The nations weather (AP)
Weather Underground Forecast for Monday, January 16, 2012.
The cold and unstable airmass of the Northwest will spread into the Central Great Basin and the Central Rockies by early Monday morning as a strong cold front moves through the area. Below average temperatures in these regions will allow widely scattered light snow showers to develop through the morning hours. Snow in the Central Rockies will be enhanced by a system and moisture pushing out of the desert Southwest. Total snow accumulations in the mountains are expected to range from 5 to 10 inches with locally higher amounts. Gusty southwest winds may create periods of drifting snow through the day. A Winter Weather Advisory will remain in effect for the Central Rockies through Monday evening. Behind this system, chilly, below normal temperatures will persist in much of the West. Another disturbance will move across Washington in the afternoon, allowing for more rain and mountain snow showers.
Meanwhile, the trough of low pressure in the Northwest will slide out of the Northern Rockies and a cold front will extend from the Upper Great Lakes through the Central and Southern Plains. Southerly flow ahead of this front and it 1/4's associated low pressure system in the Central Plains will usher moisture from the Gulf of Mexico northward. This will lead to generally light rain showers in the Lower Mississippi Valley and eastern Texas through the afternoon. Showers will increase and spread into the Tennessee and Ohio Valley during the evening/Monday night with possible thunderstorm activity as the cold front pushes eastward. Temperatures in the Lower 48 states Sunday have ranged from a morning low of -23 degrees at Watertown, N.Y. to a high of 82 degrees at Alexandria Esle, La.

Hello ^^ I'm Princess Rose. I've been on here for a while now. I have quite a few ideas for different types of roleplays. I'm not going to write the storylines here though. You can pick a rp then pm me and I'll tell you the storylines. :]
What you can expect from me:
~semi-lit, I usually do 3+ lines but it depends on how much you give me to work with. I can write around two paragraphs if it's a good day and you give me enough to work with.
~Good spelling and grammer.
~I'm 14 so I like to keep the rp PG-13. If the characters want to "you know" then we can do a time skip.
~I'm homeschooled so I'm able to be online a lot.
~my timezone is GMT (Greenwhich Mean Time)
~I can roleplay both genders.
~I prefer 1x1's in pms. Rping in pms is easier for me because that way I'm notified instantly.
What I want from you:
~At least 3 lines or more.
~You need to be active.
~Good spelling and grammer.
~If possible you should be in a similar time zone but it doesn't really matter.
~Be able to rp both genders.
~You need to be ok with time skips when it comes to certain things.
~You need to be ok with pms.
~Don't ditch me for no reason, if you want to quit the rp you should tell me.
What I'll do:
Original
~VampirexHuman
~Vampire HunterxVampire
~AssassinxTarget (I like being the target)
~WerewolfxHuman
~ShapeshifterxHuman
~Boys love
~Girls love
~BullyxVictim (I like being the victim)
~GangsterxNormal girl (I like being the girl)
~DemonxHuman
Fanfic
~The Vampire Diaries KlausxAmber (Amber is me)
~The Vampire Diaries DamonxKrystal (Krystal is me)
~The Vampire Diaries DamonxElena
~The Vampire Diaries KlausxElena
---------- Tired of trying, sick of crying. Yeah I`m smiling, but inside I`m dying...

Researchers use sugar to halt esophageal cancer in its tracks
ScienceDaily (Jan. 15, 2012) ? Scientists working at the Medical Research Council have identified changes in the patterns of sugar molecules that line pre-cancerous cells in the esophagus, a condition called Barrett's dysplasia, making it much easier to detect and remove these cells before they develop into esophageal cancer. These findings, reported in the journal Nature Medicine, have important implications for patients and may help to monitor their condition and prevent the development of cancer.
Esophageal cancer is the fifth biggest cause of cancer death in the United Kingdom and the eighth leading cause of cancer deaths for men in the United States. Moreover, the number of people diagnosed with this disease is increasing rapidly. Individuals with a pre-cancerous condition known as Barrett's esophagus are at an increased risk of developing esophageal cancer, and need to be closely monitored to make sure that the disease is not progressing.
Dysplasia offers a stage at which cancer can be prevented by removing these cells. However correctly identifying these areas has proved to be problematic, as they can easily be missed during endoscopy and biopsy, which only take samples from a small part of the esophagus. This can result in false reassurance for patients in whom their dysplasia has been missed, and conversely those without dysplasia having to undergo further unnecessary treatments.
The team, based at the MRC Cancer Cell Unit in Cambridge, was led by Dr. Rebecca Fitzgerald and included New York University's Lara Mahal, an associate professor of chemistry, and William Eng, a laboratory technician.
The researchers discovered a new mechanism for identifying Barrett's dysplasia cells by spraying on a fluorescent probe that sticks to sugars and lights up any abnormal areas during endoscopy. By analyzing the sugars present in human tissue samples taken from different stages on the pathway to cancer -- using microarray technology developed by NYU's Mahal -- they found that there were different sugar molecules present on the surface of the pre-cancerous cells. This technology uses sugar binding proteins, known as lectins, to identify changes in sugars and pinpointed carbohydrate binding wheat germ proteins as a potential diagnostic. When the wheat germ proteins, attached to a fluorescent tag that glows under a specific type of light, were sprayed onto tissue samples, it showed decreased binding in areas of dysplasia, and these cells were clearly marked compared with the glowing green background.
"The rise in cases of esophageal cancer both in the UK and throughout the Western world means that it is increasingly important to find ways of detecting it as early as possible," Fitzgerald said. "Our work has many potential benefits for those with Barrett's esophagus who have an increased risk of developing esophageal cancer."
"We have demonstrated that binding of a wheat germ protein, which is cheap and non-toxic, can identify differences in surface sugars on pre-cancerous cells," she added. "And when coupled with fluorescence imaging using an endoscopic camera, this technique offers a promising new way of finding and then treating patients with the highest risk of developing esophageal cancer, at the earliest stage."

Editor: Hacking might have occurred at 2nd tabloid (AP)
LONDON ? The editor of Britain's Daily Mirror tabloid says it's possible illegal phone hacking took place at the newspaper.
Richard Wallace told the country's media ethics inquiry on Monday that hacking "might well" have been going on at the Mirror in the early 2000s.
But he said he had no knowledge of it and insisted "ethical issues are embedded" within the culture of the newsroom.
Wallace's predecessor, CNN celebrity interviewer Piers Morgan, has told the inquiry that he didn't believe he ever listened to hacked voicemail messages while he was editor between 1995 and 2004.
The judge-led inquiry into press standards and ethics was set up in the wake of revelations about illegal eavesdropping at Rupert Murdoch's now-shuttered News of the World.

Mississippi AG seeks to void governor's pardons (Reuters)
JACKSON, Mississippi (Reuters) ? Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood said on Friday he would ask a court to overturn the majority of former Governor Haley Barbour's 222 pardons of convicts because they failed to meet constitutional requirements.
Barbour, a prominent Republican, sparked controversy by pardoning 222 convicts -- including murderers and rapists -- during his final days in office this month, generating debate about how much power a governor should have to pardon criminals convicted of serious crimes.
"We will introduce our evidence in Hinds County Circuit Court on January 23 and ask the court to hold these purported pardons null and void," Hood said in a statement.
Of the 181 pardons reviewed so far, at least 167 did not meet the constitutional requirement of having published notice of their request for clemency in local newspapers where the crimes were committed, Hood said.
A preliminary review found 203 of the 222 pardons were full pardons, Hood said.
He described it as an "arduous task" to contact all the local newspapers to determine how many of the pardons had met the public notification requirement.
Barbour, in remarks broadcast on CBS Evening News on Friday, said he was "fully confident the pardons and other clemency that I have given are all valid."
"I believe in second chances, and I try hard to be forgiving," Barbour said. "None of these people are considered dangerous or threats to society. Some of them are in wheelchairs or are amputees."
A Mississippi judge on Wednesday barred the state from releasing 21 inmates still serving time when their pardons were announced and ordered five others who had already been freed to appear for a hearing on January 23.
Hood's office was able to contact four of the five men who had already been released to inform them of the court date, but appealed for the public to help in finding the remaining individual.
Barbour, a former Republican National Committee chairman who considered running for president this year, pardoned more people on his last day of office than his four most recent predecessors combined, according to state government statistics.
Barbour's office has said a minority of those convicts who received clemency remained behind bars and that 90 percent of them were no longer in prison when the pardons were granted.
Barbour had said that the pardons were intended to allow the inmates "to find gainful employment or acquire professional licenses as well as hunt and vote," and that his decisions were typically based on the recommendation of the Parole Board.
One of those pardoned was the brother of former National Football League quarterback Brett Favre. Earnest Scott Favre was convicted in 1996 of driving while intoxicated after a vehicle he was driving crashed and killed his best friend.
Also included were four men convicted of murder and another convicted of armed robbery, all serving life sentences, who worked at the governor's mansion cleaning vehicles, waiting tables and performing other domestic duties.
