What is Cancer?
Cancer occurs when, for unknown
reasons, cells divide without control or order. All parts of the
body are made up of cells that normally divide to produce more cells
only when the body needs them. When cancer occurs, cells keep
dividing even when new cells are not needed. The change from normal
to cancerous cells requires several separate, different gene
alterations. Eventually uncontrolled growth from altered genes may
produce a tumor that can be benign (not cancer) or malignant
(cancer). Malignant tumors can invade, damage, and destroy nearby
tissues and spread to other parts of the body. A benign tumor won't
spread to other parts of the body, but local tissue may be damaged
and the growth may need to be removed
What Are Cancer Risk
Factors?
A cancer risk factor may mean you
have an increased chance to develop cancer. It doesn't mean that you
will develop cancer. Some people have a greater than average chance
to get a certain cancer because they have one or more risk factors.
Doctors are still learning the
role of risk factors in different cancers. Some risk factors make it
very likely that a person will develop cancer; others seem to
increase a person's risk only slightly.
Risk factors fall into four broad
groups and can overlap. For some cancers, different types of risk
factors can work together to increase cancer risk.
Lifestyle or behavioral risk
factors.
These are things people do that make it more likely that they will
develop cancer. For example, smoking is strongly linked to lung
cancer and a type of sunlight rays (ultraviolet, or U.V., rays) are
linked to melanoma, a form of skin cancer.
Lifestyle factors can also
reduce cancer risk, such as eating plenty of fruits, vegetables,
and fiber to lower the risk for cancer of the colon and rectum

Hyper-X

The Hyper-X project is being conducted at NASA Langley Research
Center in Hampton VA. On 24 March 1997, NASA announced its selection
of a team led by MicroCraft, Inc., located in in Hampton VA, to
fabricate a series of small, unpiloted experimental vehicles that
will fly up to ten times the speed of sound. The five-year project,
known as Hyper-X, will demonstrate hypersonic propulsion
technologies.
When the Hyper-X flies, it will be the first time a non-rocket
engine has powered a vehicle in flight at hypersonic speeds --
speeds above Mach 5, equivalent to about one mile per second or
approximately 3,600 miles per hour at sea level. A booster rocket
will carry each experimental vehicle to its flight-test speed and
altitude, where it will be launched to fly under its own power.
Program managers plan to demonstrate hydrogen-powered, "air-
breathing" propulsion systems that could ultimately be applied
in vehicle types ranging from hypersonic aircraft to reusable space
launchers.
A rocket carries its own oxygen for combustion. An air- breathing
vehicle, the experimental Hyper-X, will burn oxygen in the air
scooped from the atmosphere. Because of this, air- breathing
hypersonic vehicles should carry more payload and/or offer longer
range than equivalent rocket-powered systems.
Four flights are planned -- one each at Mach 5 and 7 and two at Mach
10. The Mach 7 flight comes first early in fiscal year 1999. The
flight tests will be conducted within the Western Test Range off the
coast of southern California.

FILM |
The Mummy Returns
Universal Pictures
Release Date: May 4, 2001

Deep within a shadowy chamber in the British Museum of London, an
ancient force of terror is about to be reborn.
It is 1933, the Year of the Scorpion. Eight years have passed since
dashing legionnaire Rick O'Connell (Brendan Fraser) and fearless
Egyptologist Evelyn (Rachel Weisz) fought for their lives against a
3000-year-old enemy named Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo).

Rick and Evelyn are married now and have settled in London where
they are raising their son Alex (Freddie Boath). When a chain of
events finds the corpse of Imhotep resurrected in the British
Museum, the mummy Imhotep walks the earth once more, determined to
fulfill his quest for immortality. But another force has also been
set loose in the world ... one born of the darkest rituals of
ancient Egyptian mysticism, and even more powerful than Imhotep.
When these two forces clash, the fate of the world will hang in the
balance, sending the O'Connells on a desperate race to save the
world from unspeakable evil and rescue their son before it is too
late.

Their quest will take them back to Egypt, into the realm of The
Scorpion King (The Rock). This fierce warrior promised his soul to
the god Anubis in exchange for military might long ago. He and his
army have been frozen in time, suspended between life and death and
ready to kill again, through five millenia. The Scorpion King
possesses powers, secrets and strengths beyond even the dreaded
Imhotep. He is angry, deadly and should not be disturbed.
The Mummy Returns unfurls its spine-tingling adventures against
breath-taking landscapes. Hordes of canine-bodied Anubis warriors -
literally from hell - bound across the Sahara in attack formation
while carnivorous pygmy mummies ambush their prey in the jungles of
the Nile. At the fabled desert oasis of Ahm Shere, a mythical
pyramid of gold mesmerizes all who behold it, but according to the
shadowy desert sage Ardeth Bay (Oded Fehr), no one who has ever laid
eyes upon it has returned to tell the tale. Unfortunately, reaching
that pyramid is the only way Rick can save his family. But it's not
as if London is any safer - the city's streets become a living
nightmare when a squadron of skeletal attackers lays seige to a red
double-decker bus -with Evelyn's brother Jonathan (John Hannah)
behind the wheel.

Universal Pictures and Alphaville Productions have reunited the
entire starring cast and creative team of the 1999 blockbuster The
Mummy to create the adrenaline-charged adventures of The Mummy
Returns. The returning stars include Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz,
John Hannah, Arnold Vosloo, Oded Fehr and Patricia Velasquez.
Joining The Mummy veterans are WWF superstar The Rock as The
Scorpion King, screen newcomer Freddie Boath as the O'Connells' son
Alex, Adewale as Lock- Nah, Alun Armstrong as the Curator and Shaun
Parkes as Izzy, a pilot and former compatriot of Rick's who is
reluctantly drawn into the action.

Stephen Sommers is back as both writer and director, sweeping his
vision across Egypt, England and several millennia with The Mummy
Returns. Also returning are the first film's producers, James Jacks
and Sean Daniel, as well as director of photography Adrian Biddle,
production designer Allan Cameron, costume designer John Bloomfield,
and editor and executive producer Bob Ducsay. The effects wizards at
Industrial Light & Magic, once again led by Academy-Award winner
John Berton, are also back in full force for The Mummy Returns.
