Jack Andraka is a fifteen year old freshman in high school. He developed a paper sensor that could detect pancreatic, ovarian and lung cancer in five minutes for as little as 3 cents. He conducted his research at John Hopkins University. This research could change the face of cancer and promote early detection. To think that scientists spending millions of dollars to find more about cancer, a 15 year old finds out by doing a science fair project!
Jack’s method is 168 times FASTER, 26000 times CHEAPER, 400 times MORE SENSITIVE, has 90% SUCCESS RATE. He has been selected as the Intel 2012 ISEF winner and has won awards at multiple national and international math competitions. Jack is on the national junior whitewater kayaking team and enjoys playing with his dog and folding origami.

Dear Friend of Whales, Dolphins and other Sea Creatures…
31 MILLION incidents of harm is not coexistence it is unilateral destruction!
Please join me in doing something about stopping this travesty.
Dear Friend of Whales, Dolphins and other Sea Creatures,
Despite the outcry of 625,000 of us who signed the previous petitions and are passionate about saving the last of the endangered whales, as well as thousands of other whales, dolphins and sea creatures, the Department of Fisheries/NOAA has decided to allow the US Navy to proceed with their plans to decimate our ocean populations with sonar sounds, exploding bombs and sinking of ships. In the Navy’s estimation there will be 31 million incidents of harm over the next 5 years to our ocean friends. The harm can range from disrupting their migratory patterns, ability to get food, communicate with their young, permanent hearing loss or bleeding to death. This figure is staggering!
This is our last opportunity to have our voices heard; to let them know we are not going to quietly go away, and that we are aware of their irresponsible decision. Our strength lies in our numbers when we act together. If each one of us shares this information with a few friends, we can create a groundswell of people willing to say “that’s enough”!
Please sign this petition, post it on social media sites and get at least 3 or more of your friends to sign. We need to make this a major media event. If we stand by and do nothing we may loose a vital part of our natural ocean species. Is one click of your mouse too much to ask to save our oceans? Department of Fisheries/NOAA is accepting comments only until March 11, 2013. Please act now by clicking on the link to add your voice.

How To Avoid Alzheimer's and Dementia
Just listened to a sales pitch for Dr Russell Blaycock’s Wellness Report. He provides a lot of good data (much of it I have heard before from other sources) on how to avoid Alzheimer’s and dementia in his sales pitch.

Timing of first menstrual cycle may be predictor of cardiovascular disease risk in women
The timing of the first menstrual period is a predictor of weight gain and heart attack risk factors. The earlier a girl has her first period predicts greater weight gain. Other studies have also found an increased risk of breast cancer with early menstrual cycles. The early menstrual cycles appear to be linked with an increased exposure to hormones including estrogen mimicking hormones like phthalates and BPA

More evidence has emerged showing the complete failure of modern vaccines to provide any real protection against disease. A recent study published in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) reveals that an astounding 97 percent of children affected by a mumps outbreak that swept the Northeast back in 2009 had already been vaccinated for the condition in accordance with recommended government guidelines.
