Simon Cowell And Will.i.am Are Teaming Up To Create An X Factor To Find The Next Mark Zuckerberg

Simon Cowell is on the hunt for the next Mark Zuckerberg or Bill Gates. According to The Sun, the former American Idol and current X Factor judge is teaming up with Black Eyed Peas rapper Will.i.am to find the next hot tech entrepreneur. Details are sparse on when the show will debut and the exact format, but if the tech-focused show is anything like X Factor, it sounds like would-be entrepreneurs will be pitching their ideas to an all-star panel of judges. It also appears that the show will be based in the UK.

Saying the party has ?zero tolerance? for voter fraud, the GOP also filed complaints against the company with the Florida Secretary of State?s office. The company, run by long-time GOP operative Nathan Sproul, says a single employee was responsible for the forged signatures, though the problem, by Friday, had spread to 10 counties.

"This is an issue we take extremely seriously," RNC spokesman Sean Spicer told CBS News. "When allegations were brought to our attention we severed all ties to the firm."

While reasonable, those explanations could have trouble finding traction among the US electorate, which has watched battles erupt in mostly swing states from Florida to Ohio over control of voter rolls, and heated debates about potential disenfranchisement of key Democratic constituencies, poorer, minority, and elderly voters.

Why do Election 2012 swing states matter? 5 resources to explain.

The allegations are particularly poignant in Florida, which decided the presidential race in 2000 after a massive recount was halted by the US Supreme Court in a way that gave the election to the GOP, and where the current Republican state administration has fought with the US Department of Justice over an effort to weed out illegal immigrants from the state?s voter rolls.

Even more to the point of third-party voter registration contractors, the League of Women Voters sued Florida earlier this month after it instituted a new 48-hour deadline for turning in registration forms. The state relented, reinstating a 10-day deadline.

What?s more, the fraudulent registration findings have echoes of the 2008 controversies over the now-disbanded ACORN community activism group, which was accused by Republicans in 2008 of falsifying forms.

Brad Friedman, who runs the electoral watchdog Brad Blog, helped break the story, tying it to other emerging GOP registration controversies in California and Colorado. Other states where Sproul?s firm had been hired to gather registrations have not reported any problems.

?A massive GOP voter registration scheme, which appears to involve the upper-echelons of the national party, [has begun] to emerge,? Mr. Friedman writes.

Communication Items You'll Want Before TSHTF ? Part 2

Radio Receivers

We own a used Grundig Yacht Boy 400 and recommend it highly. These were made in the 1990s, but are still ?state-of-the-art?. The CCI radio company sells a clone of this model today. Good used Grundigs can be found on ebay in the $50 to $100 range. The YB400 has some great features:

• AM/FM and Shortwave bands
• SSB receiver
• Tuning Scan
• 40 Channel Memory
• Light
• Alarm
• Sleep Timer
• Two Time Zones

We consider it the best AM portable receiver made. At night we can listen Coast to Coast A.M. on stations from Los Angeles CA, San Antonino TX, Omaha NE, or Denver CO and even Detroit MI and Chicago IL at times, all sounding clear from here in New Mexico.

Our Yacht Boy 400 receives from 55 Kilohertz through 30 Megahertz, covering the entire HF (high frequency) band. In a time of crisis, shortwave may be the only radio signal out there. It may come in real handy when we can?t depend on the Internet to know what is going on.

WWV is the international time standard hack that can be found on the following shortwave frequencies:

• 2500 khz
• 5000 khz
• 10000 khz
• 15000 khz
• 20000 khz

WWV also allows you to check space weather as well as satellite environment (interference). We can use these frequencies to gauge the effect of solar activities on our radio communications. WWV has a very strong signal. For most it will be received as a strong S 8 to 10 signal strength. But in the event of adverse solar activities even these stations can become covered up with static and noise. So if you are trying to receive a certain station and are having difficulties, check WWV to see if their signal is coming though alright, or if it is covered up with static. In that case, the sun is most likely the cause of your problems or (an EMP blast).

?

Communications Radios

?Family Radio Service? (FRS) and ?Business Radio Service? (BRS) are the frequencies for the common walkie-talkies you see. They often say that they have an 8 mile range, however, most of these radios have a hard time transmitting further than 2 miles. Not everyone lives in a laboratory environment. The 8 mile range estimates take into account ?line of sight? factors only. If you can see the other party that you are trying to communicate with, you can talk to them. We don?t live in a flat world without a horizon and without trees, buildings, mountains, etc. Because of this, these radios are over rated and can only be used for close-up communications (typically less than 3 miles at best).

They certainly can be useful if your community uses them in a small area (40 acres or less).

The Business Radio Service does include base radios, which have more power than family radios. You can add an external antenna on a mast high above the ground to stretch their effectivity (up to 10 miles).

?

Scanners

The I-Com IC-R5 pocket scanner is a handy radio to own. These are available in US models and overseas models. The FCC gave the I-COM company a license to sell this receiver in the U.S. ONLY IF CERTAIN FREQUENCIES WERE BLOCKED OUT!

With this in mind the best place to buy one is on Ebay. There are sellers on ebay from other countries such as Japan who sell UNBLOCKED IC-R5?s and IC-R7?s. These ebay listings will be explicit. It will say it is a Japanese model and does not have any blocked frequencies. The IC-R5 can scan from 30 kilocycles to 1400 megahertz (1.4 Gigahertz). Within these frequencies are the following things you may find interesting to listen to.

For entertainment purposes only, here are some of the stations you can listen to that are hard to find frequencies:

To find local frequencies, check out http://www.radioreference.com/

Emergency Action Messages are the encoded radio traffic between NORAD and SAC with the nuclear bomber fleet, like in the movie?Fail Safe.

With Fusion Centers operating, the radio traffic is mostly digitized and scrambled. But you will notice that when they are ?working together? the scanner?s frequencies will all seem to light up at the same time. By this I mean you?ll notice you local sheriff/state police/ local cops/ FEMA/DHS/Border Patrol/FBI, etc., all going encrypted and all talking at the same time.

The Fusion Centers work with the local authorities, so when you hear this it usually means that there is a VIPER team closing down some road to perform unwarranted stops and searches under the guise of (take your pick) sobriety check points, looking for seatbelt terrorists, looking for insurance terrorists, etc.

If the local VIPERS are not encrypted, you will hear things like the officer waiting for a ?29 check?. This means they are checking to see if there are any outstanding warrants for that driver. When you hear this you will also hear things like ?we?re set up at mile maker __?. If you don?t want to have to claim your right under the 4^th?amendment with these VIPER TERRORISTS, then stay away.

Suffice to say that if you hear a lot of cross agency traffic, it?s nearly a sure bet that a VIPER team is out making sure that the country is safe for their brand of freedom.

Creating a Radio Round Robin: With the right equipment a group of people could create a a ?radio round robin?. this is when a group of people has a specific place on the radio to meet on a regular basis. For example, let?s say there are 6 people in your round robin and you all decide to meet on Saturday mornings on CB channel 40, 27.405 Mhtz, LSB (lower side band) (or CW for RTTY ? look for an upcoming article on that!) and exchange news with each other. It?s not a question of ?IF? TPTB will shut the internet down it?s ?WHEN?? The purpose of these articles it to create awareness in becoming independent of the internet and become your own beacon of news by maintaining contact through the coming difficulties. Having a group of people from diverse places is also important. Then one of the round robin group can relay a message from one station who can?t be heard to a station that can? maintain contact with both stations.

Coming up in Part 3???More on RTTY,? Round Robins and Slow-Scan TV.

The Five Best Science Fiction EBooks Series - Online Business ...

By Janell Bowers

Science fiction eBooks add technologies imagined in the books to the way they are read. With so many series written by the great authors shortlisting to best five meant some harsh cuts where needed. Most of the work was published around the middle of the 20th Century and greatly influenced progress in technology.

No SF collection is complete without something from Arthur C Clarke. 2001: A Space Odyssey is most famous for Stanley Kubrick's adaption however the series of four books adds a lot most detail and depth that was never transposed to the big screen. The vision of history being defined by alien obelisks is explored in muck greater depth and over a longer period of time.

Terry Pratchett's Discworld is another great series. Going Postal is probably the easiest to read book to ease into the series albeit the 33rd in the huge series. It's focused around the likable rogue character Moist von Lipwig who is saved from the death penalty if he can revive the postal service despite aggressive opposition from the rival clacks telegraph system. The story explores von Lipwig's character development from conman to hero and is very difficult to put down.

John Christopher's Tripod trilogy with a later prequel are easy reading books aimed at younger readers. It starts with The White Mountain where a 13yo boy attempts to escape the mind controlling cap that is fitted on his 14th birthday and attempts to journey to the French white mountains where there is a rebel group. When connected to the caps the teenagers and adults are connected to 'masters' who operate giant tripods and control the hive mind.

No science fiction collection is complete without a book from Isaac Asimov. Asimov was one of the most prolific author of all time and one book that really stands out from the crowd is the Caves of Steel. It envisions a future climate destroyed Earth where everyone lives in underground cities.

It was originally written after a challenge to write a mystery book set in the future. The underground city concept forms the basis of Asimov's three famous series, the robot, empire, and foundation novels and their spin offs. The laws of robotics first mentioned in his early short stories is also visited and expanded.

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy is a hugely popular contemporary classic SF comedy publish as a seven part trilogy. Based in a universe where the laws of science are irreverently dismissed and focused around the first imagined ebook. The book and aspects of the book have been a major influence in popular culture and development of technology. Notable influences include online encyclopedias, translation websites and applications, and touch pad devices.

Ray Bradbury is famous for producing individual stories rather than series. Stephen King and JRR Tolkien's works are probably better placed in other lists. The harshest cut was probably Frank Herbert's Dune. There are so many other science fiction eBooks that didn't make the list but must be mentioned. It's certainly only a starting point, happy reading.

German Jewish leader deters racist attack with gun

BERLIN?? A leading member of Germany's Jewish community had to point to a gun he was carrying to ward off a young man shouting anti-Semitic abuse, the latest in a string of racist incidents in Berlin that has shocked Jews and city authorities.

The Central Council of Jews in Germany said its general secretary, Michael Kramer, had endured a barrage of threatening insults from the man after leaving a Berlin synagogue with his two daughters on Wednesday.

"The man threatened us and made clear he would have lashed out if the children had not been there," the council quoted Kramer, 44, as saying on its website.

Kramer then pointed to a gun he is allowed to carry for his personal protection to deter the man from attacking him.

A retired teacher's courageous crusade: Tackling neo-Nazi hate

Germany's top-selling Bild newspaper carried a photograph of the young man that Kramer himself had taken at the time with his mobile phone. The man, with a partially shaven head, has an arm raised towards the phone as though about to push Kramer.

Bild quoted the man as having said to Kramer: "What are you doing here? Go back to where you came from."

Both Kramer and his adversary are pressing charges against each other, German media said.

Last month, one of the first rabbis ordained in Germany since the Holocaust, Daniel Alter, was beaten up on a Berlin street in front of his young daughter by four attackers, prompting a seminary to advise its students to avoid wearing skullcaps in public.

Germany's official Jewish population, now at around 120,000, has grown more than 10-fold in the last 20 years, thanks largely to an influx of Jews from the former Soviet Union, but anti-Semitic attacks are commonplace and policemen guard synagogues around the clock.

Thai sailors go "Gangnam Style" on YouTube video

BANGKOK (AP) ? The "Gangnam Style" craze has reached Thailand's navy, which is among the latest to mimic the globally popular dance video.

In a video posted to YouTube, a few dozen smiling sailors from the Third Naval Area Command perform the rodeo-style dance and other hip-shaking moves at their base on the popular tourist island of Phuket.

Lt. Cmdr. Patiroop Khemtis said Friday officers took three days to film and edit the video, instructing participants to mimic the moves in the original video by South Korean singer PSY. It was shown at the base's annual party Wednesday and posted to YouTube the next day.

The video shows white-uniformed sailors in sunglasses galloping through their offices and officers in scuba gear shimmying up the beach.

The original "Gangnam Style" video had close to 300 million YouTube views as of Friday.

Weirdwarp - 5 Innovations of the Space Program We Take for Granted

By Philip J Reed on behalf of Exede, a nationwide satellite Internet provider

NASA is known for landing people on the moon and helping an entire generation dream of new horizons. However, many people don?t realize how the space program has impacted nearly every facet of our society. Over the years, NASA?s technological advances have been quietly integrated into everyday life, fundamentally changing how people communicate, eat, sleep and travel.

Sneaker Insoles

Sneakers are so comfortable to wear because NASA required a durable and shock-absorbing material to protect astronauts during lift-off and reentry, when they could experience forces up to 7.19 g.

While the human body always deals with 1 g on the ground, sneaker insoles help support feet by cushioning against blows and providing arch support. Insoles also return to their original shape after the sneakers are taken off, so they can be used over and over without becoming permanently compressed.

Fires are bad enough here on Earth, but they pose an even deadlier threat in space since astronauts have no avenue of escape. In the event of a fire, every second counts.

First using a radioactive isotope, smoke detectors today determine if smoke is present by shining a tiny beam of light inside the detector?s case. Smoke will block that beam of light, and the detector sounds a loud alarm. The original detectors aboard space vessels included the ability to detect other toxic gases.

Water Filters

Every single water filter found in pitchers and refrigerators uses technology developed by NASA to deliver clean drinking water to astronauts during lengthy space missions. The average human being requires about four pounds of water each day, and every single pound matters when it costs thousands of dollars per pound to transport materials into space.

Instead of shipping dozens or hundreds of gallons of water, NASA developed the modern water filter, combining charcoal with silver ions to cleanse water of bacteria and other contaminants. The technology was so astounding at the time that it?s still used in its original form today.

Satellite Radio, TV and Internet

It should come as no surprise that modern satellite technology owes its entire existence to NASA. The agency developed the first American satellite designs and the rockets that would transport them into orbit.

Satellite Internet

?

NASA also needed a way to communicate with astronauts who were hundreds of thousands of miles away, and that same technology is used today to communicate with the rovers on Mars and even Voyager-1, an unmanned vessel on the verge of leaving the solar system.

Satellite communications are used today for television and radio services such as DirecTV and Sirius XM. Satellite Internet is not as widely used, but it still offers broadband speeds to millions of customers who cannot connect to cable, DSL or fiber-optic networks.

Road Grooving

Anyone who has driven while tired has probably felt the rumble of grooving on the side of the road. NASA originally developed road grooving for use on runways to help pilots steer aircraft on wet surfaces.

Road Grooving

After pilots applauded the effort, pavement grooving was adapted for automobile roads. In many ways, road grooving is as important a safety development as speed limits and guardrails. Current NASA estimates reveal that road grooving prevents nearly 85 percent of all road accidents.

As evidenced by the last example, NASA is responsible for more than just high-tech advances in society. The agency also comes up with simple, low-tech ideas to improve safety and convenience, and it is because of these advances that continued funding of the space program is in our collective best interest.

Middle East telcos mull alliance in Facebook fight

DUBAI (Reuters) - Middle East telecommunications firms are discussing the idea of creating a pan-Arab online platform that would earn them more revenue from their networks by challenging Facebook and other Internet behemoths of the West.

The ambitious project faces technical and financial obstacles and may never be implemented on a large scale. But proponents argue the common language and culture shared by the world's more than 350 million Arabic speakers, plus the webs of affiliated companies which Gulf operators own across the Middle East and North Africa, could make the project viable.

"A single operator, even one in multiple geographies and with tens of millions of subscribers, can't create this platform on its own," said Osman Sultan, chief executive of du, the second biggest operator in the United Arab Emirates.

"It would be restricted to the customers of this operator and wouldn't have sufficient scale to succeed. But a unified platform spanning the Arab world would," he told Reuters.

Sultan said he had proposed the idea to all major operators in the Arab world over the past 12 months.

Behind the proposal is a frustration shared by telecommunications firms globally: as they spend heavily to build networks, data traffic on the networks is increasing rapidly, but the firms essentially only make money from charging for access to their networks - a low-margin business.

The lion's share of new revenue from traffic is being taken by so-called "over-the-top" (OTT) Internet companies such as Facebook, Google, Apple and Twitter. The telecommunications firms have unsuccessfully pressed them for bigger contributions to the cost of building the networks.

"OTT players...we can't share their gain and they won't share our pain," said Sultan. "Network traffic doubles every eight to nine months, but revenue is heading to a plateau, so we need to claim part of the new revenues alongside OTT players."

VERY DIFFICULT

The proposed Arab online platform would feature social media and online shopping for goods and services, including digital content such as music, video and applications, Sultan said.

He declined to give details, saying parts of the talks were confidential, and most other Arab telecommunications operators contacted by Reuters declined to comment or did not respond to requests for comment

But Sheikh Mohamed Al Khalifa, chief executive of Bahrain Telecommunications Co, welcomed the idea.

"Telcos are beginning to look to the deployment of OTT services such as streamed TV and video-on-demand," he said. "Such diversification (into) adjacent industries has become necessary. There are gains to be made by collaborating within our industry in the Middle East."

Sceptics point to the fact that efforts by telecommunications firms elsewhere in the world to set up online ventures have often failed when faced with the technical savvy and marketing muscle of the established Internet giants.

"Fundamentally, it's very difficult to complete against OTT players - operators lack the agility and the core competencies as well as the brand appeal," said Guillermo Escofet, a senior analyst at Informa Telecom and Media in London.

"They're used to running networks, not being media companies. Also, operators instinctively try to differentiate themselves from each other - it's against their DNA to work together."

London-listed Vodafone is one of a number of operators that have had difficulty creating Internet services. The Vodafone 360 service, based on customers' phone address books, was launched in Europe in 2009, letting customers import contacts from social networks and use an online application store. In 2011, Vodafone said it was winding down the service.

"Operators have failed miserably every time they have tried to move up the value chain, except for in certain business-to-business services," said Pedro Oliveira, a partner at global management consultants Oliver Wyman. "Some have tried to move into content and applications, but the war is lost already."

The big Western Internet firms are already popular around the Middle East. Facebook, which offers an Arabic interface, had 45.2 million users in the Arab world as of June 30, up more than 50 percent from a year earlier, according to the Arab Social Media Report, produced by the Dubai School of Government.

Despite pockets of innovation in the region, such as video game industries in Saudi Arabia and Jordan, and ventures developing applications for smart phones in Egypt, the Middle East has so far not come close to developing online products to rival the top Western Internet companies.

FEASIBLE

However, proponents of the telecommunications firms' online plan argue it is more feasible in the Arab world than elsewhere.

Only about 1 percent of the world's websites are in Arabic, according to a survey by analysts W3techs. Internet penetration lags regions such as Europe, North America and east Asia, with only about 86 million of the estimated 360 million native Arabic speakers online at end-2011, Miniwatts Marketing Group said.

Such figures may mean Western Internet firms are not yet so entrenched in the Middle East that they cannot be challenged. The new online platform would satisfy hunger among the region's young population for more Arabic-language content, said Sultan.

Another factor is the impressive geographical reach of Gulf telecommunications firms; if a few of them can agree on introducing the online platform, they may be able to roll it out quickly across more than a dozen countries.

Combined, Qatar Telecom, Saudi Telecom, Kuwait's Zain and the UAE's Etisalat cover 16 of the 22 Arab League countries. The other six countries are the smallest four in economic terms - Mauritania, Somalia, Djibouti and Comoros - plus war-ravaged Libya and Syria.

The Arab telecommunications operators' extensive distribution networks and point-of-sale advertising could help them win customers from OTT players.

Most Middle Eastern mobile phone subscribers are on pre-paid contracts typically topped up with scratch cards. These are sold everywhere from petrol stations to local stores, so vouchers for the online platform might easily be rolled out alongside them.

"The reach we have to consumers and the knowledge we have of consumer behavior is vast," Sultan said.

Thomas Kuruvilla, managing director of consultants Arthur D. Little Middle East, said an alliance of regional telecommunications firms could form a community of social networks that was attractive to local populations.

If the firms can cooperate on content and social networks, "it will surely attract more niche advertisers and hence higher revenue potential," he said.

However, even if the region's biggest telecommunications firms succeed with the online platform, it will be hard for smaller operators to make much money from it, said Oliveira.

This could consign smaller firms to serving as nothing more than low-margin pipes for the data services of the big ones.

In the Gulf, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Kuwait have multiple telecommunications firms providing Internet access, and some of them may be the most vulnerable to becoming "dumb pipes". Such companies might cut access fees to their networks in an effort to win market share, Oliveira said.

"If one operator takes this approach, then others in the same market may be forced to follow as they lose revenue and market share and struggle to keep on investing in their network," he said. "It's a race to the bottom."

This really is clear but the squat is so advantageous. It may considerably increase your primary as well as your upper body strength.

When making your workout plot, concentrate on strength and energy, not merely muscles. Increasing muscles doesn?t get you to healthier plus it doesn?t get you to more pleasing. Better exercise originates from a well-circular exercise program that may boost your practical strength, raise the heartbeat on a regular basis, and improve your lung ability.

A light exercise on the day after a hefty you might increase all round exercise. Above-getting some exercise is terrible health and fitness exercise, but a really small, extremely mild schedule using a more challenging workouts are valuable. It improves bloodstream and o2 movement on the muscles which are recovering from the before challenging work out. This rates the recovery process and improves overall results.

Place your training session in your everyday timetable, and stick to it. Many people state that they do not possess enough time to exercise, but, if you combine it with your schedule and try it out, you could find which you still attained everything you needed to complete. Drop the reason, and have to be effective!

Your level of fitness depends on how intensely you keep track of your food ingestion, and your exercise routine. You can find things you can do to aid the procedure together, therefore we have showcased some of the in this post. When you establish your mind in your specific goal and follow these tips, you will notice outcomes straight away.

Trampolines no place for kids, docs warn

Trampolines are too dangerous for children to use, the American Academy of Pediatrics warned Monday. There were nearly 100,000 trampoline injuries in 2009 -- and safety nets don't offer much protection, doctors say.

Exposing cancer's lethal couriers

ScienceDaily (Sep. 24, 2012) ? Malignant cells that leave a primary tumor, travel the bloodstream and grow out of control in new locations cause the vast majority of cancer deaths. New nanotechnology developed at Case Western Reserve University detects these metastases in mouse models of breast cancer far earlier than current methods, a step toward earlier, life-saving diagnosis and treatment.

A team of scientists, engineers and students across five disciplines built nanochains that home in on metastases before they've grown into new tissues, and, through magnetic resonance imaging, detect their locations.

Images of the precise location and extent of metastases could be used to guide surgery or ablation, or the same technology used to find the cancer could be used to deliver cancer-killing drugs directly to the cells before a tumor forms, the researchers suggest.

The work is described in this week's online issue of the American Chemical Society journal ACS Nano.

"Micrometastases can't be seen with the naked eye, but you have to catch them at this stage -- see the exact spots they're located and see them all," said Efstathios Karathanasis, assistant professor of biomedical engineering and radiology, and senior author. "Even if you miss only one, you prolong survival, but one metastasis can still kill."

Karathanasis worked with research associate Pubudu M. Peiris, graduate student Randall Toy; undergraduate students Elizabeth Doolittle, Jenna Pansky, Aaron Abramowski, Morgan Tam, Peter Vicente, Emily Tran, Elliott Hayden and Andrew Camann; medical student Zachary Berman, senior research associate Bernadette O. Erokwu, biomedical engineering professor David Wilson, chemical engineering associate professor Harihara Baskaran; and, from the Case Western Reserve School of Medicine, radiology assistant professor Chris A. Flask and pharmacology associate professor and department vice chair Ruth A. Keri.

Tumor detection technologies fail to uncover cancer cells that have taken hold in new locations because young metastases don't behave the same as established tumors.

After a breast cancer cell enters the bloodstream, it most often stops in the liver, spleen or lungs and begins overexpressing surface molecules called integrins. Integrins act as a glue between the cancer cell and the lining of a blood vessel that feeds the organ.

"We target integrins," Karathanasis said. "Normal blood vessel walls don't present integrins towards the blood site unless cancer cells attach there."

To home in on the cancer marker, the researchers first needed to build a nano device that would drift out of the central flow of the blood stream and to the blood vessel walls. The most common shape of nanoparticles is a sphere, but a sphere tends to go with the flow.

Karathanasis' team tailored nanoparticles to connect one to another much like a stack of Legos. Due to its size and shape, the oblong chain tumbles out of the main current and skirts along vessel walls.

The exterior of the chain has multiple sites designed to bind with integrins. Once one site latches on, others grab hold. Compared to nanospheres, the chains' attachment rate in flow tests was nearly 10-fold higher.

To enable a doctor to see where a relative few cancer cells sit in a sea of healthy cells, the scientists incorporated fluorescent markers and, to make the nanochains more visible in magnetic resonance imaging, four links made of iron oxide.

Next, the team tested the chains in a mouse model of an aggressive form of breast cancer that metastasizes to sites and organs much the same way it does in humans.

From established research, they knew metastases would be present five weeks into the modeling. They injected nanochains into the bloodstream and, within an hour, two imaging techniques -- fluorescence molecular tomography and MRI's -- showed where traveling cancer cells had established footholds, primarily in the liver, lungs and spleen.

The metastases located using the nanochains ranged from .2 to 2 millimeters across.

Later imaging at high magnification showed that these metastatic cancer cells were found mostly in the blood vessel walls, before they'd had time to grow into organ tissue.

"Once metastatic cells move into the tissue, develop their own microenvironment, and grow into a 1-centimeter lesion, it typically indicates a late stage of metastatic disease which has an unfavorable outcome," Karathanasis said.

According to the American Cancer Society, the 5-year survival rate of breast cancer patients sharply decreases from 98 percent in cases that catch the disease when it has produced only a localized primary lesion to 23 percent in cases in which distant large metastases have grown.

Now that they've proved the concept works, the team is bringing clinical radiologists on board led by Vikas Gulani, assistant professor of radiology. Their job is to help with a new study, calculating how much new cancer the technology finds and misses.
