New Cancer Vaccine Coming -cnbnews.net

 

ScienceDaily (June 20, 2011) – Mayo Clinic investigators and collaborators from the United Kingdom cured well-established prostate tumors in mice using a human vaccine with no apparent side effects. This novel cancer treatment approach encourages the immune system to rid itself of prostate tumors without assistance from toxic chemotherapies and radiation treatments. Such a treatment model could some day help people to live tumor free with fewer side effects than those experienced from current therapies.

The findings appear in the journal Nature Medicine.

Kings Highway to be closed for railroad-crossing repairs in East Greenwich -cnbnews.net

 

(Trenton)– The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) today announced that a \"Drainco portion of Kings Highway (CR 551) in East Greenwich will be temporarily closed in order to rehabilitate a Conrail freight railroad grade crossing.

Kings Highway is scheduled to be closed to traffic at the railroad crossing between Berkley Road and Whiskey Mill Road from Thursday, June 23 at 6 a.m. to Friday, June 24 at around 6 p.m., weather dependent. 

 

· Motorists heading south will take Berkley Road (CR 678) to W. Cohawkin Road (CR 667) to Kings Highway.

 

· Motorists heading north will take W. Cohawkin Road (CR 667) to Berkley Road (CR 678) to Kings Highway.

 

The detour routes were coordinated with East Greenwich Police. Access will be maintained to businesses and properties. 

 

In order to provide a safer and smoother railroad crossing on Kings Highway, NJDOT will replace the existing crossing with a new concrete freight rail crossing and repave the asphalt approaches. The cost of the work is $98,500. This project is part of NJDOT’s ongoing railroad grade-crossing safety program which repairs, upgrades or removes approximately 30 crossings each year. 

 

The precise timing of the work mentioned in this advisory is subject to change due to weather or other factors. Motorists are encouraged to check NJDOT’s traffic information website www.511nj.org for construction updates and real-time travel information.

Controversial Reverend Attacks Election Day Photo ID Requirements as Racist Conspiracy


Washington, D.C. – Spokesmen for theProject 21 black leadership network are critical of the Reverend Jesse Jackson\’s (photo)call for federal intervention against state-level efforts to protect voting integrity, noting that the radical reverend\’s agenda belittles blacks and essentially would set them apart for special consideration.

\”Demanding that all voters — not just blacks — present photo ID cards at the polls is no more \’a radical rollback of our civil and voting rights,\’ as Jackson put it, than it is an assault on the right of free movement when federal authorities demand that blacks — like all Americans — show photo ID cards before boarding passenger jets,\” said Project 21 spokesman Deroy Murdock \”This sensible and vital step towards combating the mounting problem of vote fraud is no more a racist plot than are the federal rules that require blacks — like all Americans — to show photo ID before purchasing anti-cold medications containing pseudoephedrine.

The Div. A wall can be seen leaning drastically outward

At 5:25 Sunday morning, June 19, 2011, fire erupted in Camden City at 1698 Federal St., the old Concord Chemical Company Building. Camden City Engine 9 arrived and reported a large vacant commercial building with heavy smoke throughout. A 2nd and 3rd Alarm were immediately requested. Camden City Battalion 1 arrived shortly there after and requested the 4th Alarm to be struck along with a Hazmat Response. Squrt 51 and Squad 13 along with Hazmat 13 responded into Camden upon the 4th Alarm being struck.

Div B Side

Squad 13 / Hazmat 13 began air monitoring and water run off sampling to ensure no chemicals or additional toxins were present in the building. This was confirmed that no additional hazardous materials were present and the Squad Company was released at 0800 hours. Squrt 51 remained on location, to continue master stream operations on the Division A Side of the building. The Squrt was relocated several times due to the building collapsing and concerns for additional collapses of the walls and roof. Shift change was made on scene with the members of B Platoon relieving A Platoon from the fire ground. Squrt 51 continued to operate until 1430 hours. The squrt was utilized extensively on the Division A side because of its ability to articulate and apply water up under the piles of debris via lower windows and openings.
