...those who receive a diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) will die within two years of getting it, regardless of whether they take "conventional blood medications" or azacitidine. Of the estimated 60,000 people living with MDS in the U.S., 75% have a lower-risk diagnosis, providing a much less ominous prognosis. Research indicates that lower-risk MDS patients under age 70 survive, on average, four to nine years after diagnosis, meaning that some MDS patients live much longer. Richard M. Stone, Mikkael A.

Obama claims to have scuttled Constellation in order to replace it with a partially privatized space program. But this is Washington doublespeak at its worst and nothing less than a cover for doing away with the program.

The private space industry has a very important role to play but it cannot and should not replace the role of government—the two are synergistic...
...administration has good reason to be wary of students taking on excessive course loads, students who desire to study two subjects and who are prepared to handle the work should be allowed to do so. Objectors might reasonably point to the existence of secondary fields, but this response is less than satisfying. Secondary fields are meant to provide the opportunity for guided work in a field outside of the concentration, not to unite two fields in the same way a joint concentration would...
