What sounds like yet another version of the Atkins craze is actually based on scientific evidence that dates back more than 80 years. In 1924, the German Nobel laureate Otto Warburg first published his observations of a common feature he saw in fast-growing tumors: unlike healthy cells, which generate energy by metabolizing sugar in their mitochondria, cancer cells appeared to fuel themselves exclusively through glycolysis, a less-efficient means of creating energy through the fermentation of sugar in the cytoplasm. Warburg believed that this metabolic switch was the primary cause of cancer, a theory that he strove, unsuccessfully...
...sales slowed, builders are reverting to rentals. In the second half of 2007, some 62,300 apartments will be added, double that of the first six months, according to real estate tracker Reis. In the short term, that gives renters the advantage, since their numbers aren't growing as fast as the apartment count is.

Many of you will be busy this week trying to procure alcohol, but you don’t have to be 25 like McLovin to get yourself on the fast train to Drunk-town. In fact, tickets to D-town are readily available if you know where to look. Budding chemists might want to head to the alleyway behind the Delphic and try to separate residual ethanol from the various yellow liquids you will encounter there. Otherwise just clump together...
