A new approach to faster anticancer drug discovery
2012-03-14
Tracking the genetic pathway of a disease offers a powerful, new approach to drug discovery, according to scientists at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine who used the approach to uncover a potential treatment for prostate cancer, using a drug currently marketed for congestive heart failure. Their findings are published in the current online issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

In today's world, it is almost impossible to imagine a life without the Internet. Many people are becoming increasing dependent on Facebook, Google or even email - with younger generations who would find themselves completely lost without them. Unfortunately, as with every technological advancement there is always someone who is willing to exploit it; which is only illustrated by an Internet rife with illegal music and movie downloads, not to mention unauthorized uses of trademarks.
Consequently, the owners of intellectual property - such as copyrights and trademarks ...
American public opposes Israel striking Iran: UMD poll
2012-03-14
COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Only one in four Americans favors Israel conducting a military strike against Iran's nuclear program, finds a new University of Maryland poll. Nearly seven in ten (69 percent) favor the United States and other major powers continuing to pursue negotiations with Iran, a position supported by majorities of Republicans (58 percent), Democrats (79 percent) and Independents (67 percent).
Consistent with this emphasis on a diplomatic approach, three in four Americans say that the United States should primarily act through the U.N. Security Council rather ...
Just 60 seconds of combat impairs memory
2012-03-14
Just 60 seconds of all-out physical exertion in a threatening situation can seriously damage the memories of those involved for many details of the incident, according to a new study of police officers.
Police officers, witnesses and victims of crime suffer loss of memory, recognition and awareness of their environment if they have had to use bursts of physical energy in a combative encounter, according to scientists.
Researchers, led by Dr Lorraine Hope of the University of Portsmouth, found that less than 60 seconds of all-out exertion, as might happen when an officer ...
Cell Phone Use by Pedestrians Rife With Dangers, According to New Study
2012-03-14
We have all heard about the risks of texting behind the wheel, but walkers who are glued to their mobile devices may also pose a risk. According to a new study, talking on a cell phone or texting while walking can have a drastic impact on pedestrian safety.
Cell Phone Users Found To Be Imprecise Walkers
In the study from Stony Brook University, 33 men and women in their 20s, all of them familiar with cell phone use and texting, were shown a target on the floor approximately 25 feet away. They were then blindfolded, and instructed to walk to the target at a comfortable ...
Barrier to faster graphene devices identified and suppressed
2012-03-14
These days graphene is the rock star of materials science, but it has an Achilles heel: It is exceptionally sensitive to its electrical environment.
This single-atom-thick honeycomb of carbon atoms is lighter than aluminum, stronger than steel and conducts heat and electricity better than copper. As a result, scientists around the world are trying to turn it into better computer displays, solar panels, touch screens, integrated circuits and biomedical sensors, among other possible applications. However, it has proven extremely difficult to reliably create graphene-based ...
Premises Liability Designed to Protect Citizens from Sidewalk Hazards
2012-03-14
Premises liability is an area of law designed to protect certain individuals from unsafe or dangerous conditions.
Generally, most premise liability cases involve slip and fall accidents. This type of accident can occur in many situations, ranging from tripping on a product in a store aisle to slipping on an ice covered sidewalk. Such accidents can result in serious injuries, and negligent property owners in New York City and all across the country can be held accountable for these injuries under the law.

Genome sequencing initiative links altered gene to age-related neuroblastoma risk
2012-03-14
Researchers have identified the first gene mutation associated with a chronic and often fatal form of neuroblastoma that typically strikes adolescents and young adults. The finding provides the first clue about the genetic basis of the long-recognized but poorly understood link between treatment outcome and age at diagnosis.
The study involved 104 infants, children and young adults with advanced neuroblastoma, a cancer of the sympathetic nervous system. Investigators discovered the ATRX gene was mutated only in patients age 5 and older. The alterations occurred most often ...
The Pros and Cons of Using Loan Modifications to Fight Foreclosure
2012-03-14
Our meandering economy has pushed the finances of many families quite literally to the breaking point. When reserves have been exhausted, homeowners struggle to find a way to pay their mortgages. Often people look to loan modifications to avoid home foreclosure.
Unlike a refinance of a home, a loan modification does not create a new loan. Loan modifications are simply changes made to the existing loan. The terms of the loan are renegotiated to make it more affordable.
The Challenge of Loan Modifications
All too often, however, the loan modification process can ...
Sex-Offender Registry in New Jersey: What Does Megan's Law Require?
2012-03-14
As the state that first initiated the registration process commonly known as Megan's Law in 1994, New Jersey imposes serious consequences on individuals convicted of sex crimes against children. Anyone facing allegations of child molestation, child-pornography possession or child sexual assault should know that, in addition to prison and a criminal record, the consequences of a conviction can include lifetime registration as a sex offender.
New Jersey's criminal-justice code mandates registration by certain sex offenders and authorizes publication of their presence within ...
