ISPIM 2012 -- KISTEP Jorn Bang Andersen about The Grand Social Challenges
I met Jorn within the KISTEP event during IPSIM 2012. Jorg is member of the nordic Innovation Organization. Jorg gave an excellent speech about Innovation Fund Programs in Europe facing the problem of fragmentation (research per country) and remembered the great upcoming problems in the future. Sustainability, Water, Energy, Billions of People... He pointed out that these issues can not be solved even by the biggest companies: the intrinsic social challenge. There is only ONE chance: To solve it together! Genetics, Bio-Science, Material-Science, and all other disciplines acting on a global coordinated level. Very insightful and challenging at the same time! Must See! http://www.nordicinnovation.orgFrom:fabsinnovationtvViews:0 0ratingsTime:05:32More inScience Technology

Hacking the Human brain and super soldiers
Transhumanism gone wild. Nothing about this is pretty and within the fractured minds of these futurists is a desire to achieve a result that is already inherit within the human, "high spirituality", which one can access now by simply deciding to love unconditionally. Sounds hokey I know. Here #39;s one reporters take on this below: The Human Connectome Project (HCP) is dedicated to "understanding the complete details of neural connectivity." They endeavor to "construct a map of the complete structural and functional neural connections in vivo within and across individuals." By compiling data on genetics, behavior, matter fiber pathways, and functional correlations, the HCP have refined and optimized "the spatial and functional resolution of our connectome neuroimaging" as well as acquiring "high resolution neuroimaging data" to enhance understanding of the "neuroanatomical connectedness of the human brain." Advancing biometrics with neurological augmentations would result in successful connectivity of the human brain to robotic systems in a literal sense. AutoNOMOS Labs have developed an iPad app that allows users to order their car to drive. After a few modifications, the technology can control the car through the brain of the driver. A software program called BrainDriver interprets and records information just as an EEG which can be understood and translated into intentions which are then played out by the vehicle.

Targeting Oncogenic Pathways in Head and Neck Cancer
Air date: Wednesday, December 12, 2012, 3:00:00 PM Description: Margaret Pittman Lecture Dr. Jennifer R. Grandis was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pa. She earned her BA in art history and biology from Swarthmore College and her medical degree with high honors from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. She completed her internship in general surgery and her residency in otolaryngology at the University of Pittsburgh. During her training she began to focus her studies on the biology of head and neck tumor growth. She has dedicated her research career to the study of the critical genetic alterations that characterize these cancers, with the ultimate goal of improving patient treatment and survival. Her laboratory was among the first to validate the epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR) and Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription (STATs) as therapeutic targets in head and neck cancer (HNC), thus paving the way for studies in other cancers. EGFR serves as a central integration point for coordination of a broad array of cellular signals. She demonstrated that G-protein-coupled receptors(GPCRs) "transactivate" EGFR contributing to HNC progression. Each of these basic science observations has been translated into clinical trials. She developed an antisense gene therapy approach targeting EGFR and completed a phase 1 study that found a high clinical response rate (35%), which correlated with decreased EGFR expression in the post-treatment biopsies ...From:nihvcastViews:5 0ratingsTime:50:28More inScience Technology

How To Be Vegan: Answering Questions
How To Be Vegan: Answering Questions * Why? Animal compassion / rights, health, environment etc. * What do you eat? Vegan versions of "regular" food, ethnic food, fruit / vegetables / grain / nuts / seeds etc. * Where do you get your protein from? Plant based food contains all the amino acids to make protein. * Where do you get your calcium from? Green leafy vegetables are a great source of calcium. * Isn #39;t it expensive? Some of the meat substitutes / specialty items can be a little pricy, but fruit / vegetables / grain / nuts / seeds etc are pretty cheap. * Do you eat fish? I #39;m not sure why this questions comes up, but no. * Do you eat honey? No, I don #39;t. Vegans who eat honey are called "beegans". Agave nectar is a good honey substitute. * How long have you been vegan? This is a personal answer. I just tell them how long I #39;ve been vegan. * Were you raised vegan? No, my family thinks I #39;m crazy. * Are you going to raise your kids vegan? This is a personal answer and depends on the parents. Many people say they won #39;t feed their kids animal products, but it #39;s their choice (like when they #39;re at a friend #39;s or when they get older). * What if you were stranded on an island and had to eat meat to survive? I doubt I #39;ll ever be in that situation. Most people would do what it takes to survive. * Wouldn #39;t cows take over the world if everyone went vegan overnight?

Chapter 2 - The Simple Truth
Obesity Levels in America Climb To Record Heights Obesity is a condition that is the result of excessive body fat accumulation. It is most often caused by overeating combined with little or no physical activity. It can also be the result of genetics, medications or other disorders. Obesity is determined by the body mass index, or BMI. BMI is calculated by dividing weight by the number of inches in height squared. This figure is multiplied by 703 to get the percentage of body fat. In most cases a BMI of over 30 percent is considered obese for an average adult. Unfortunately, obesity has become extremely common in the United States, where over 37 percent of adults have this condition. The consequences of this epidemic are very serious for many reasons. Obesity greatly increases the chances of a long list of health problems and, depending on the disease, can even result in death. Obesity commonly increases the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes, two very serious medical conditions. In addition, obesity can cause sleep apnea, a condition that obstructs the airway during sleep. Asthma, osteoarthritis and cancer are among other conditions that have been linked to obesity. Such serious health problems place a burden on the patient as well as family and friends. Among the many other serious problems due to obesity include its high financial costs. Hospitalization, medication, missed days from work and other issues stemming from obesity related conditions rise each year.

Washington, December 15 (ANI): Researchers have discovered a new gene mechanism that appears to regulate triglyceride levels.

This pathway may protect carriers of a gene variant against cardiovascular disease, especially among those with greater intakes of polyunsaturated fat (PUFA).

The findings by scientists at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging (HNRCA) at Tufts University contribute to research efforts to develop gene-specific diets that could potentially improve general health and complement chronic disease prevention and treatment.

The authors analyzed data from more than 27,000 men and women enrolled in ten epidemiological studies conducted in the United States and Europe that comprise the Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology (CHARGE) Consortium.

Focusing on the Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) rs13702, they observed that a type of small RNA known as microRNA (miR), impacts production of lipoprotein lipase (LPL), an enzyme that mediates the metabolism of circulating triglycerides.

"We saw no miR activity in carriers of the gene variant," senior author Jose M. Ordovas from Tufts University said.

"In the majority of the subjects the miR appeared to attach to the messenger RNA (mRNA), slowing down the manufacturing of LPL. Without that interference, people with the variant would presumably have more LPL available to breakdown excess triglycerides and prevent them from being deposited in the arteries, which could eventually lead to atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases," Ordovas said.

The authors also noted that lower triglyceride levels and higher concentrations of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, the so-called "healthy" cholesterol in association with the gene variant.

Furthermore, carriers tended to have even lower triglyceride blood levels if they had higher PUFA intake.

"Based on the data, carriers of the gene variant may be able to further reduce their risk for cardiovascular disease by increasing their PUFA intake," Kris Richardson from Tufts University said.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Gene Bregman has become a phenomenon and a sensation with his nearly perfect predictions each presidential race. In order to make his predictions and editorials more accessible, a new website has been created with poll predictions, opinion pieces, and editorials that will be updated continuously with articles and news items written by Gene Bregman.

Building on his outstanding record, as well as years of experience, Gene is sharing his inside knowledge and talent through this new political website and blog. Due to his lifelong career as a Democratic pollster, the site is called "Political Blue Gene" to reflect his personality and candid point of view. It will be regularly updated with Gene's perspective on the current political scene, including some commonly discussed issues and some that are not so commonly discussed.

The site -- http://www.PoliticalBlueGene.com -- has been created as a resource and knowledge base for fans of Gene Bregman's writings and predictions. This site will be an added resource and benefit to all the growing followers of Gene's work.

About Gene Bregman

Gene Bregman has been a pollster based in California for more than 30 years. In the 2012 Presidential race, he correctly predicted 50 out of 51 states (plus DC), missing only Florida. He correctly predicted all but one of the US Senate races, missing only Heide Heitkamp's victory in North Dakota (Nate Silver missed 2 - Heitkamp and Jon Tester in Montana). In 2008, Gene predicted all states correctly except for Indiana. In 2004, Gene predicted all correctly except for Ohio. In 2000, Gene predicted all correctly except for New Hampshire and maybe Florida (he picked Gore).

Although he and his firm now work mostly on ballot measure campaigns (including helping more than 125 California school and community college districts), during Gene Bregman's career he has conducted polling for Dianne Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi (her first campaign for Congress), John Burton and others. He has also conducted polls and other public opinion research for clients as diverse as Compaq Computers and the San Francisco Health Department. In 2012, Gene Bregman & Associates' clients placed 11 local tax-related measures on the ballot and all were successful.

Playing God with Corn - Does it work? - VOA Health Report in Special English
Scientists Dispute Study of Genetically Modified Corn 11/01/2012 From VOA Learning English, this is the Health Report in Special English. Scientists are criticizing a study that said laboratory rats developed tumors after they ate genetically modified corn. The research appears in the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology and includes pictures of rats with large tumors. The study said the animals developed the growths after two years of being fed genetically changed maize. Gilles-Eric Seralini from the University of Caen in French was the lead author. "GM foods have been evaluated in an extremely poor and lax way with much less analysis than we have done," he says. Several French scientific organizations and the European Food Safety Authority disputed the study. Alan McHughen of the University of California, Riverside, is a genetic expert with the National Academy of Sciences in the United States. "First of all, the authors of the study used a line of rats that was genetically predisposed to form tumors in the first place. So right off the bat the whole study was suspect." At the University of California, Davis, toxicologist Alison van Eenennaam suggested that the study was an attempt to scare the public. "I think it was a cynical ploy to exploit the scientific process to create fear in the minds of consumers." Even opponents of genetic engineering agree there were some problems with the study methods. Michael Hansen with the group Consumers Union says there should be more ...From:ListenAndReadAlongViews:0 1ratingsTime:04:09More inEducation
