Babies remember even as they seem to forget
2011-12-19
Fifteen years ago, textbooks on human development stated that babies 6 months of age or younger had no sense of "object permanence" – the psychological term that describes an infant's belief that an object still exists even when it is out of sight. That meant that if mom or dad wasn't in the same room with junior, junior didn't have the sense that his parents were still in the world.
These days, psychologists know that isn't true: for young babies, out of sight doesn't automatically mean out of mind. But how much do babies remember about the world around them, and what ...
Report identifies health, environmental issues and best practices
2011-12-19
WASHINGTON — A number of health and environmental issues and related risks need to be addressed when considering whether to lift the almost 30-year moratorium on uranium mining in Virginia, says a new report from the National Research Council, the operating arm of the National Academy of Sciences and National Academy of Engineering.
"Internationally accepted best practices, which include timely and meaningful public participation, are available to mitigate some of the risks involved," said Paul Locke, chair of the committee that wrote the report and associate professor, ...

Facts of "Hot Coffee" Case Show True Role of Personal Injury Litigation
Urban myths often do not correspond to the truth. In fact, they can be downright false -- perpetuating half-truths and outright lies. Such is the case with the infamous McDonald's "hot coffee" case, involving a woman who sought compensation for injuries caused by excessively hot coffee served in a flimsy cup at McDonald's.
After the woman obtained substantial compensation in her personal injury case, critics of America's legal system tried to portray it as an example of an ...
Location, location, location: Economists document key role of spatial component in economic growth
2011-12-19
(Chicago, IL) - Location and other geographical factors play an important role in supporting economic growth and development in emerging markets, a new study from the Consortium on Financial Systems and Poverty has found.
The study, which examines growth in the Thai economy between 1986 and 1996, shows that a high concentration of enterprise in an area predicts high subsequent growth in and around that area. Entrepreneurial activity decreases virtually by the mile the further away one gets from centers of economic concentration.
In addition, other geographic conditions, ...
NIH scientists find a potential new avenue for cancer therapies
2011-12-19
Recent findings in mice suggest that blocking the production of small molecules produced in the body, known as epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), may represent a novel strategy for treating cancer by eliminating the blood vessels that feed cancer tumors. This research is the first to show that EETs work in concert with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a protein known to induce blood vessel growth. Together, EETs and VEGF promote metastasis, or the spread of cancer, by encouraging the growth of blood vessels that supply nutrients to cancer cells.
The research ...
Aggressively Pursuing the Compensation Brooklyn Scaffolding Accident Victims Deserve
2011-12-19
Brooklyn has seen more than its fair share of construction projects in recent years. While the scope of these developments varies in size from small restoration and maintenance projects costing only thousands of dollars to the multibillion-dollar Atlantic Yards project in Prospect Heights, they all involve the potential for scaffolding accidents or ladder falls that may cause serious injury to those working on site.
At Simon Eisenberg & Baum, our Brooklyn construction accident lawyers help injured construction workers and families obtain compensation for damages ...
Acupuncture reduces protein linked to stress in first of its kind animal study
2011-12-19
Washington, DC — Acupuncture significantly reduces levels of a protein in rats linked to chronic stress, researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC) have found. They say their animal study may help explain the sense of well-being that many people receive from this ancient Chinese therapy.
Published online in December in Experimental Biology and Medicine, the researchers say that if their findings are replicated in human studies, acupuncture would offer a proven therapy for stress, which is often difficult to treat.
"It has long been thought that acupuncture ...
San Diego Zoo researchers contribute to project using mummy DNA to differentiate croc species
2011-12-19
The Nile crocodile is a species that was identified by ancient Egyptians. Genetic analysis done by a group of geneticists using samples taken from species throughout the animal's range and including DNA from mummified crocodile remains indicates that more than one species is known by this name.
"This paper provides a remarkable surprise: the Nile crocodile is not a single species, as previously thought, but instead demonstrates two species - living side-by side - constitute what has been called the Nile croc." Said Marlys Houck, geneticist with San Diego Zoo Global's ...
Elves Pull Off Daring Rescue Of Santa Claus And Reindeer
2011-12-19
It started out like any other Christmas Eve, but before the night was over, things would never be the same for Santa Claus and the reindeer. For the first time, the story of the Elves daring rescue of Santa Claus is revealed on a new free website, The Santa Claus Sleigh.
For years the number of good little girls and boys had been growing and growing, so the number of toys to deliver was through the roof. But Santa Claus was still using the same little red sleigh to deliver the toys. So every year, it took more and more trips back to the North Pole to reload the sleigh. ...
A major step forward towards drought tolerance in crops
2011-12-19
RIVERSIDE, Calif. – When a plant encounters drought, it does its best to cope with this stress by activating a set of protein molecules called receptors. These receptors, once activated, turn on processes that help the plant survive the stress.
A team of plant cell biologists has discovered how to rewire this cellular machinery to heighten the plants' stress response – a finding that can be used to engineer crops to give them a better shot at surviving and displaying increased yield under drought conditions.
The discovery, made in the laboratory of Sean Cutler, an ...
