The female police officer in the montreal shooting appears to have panicked and shot a fleeing civillian

You can see it clearly in this video here

Just awful beyond belief

Male police officer has been pronounced dead
Shooter is also dead
Female police officer is critical

The craziest thing about what Carolina is doing is that they're not even close to the peak of their window. They have four first-round picks over the next three seasons. A deep prospect pool. Almost every critical player locked up long term on a fair or below-market deal.

It's crazy Tulsky wasn't even a finalist for GM of the year.

Canes are a contender with cap space, good prospects, extra 1st round picks and a bunch of young guys signed to great contracts.

Cancer patients who happened to get a regular COVID shot kept outliving the ones who didn't. The lung cancer patients who got it lived about 37 months. The ones who skipped it lived 21. A flu shot did nothing, only the COVID kind, and nobody planned it.

Doctors at MD Anderson, one of the top cancer hospitals in the US, dug through more than a thousand patient records. Everyone in the group had advanced cancer and was on the same kind of treatment, called immunotherapy, which turns your own immune system loose on the tumor. The only difference was whether they'd also gotten a Pfizer or Moderna shot within about three months of starting. The ones who had lived far longer. Three years in, 56 out of 100 vaccinated lung cancer patients were still alive, against 31 out of 100 who weren't.

The shot doesn't teach your body what the tumor looks like. It just trips an alarm. Your immune system sends cells into a tumor, and a lot of them go quiet and stop fighting. The mRNA in the vaccine, the same stuff in the COVID jab, acts like a fire alarm. It wakes those cells up, pulls them back to the lymph nodes where the immune system regroups, and sends them out hunting. The cancer gets caught in the sweep.

That accident is the seed of what people now call a universal cancer vaccine. The goal is one shot that works against any cancer, precisely because it isn't aimed at a specific one. It wakes the body up and lets the body do the rest.

A University of Florida team led by Dr. Elias Sayour has been after this for more than eight years. In 2018 they found that even random genetic instructions, nothing to do with any tumor, could stir the immune system in mice. In 2024 they ran their first human test, a custom-built version, on four patients with one of the deadliest brain cancers, and watched it switch the immune system on within days. Last year they built a one-size-fits-all version that erased tumors completely in some mice with skin, bone, and brain cancer.

It's early, and a little caution is fair. The tumor-erasing results are still in mice. The human survival numbers come from digging through old records, not a clean head-to-head trial. That trial is being set up now.

The detail that stuck with the researchers: the people who gained the most were the ones whose cancer the immune system usually walks right past. In that group, a plain COVID shot lined up with being nearly five times as likely to be alive three years later.

Trump's war on Iran didn't change the price of making gasoline in Canada one iota--and we produce far more than we use. So why are Canadians paying 60c more per litre?? It doesn't have to be that way. I discuss with @notrexmurphy for @CBCDay6: https://t.co/AnSQQfaeSi. #canlab /2

Absurd and inhuman violence is spreading ferociously through the sacred places of the Christian East, profaned by the blasphemy of war and the brutality of business, with no regard for people’s lives, which are considered at most collateral damage of self-interest. But no gain can be worth the life of the weakest, children, or families. No cause can justify the shedding of innocent blood.

BREAKING: Japan Approves World’s First iPSC Stem Cell Therapy for Parkinson’s Disease.

This is not a drill. This is history. Japan’s Health Ministry has officially approved two iPS cell therapies: Amchepry for Parkinson’s and ReHeart for severe heart failure. Based on Nobel Prize-winning research, these treatments use reprogrammed stem cells to regenerate damaged dopamine neurons in the brain. Seven patients were treated. Four showed significant improvement. No major side effects. Available to patients by summer 2026. 10 million people worldwide have Parkinson’s. The cure is no longer theoretical.
