Weird Science

The news out of Washington has been so aggravating and frustrating and maddening lately that - being a Friday - it's perhaps in our own best interests to take a deep breath, let it out, and try to focus on things amusing and uplifting today.
Being a bit of a science geek, I thought maybe reviewing some of the science-related stories would be just what the doctor ordered.
To start with, scientists have been able to eliminate normal fear responses in mice:
Fortunately for the mice, other scientists have produced glow-in-the-dark cats. From this story:
That should help the mice avoid the cats. However, the cats cannot lay claim to the first glow-in-the-dark "pets" - that honor would seem to go to the rabbits...
These are interesting "side-effect" stories to the real research. There have been some other good science stories that seem to have slipped under the radar. For instance: Scientists have been able to cure sickle-cell anemia in mice:
Sure there's lots of work to be done, but it's a good start. Scientists have also been able to reverse Muscular Dystrophy:
Note that both of these cures involve the use of stem cells. If someone tries to tell you that stem cell research hasn't produced any useful results, these two studies show that is not the case.
Finally, it looks like we might be able to get some cleaner energy out of those old oil fields. The general idea is to use microbes to convert unusable oil into natural gas:
Sure natural gas isn't as clean as solar or wind, and it's not renewable, but it could provide us a transition from oil...
So as you're fighting the shopping crowds this weekend, or sliding on wet snowy roads, just keep these stories in mind and know that there are some bright spots in our future...
Being a bit of a science geek, I thought maybe reviewing some of the science-related stories would be just what the doctor ordered.
To start with, scientists have been able to eliminate normal fear responses in mice:
A University of Iowa study shows that loss or chemical inhibition of a protein, known as acid sensing ion channel protein (ASIC1a), reduces innate fear behavior in lab animals, making normally timid mice relatively fearless.
The findings might provide useful insight into anxiety disorders and may even point the way to a new therapeutic target.
For humans and other animals, some fears seem to be, in large part, instinctive and inborn rather than learned. For example, laboratory animals fear certain predators even though they have never been exposed to a predator. However, little is known about the brain mechanisms involved in innate fear responses.
Fortunately for the mice, other scientists have produced glow-in-the-dark cats. From this story:
South Korean scientists have cloned cats by manipulating a fluorescent protein gene, a procedure that could help develop treatments for human genetic diseases.
As part of the procedure's side effects, the cloned cats glow in the dark when exposed to ultraviolet beams.
That should help the mice avoid the cats. However, the cats cannot lay claim to the first glow-in-the-dark "pets" - that honor would seem to go to the rabbits...
These are interesting "side-effect" stories to the real research. There have been some other good science stories that seem to have slipped under the radar. For instance: Scientists have been able to cure sickle-cell anemia in mice:
Scientists have the first evidence that those "reprogrammed stem cells" that made headlines last month really have the potential to treat disease: They used skin from the tails of sick mice to cure the rodents of sickle cell anemia....
Thursday, scientists in Alabama and Massachusetts reported a key next step when they used the technique to give mice with sickle cell anemia a healthy new blood supply....
Townes had created a strain of mice bearing the human genes for sickle cell, a devastating inherited disease of deformed red blood cells that can't carry enough oxygen.
Townes paired with prominent stem cell scientist Rudolf Jaenisch of the Whitehead Institute in Cambridge, Mass., to reprogram skin from those mice into embryonic-like stem cells. They coaxed the newly engineered cells to grow into blood-producing cells. Then they replaced the sickle cell-causing gene with a healthy version and infused the new cells.
The mice started producing healthy blood, and their sickle cell symptoms vanished.
Sure there's lots of work to be done, but it's a good start. Scientists have also been able to reverse Muscular Dystrophy:
Scientists have demonstrated that a combination of stem cell and gene therapy can be used to correct the devastating hereditary disease of muscular dystrophy, according to a new study published Wednesday.
Working with mice but using human cells, a team led by Yvan Torrente of the University of Milan, Italy showed that they could spark the most common form of the muscle-wasting disease, Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), and then reverse it, offering hope to millions of sufferers world-wide.
Note that both of these cures involve the use of stem cells. If someone tries to tell you that stem cell research hasn't produced any useful results, these two studies show that is not the case.
Finally, it looks like we might be able to get some cleaner energy out of those old oil fields. The general idea is to use microbes to convert unusable oil into natural gas:
The key is the microbes, which have existed underground for hundreds of millions of years. They ferment the oil and expel natural gas without requiring oxygen.
Others have tried the approach used by Larter and his colleagues before, seeking to speed up the process by injecting more bacteria. But Larter says the key is giving the microbes their own version of vitamins.
"You'd basically feed them Miracle-Gro or fertilizer to accelerate their growth rate," he said.
The new product would be natural gas, not oil, a cleaner-burning fuel that contributes far less to global warming. Such an approach would be most promising in places with heavy oil, such as Alberta, Venezuela and Utah, other experts said.
Sure natural gas isn't as clean as solar or wind, and it's not renewable, but it could provide us a transition from oil...
So as you're fighting the shopping crowds this weekend, or sliding on wet snowy roads, just keep these stories in mind and know that there are some bright spots in our future...

As much as I cringe hearing about animal testing I know my life has been saved and improved by it. Monkeys were used to practice brain surgery and I benefited from that when I had it. My wife was just telling me about a new drug coming out for her rare disorder that might impove her life. *sigh* Still, I hate that we need to test animals. They deserve a special place in Heaven for all their pain and suffering.
(Sorry, lost two dogs this year, so I'm a bit sensitive to animal experimentation creepiness).

Huckabee took thousands in gifts...
Awww, That fits in perfect with his southern baptist preacher reputation... I wonder if he is friends with Eddie Long, and Feverand Dollar...
A $1,000 pair of cufflinks from a supporter, tens of thousands of dollars of clothing from a wealthy Little Rock businessman and thousands in gift certificates and cash from staff and appointees were among the lavish gifts given to Republican presidential candidate and unexpected frontrunner Mike Huckabee while he was governor of Arkansas.
The gifts fell within Arkansas's ethics rules but have raised questions among the governor's political opponents and ethics analysts at a time when scrutiny of the candidate is intensifying, and are at odds with the humble persona Huckabee has adopted on the campaign trail.

:( Baracks Daddy was a tool.. From a WaPo article titled, "Ghost of a Father"
===============================================
"Well, Barry," his father said. "It is a good thing to see you after so long. Very good."
For a month, the father hung around, speaking to his son's fifth-grade class, taking the boy to a Dave Brubeck concert, but never quite reestablishing himself. The trip's pivotal moment came one night as Barry prepared to watch "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," the annual Dr. Seuss special. The father said the boy had watched enough television and insisted that he go to his room to study. Barry's mother and grandparents intervened in what became a heated family argument. But they proved no match for the strong-willed father, who in an instant had reclaimed the paternal role he had long ago abdicated.
Barry went to his room, slammed the door and "began to count the days until my father would leave and things would return to normal."
=================================================
HE wouldn't let Barack watch the Grinch!!!

But they proved no match for the strong-willed father, who in an instant had reclaimed the paternal role he had long ago abdicated.
Barry went to his room, slammed the door and "began to count the days until my father would leave and things would return to normal."
=================================================
HE wouldn't let Barack watch the Grinch!!!

Quote by Raine:Baracks Daddy was a tool.. From a WaPo article titled, "Ghost of a Father"
"Well, Barry," his father said. "It is a good thing to see you after so long. Very good."
For a month, the father hung around, speaking to his son's fifth-grade class, taking the boy to a Dave Brubeck concert, but never quite reestablishing himself.

Can I say something here? I am prepared to take the beating that ensues.
When did parents absolve themselves of the task of serving as their childrens role models? When did it become the responsibility of a man, or woman who plays a game to teach their kids the difference between what is right and acceptable and what is wrong, and unacceptable? When the news came out that Daryl Strawberry did drugs he was lambasted by the parents of America for letting their children down. Darryl didn't sign a contract to be a role model. He signed a contract to hit and catch and throw a ball. He's a human being and human beings are bound to make mistakes. Some human beings are not good human beings and will, inevitably, do bad things. Some of those bad human beings play Baseball, and Basketball, and Football, etc, etc, etc. They may excel at their sport and get paid a lucrative sum of money to do so. But, at no time did they take a test, saying that they would always be without error, or poor judgement. To the parents who use "They are a role model" as a reason why an athlete should not have faultered may I say that, perhaps, you should instill in your child the reality that these people are mere athletes. TThey entertain us. They thrill us. They make us proud sometimes. And, other times they let us down. But, at no time should they take the place of a solid role model who did sign up for that task when they became a parent.

Bounce Your Boobies Lyrics:
You know girls, it's great to live in a democracy today, where freedom is
everywhere. But girls, we often take this freedom for granted: freedom of
speech, freedom of thought, and freedom of action. But you know gals, just
because a bunch of men signed that Declaration Of Independence in 1776,
doesn't mean that freedom was for men alone. Oh no, you take Tom Jefferson,
Ben Franklin, John Hancock - he's a helluva guy for you right there! All
these men had wives. They probably had a few broads on the side too. These
women wanted freedom just as much as their men did. But gals, I wonder, do
we? I think it's time that we women thought about it a bit. Hell, I think
it's time we did something about it. So come on, fellow females of the 20th
century! Be glad that you're an American! Proclaim your freedom! Stand at
attention! Pledge Allegiance! And...
Bounce your boobies, get into the swing.
Bounce your boobies, the swing is everything.
Makes no difference if they're big or small,
As long as you - ooh! - give 'em your all.
Bounce your boobies.
Come on, honey, bounce 'em up and down.
Bounce your boobies.
Come on, bounce your boobies, honey. Come on.
Loosen the bra that binds you!
Take it off if you feel like it!
Come on, bounce your boobies.
Here we go. Doesn't that feel good?
Bounce your boobies.
You know girls, men aren't the only people in the world today that have
something to give, but it sure looks like it sometimes. Just look around
you - men stick out all over the place. Big fat cigars. Big fat stomachs.
And just where they should stick out - phhbtt! - where is it?!
Yes, girls, we know what we've got, and we know what they're worth. So come
on, gals, let's get into the swing of things. Give your boobies some
freedom! All together now!
Bounce your boobies, let 'em rock 'n' roll.
Nudge your knockers, keep 'em hot and so.
Just admit it, gals, it sure feels great
To feel them swingin', ooh, titilate!
Bounce your boobies.
Come on, bounce 'em up and down, honey.
Bounce your boobies.
There, look at that gal, she's goin' at it.
Bounce your boobies.
Oh, doesn't that feel good?
Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce,
Bounce your boobies now!
Bounce your boobies everybody!

Both are true, I think. Randi has not been my favorite lately, but she makes an interesting point; Edwards is running on a "Two Americas" platform. This would have been a nice opportunity to put his money where his mouth is.

Having a child in the target demographic for the snack combo below....
Fruit rollups and chocolate milk work. Not Javi's favorite (he does prefer juice boxes), but that has been used in the past.
We are able to coax him out to play on ruggie with M & Ms and cheese poofies, though.

This is late coming... but ... (watch out world)
:hug: :star:
When did parents forget this? I say they didn't.... The media says *they [the parents] did... and so somehow. someone had to be the villian... when in fact... the villain was the media.
They needed to blame someone. They always do when it somes to anythinf that is not truly political.
Sport is sport. It didn't have a place at my family morality table. IT was sport. Sports were entertainment.

Quote by starling310: Can I say something here? I am prepared to take the beating that ensues.
When did parents absolve themselves of the task of serving as their childrens role models? When did it become the responsibility of a man, or woman who plays a game to teach their kids the difference between what is right and acceptable and what is wrong, and unacceptable? When the news came out that Daryl Strawberry did drugs he was lambasted by the parents of America for letting their children down. Darryl didn't sign a contract to be a role model. He signed a contract to hit and catch and throw a ball. He's a human being and human beings are bound to make mistakes. Some human beings are not good human beings and will, inevitably, do bad things. Some of those bad human beings play Baseball, and Basketball, and Football, etc, etc, etc. They may excel at their sport and get paid a lucrative sum of money to do so. But, at no time did they take a test, saying that they would always be without error, or poor judgement. To the parents who use "They are a role model" as a reason why an athlete should not have faultered may I say that, perhaps, you should instill in your child the reality that these people are mere athletes. TThey entertain us. They thrill us. They make us proud sometimes. And, other times they let us down. But, at no time should they take the place of a solid role model who did sign up for that task when they became a parent.

Good question. If she's out next week for surgery or vacation, and I know Christmas week is pretty much all repeats for everyone at AAR So, she could be off until after the holidays.
Hey, maybe Sam Seder will do some fill-ins.

Hello, I just got finished reading BobRs info. I have to say great job!! I have always been almost addicted to the brain and mental health. I worked in a VA Hosp. Pysch.ward when I first graduated from nursing school. I also have a very personal reason I suffer from PTSD and various phobias as well as depression. I went to the site where Bob got the info and it really is the best one I have ever been on. I have often wondered though about the difference in all living things concerning anxiety,panic and true fear. One of my pysch. professers had us all write a paper about if we thought anything that feels emotions can truly live or maybe a better word is survive w/o the ability to feel true fear. I think you have to have a healthy amount of fear to live. But the problem arises when fear becomes panic,anxiety and totally engulfs your life. So I think the study is fantastic and maybe one day perhaps in our lifetime we can be able to live,love,laugh and yes even fear but only enough to truly reconize how to use our correct amount of fear to live w/o overwhelming fears. As for stem search any disease that can be cured or even controled would be a true blessing. My Dad is blind and has lost a leg to diabetes. His mom lost both legs my dad and I both have type 1 and it is a full time job just trying to control it. My mom and brother have type 2 but either way it will kill you if you don't fight like hell every single day and night. I didn't mean to make this into a personal issue but it is a very personal issue to millions of people with many terrible diseases. So I say go for it!!!!! We all need to stop and think about how our brains really do make us who we are. Thanks so much for the info!!!!! 
There truly are some bright spots in our futures!!!
