Saturn's Moon Enceladus Is A 'Cosmic Graffiti Artist,' Astronomers Dis
Astronomers from the University of Virginia and other institutions have found that Enceladus, the sixth-largest moon of Saturn, is a "cosmic graffiti artist,"pelting the surfaces of at least 11 other moons of Saturn with ice particles sprayed from its spewing surface geysers. This ice sandblasts the other moons, creating a reflective surface that makes them among the brightest bodies in the solar system. Onset Of Diabetes Higher In Patients Who Have Had Heart Attacks
People who have had heart attacks are at higher risk of developing both new-onset diabetes and the pre-diabetes condition impaired fasting glucose (IFG), conclude authors of a recent article. Patients with a recent heart attack were up to four-and-a-half times more likely to develop diabetes (3.7%) compared with the general population (0.8-1.6%), and more than 15 times more likely to develop IFG (27.5% versus 1.5%). USC Researchers Link Cellular Stress To Drug Resistance In Tumors
Cancer cells may be able to avoid destruction by anti-vascular and anti-angiogenesis agents through a cellular stress response that activates a pro-survival protein called GRP78, , according to researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California. This provides a novel explanation to address the failure of these drugs to meet initial expectations in the battle against the growth and spread of malignant tumors. New Isotope Gives A Glimpse Of The Origins Of Precious Metals
The beginnings of precious metals like gold can be traced to the blink of an eye in an exploding star billions of years ago, and scientists at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory at Michigan State University have been able to scrutinize a crucial step in that process. By reproducing the processes inside supernovas, scientists have resurrected an isotope of nickel that no longer exists in nature, but is an important link in the birth of the elements. Documents From the Trial of I. Lewis "Scooter"Libby

A bold new mission to the Moon was launched by the Chinese National Space Administration. Chang'e-1 blasted off from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center, Sichuan, atop a Long March 3A rocket. This represents the first step in the Chinese ambition to land robotic explorers on the Moon before 2020. The Indian Drug Lord
To Big Pharma, Mumbai-based drugmaker Cipla is a pirate operation. To the developing world, it's a medicine chest. Now its cheap generics are coming to a pharmacy near you. By Erika Check from Wired magazine. Chicano &Latino Artists in the Pacific Northwest

Some material also in Spanish. From The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington state. Another 'Smart'Cancer Drug Can Have Toxic Effects On The Heart, Study
Another FDA-approved targeted cancer drug, sunitinib, may be associated with cardiac toxicity, report researchers at Children's Hospital Boston, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and Thomas Jefferson University. Sunitinib is one of several new "smart"cancer drugs called tyrosine kinase inhibitors that targets specific signaling molecules inside cancer cells that aid cancer spread, and was originally thought to be relatively free of cardiac side effects.
