There are several avenues of research that may hold some promise. One is the Holy Grail of cancer research: a chemical or biological marker in the blood that reliably indicates whether even a few cancer cells are present. We already have something like that for prostate cancer, the PSA test; and while I know that there are some feminists who would say this is no coincidence, I’m a scientist as well as a feminist, and I know that it really is a coincidence....
With the new venture, Transmeta CEO David Ditzel, a veteran of Sun Microsystems, is aiming squarely at Intel, the world’s largest chipmaker. His secret weapon: an all-star cadre of engineers from about 20 countries, including Linus Torvalds, creator of Linux. Intel was quiet last week, but, significantly, its Web site highlighted its own chip offerings for portable computers. It remains to be seen if Transmeta can dent Intel’s dominance and survive the rough waters of the chip industry....
1.Goalkeeper Bernd Leno is much more solid and seems like the first very good goalkeeper between the sticks of the Gunners since a long time. Petr Čech decided to retire at the end of the season, which he made public in an Instagram post, and will obviously not be included in the team’s plans. David Ospina could be a cheap buy for Napoli as they have a reported £4 million buy-option for the keeper, where the Italian club will surely pull the trigger on such a good deal....
We found the teensy keyboard tough to work; youngsters may not mind. Also, our units communicated only when within several yards. But we played checkers from across the room. And we liked the You & Me feature. First, set up your personal profile; then when a compatible person’s Cybiko comes near, both units vibrate. Is it love? At $149 each, it’d better be.
In a recent interview with Polygon, Josef Fares, developer of A Way Out and founder of Hazelight Studios, discussed the new game It Takes Two, his focus on co-op, and his opinion on Xbox Game Pass. Particularly, how developers can get paid through Xbox Game Pass and that Fares is unsure if it will benefit game developers in the long run or not.

Suddenly, the world looks like a troubled, dangerous place again. As it fights a war in which little has so far gone right, the United States faces the prospect of a great-power rivalry with both China and Russia. The public seems to sense the risk; in the latest NEWSWEEK poll, 39 percent of respondents think the world is a more perilous place than it was during the cold war, while only 18 percent think it is safer....
Pop star turned rapper Carter, 34, was found dead in a bathtub on the morning of November 5 at his home in Lancaster, California, CNN reported. He was pronounced dead at the scene, according to local authorities.

Just last week, the Packers star told ESPN Wisconsin’s Jason Wilde that he wouldn’t rule out retirement after completing the 2021 campaign, as there will be “a lot of things that I’ll weigh in the offseason” before making a final decision. The 38-year-old elaborated on the possibility of walking away from the league during his weekly appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show.” MORE: NFL MVP voter explains why he won’t support Rodgers...
His was a real football, of course, and not some silver sculpture of one. And we’ll assume that Rodgers had not imbibed before his toss, seeing that he was competing in the American Century Championship. MORE: Brady takes jab at Rodgers’ Packers drama during ‘The Match’ There was no accurate yardage measurement of the throw, but this video makes it appear that Rodgers’ arm is strong enough for Packers training camp — if he decides to show up for it....
In his weekly appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, the four-time NFL MVP told McAfee that Adams is the best guy in the NFL at what he does. Also, both the Packers and the wide receiver would like to get a long-term deal done this offseason. Adams is a free agent after the four-year, $58 million contract he signed in December 2017 (but which began in the 2018 season) expired....
However, de Villiers’ compatriot Quinton De Kock has flown back home to attend a wedding. The RCB batting mainstay had missed last the two games due to viral fever. “AB is fit. Quinton is away from this game. He has returned home for a wedding. He’s unavailable for this match. Easy decision for us to make,” Vettori told reporters here on the eve of the match. The former Kiwi spinner also praised compatriot Colin De Grandhomme for the superb finish against Mumbai Indians when he hammered three sixes in the final over....
The boy reportedly had been traveling on a truck carrying more than 100 migrants before the vehicle pulled over after some passengers fell ill from the heat and improper air circulation in the truck.

He was also described as being shirtless when he was found and was holding his face in his hands....

Few people talk that way about Dunkin’ Donuts, the world’s largest doughnut chain. With nearly 5,000 shops in 37 countries, it generates 10 times the sales of Krispy Kreme, which rings up $238 million in revenues. Krispy’s sales rose 18 percent last year, compared with Dunkin’ Donuts’ 6 percent. And Krispy Kreme has ambitious expansion plans. It aims to open more than 500 new shops nationwide over the next seven years–an unappetizing prospect to the biggies, who worry that size and a big financial cushion might be no match for, well, what might best be described as a passion deKreme....
Turkey now has a golden opportunity to finally reconcile with its Kurdish population and, ultimately, with itself. But each side needs to act. The PKK should end its armed struggle. Real peaceful overtures couldn’t have happened as long as Ocalan was in charge. He was never suited to the role of a peacemaker. Neither his extreme authoritarianism nor his cruel character left any place for conciliatory moves. He was a guerrilla commander, not a political leader....
A feeling of helplessness came over me in the doctor’s office. I had regained control of my life after the false accusation and here I was asking somebody else to tell me about my life, my body. Remembering that moment now, I think of God and his plan for me. I think of others, too, who sit in a state of absolute anxiety as they wait to hear from doctors what their fate will be....
