What are Revive Mints and Why is Everyone Talking About Them?
2010-11-18
From California to New York City it seems like the word about Revive Healthy Energy Mints is spreading like wild fire, so just what are these mints?
Revive energy mints are a healthy energy confectionery that was developed by RyLo Products in late 2008. Each Revive mint contains the same kick as a boost of coffee or a energy drink and is packed with antioxidants from exotic fruits like Acai, Mangosteen, and Goji Berry. Revive is recognized for the healthy energy boost it provides consumers, but what really makes Revive mints special and what has people talking about ...
Five Important Questions to Answer Before Retiring: Consortium of Securities America Advisors Offer Tips for a Retirement Income Distribution Plan
2010-11-18
According to a Barclays survey, 60 percent of wealthy individuals say they never plan to retire. This group of "Neveretirees," is expected to grow over the next several years as more than 70 percent of respondents under the age of 45 say that they will always be involved in some form of work. Equally startling is the fact that 32 percent of these people plan to work between five and 20 hours per week in retirement and seven percent plan to work more than 20 hours per week. (See Source 1)

Daughter of Engle Class Member Awarded $80 Million Against R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company
2010-11-18
Florida law firm Searcy Denney Scarola Barnhart & Shipley PA announced today that a jury has awarded $80 million to the daughter of an Engle class member who died from lung cancer after a sixty year addiction to nicotine in the cigarettes of R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company.
James Cayce Horner died at the age of 78 in 1996 after a long battle against lung cancer. He began smoking as a teenager, in the 1930s, during a time when R.J. Reynolds and other cigarette manufacturers openly marketed cigarettes to children and teenagers. Despite several losses of close family members ...
Most value-added impact from teachers fades within 1 year
2010-11-17
The impact a specific schoolteacher has on students' math and reading scores – whether bad or good – fades quite fast, according to a new study by researchers at Brigham Young University and the University of Michigan.
A recent trend in public education is to measure teacher quality based on how the students fared on standardized tests compared to previous years. If most of Mr. Green's current 5th grade students score at a higher percentile than they did as 4th graders, then Mr. Green gets what's called a high "value-added" rating.

Important brain area organized by color and orientation
2010-11-17
NASHVILLE, Tenn.—A brain area known to play a critical role in vision is divided into compartments that respond separately to different colors and orientations, Vanderbilt University researchers have discovered. The findings have important implications for furthering our understanding of perception and attention.
The research was published Nov. 14, 2010, in Nature Neuroscience.
"In vision, objects are defined by both their shape and their surface properties, such as color and brightness. For example, to identify a red apple, your visual system must process both the ...
Research shows behavior greatly impacts recovery from brain injury, addiction and other conditions
2010-11-17
SAN DIEGO — New research is providing a deeper understanding of how individual actions — such as exercising, sensory stimulation, or drinking — influence brain health and outcomes. This new knowledge could ultimately lead to interventions in age-related cognitive declines, drug abuse, stroke, and brain injury, separate from or in combination with traditional pharmacological approaches. These findings were presented at Neuroscience 2010, the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience and the world's largest source of emerging news on brain science and health.

Brain-machine interfaces offer improved options for prosthetics and treatments after injury
2010-11-17
SAN DIEGO —Two experimental brain-machine technologies — deep brain stimulation coupled with physical therapy and a thought-controlled computer system—may offer new therapies for people with stroke and brain injuries, new human research shows. In addition, an animal study shows a new artificial retina may restore vision better than existing prosthetics. The findings were announced today at Neuroscience 2010, the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience and the world's largest source of emerging news on brain science and health.
Brain-machine interface is an emerging ...
Animal studies suggest new paths to treating depression
2010-11-17
SAN DIEGO —New animal research has identified factors, such as the stress response and immune system, that may play important roles in depression. Scientists have also found that the regulation of nerve cell signals influences depression in animals, and that new drug combinations may more effectively treat it. The findings were presented at Neuroscience 2010, the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience and the world's largest source of emerging news on brain science and health.
Depression is a common mental disorder that affects more than 121 million people worldwide, ...
Teen vulnerability: Drug exposure during adolescence has long-lasting consequences
2010-11-17
SAN DIEGO —New research released today shows teenagers respond differently to drugs than adults and explores the long-lasting effects of drug use on brain development. One study shows people who start using drugs at a young age have greater cognitive shortfalls, including mental flexibility. Animal studies also suggest adolescents are more susceptible to lower doses of cocaine, are willing to work more for a cocaine "fix" than adults, and are at risk of developing compromised stress responses. The research findings were presented at Neuroscience 2010, the Society for Neuroscience's ...
Newly discovered drumlin field provides answers about glaciation and climate
2010-11-17
The landform known as a drumlin, created when the ice advanced during the Ice Age, can also be produced by today's glaciers. This discovery, made by researchers from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, has just been published in the scientific journal Geology.
Drumlins generally consist of an accumulation of glacial debris – till – and are found in areas that were covered by ice sheet. As the ice advanced, it moved rocks, gravel and sand and created tear-shaped raised ridges running parallel with the movement of the ice.
"Until now, scientists have been divided on ...
