LIVINGSTON, NJ, October 10, 2011 (Press-News.org) Award-winning tour operator Israel Tour Connection, LLC (ITC) has announced its 2011 Interfaith Israel Adventure. Led by Rabbi Leonard Cahan and Pastor Jan Lookingbill, the Interfaith Israel Adventure is designed to deepen mutual respect and understanding between followers of both faiths.

ITC's Interfaith Israel Adventure caters to Jewish and Christian individuals, as well as interfaith couples and families. The tour connects visitors to the history, politics, and religious aspects of Israel. Moreover, the tour helps Jews and Christians to explore their roots while teaching them about the birth of both religions in the Holy Land.
ITC CEO Larry Ritter said, "The Interfaith Israel Adventure doesn't aim to convert non-Jewish participants. It encourages a mutual respect of Christian and Jewish heritage, which are connected by a common spirituality. That being said, the tour has motivated many interfaith couples and families to bring Jewish values into their homes."

Babies show sense of fairness, altruism as early as 15 months
2011-10-10
A new study presents the first evidence that a basic sense of fairness and altruism appears in infancy. Babies as young as 15 months perceived the difference between equal and unequal distribution of food, and their awareness of equal rations was linked to their willingness to share a toy.
"Our findings show that these norms of fairness and altruism are more rapidly acquired than we thought," said Jessica Sommerville, a University of Washington associate professor of psychology who led the study.
"These results also show a connection between fairness and altruism in ...
Survey gives clues to origin of Type Ia supernovae
2011-10-10
The largest survey to date of distant exploding stars is giving astronomers new clues to what's behind the Type Ia supernovae they use to measure distances across the cosmos.
These stellar explosions helped astronomers conclude more than a decade ago that dark energy is accelerating the expansion of the universe, and this week earned the discoverers -- including UC Berkeley physicist Saul Perlmutter -- the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics. But what caused them was a mystery. Many astronomers thought white dwarf stars were pulling matter from their normal stellar companions ...
Aquatic fish jump into picture of evolutionary land invasion
2011-10-10
Research sometimes means looking for one thing and finding another. Such was the case when biology professor Alice Gibb and her research team at Northern Arizona University witnessed a small amphibious fish, the mangrove rivulus, jump with apparent skill and purpose out of a small net and back into the water.
This was no random flop, like you might see from a trout that's just been landed. The rivulus seemed to know what it was doing.
They hadn't expected to see that behavior, even from a fish known to spend time out of the water. So before long, what began as a study ...

Notre Dame researchers report progress on compound to treat neurological diseases
2011-10-10
Results of a study by a group of University of Notre Dame researchers represent a promising step on the road to developing new drugs for a variety of neurological diseases.
The group from the University's Departments of Chemistry and Biochemistry and Biological Sciences and the Friemann Life Sciences Center focused on the design, synthesis and evaluation of water-soluble "gelatinase inhibitor" compounds.
Gelatinases, a class of enzymes, have been implicated in a host of human diseases from cancer to cardiovascular conditions and in particular neurological conditions ...
Physicists localize 3-D matter waves for first time
2011-10-10
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- University of Illinois physicists have experimentally demonstrated for the first time how three-dimensional conduction is affected by the defects that plague materials. Understanding these effects is important for many electronics applications.
Led by physics professor Brian DeMarco, the researchers achieved complete localization of quantum matter waves in three dimensions, first theorized roughly half a century ago. The group published its findings in the Oct. 7 issue of the journal Science.
Defects in materials are inevitable, but their effects ...

Social Security: Welfare for the Lazy or Dignity for the Disabled?
2011-10-10
You already know what we're going to say. We're Social Security Disability lawyers. Our clients, New Yorkers from the Finger Lakes region and elsewhere throughout the state, know who we are.
And not a single one of them is lazy.
Not a single one of them would call their disability benefits a welfare check.
Not a single one of them would consider what they have already earned to be an "entitlement."

Study shows how bookmarking genes pre-cell division hastens their subsequent reactivation
2011-10-10
Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y. – In order for cells of different types to maintain their identities even after repeated rounds of cell division, each cell must "remember" which genes were active before division and pass along that memory to its daughter cells. Cells deal with this challenge by deploying a "bookmarking" process. In the same way a sticky note marks the last-read page in a book, certain molecules tag the active genes in a cell so that, after it divides, the same genes are reactivated right away in the new cells.
"What we didn't know, however, was how bookmarking ...
UK government claims that patient choice improves health care is based on flawed research, experts say
2011-10-10
Research which claims to show that the introduction of patient choice in the NHS reduced deaths from heart attacks is flawed and misleading, according to a report* published in The Lancet today (Monday).
The original study was used by the Government to advance its controversial Health and Social Care Bill 2011 and was the basis for the Prime Minister's statement that 'competition is one way we can make things work better for patients'.
In today's report, academics - led by Professor Allyson Pollock of Queen Mary, University of London - point out a series of errors in ...
