...burst into flame. Witnesses said the fire started shortly before noon, possibly caused by the explosion of a gas cylinder used for cooking. High winds coupled with 104-degree heat caused the blaze to spread quickly among some 70,000 wood-and-canvas tents. Firefighters needed several hours to contain the blaze. As often happens in catastrophic fires, the majority of the casualties were victims of the side-effects of the blaze, in this case the stampede that broke out as the flames spread.

Even if that's true, say other scientists, MAP kinases are just one component of an elaborate biochemical network that controls the process of cell division. Though breast tumors may contain high levels of the enzymes, that may well be an effect of malignancy rather than the cause. This does not mean that MAP kinases are not important contributors to tumor growth. But, cautions Susan Braun, president of the Susan G.
