	Lacks v
		Lacks admitted that she allowed students to use profanity in the classroom in the context of performing the plays they had written and reading aloud the poems they had composed.
		Lacks could not say with certainty that she would be able to teach at Berkeley High School if her students were not given the freedom to use profanity in their creative activities.
		Lacks responds to this problem by arguing that the school board was influenced by the bias of the administrators, and that the board consequently served as the conduit, or "cat's paw," of the racial animus of the school administration.

		However, while Lacks' cells are famous world wide as HeLa cells, Lacks has remained anonymous - she is even misnamed Helen Lane or Larson in the few text books in which she is referred to by name.
		Lacks' husband, David Lacks Sr., maintains that in 1951, the only procedure for which he gave permission was an autopsy.
		In addition, it was revealed in 1971 that Lacks died due to a misdiagnosis of the specific type of cancer from which she suffered.

	Harvard Gazette: Filmmaker immortalizes 'immortal' cells
		On Oct. 4, 1951, Henrietta Lacks died of cervical cancer at Johns Hopkins University Hospital in Baltimore.
		Neither Henrietta nor the Lacks family gave permission for her cells to be used for research; in fact, the family didn't learn about the proliferation of HeLa cells until the early 1970s.
		While David Lacks and his children were still mourning, George Gey was trumpeting his success, distributing the cells he dubbed "HeLa" to other researchers and, with his colleagues, using them in research that helped create the polio vaccine.

	Lacks’ luster (Metro Times Detroit) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Lacks makes what he calls anthem music — hip hop as transcendence in a time when so many of the biggest sellers are here today and gone by this evening.
		Lacks grew up on the west side, near Fullerton and Greenfield, at a time when “breaking into houses was an initiation into the neighborhood.” Like many of Detroit’s finest in the hip-hop game, he grew up around other talents, including Dwele, and Big Tone of Wasted Youth.
		While the vinyl availability of Lacks’ early recordings remains scarce, a mix of a few of these tracks can be found on a live stream at www.grooveattack.com (look for the Detroit hip-hop mix), where Lacks distributes his albums.

	Design Arguments for the Existence of God [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		We see that things which lack knowledge, such as natural bodies, act for an end, and this is evident from their acting always, or nearly always, in the same way, so as to obtain the best result.
		Now whatever lacks knowledge cannot move towards an end, unless it be directed by some being endowed with knowledge and intelligence; as the arrow is directed by the archer.
		Since, for example, a cilium-precursor (i.e., one that lacks at least one of a cilium's parts) cannot perform the function that endows a cilium with adaptive value, organisms that have the cilium-precursor are no "fitter for survival" than they would have been without it.

		While she was in Hopkins' care, researchers took a fragment of Lacks' tumor and sliced it into little cubes, which they bathed in nutrients and placed in an incubator.
		In the half-century since Henrietta Lacks' death, her tumor cells--whose combined mass is probably much larger than Lacks was when she was alive--have continually been used for research into cancer, AIDS, the effects of radiation and toxic substances, gene mapping, and countless other scientific pursuits.

		Though Henrietta Lacks never traveled further than from Virginia to Baltimore, her cells are alive--and multiplying--in labs the world over.
		As she sped toward Baltimore, at the age of 23, her husband, David Lacks, waited in their new brick house with a stove that burned gas instead of wood.
		Henrietta Lacks rests today in an unmarked grave in the cemetery across the street from her family's tobacco farm in Virginia.

		A piece of her tumor was removed and, as it happens, passed on by the pathologist to a researcher who was trying to grow human tissue in vitro.

		Henrietta Lacks was born in 1920 in Clover, Virginia.
		Ms Lacks was known as pleasant and smiling, and always willing to lend a helping hand.
		Because it is the Congressional Record (unless it is not) we know that John Gey, or Grey, is in fact Dr George O. Gey, though his wife Margaret (though perhaps she was called Mary, who is to say?) has gone the way of all female scientific flesh.

	The Literary Encyclopedia
		We use punctuation when writing because we lack these phonetic and visual means of indicating how our the flow of sound is to be parsed; indeed punctuation was invented 2500 years ago when Greek dramatists thought it best to guide actors where to pause, where to stop, when to exclaim, and so on.
		And another where thus is vainly trying to establish a causality inside what is in fact a dull tautology: The laws of polite society govern whether she is to constitute part of the 'everybody' and thus transgression of the polite society would place her outside of acceptability.
		And another where whereby is covering a lack of knowledge rather than helping us to learn: In 'The Second Treatise on Government' Locke represents a fantasy world of nature whereby all men are equal and given a fair chance to succeed.

		Its origins lie in 1951, when Henrietta Lacks was admitted to the Johns Hopkins hospital.
		The new species is Helacyton gartleri; it is the cell line cultured from the diseased cervix of Henrietta Lacks.
		The culture was created by George Gey, a researcher who wanted to understand cancer, but was frustrated by, among other things, the inability to maintain a culture of human cells in the laboratory.

		Despite a lack of evidence produced by the Australian or American authorities against Habib, Grattan still accepted the spin put forward by Attorney General Phillip Ruddock that continued surveillance of Habib was necessary.
		If she was so concerned about the lack of transparency in contemporary Australian life, she should take a closer look at the Canberra Press Gallery.
		It is this collusion, and the lack of distance between what should be competing players, that make for truly diminished media coverage.

		As became clear at the first-ever Wikimedia conference, held last weekend in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, the Wikepedians see themselves leading a revolution of content and consciousness that could easily become part of an emerging citizens' journalism movement to transform mainstream media.
		In fact, there is a now a Wiki news service enhanced with links to background articles offering what most news lacks: context.
		The alternative and independent media can learn a lot from its success, even though part of its appeal is based on avoiding advocacy and writing with a neutral point of view.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Justin Martyr
		The place of the interview is not definitely told, but Ephesus is clearly enough indicated; the literary setting lacks neither probability nor life, the chance meetings under the porticoes, the groups of curious onlookers who stop a while and then disperse during the inteviews, offer a vivid picture of such extemporary conferences.
		We behold in him one of the highest and purest pagan souls of his time in contact with Christianity, compelled to accept its irrefragable truth, its pure moral teaching, and to admire its superhuman constancy.
		He is also a witness of the second-century Church which he describes for us in its faith, its life, its worship, at a time when Christianity yet lacked the firm organization that it was soon to develop (see ST. IRENÆUS), but the larger outlines of whose constitution and doctrine are already luminously drawn by Justin.

	The Seattle Times: Movies: Despite sweeping battles, Crusades epic lacks fire
		Perhaps we've all seen a few too many slow-motion arrows — or perhaps Scott's pale by comparison to, say, those of Zhang Yimou, whose flying weaponry in "House of Flying Daggers" and "Hero" achieved a kind of poetry.
		Perhaps Bloom lacks the gravitas and hint of menace that, say, Russell Crowe brings.
		At the end, we're reminded that "nearly 1,000 years later, peace in the Kingdom of Heaven remains elusive." So does the idea of a great movie about the Crusades; for now, we'll have to settle for a competent one.

	Beef recall process draws criticism / USDA lacks power to inform public, mandate returns
		Federal agencies have more power to recall defective toys and auto parts than they do tainted beef, according to consumer groups opposed to a federal rule that forbids state health departments from disclosing where beef products from the Washington state mad cow case were sold.
		The agreement between the California Department of Health and the USDA allows the federal agency to share information with the state on the whereabouts of tainted meat but requires that the state keep quiet about the information shared.
		It was signed in July 2002 after state officials were frustrated by the lack of information shared by the USDA and meat-packing giant ConAgra regarding the recall of 18 million pounds of beef potentially contaminated with E. coli bacteria.

		An overwhelming majority of Seattle police officers say they lack confidence in the leadership of Chief Gil Kerlikowske, officials of the department's union said last night.
		Of the 1,014 rank-and-file officers who cast ballots in the first-ever referendum on a Seattle chief, 893 -- 88 percent -- voted against Kerlikowske, said officials of the Seattle Police Officers Guild.
		After the guild meeting last night, Saucier said he wanted an "honest effort, not flowery statements" and was concerned there was a lack of urgency from city leaders.

		Both the human rights aspect of access to water and the need for a mechanism to monitor water programmes received mention during a week-long international conference on water that preceded the two-day ministerial meeting here.

		I hope that they fix that since making Cruiserweights wasn't easy due to the lack of their style of moves.

		My wife, who played the game with me, also complained about the lack of any really challenging puzzles and mysteries that allowed her to prove herself smarter than me when we played the first KOTOR.
		The result is a bit of a contradiction -- a fun, mostly playable mess with an excess of windy monologues and way too much going on.
