LATimes marks 130 years of left coast publishing

Serving nearly 20 million people in the Los Angeles metro area, rather some 1.2 million sunday subscribers, and having more than 192 thousand followers on TWITTER, the Los Angeles Times is the major print journalism enterprise for the region that is the second largest in the USA. Looking at the first-day edition image (below), and comparing that to the content that I can read today on my iPod or any electronic device, I am impressed that news reporting and journalism may be the one of the most adaptable human endeavors ever undertaken. || http://bit.ly/vCfKWh

Does God Twitter?

Obviously a ridiculous question, but I am not the first to ask it or to Google it. Social networks are abuzz everyday with messages, comments, and commentary by those who have a spiritual or religious mission.

Here are some links to sites that I store in my bookmarks and my iPod. And my Voyager Vision blog (link below) has numerous references beyond the tweets in this post, as well as periodic deposits of the social current see about faith, hope, and charity.

Blagojevich fall from grace is now official

Blagojevich was arrested on federal corruption charges including conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and solicitation of bribery December 9, 2008. As a result, on January 9, 2009, the Illinois House of Representatives voted to impeach Blagojevich by a 114–1 vote for corruption and misconduct in office, the first time such an action has been taken against a governor of Illinois, making him the second state official in Illinois history to be impeached.

The Illinois State Senate unanimously found him guilty of the charges of impeachment, and he was removed from office on January 29, 2009. In a separate, also unanimous vote, Blagojevich was banned for life from holding public office in the State of Illinois. On August 17, 2010 Blagojevich was found guilty of lying to the FBI; on June 27, 2011, Blagojevich was found guilty on 17 of 20 counts presented during his retrial.

On Thursday, September 29, 2011, it was announced that in mid-August, administrators for the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission asked the Illinois Supreme Court to suspend the former attorney’s law license, in a likely prelude to the further disgrace of disbarment. || http://bit.ly/umkhrj || http://bit.ly/tCmOzl

T cell breakthrough research on a cure for lymphoma

Most encouraging for lymphoma survivors like me is this report about groundbreaking research to find a permanent cure for lymphoma, of which there are some 40 types. Like many other survivors, I have had a two-time bout with the disease and have to constantly be monitored and CT scanned to confirm lasting remission, even though two years have passed since the last round with the cancer.

Having done the allogeneic (unrelated donor) stem cell transplant treatment and Tomotherapy (radiation) treatments in the past five years, it is comforting to know that any future need for treatment has a strong chance to offer a permanent cure. || http://bit.ly/sI5IzG
