Police Seeing Higher BAC Levels in Those Charged With DUI

2011-06-10

Some Arizona law enforcement officials estimate that the number of so-called "extreme DUI" cases -- those involving drivers with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .15 percent or more -- have doubled in recent years. Cases of "super extreme DUI" -- where the driver's BAC is more than .20 percent -- have also risen sharply. From a law enforcement standpoint, this trend has resulted in tougher crackdowns on possible drunken drivers, and the public outcry will no doubt pressure judges to "throw the book" at people charged with higher-level ...

New supernova remnant lights up

2011-06-10

Cambridge, MA - In 1987, light from an exploding star in a neighboring galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud, reached Earth. Named Supernova 1987A, it was the closest supernova explosion witnessed in almost 400 years, allowing astronomers to study it in unprecedented detail as it evolves. Today a team of astronomers announced that the supernova debris, which has faded s0vewr the years is now brightening. This shows that a different power source has begun to light the debris, and marks the transition from a supernova to a supernova remnant. "Supernova 1987A has become the ...

Biologists uncover regulatory mechanism for gene expression in the visual system

2011-06-10

Biologists have uncovered a key regulatory mechanism used for gene expression in the visual system. Their findings, which appear in the latest issue of the journal Cell, offer new insights into the complexity behind the genetic make-up of biological systems. The study, which included researchers from New York University's Department of Biology, Japan's Okayama University, Cincinnati Children's Hospital, and Germany's University of Würzburg, examined the photoreceptor cells in the retina of the fruit fly Drosophila. Drosophila is a powerful model for studying eye development ...

Early agricultural piracy informs the domestication of rice

2011-06-10

The origins of rice have been cast in a new light by research publishing in the open-access journal PLoS Genetics on June 9, 2011. By reconciling two theories, the authors show that the domestication of rice occurred at least twice independently but with extensive "borrowing" between the two subspecies. Indica and japonica are, respectively, the southern and northern varieties of rice and they are major staple crops in Asia. Whether they share a single origin of domestication or were domesticated independently twice interests both historians and biologists, and the two ...

Physicists hit on mathematical description of superfluid dynamics

2011-06-10

It has been 100 years since the discovery of superconductivity, a state achieved when mercury was cooled, with the help of liquid helium, to nearly the coldest temperature achievable to form a superfluid that provides no resistance to electrons as they flow through it. During that century, scientists have struggled to find a precise mathematical explanation of why and how this strange fluid behaves as it does. Liquid helium-4 itself becomes a superfluid when cooled to within a few degrees of absolute zero on the Kelvin scale (minus 273 Celsius or minus 460 Fahrenheit), ...

New Law Offers Relief to Struggling Utah Homeowners

2011-06-10

Despite signs of economic recovery, the home foreclosure crisis is far from over. Utah homeowners still face considerable threats: in February, Utah had the fourth highest per capita rate of foreclosure filings in the nation and over 32,000 homeowners were slapped with foreclosure notices in 2010. In other words, last year an astonishing one in 29 homes was affected. State lawmakers have taken notice. A new bill aimed at stemming wrongful foreclosures in Utah, SB261, was recently signed into law by Governor Gary Herbert. While SB261 seems to be a step in the right direction, ...

Discovery may pave way to quitting smoking without gaining weight

2011-06-10

Smokers tend to die young, but they tend to die thinner than non-smokers. A team of scientists led by Yale School of Medicine has discovered exactly how nicotine suppresses appetite – findings that suggest that it might be possible to develop a drug that would help smokers, and non-smokers, stay thin. Nicotine activates a small set of neurons in a section of the hypothalamus that signals the body has had enough to eat, the researchers report in the June 10 issue of the journal Science. Nicotine accomplishes this trick by activating a different set of receptors on the ...

New research describes key function of enzyme involved in RNA processing

2011-06-10

CLEVELAND – June 9, 2011 – Researchers at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine have identified a cellular mechanism that is critical in maintaining normal cell function. In their work, the researchers led by Eckhard Jankowsky, PhD, researcher and associate professor in the Center for RNA Molecular Biology at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, examined the function of TRAMP, a protein complex involved in the processing of RNA or ribonucleic acid within the cell. They identified a key function for the protein Mtr4p in a process that ...

Signaling pathways point to vulnerability in breast cancer stem cells

2011-06-10

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (June 9, 2011) – Whitehead Institute researchers have identified signals from breast epithelial cells that can induce those cells to transition to and maintain a mesenchymal and stem cell-like cell state that imbues both normal and cancer cells with a greater ability to migrate and self-renew. Interrupting these signals strips the cells of the migratory, invasive and self-renewal abilities used by cancer stem cells to seed new tumors. "Stem cells are important in both cancers and normal tissues. On the one hand we'd like to know what creates so-called ...

Bankruptcy Exemptions In California

2011-06-10

One of the primary purposes of bankruptcy is to "relieve the honest debtor from the weight of oppressive indebtedness and permit him to start afresh free from the obligations and responsibilities consequent upon business misfortunes." When you file for bankruptcy, all of your property becomes part of the "bankruptcy estate." To protect some assets from the trustee, Congress created exemptions for debtors in bankruptcy. These exemptions allow a debtor to "exempt" some of their assets from being recovered by the trustee for the benefit of ...
