WOBURN, MA, September 30, 2010 (Press-News.org) Care to hang out with the dirtiest, rottenest, and most worm-ridden (sometimes quite literally) filth known to mankind? No, this is not an invite to hang out on the set of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. IWalked Audio Tours has introduced a self-guided audio tour of the city of Boston whereby listeners can now visit some of the most noted crime and haunt sites within the city. While crimes and haunted tours have long been popular (especially during the upcoming Halloween season), listeners now have the opportunity to download and experience the tour around their own busy schedules.
The crimes and haunts tour highlights both scenes of famous crimes and whereby the dead have been said to never rest. The tour begins by showing listeners where the former Brinks Security headquarters was robbed of $2.7MM in the 1950s and proceeds to the home of the Boston Italian mafia in the North End which FBI raided in 1981. Further along the tour the ghostly histories of beheaded corpses within King's Chapel Burying Ground and the infamous retired room of Omni Parker Hotel are explored. At each stop, listeners are provided with a detailed history and obscure facts (such as prisoners in the former Charles Street Jail nearly rioting over receiving lobster as a meal too often). There are 18 stops in all which further include exploring the histories of: Sacco and Vanzetti, Charles Ponzi, the Boston Massacre, hangings within the Boston Common, the Blond Witch of Lime Street, the site of the George Parkman murder, and the Boston Strangler.
The tour clocks in around 2 hours and does come with a free downloadable map as a guide along the 2.5 mile route. The tour itself is a live recording of IWalked founder, Scott Woznicki, playing the role of tour guide pointing out historical and architectural wonders of the city. You can actually hear the birds and cars drive by as if your guide is walking alongside you.
Audio tours have become increasingly popular amongst travelers in recent years as a budget travel option. While long popular as an alternative for indoor venues, such as museums, the walls have begun to break down on alternatives to exploring cities outside of these walls. IWalked sells their tours via their website at www.iwalkedaudiotours.com for $7 each. Per research of other guided tours within the city of Boston, this was approximately 1/3 the cost. Now that's just scary.

Triple-negative breast cancers may have unique therapeutic target
2010-09-29
DENVER — Patients with triple-negative breast cancer, one of the hardest subtypes to treat, may have a unique biomarker that would enable them to receive more targeted therapy, according to data presented at the Fourth AACR International Conference on Molecular Diagnostics in Cancer Therapeutic Development.
Triple-negative breast cancers are breast cancers that have tested negative for estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors and HER2. Because of this biology, these cancers do not respond to endocrine therapies or trastuzumab.
"In other subsets of breast cancer, ...
Circulating tumor cells can provide 'real-time' information on patient's current disease state
2010-09-29
DENVER — Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) may be a promising alternative, noninvasive source of tumor materials for biomarker assessment, according to data presented at the Fourth AACR International Conference on Molecular Diagnostics in Cancer Therapeutic Development.
"The basic idea is that CTCs can provide real-time information about a patient's current disease state, acting as a 'liquid biopsy,'" said Siminder Kaur Atwal, Ph.D., senior research associate at Genentech. "They are much less invasive than tumor biopsies because they can be detected from a blood draw and ...
Biomarker panel identifies prostate cancer with 90 percent accuracy
2010-09-29
DENVER — Researchers in England say they have discovered a set of biomarkers that can distinguish prostate cancer from benign prostate disease and healthy tissue with 90 percent accuracy. This preliminary data, if validated in larger ongoing studies, could be developed into a serum protein test that reduces the number of unnecessary biopsies and identifies men who need treatment before symptoms begin.
The researchers, from Oxford Gene Technology (OGT) and its subsidiary, Sense Proteomic, Ltd., presented their findings at the Fourth AACR International Conference on Molecular ...
New biomarkers discovered for pancreatic cancer and mesothelioma
2010-09-29
DENVER — Using a novel aptamer-based proteomics array technology, researchers and collaborators have identified biomarkers and protein signatures that are hallmarks of cancer at an early stage for two of the most aggressive and deadly forms of cancer — pancreatic and mesothelioma.
This technology would enable better clinical diagnosis at an earlier stage and may provide insight into new therapeutic targets, said Rachel Ostroff, Ph.D., clinical research director of Somalogic Inc.
"Currently these cancers are detected at an advanced stage, where the possibility of cure ...
African-Americans equally likely to benefit from erlotinib and other targeted lung cancer therapy
2010-09-29
DENVER — African-American patients with non-small cell lung cancer are just as likely to display an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation in tumors as Caucasians, which suggests they are as likely to benefit from targeted therapies such as erlotinib.
"This study has immediate implications for patient management. Patients with EGFR mutations have a much better prognosis and respond better to erlotinib than those who do not," said Ramsi Haddad, Ph.D., director of the Laboratory of Translational Oncogenomics at the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute, and assistant ...
