While bisphosphonates block the activity of bone-destroying cells, denosumab prevents new ones from forming altogether. The end result is a tipping of the bone balance away from bone destruction and toward bone formation. Early studies in mice...

She's leading the calls for Hawaii to release Obama's "true" birth certificate (though Hawaii has already released Obama's Certification of Live Birth) and has even produced what she purports to be Obama's true Kenyan birth...
...wife Adeline Jaffe, a literary agent, were rare New Deal Democrats among conservative moguls like Louis B. Mayer and unreconstructed primitives like Harry Cohn; and Budd extended their liberalism into membership in the Communist Party. After graduating from Dartmouth College in 1936 and returning to Hollywood, he was placed on the board of the new Screenwriters Guild to agitate for Party causes. He also worked on some B movies.
