Brain cancer successfully treated with electrical field

A device that specifically targets rapidly growing cancer cells with intermediate frequency electrical fields -- called Tumor-Treating Fields (TTFields) -- doubled the survival rates of patients with brain cancer, according to a Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) journal article

Wine galore! Booze floods city
THE wine flowed in Salisbury last night when a booze delivery tanker sprang a 26,000-litre leak.

Streets were flooded with alcohol when the lorry was damaged on its way to make a delivery.

A Wiltshire fire service spokesman said: "The vehicle that had contained 26,000 litres of wine sustained damage whilst in motion, causing the leak.

"A large quantity of the spillage was contained by the fire service using specialist equipment provided for their use in such incidents."........

Pole wakes from 19-year coma in democratic country

WARSAW (Reuters) - A 65-year-old railwayman who fell into a coma following in an accident in communist Poland regained consciousness 19 years later to find democracy and a market economy, Polish media reported on Saturday.

Wheelchair-bound Jan Grzebski, whom doctors had given only two or three years to live following his 1988 accident, credited his caring wife Gertruda with his revival.

Free Virus Anyone?
An ad offering online consumers a 'free virus' attracted a number of curious users, Helsinki based computer security expert Didier Stevens found, according to Reuters.

Mr Stevens ran a bogus advertising campaign on Google Adword that said 'Is your PC virus-free? Get it infected here!'

Oddly, some 409 people clicked on the ad during the six months it was up.

The experiment, which did not involve a real virus, had been aiming to show how easily the advertising system run by Google can be used for malicious intent.

'Some of them must have clicked on it by mistake. Some must have been curious or stupid,' said Mikko Hypponen, head of research at data security firm F-Secure, reports Reuters.

409 in six months doesn't really seem like that much...(Not with the current activity.)
I wonder if people are becoming more aware and secure...?
