Happy 4th of July Jul 4, 2017

The Star-spangled Banner (Marc Anthony)

Oh say, can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs’ bursting in air
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there
Oh say, does that Star-spangled Banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

“Doubly Charmed” Baryons: Ξcc++ (Xicc++) Jul 9, 2017

Ξcc++  LHC Physicists Unveil a Charming New Particle

The particle, known as Xi-cc++ (pronounced “Ksī-CC plus-plus”), is composed of three smaller elementary particles called quarks—specifically, one lighter-weight “up” quark like those found in protons and neutrons as well as two “charm” quarks, which are a heavier and more exotic variety.

  Flavors and Colors (particle physics)

In the Standard Model of particle physics, there are six “flavors”of quarks
(up, down, charm, strange, top, bottom).

Each of the six "flavors" of quarks can have three different "colors".

《因言获罪》

在消瘦苍白的颧骨上
用一双干干净净的目光
善意而怜悯地看着我

《因言获罪》
——纪念一位赤子之死

因言获罪,绝不会到你为止
今夜,这个尊贵的罪名
突然立在我面前
在消瘦苍白的颧骨上
用一双干干净净的目光
善意而怜悯地看着我

当我为换不来五斗米的文字
沮丧愤懑时,你已撕裂了自己
把字当作种子,洒了一地
你不问收获地走了
因为使它们生长的不是你

没有了“因言获罪”
写者的良心,该如何被惊醒?
千古文章岂不成了蛀虫的粮仓
皇帝的新衣,被文人们歌咏
历史的骸骨,在闹市中沉默
你,一个没有仇敌的赤子
把千疮百孔的身体挂上木架
成为献给真理的花环

你走了,将最后一把生命之火
也投进了谎言世界
无边的黑暗瞬间就会弥合
殉道者的火种,尽都沉入深渊
谁肯步你们的后尘精卫填海?
祭坛的火仍烧着,刑具仍竖着
谁愿成为下一个祭物?

施玮写于2017年7月13日


他是谁?一个不能提起的名字,一个自由的囚犯。他走了,天堂里没有囚室。

Immunotherapy Drug Heads for FDA Approval Jul 14, 2017

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdLap6t_64M&t=0s



http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/12/health/fda-committee-recommends-cancer-drug-immunotherapy/index.html

http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/02/health/immunotherapy-cancer-debate-explainer/index.html



(CNN)A new gene therapy drug, the first in its class, was recommended for approval to the US Food and Drug Administration by an advisory committee on Wednesday. If approved by the FDA, the agency would consider it the first gene therapy to hit the market.

The drug may provide a second chance to some leukemia patients whose first-line drugs have failed.
A panel of experts voted to endorse the immunotherapy drug, known as tisagenlecleucel, which treats a type of leukemia that is more common among children. Ten committee members voted in favor, and one left early without voting. None voted against.
Hope and hype around cancer immunotherapy
Hope and hype around cancer immunotherapy
The drug enables patients' own immune cells to recognize and kill the source of the cancer: a different immune cell gone awry.
"Which one wins is really the question of life or death," said Dr. Catherine Diefenbach, clinical director of lymphoma at the NYU Perlmutter Cancer Center. Diefenbach, who was not involved in researching the drug and has no ties to its manufacturer, Novartis, described its results as "astounding."

(CNN)A new gene therapy drug, the first in its class, was recommended for approval to the US Food and Drug Administration by an advisory committee on Wednesday. If approved by the FDA, the agency would consider it the first gene therapy to hit the market.


Novartis refers to the drug as immunotherapy, not gene therapy. The FDA, however, would classify it as gene therapy.



    CAR-T
       The FDA defines human gene therapy as:

       “Human gene therapy refers to products that introduce genetic material into a person’s DNA to replace faulty or missing genetic material, thus treating a disease or abnormal medical condition.”

"Killing Cancer" Jul 16, 2017

QHE,

Thanks for the clarification on the alternative terminology; I was wondering what the difference was.

I also remember watching a "60 Minutes" story on this area of medical research ... can't believe more than 2 years had passed.

You're welcome, Steve.

BTW, if approved by the FDA, the "tailor-made treatments" are expected to cost up to $500,000.

Heard in passing Jul 21, 2017

QHE,

Yesterday on TV an oncology expert mentioned that immunotherapy with the polio virus might be used to treat Senator McCain's Glioblastoma cancer, after he finishes radiation therapy and chemotherapy.

Hope it's effective on him; he's sure been a fighter all his life!

Steve,

As it turned out, in May 2016, the FDA granted “Breakthrough Therapy” designation to the genetically modified poliovirus for treating recurrent glioblastoma. "60 Minutes" devoted follow-up segments tracking the progress of the clinical trial at Duke.

Indeed! Despite the diagnosis, Sen. McCain vowed to “be back soon” to the Senate.
Praying for Sen. John McCain and his family.

The Joy of Quiet Aug 1, 2017

吴冠中 画



The Joy of Quiet
By PICO IYER    DEC. 29, 2011

ABOUT a year ago, I flew to Singapore to join the writer Malcolm Gladwell, the fashion designer Marc Ecko and the graphic designer Stefan Sagmeister in addressing a group of advertising people on “Marketing to the Child of Tomorrow.” Soon after I arrived, the chief executive of the agency that had invited us took me aside. What he was most interested in, he began — I braced myself for mention of some next-generation stealth campaign — was stillness.

A few months later, I read an interview with the perennially cutting-edge designer Philippe Starck. What allowed him to remain so consistently ahead of the curve? “I never read any magazines or watch TV,” he said, perhaps a little hyperbolically. “Nor do I go to cocktail parties, dinners or anything like that.” He lived outside conventional ideas, he implied, because “I live alone mostly, in the middle of nowhere.”

Around the same time, I noticed that those who part with $2,285 a night to stay in a cliff-top room at the Post Ranch Inn in Big Sur pay partly for the privilege of not having a TV in their rooms; the future of travel, I’m reliably told, lies in “black-hole resorts,” which charge high prices precisely because you can’t get online in their rooms.


Has it really come to this?

In barely one generation we’ve moved from exulting in the time-saving devices that have so expanded our lives to trying to get away from them — often in order to make more time. The more ways we have to connect, the more many of us seem desperate to unplug. Like teenagers, we appear to have gone from knowing nothing about the world to knowing too much all but overnight. ...

See the marketplace in old Algiers

Just remember when a dream appears

I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too ... and blue

Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember till you're home again
You belong to me

I'll be so alone and without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too … and blue

Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
But remember, darling, till you're home again

I’ll Be Seeing You (Jo Stafford, 1944 version)

I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day through

In that small cafe
The park across the way
The children's carousel
The chestnut trees, the wishing well

I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way

I'll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you
I'll be seeing you

Lord, it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
But you're the key to my peace of mind
'Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel
Like a natural woman

When my soul was in the lost-and-found
A mighty good man came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for
And if I make you happy I don't need to do more
'Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel
Like a natural woman




Oh, baby, what you've done to me?
You make me feel so good inside
And I just want to be …
