HONOLULU, HI, July 04, 2011 (Press-News.org) This leg-pulling tale tells of a group of mis-guided, if slightly loony, scientists, of a lovely woman, a handsome athlete and of two mischievous Greek gods who spill the beans on a scheme to privatize the USA and reduce the deficit by selling off the Western states. So, what's the price of real estate in the fifth dimension?
Born on the banks of the Detroit River in an orange crate house next to a pot-belly stove in the cold spring of 1930, Guerrino Amati worked his way through a BA English from Wayne State University and, later, after a stint in the US Army, an MA from the University of Chicago. Associate Editor for Popular Mechanics Magazine in the early sixties, he taught English grammar, rhetoric, literature, and logic in City Colleges of Chicago from 1962 to 1995. Amati began writing in 1982, happily ensconced with his wife in an old farm house in rural Crete, just south of Chicago. He has written three novels and eight short stories. With five children -- two daughters, three sons -- this "old man is proud to offer his ironic, sardonic take on the most absurd of species.

Specialized seeds can really float your boat
2011-07-04
A new artificial surface inspired by floating seeds, which could provide an alternative to the toxic paints currently used to prevent fouling on ship hulls, has been developed by German scientists.
Scientists from the Biomimetics-Innovation-Centre have developed a new anti-fouling surface based on a seed from a species of palm tree. "These plants have seeds which are dispersed by the ocean currents. As it is an advantage for these seeds to remain free of fouling to allow them to disperse further, we guessed they might have specialised surfaces we could mimic," explains ...
GoodNews Christian Bookstore Announces Website Partnership and Free Local Church Resource

English stated that there are over 200 churches in the Toledo area. Many of these churches are small, and don't have the resources to submit events or worship schedules to other local media, such as the Toledo Blade. He went on to state that this service will be absolutely free to any church, synagogue, temple, mosque, nursing home, funeral home, or other house of worship. They may submit any number of events to him for inclusion in the calendar at Wheresthecat.com, now or at any point in the future.
Church listings will include not only the church name and phone number, ...
Biofuels from the sea
2011-07-04
Seaweed may prove a viable future biofuel – especially if harvested in summer.
The use of kelp (Laminaria digitata) could provide an important alternative to terrestrial grown biofuels; however the suitability of its chemical composition varies on a seasonal basis. Harvesting the kelp in July when carbohydrate levels are at their highest would ensure optimal sugar release for biofuel production.
"The storage carbohydrate and soluble sugars get converted into ethanol in the fermentation process, so we need as much as possible," explains Dr. Jessica Adams, a lead researcher ...
Researchers decipher protein structure of key molecule in DNA transcription system
2011-07-04
INDIANAPOLIS – Scientists have deciphered the structure of an essential part of Mediator, a complex molecular machine that plays a vital role in regulating the transcription of DNA.
The research adds an important link to discoveries that have enabled scientists to gain a deeper understanding of how cells translate genetic information into the proteins and processes of life. The findings, published in the July 3 advance online issue of the journal Nature, were reported by a research team led by Yuichiro Takagi, Ph.D., assistant professor of biochemistry and molecular biology ...

The 2011 E3 Bright Idea Award was recently presented to N Control in recognition of The Avenger Controller, its innovative precision controller adapter that enhances the performance of the XBOX 360. The Avenger was awarded the prestigious Bright Idea Award at this year's E3 where it won a competition against formidable competition. It was singled out as the best new invention at all of e3, which hosts over 200 exhibitors.
Innovation is the hallmark of the N Control device. Both professional gamers and beginners appreciate the enhancement of the gaming experience that ...
Overlooked peptide reveals clues to causes of Alzheimer's disease
2011-07-04
Researchers at the RIKEN Brain Science Institute (BSI) and their collaborators have shed light on the function of a little-studied amyloid peptide in promoting Alzheimer's disease (AD). Their surprising findings reveal that the peptide is more abundant, more neurotoxic, and exhibits a higher propensity to aggregate than amyloidogenic agents studied in earlier research, suggesting a potential role in new approaches for preventing AD-causing amyloidosis.
An irreversible, progressive brain disease affecting millions worldwide, Alzheimer's disease is devastating for its victims, ...

Warming ocean layers will undermine polar ice sheets
Warming of the ocean's subsurface layers will melt underwater portions of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets faster than previously thought, according to new University of Arizona-led research. Such melting would increase the sea level more than already projected.
The research, based on 19 state-of-the-art climate models, proposes ...
The Fraudulent Nature Of Psychiatric Labels.
2011-07-04
A new must-see video produced by the Citizens Commission on Human Rights International graphically demonstrates the fraudulent nature of all psychiatry's labels.
The children in the video rip off their bogus psychiatric label and show a genuine label of their true nature. The name under the label of one child labeled with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD) is simply "Kid".
20 million children are now wearing these labels that are based solely on a checklist of behaviors. There are no brain scans, x-rays, genetic or blood tests that can prove the scientific ...
UBC 'megapixel' DNA replication technology promises faster, more precise diagnostics
2011-07-04
UBC researchers have developed a DNA measurement platform that sets dramatic new performance standards in the sensitivity and accuracy of sample screening.
The advance could improve a range of genetic diagnostics and screenings where precise measurement is crucial--including the early detection of cancer, prenatal diagnostics, the detection of pathogens in food products, and the analysis of single cell gene expression.
The new digital polymerase chain reaction (PCR) device uses liquid surface tension, rather than systems of microscopic valves, to partition DNA samples ...
Genetic variant linked to development of liver cancer in hepatitis C virus carriers
2011-07-04
A genome-wide study by researchers at the RIKEN Center for Genomic Medicine, Hiroshima University Hospital and Sapporo-Kosei General Hospital has identified a genetic variant associated with the development of liver cancer in chronic hepatitis C virus carriers. The findings are based on a study of 3,312 Japanese individuals and appear in the journal Nature Genetics.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common type of liver cancer, is the third leading cancer-related cause of death and the seventh most common form of cancer worldwide. The hepatitis C virus (HVC) is ...
