Published today in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, the study showed extracts from acai (ah-SAH’-ee) berries triggered a self-destruct response in up to 86 percent of leukemia cells tested, said Stephen Talcott, an assistant professor with UF’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences.

Jesus’ Birthday: finding out the correct date
In the sixth century, Dio nysius Exiguus, a monk, proposed that the Christian era be made to commence on a date of unquestioned religious significance, the supposed date of the birth of Jesus Christ.With this system, the BC and AD sequences began…. In the winter—and December is the dead of winter—they are brought indoors for safekeeping and to heat the homes of the shepherds.Michael Molnar, a scholar at Rutgers University, boldly asserted from historical, astronomical and astrological evidence that “Jesus would have been 2,000 years old on April 17, 1995.”

OEDb: “The Ultimate Guide to the Invisible Web”
When you use a search engine on the Internet and can’t find what you’re looking for, what do you do?… Fortunately, the invisible Web is getting easier to search, with tools beyond the standard big three search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and MSN.In the early days of the Web, computing power and storage space was at such a premium that the few search engines that were around often indexed only a tiny fraction of Web pages and not even full pages at that.

DREAD: Multiple Projectile Delivery System (MPDS): No recoil, no sound, no heat, no gunpowder, no visible firing signature, and no stoppages or jams
All this, of course, makes the DREAD revolutionary in the literal sense, as well as the conceptual one.According to the DREAD Advantages Sheet, “unlike conventional weapons that deliver a bullet to the target in intervals of about 180 feet, the DREAD’s rounds will arrive only 30 thousandths of an inch apart (1/32nd of an inch apart), thereby presenting substantially more mass to the target in much less time than previously possible.”… So, there’s virtually no wear and tear on the system, no matter how many rounds are fired through it back-to-back, even if it’s run constantly on full-auto at 120,000 rpm, the whole time.Here’s the kicker: because it’s electrically powered and doesn’t use any powdered propellant for it’s operation, the DREAD Centrifuge Weapon is virtually silent (no sound signature), except for the supersonic “crack” of the metal balls breaking the sound barrier when they’re launched.
