It is the day the Obama White House hoped to have three million Americans sign up for Obamacare since the Healthcare.gov website was launched on October 1. So far, only about 1.1 million individuals have signed on to receive healthcare insurance through the un-Affordable non-Care Act. According to Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC), the only non-voting member of Congress, the disappointing number of individuals who have signed up for Obamacare is because of Republicans."

Is A Full-Scale Terrorist Attack On U.S. Power Stations Imminent? | Freedom Outpost

Is A Full-Scale Terrorist Attack On U.S. Power Stations Imminent? | Freedom Outpost: "The possibility of terrorists attacking U.S. electrical power facilities is not a new concept. An Electromagnetic Pulse weapon (EMP) would be the perfect device to completely send America back to the 19th century. Not only would an EMP device make power stations worthless, but this kind of a device would virtually shut down all communication capabilities within the United States. Late model cars would be unable to start, planes would fall from the sky. An EMP is the by-product of a nuclear weapon detonated above the earth’s atmosphere. The explosion releases gamma rays, creating a catastrophic electrical disturbance. But what if all this time a more simplistic and hands-on attack would be what brings the United States to its knees? This is the reality. An event that occurred in California in April proves that American power stations are wide open and completely vulnerable to incoming terrorist attacks."

Potential brain tumour drug can distinguish cancer cells from healthy ones - The Almagest: "A potential new drug, already in clinical development, can stop brain tumour cells growing while leaving healthy cells alone, according to new research published in PLOS ONE.

Cancer Research UK scientists from the Samantha Dickson Brain Cancer Unit, which is funded by The Brian Tumour Charity, at the UCL Cancer Institute in London focused on glioblastoma, the most common type of brain tumour. Using cells growing in the lab, they treated glioblastoma cells and healthy cells with more than 150 potential drugs, and compared the responses. One of these molecules, called J101, was able to stop the cancer cells growing but left the normal cells alone."
