HOUSTON, TX, September 20, 2012 (Press-News.org) Jose Canseco gives an insider point of view of what it's like to experience a public fall from grace.
In his latest, exciting video blog for Steroid.com, Jose Canseco candidly discusses the twisted spiral of what it was like to experience a much publicized fall from fame and success. Covering topics ranging from losing millions, no longer being in the game, and personal struggles, Canseco offers an insightful glimpse into the highs and lows of a professional sports career. Regarding becoming addicted to the success and fame, he says...
"You know I do think you get addicted to that lifestyle and I think you're always trying to get back what you lost or trying to become better but you never get it back."
Answering fan questions with thorough honesty and unvarnished candor, Canseco discloses that he misses the game today. When asked how much he still thinks of professional baseball, Canseco states...
"Yeah. I think if you have an addiction that long - playing major league baseball you constantly dream about it and I am dreaming about trying to get back to the game all the time and trying to play."
Canseco also reveals the personal sacrifices that had to be made while fashioning his career. Specifically, he addresses his regrets of not getting more time to spend with family, especially his daughter...
"My relationship with my daughter...she's gonna be sixteen now...I traveled so much...I didn't get to see my daughter as much as possible...I've missed a lot of time with my daughter... I wonder if she knows who her father is. I wonder if she knows who daddy is..."

New NIST screening method identifies 1,200 candidate refrigerants to combat global warming
2012-09-19
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a new computational method for identifying candidate refrigerant fluids with low "global warming potential" (GWP) — the tendency to trap heat in the atmosphere for many decades — as well as other desirable performance and safety features.
The NIST effort is the most extensive systematic search for a new class of refrigerants that meet the latest concerns about climate change. The new method was used to identify about 1,200 promising, low-GWP chemicals* for further study among some ...
Discovery of reprogramming signature may help further stem cell-based regenerative medicine research
2012-09-19
LA JOLLA, CA---- Salk scientists have identified a unique molecular signature in induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), "reprogrammed" cells that show great promise in regenerative medicine thanks to their ability to generate a range of body tissues.
In this week's Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the Salk scientists and their collaborators at University of California, San Diego, report that there is a consistent, signature difference between embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells. The findings could help overcome hurdles to using the induced stem ...
Sandia shows monitoring brain activity during study can help predict test performance
2012-09-19
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Research at Sandia National Laboratories has shown that it's possible to predict how well people will remember information by monitoring their brain activity while they study.
A team under Laura Matzen of Sandia's cognitive systems group was the first to demonstrate predictions based on the results of monitoring test volunteers with electroencephalography (EEG) sensors.
For example, "if you had someone learning new material and you were recording the EEG, you might be able to tell them, 'You're going to forget this, you should study this again,' ...
Major changes needed to protect Australia's species and ecosystems
2012-09-19
A study has highlighted the sensitivity of Australia's species and ecosystems to climate change, and the need for new ways of thinking about biodiversity conservation.
'Climate change is likely to start to transform some of Australia's natural landscapes by 2030,' lead researcher, CSIRO's Dr Michael Dunlop said.
'By 2070, the ecological impacts are likely to be very significant and widespread. Many of the environments our plants and animals currently exist in will disappear from the continent. Our grandchildren are likely to experience landscapes that are very different ...
NYU neuroscientists find promise in addressing Fragile X afflictions
2012-09-19
Neuroscientists at New York University have devised a method that has reduced several afflictions associated with Fragile X syndrome (FXS) in laboratory mice. Their findings, which are reported in the journal Neuron, offer new possibilities for addressing FXS, the leading inherited cause of autism and intellectual disability.
Those afflicted with FXS do not possess the protein FMRP, which is a suppressor of protein synthesis. Absent this suppressor, protein synthesis is exaggerated, producing a range of mental and physical disorders.
Previous research has indirectly ...
Scientists show biological mechanism can trigger epileptic seizures
2012-09-19
CINCINNATI – Scientists have discovered the first direct evidence that a biological mechanism long suspected in epilepsy is capable of triggering the brain seizures – opening the door for studies to seek improved treatments or even preventative therapies.
Researchers at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center report Sept. 19 in Neuron that molecular disruptions in small neurons called granule cells – located in the dentate gyrus region of the brain – caused brain seizures in mice similar to those seen in human temporal lobe epilepsy.
The dentate gyrus is in the ...
Autism symptoms could arise from unreliable neural responses
2012-09-19
Diverse symptoms associated with autism could be explained by unreliable activity of neurons in the brain in response to basic, nonsocial sensory information, according to a study published by Cell Press on September 19th in the journal Neuron. The new findings suggest that autism is a disorder of general neural processing and could potentially provide an explanation for the origins of a range of psychiatric and neurological disorders.
"Within the autism research community, most researchers are looking for either a dysfunctional brain region or inadequate connections ...

Neuroscientists investigate lotteries to study how the brain evaluates risk
2012-09-19
People are faced with thousands of choices every day, some inane and some risky. Scientists know that the areas of the brain that evaluate risk are the same for each person, but what makes the value assigned to risk different for individuals? To answer this question, a new video article in Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE) uses functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to characterize subjective risk assessment while subjects choose between different lotteries to play. The article, a joint effort from laboratories at Yale School of Medicine and New York University, ...
Nearly half of kidney recipients in live donor transplant chains are minorities
2012-09-19
The largest U.S. multicenter study of living kidney transplant donor chains showed that 46 percent of recipients are minorities, a finding that allays previous fears that these groups would be disadvantaged by expansion of the donor pool through this type of exchange process.
The study of a series of chain transplantations performed from February 2008 to June 2011 at 57 centers nationwide included 272 kidney transplants that paired organ donors who were incompatible with their relatives with strangers providing organs for altruistic reasons or with others donating an ...
