LEXINGTON, KY, February 18, 2013 (Press-News.org) Residents in suburban neighborhoods are not accustom to seeing miniature "pet cheetahs" walking around. Calling the local fish and wildlife authorities thinking a bobcat might be on the prowl they are unaware the breed thrives on human interaction and behave, for the most part, like your average domestic cat breed. Michelle Mills, owner of F1Hybrids Savannahs, responded;
"Savannahs have no relation to a Bobcat, Leopard, or Ocelot, nor the body type or pattern of any of those breeds. The greatest differentiation is the temperament of a Savannah compared to a pure exotic. Captivating the exotic looks and traits combined with a lovable domestic temperament is the whole point of the breed!"
Unique traits are an oversimplification when it comes to this feline. The elongated legs glide gracefully across the living room and reveal a possible six foot vertical leap straight into the atmosphere. Then suddenly it's ears twitch with sonar like hearing and they are dashing off in search of the sound. At the end of play you'll find the Savannah curled up at your feet.
"It inspires me to hear a customer say how much interactive intelligence, loyalty and love they get from their Savannah. As a breed, they are highly intelligent and active so they need someone who can keep up. If an irresponsible owner does not take care of this beautiful animal they can have issues just like owning a high energy dog breed. Breeders are meant to support and guide you to success and with that help you should have a very happy life with you kitten."
F1Hybrids Savannah Cats specialized in well socialized savannah kittens for approved pet homes.

Quantum devices: Building an innovative future for Canada
2013-02-17
February 17 – Boston, MA – Quantum information processing promises not only breakthroughs for computing, communications and cryptography, but it can also help us devise tools for navigating and controlling the nano-scale world. Sensors that operate according to quantum mechanics may achieve sensitivity, selectivity, precision and robustness far beyond their classical counterparts.
Canada Excellence Research Chair David Cory from the University of Waterloo's Institute for Quantum Computing will be in Boston for the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual ...
A new way of looking at drug discovery
2013-02-17
PHILADELPHIA - Garret FitzGerald, MD, FRS, chair of the Department of Pharmacology and Director of the Institute for Translational Medicine & Therapeutics, Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, has long said the current drug-development system in the United States is in need of change, "representing an unsustainable model."
Even though the number of drugs approved has risen in the last three years, overall, roughly the same number of drugs have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) each year since 1950 while the estimated cost, ...
Brown University scientists to discuss resilience of coastal communities at AAAS
2013-02-17
Hurricane Sandy was a fearsome reminder that coastal communities are highly vulnerable to extreme weather events and environmental variability, and that vulnerability is only expected to increase with climate change. Brown University scientists Heather Leslie and Leila Sievanen, members of an interdisciplinary research team focused on human-environment interactions in coastal regions, will discuss these challenges this month at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Boston.
Leslie and Sievanen will participate in a symposium ...
Rice University analysis links ozone levels, cardiac arrest
2013-02-17
BOSTON – (Feb. 17, 2013) – Researchers at Rice University in Houston have found a direct correlation between out-of-hospital cardiac arrests and levels of air pollution and ozone. Their work has prompted more CPR training in at-risk communities.
Rice statisticians Katherine Ensor and Loren Raun announced their findings today at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) conference in Boston.
Their research, based on a massive data set unique to Houston, is due to be published in the American Heart Association journal Circulation.
At the same AAAS ...
Briefing explores associations between air pollution and health outcomes
2013-02-17
ATLANTA- Lance Waller, PhD, chair of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics at Emory's Rollins School of Public Health, will present preliminary work that explores relationships between high-levels of air pollution exposure and health effects at a press briefing hosted by the American Association for the Advancement of Science on February 17, at 2 p.m. EST, in Boston.
During the briefing, Waller will summarize his joint work with the Southeastern Center for Air Pollution Epidemiology (SCAPE), funded by the Environmental Protection Agency. SCAPE tests air pollution levels ...
In the blink of an eye: X-ray imaging on the attosecond timescale
2013-02-17
In the blink of an eye, more attoseconds have expired than the age of Earth measured in – minutes. A lot more. To be precise, an attosecond is one billionth of a billionth of a second. The attosecond timescale is where you must go to study the electron action that is the starting point of all of chemistry. Not surprisingly, chemists are most eager to explore it with X-rays, the region of the electromagnetic spectrum that can probe the core electrons of atoms, the electrons that uniquely identify atomic species.
Heralded as the science of the 21st century by Science and ...
Thirsty crops and hungry people: Symposium to examine realities of water security
2013-02-17
You may have guzzled a half-liter bottle of water at lunchtime, but your food and clothes drank a lot more. The same half-liter that quenched your thirst also produces only about one square-inch of bread or one square-inch of cotton cloth.
Agriculture is in fact one of the world's most insatiable consumers of water. And yet it's facing growing competition for water from cities, industry, and recreation at a time when demand for food is rising, and water is expected to become increasingly scarce. Take irrigation, for example, says Fred Vocasek, senior lab agronomist with ...

PRESENTATION TITLE: A Vision for Excelling in Mental Health and Well-Being
We all know the importance of keeping healthy and are familiar with the refrains of 'exercise more', 'eat better' and 'get regular physicals'. But what about our mental health? Professor Barbara Sahakian, best known for her expertise on cognitive enhancers, challenges society (and government) to prioritise mental health in the same way as we do physical health.
"As a society, we take our mental health for granted," said Prof Sahakian. "But just like our bodies, it is important to keep our brains ...
Media advisory: AAAS session addresses infrastructure design in a changing climate
2013-02-17
DURHAM, N.H. – As our climate changes, the way we engineer our cities must, too. That's the message that University of New Hampshire professor Paul Kirshen, an author of a recent report that assessed Boston's vulnerability to coastal flooding, will deliver at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Annual Meeting February 14-18, 2013, in Boston.
Kirshen will speak about water infrastructure management under a changing climate at the "Effective Science for Community Adaptation to Climate Change" session Sunday morning, Feb. 17 (8:30 – 11:30 a.m., ...
Forging a new periodic table using nanostructures
2013-02-17
Northwestern University's Chad A. Mirkin, a world-renowned leader in nanotechnology research and its application, has developed a completely new set of building blocks that is based on nanoparticles and DNA. Using these tools, scientists will be able to build -- from the bottom up, just as nature does -- new and useful structures.
Mirkin will discuss his research in a session titled "Nucleic Acid-Modified Nanostructures as Programmable Atom Equivalents: Forging a New Periodic Table" at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) annual meeting in Boston. ...
