoenix.

He said the first plane was pushed back and sat on the tarmac for about 45 minutes before it was pulled back to the terminal, but the passengers did not get off the aircraft.

The first plane was pushed back a second time and again sat on the tarmac for about a half hour before it was pulled back to the terminal, he said. This time the passengers were allowed to exit.

About 40 minutes later, the passengers boarded a second plane, pushed back and again sat on the tarmac for about a half hour, Kaelberer said.

He said the second plane was pulled back to the terminal, and passengers were kept on the plane. He said about an hour after boarding the second plane, it was pushed back and finally took off for Phoenix.

Kaelberer said that while stuck on the plane, there was no air and several passengers became ill. He said some passengers even asked for water, and they were told there was no water on the airplane.

“People were getting nose bleeds, they were throwing up in the bathrooms because of the heat,” Kaelberer told KVVU.  Full Article
