...with. All have exhausted traditional treatments, such as surgery, radiation and chemo, and even some alternative ones like hyperthermia and autohemotherapy. Patients in the study have pancreatic tumors and aggressive brain tumors called glioblastomas, among other cancers; participants are recruited primarily because their tumors show high glucose metabolism in PET scans...
...This makes any trip to a Tokyo bathroom an exercise in extremes, either a thigh-challenging balancing act or a luxurious pampering. Back at Tokyo Midtown, as I watched the dogs cruise by in their custom strollers, I wondered if Japan's vaunted toilet-makers have considered creating a pet-friendly washlet. After all, at least one firm is busy trying to develop commodes that can do everything from test for pregnancy to check the glucose levels of diabetics.

The Corps of Engineers has demonstrated its ineptness in managing the task. It lacks the expertise required to evaluate the myriad alternative solutions and execute a plan. Rebuilding and protecting New Orleans and the coastal wetlands is indeed analogous to putting a person on the moon. It should be orchestrated by an independent civilian agency composed of experts from industry and academia, representing all the branches of science and engineering from which expertise is required. That agency would...
