Ask any youth what the high point of the Sunday service is and I'm quite certain few of them would say it was the sermon. It's not surprising. Youth today are bombarded with hundreds of thousands of messages a day; messages from the TV, movies, radio, internet, advertising, Facebook, Twitter, their friends, parents, to name just a few.

Research in mice, led by Ivan Stamenkovic, at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, has now uncovered a possible reason for this. Stamenkovic and colleagues found that the increased metastasis from tumors of several different ...
