“In life you don’t really get to chose your family, your siblings – you get what you’re given. I got lucky cause I got two great sisters and two great brothers, but I got extra lucky because around 1982, I got the chance to choose two other brothers: Mike Diamond and Adam Yauch. And together our families have grown. I’d like to thank the New York Parks Department and the people of Brooklyn for honoring my friend and brother, and recognizing how cool it is to have an Adam Yauch park for other crazy New York kids.” - Ad-Rock
Adam Yauch’s loved ones helped rename a Brooklyn park in his honor today. Read about the ceremony and Adam “Ad-Rock” Horovitz’s full tribute to his late friend and bandmate.

Bad Breath Test
Gastric cancer gives off a volatile combination of organic compounds which can be detected by analysing an infectees breath.
In a study of one hundred and thirty people with various stomach illnesses, researchers from China and Israel managed to diagnose the cancer 90% of the time. The ‘breath-test’ was also able to distinguish between early and late stage stomach cancer.

Finding Community in Surviving Cancer
“Cancer,” Jason Pike wrote in his first blog post last April.
“It fucking sucks and it’s hard to explain.”

“As many cancer patients will attest, the act of treatment and recovery is boring as hell,” says the 30-year-old, who blogs at As Yet Unfinished. “There I was, lying in hospital rooms on intense painkillers, sitting in waiting rooms awaiting my daily radiation treatments or lying on my couch watching the same episodes of the same shows over and over. Add to that the sum total of being in pain, scared of dying and unable to speak, and my nature as an expressive artist, and it was shockingly easy for me to keep [the blog] updated.”
