Weirdly interesting. There has been a long history of discussion of flipping of the magnetic poles and what the subsequent effect would be on the earth in general terms. This brings the subject back up for discussion...

North Magnetic Pole Moving Due to Core Flux

Earth's north magnetic pole is racing toward Russia at almost 40 miles (64 kilometers) a year due to magnetic changes in the planet's core, new research says.

Well you can actually see Russia from the US, just not her porch.

Jan. 6, 2010 -- Cell phone exposure may be helpful in the fight against Alzheimer's disease, a new study shows.
The study, involving mice, provides evidence that long-term exposure to electromagnetic waves associated with cell phone use may protect against, and even reverse, Alzheimer's disease.
The study is published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease.

The researchers conclude that the findings could mean electromagnetic field exposure might be an effective, noninvasive, and drug-free way to prevent and treat Alzheimer's disease in humans.

That's because if you smash up your car, or walk out in front of one, you probably won't live long enough to get Alzheimer's.

Well it is weird that they were saying cell phone use could cause brain cancer and here they found out that the plaque from Alzheimer is destroyed by the radiation instead.

The article inspired funny scenarios about the cell phone but they were humorous funny and not morbid funny.

"It surprised us to find that cell phone exposure, begun in early adulthood, protects the memory of mice otherwise destined to develop Alzheimer's symptoms," study researcher Gary Arendash, PhD, of the University of South Florida, says in a news release. "It was even more astonishing that the electromagnetic waves generated by cell phones actually reversed memory impairment in old Alzheimer's mice."

On the other hand it seems that Alzheimer's protects you from cancer: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8425824.stm

Take your choice.

Doc: I've got bad news and really bad news: The bad news is that you've got cancer. The really bad news is you've also got Alzheimers.

Patient: Well, thank god I don't have cancer!

Palin majored in journalism with an emphasis on broadcasting at the University of Idaho and worked part-time as a weekend sportscaster in 1988 for KTUU-TV in Anchorage, using her then-maiden name Heath. The station's sports director, John Carpenter, said the young broadcaster left after a few months because of the low pay.

Carpenter said he was sorry to see her go. She was a hard worker who enjoyed the entire process, not just being in front of the cameras, he said.

"She knew sports, she could talk sports, she looked OK on TV," Carpenter said. "She had the aptitude, no question."

seems very fitting. Sad, but fitting.

She'll be great at it, just because she believes what she says.
