...Some researchers think the solution is to avoid involving androgen receptors altogether. But Charles Sawyers, a cancer researcher at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI), isn't convinced - and he has an alternative. In the new Science paper, co-authored by Sawyers and other researchers at HHMI, the University of California, Los Angeles, and a host of other institutions, data suggest that a new chemical compound may sidestep the problem of resistance. When used to treat mouse tumors that were derived from drug-resistant prostate-cancer cells, the compound led to dramatic shrinkage, which has researchers hoping for a similar...

Center for Global Risk and Security, says the problem isn't that Intellipedia can't produce NIEs but that decision makers rely too heavily on such reports to begin with. "There's much too much concentration on finished intelligence," Treverton says.

Otherwise, we're put in an impossible situation in which we're tacitly supporting activities that are geared to violent resistance. (See pictures of life under Hamas in Gaza...
...this tougher than bringing peace to Northern Ireland? One thing I learned is that you simply just don't give up. People said Northern Ireland was completely hopeless. But in the end, it wasn't. And this isn't, either. On one level, this is easier because there is an agreement among most people - and that's trying to reach a two-state solution...
