AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, June 30, 2011 (Press-News.org) Amidst a glorious summer of local and national events across the globe, international travel experts easytobook.com recommend that mid-July visitors to Paris secure their Paris accommodation without delay in order to avoid disappointment this Bastille Day.
Parisian celebrations typically involve fireworks around the Eiffel Tower, Saint Germain des Pres district, and around Montparnasse. Due to the congregation of such large crowds, however, the best vantage points are found in the higher areas of the city's notably Montmartre and the roof of Georges Pompidou Centre.
The morning of Thursday 14th will see a traditional parade of French military vehicles and personnel, led by Nicholas Sarkozy along the Champs-Elysees, from Arc de Triomphe to Place de la Conchord. Among the troops in the parade, onlookers will be able to see military cadets as well as the French Navy and French Foreign Legion. The procession also features military vehicles, including tanks and fighter jets, to complete the ensemble.
That evening will also see the occasion of Firemen's Balls across the city, where firehouses will open up their doors for further revelry and displays of dancing. These exhibitions usually feature the fire-fighters themselves, and encourage donations towards their charitable trust, which are always gratefully received.
Bastille Day, or La Fete Nationale, celebrates the anniversary of the storming of the Bastille in 1789, the first major incident of the French Revolution. This day is a public holiday throughout all of France and is often marked across the country by fireworks, dancing and music, and community feasting. A popular festival countrywide, Paris is the first choice for great numbers of tourists who wish to witness the parade and the famous Parisian fireworks. This popularity has the potential to put a strain on Paris hotels and is likely to drive demand and rates to much higher levels.

Sequence of ovarian genome identifies predominant gene mutations, points to possible treatment
2011-06-30
HOUSTON -- (June 30, 2011) –The genome of the most common form of ovarian cancer is characterized by a few common gene mutations but also surprisingly frequent structural changes in the genome itself, said members of The Cancer Genome Atlas, including the Baylor College of Medicine Human Genome Sequencing Center, that sequenced and analyzed more than 300 such tumors. The study was the first to achieve an overview of this type of ovarian cancer.
"We found that ovarian cancer has a dramatic pattern of genomic disruption," said Dr. Richard Gibbs, director of the Baylor ...
Case Western Reserve researchers identify HIV-inhibiting mechanism
2011-06-30
CLEVELAND – June 29, 2011 –Researchers at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine have discovered a long-sought cellular factor that works to inhibit HIV infection of myeloid cells, a subset of white blood cells that display antigens and hence are important for the body's immune response against viruses and other pathogens.
The factor, a protein called SAMHD1, is part of the nucleic acid sensing machinery within the body's own immune system. It keeps cells from activating immune responses to the cells own nucleic acids, thus preventing certain forms of autoimmunity ...
Most distant quasar found
2011-06-30
"This quasar is a vital probe of the early Universe. It is a very rare object that will help us to understand how supermassive black holes grew a few hundred million years after the Big Bang," says Stephen Warren, the study's team leader.
Quasars are very bright, distant galaxies that are believed to be powered by supermassive black holes at their centres. Their brilliance makes them powerful beacons that may help to probe the era when the first stars and galaxies were forming. The newly discovered quasar is so far away that its light probes the last part of the reionisation ...
Study confirms CT lung cancer screens save lives; other analyses underway

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — Research results from the National Lung Screening Trial, published online June 29 in the New England Journal of Medicine confirm that helical low-dose CT (LDCT) scans for lung cancer reduce deaths in heavy smokers by 20 percent compared to X-ray scans, but several other key findings from the data gathered in the study, including cost-effectiveness, will be released in the next six months, said a Brown University statistician who helped lead the massive government-funded study.
"The results of the study say that the time has come for ...
Scientists use 'optogenetics' to control reward-seeking behavior
2011-06-30
(Embargoed) CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – Using a combination of genetic engineering and laser technology, researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have manipulated brain wiring responsible for reward-seeking behaviors, such as drug addiction. The work, conducted in rodent models, is the first to directly demonstrate the role of these specific connections in controlling behavior.
The UNC study, published online on June 29, 2011, by the journal Nature, uses a cutting-edge technique called "optogenetics" to tweak the microcircuitry of the brain and then assess ...
