Nashville Bankruptcy Attorneys Clark & Washington Urge Nashville Residents Facing Foreclosure to Schedule a Free Consultation Now
2014-03-19
The threat of foreclosure is a very real and very frightening one. The Nashville bankruptcy lawyers at Clark & Washington understand that no one ever wants to lose their home, and they encourage you to take steps to avoid foreclosure if possible.
There are only two ways to stop a foreclosure in Tennessee: the mortgage lender can voluntarily stop the foreclosure from occurring or you can file for personal bankruptcy under Chapter 13. Unfortunately, mortgage lenders do not often choose to stop foreclosure proceedings on their own, so your best option for keeping your ...

If two is company and three is a crowd, what is four - especially when you are living and working in close quarters and under stress for several days? That is what NASA's Flight Analogs Project, funded by NASA's Human Research Program, set to find out when it sent four crew members on a simulated mission to the Geographos asteroid on February 27, 2014. This initiated the first of many missions that will take place inside the Human Exploration Research Analog (HERA) located at NASA's Johnson Space Center.
"Flight analogs like HERA provide researchers with environments ...

The power of poison: Study examines pesticide poisoning of Africa's wildlife
2014-03-19
Poisons are silent, effective and cheap, making the especially dangerous in Africa where they are used for both pest control and illegal poaching. However, as a new study in Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences reveals, they also kill un-intended wildlife.
Africa has a long history of using poison, both for early tribal warfare and for hunting. Synthetic poisons however were introduced, like so many things, by European colonialists in the 19th century. In southern Africa colonial administrators sanctioned the poisoning of predators and scavengers, a practice which ...
Youth, wealth and education found to be risk factors for violent radicalization
2014-03-19
New research from Queen Mary University of London has found youth, wealth, and being in full-time education to be risk factors associated with violent radicalisation. Contrary to popular views – religious practice, health and social inequalities, discrimination, and political engagement showed no links.
The pioneering research assessed population prevalence of sympathies for terrorist acts – a key marker of vulnerability to violent radicalisation – and their relationship with commonly assumed causes of radicalisation. The community study surveyed over 600 men and women ...
Fast synthesis could boost drug development
2014-03-19
CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Small protein fragments, also called peptides, are promising as drugs because they can be designed for very specific functions inside living cells. Insulin and the HIV drug Fuzeon are some of the earliest successful examples, and peptide drugs are expected to become a $25 billion market by 2018.
However, a major bottleneck has prevented peptide drugs from reaching their full potential: Manufacturing the peptides takes several weeks, making it difficult to obtain large quantities, and to rapidly test their effectiveness.
That bottleneck may soon disappear: ...
Humans drive evolution of conch size
2014-03-19
The first humans to pluck a Caribbean fighting conch from the shallow lagoons of Panama's Bocas del Toro were in for a good meal. Smithsonian scientists found that 7,000 years ago, this common marine shellfish contained 66 percent more meat than its descendants do today. Because of persistent harvesting of the largest conchs, it became advantageous for the animal to mature at a smaller size, resulting in evolutionary change.
Human-driven evolution of wild animals, sometimes referred to as "unnatural selection," has only previously been documented under scenarios of high-intensity ...
Statins slow the progression of advanced multiple sclerosis in clinical trial
2014-03-19
Statins may provide doctors with an unlikely new weapon with which to slow the progression of multiple sclerosis (MS).
No treatments can currently abate the advanced stage of the disease, known as secondary progressive MS, which gradually causes patients to become more disabled.
In a two-year clinical trial involving 140 patients with secondary progressive MS, the drug simvastatin slowed brain shrinkage, which is thought to contribute to patients' impairments. Supporting this finding, patients on simvastatin achieved better scores on movement tests and questionnaires ...
Fried foods may interact with genes to influence body weight, say experts
2014-03-19
The results show that eating fried food more than four times a week had twice as big an effect on body mass index (BMI) for those with the highest genetic risk scores compared with lower scores. In other words, genetic makeup can inflate the effects of bad diet, says an accompanying editorial.
It is well known that both fried food consumption and genetic variants are associated with adiposity (fatness). However, the interaction between these two risk factors in relation to BMI and obesity has not been examined.
So a team of US researchers, led by Lu Qi, Assistant Professor ...
