LAS VEGAS, NV, March 27, 2012 (Press-News.org) While most American's knew Red Skelton for his starring rolls on radio, in movies and his own television variety show where he was known as the king of comedy and adlibs, few people knew he was pursuing another talent.
Red Skelton started dabbling in painting as a way to relax and unwind. Years of producing a weekly variety show brings great pressure to create new material and routines. The work load can be overwhelming.
Everyone needs a way to relax and the creative side of Red was always working overtime. His wife Georgia, having some experience in the arts, suggested he take up painting as a way to relax.
His original artwork would sell for thousands, sometimes tens of thousands of dollars and he knew that his fans couldn't always afford the originals so he had authorized reproductions made in limited quantities, each with a letter and a seal of authenticity.
The majority of Red Skelton paintings and artwork consisted of clowns. Often the paintings were self portraits with many of them looking like Freddie the Freeloader, the hobo who lived in the city dump.
All of Red Skelton's artwork is numbered, whether it was done on canvas, ceramic, or produced on plates, they all have titles to the prints with names like "The Pledge", "Elegance", and "My Thanks".
While the art collection that's displayed is very limited, the laughs are non stop in this family show. Just like the paintings and artworks of Red Skelton, a limited quantity of discount tickets are available. The first 100 people to use the promo code ART will get half off the regular priced admission.

Red Skelton Comedy Show is dedicated to making sure that Red and his characters he created will never be forgotten. For further information, please call 724-513-4031

Genetic risk and stressful early infancy join to increase risk for schizophrenia
2012-03-27
Working with genetically engineered mice and the genomes of thousands of people with schizophrenia, researchers at Johns Hopkins say they now better understand how both nature and nurture can affect one's risks for schizophrenia and abnormal brain development in general.
The researchers reported in the March 2 issue of Cell that defects in a schizophrenia-risk genes and environmental stress right after birth together can lead to abnormal brain development and raise the likelihood of developing schizophrenia by nearly one and half times.

More energy efficient transistors through quantum tunneling
2012-03-27
Researchers at the University of Notre Dame and Pennsylvania State University have announced breakthroughs in the development of tunneling field effect transistors (TFETs), a semiconductor technology that takes advantage of the quirky behavior of electrons at the quantum level.
Transistors are the building blocks of the electronic devices that power the digital world, and much of the growth in computing power over the past 40 years has been made possible by increases in the number of transistors that can be packed onto silicon chips.
But that growth, if left to current ...
Essential tremor patient regains independence following surgery
2012-03-27
CHICAGO – For nearly 30 years, Tom Rogers' left hand would shake when he tried to use it, making even simple tasks such as drinking a glass of water, writing a check, or making a sandwich challenging. The tremor eventually became so disruptive that he lost use of his dominant hand. Rogers sought care and learned that his tremor was a symptom of Parkinson's disease, yet felt he was suffering from something different.
"I was familiar with Parkinson's because my father had it and I knew this wasn't the same," said Rogers, a 66-year-old retired truck driver who resides in ...

Human noise has ripple effects on plants
2012-03-27
A growing body of research shows that birds and other animals change their behavior in response to human noise, such as the din of traffic or the hum of machinery.
But human clamor doesn't just affect animals.
Because many animals also pollinate plants or eat or disperse their seeds, human noise can have ripple effects on plants, too, finds a new study reported in the March 21, 2012, issue of the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
In cases where noise has ripple effects on long-lived plants like trees, the consequences could last for decades, even after ...

Does the brain 'remember' antidepressants?
2012-03-27
Individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD) often undergo multiple courses of antidepressant treatment during their lives. This is because the disorder can recur despite treatment and because finding the right medication for a specific individual can take time.
While the relationship between prior treatment and the brain's response to subsequent treatment is unknown, a new study by UCLA researchers suggests that how the brain responds to antidepressant medication may be influenced by its remembering of past antidepressant exposure.
Interestingly, the researchers ...
