Many physicians and parents report that their autistic children have unusually severe gastrointestinal problems, such as chronic constipation or diarrhea. These observations have led some researchers to speculate that an ailing gut contributes to the disorder in some cases, but scientific data has been lacking. Now, a provocative study claims that a probiotic treatment for gastrointestinal issues can reduce autismlike symptoms in mice and suggests that this treatment could work for humans, too. The reported incidence of gut maladies in people with autism varies wildly between published studies—from zero to more than 80%—making it difficult to establish just how commonly the two conditions go together, says principal investigator Sarkis Mazmanian, a microbiologist at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena. Overall, however, the evidence seems to point toward a connection. Last year, for example, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study of thousands of children with developmental disabilities found that kids with autism were twice as likely as children with other types of disorders to have frequent diarrhea or colitis, an inflammation of the large intestine. For many years, Mazmanian and his and colleagues have been studying the effects of a nontoxic strain of the bacterium Bacteroides fragilis on diseases such as Crohn's disease, which causes intestinal inflammation and allows potentially harmful substances that should pass out of the body to leak through junctions between cells that are normally tight. Although the researchers don't understand the mechanism, the bacterium appears to restore the damaged gut, possibly by helping close these gaps. © 2013 American Association for the Advancement of Science.

By Dana Smith Daniel Tammet has memorized Pi to the 22,514th digit. He speaks ten different languages, including one of his own invention, and he can multiply enormous sums in his head within a matter of seconds. However, he is unable to hold down a standard 9-to-5 job, in part due to his obsessive adherence to ritual, down to the precise times he has his tea every day. Daniel is a savant. He is also autistic. And he is a synesthete. Daniel experiences numbers as having color, as well as shape and texture. This helps him perform amazing mathematical feats seemingly without effort, the answer simply materializing to him rather than having to calculate it out. In an interview he gave with The Guardian, Daniel explained, "When I multiply numbers together, I see two shapes. The image starts to change and evolve, and a third shape emerges. That's the answer. It's mental imagery. It's like maths without having to think." Clearly this man has an extraordinary brain. However, Daniel is perhaps not entirely unique, and it appears that the link between autism and synesthesia is more common than originally thought. This suggests that there is a potential common mechanism between these two conditions, which may even help to explain some of Daniel's special savant abilities. A new study published in the journal Molecular Autism from a team of researchers at the University of Cambridge now empirically shows that there is an almost three-fold higher occurrence of synesthesia in individuals with autism (18.9%), compared with that of the general population (7.2%). This increased prevalence implies that there is indeed a significant link between autism and synesthesia. © 2013 Scientific American

Helen Shen Dyslexia may be caused by impaired connections between auditory and speech centres of the brain, according to a study published today in Science1. The research could help to resolve conflicting theories about the root causes of the disorder, and lead to targeted interventions. When people learn to read, their brains make connections between written symbols and components of spoken words. But people with dyslexia seem to have difficulty identifying and manipulating the speech sounds to be linked to written symbols. Researchers have long debated whether the underlying representations of these sounds are disrupted in the dyslexic brain, or whether they are intact but language-processing centres are simply unable to access them properly. A team led by Bart Boets, a clinical psychologist at the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium, analysed brain scans and found that phonetic representations of language remain intact in adults with dyslexia, but may be less accessible than in controls because of deficits in brain connectivity. "The authors took a really inventive and thoughtful approach," says John Gabrieli, a neuroscientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts. "They got a pretty clear answer." Communication channels Boets and his team used a technique called multivoxel pattern analysis to study fine-scale brain signals as people listened to a battery of linguistic fragments such as 'ba' and 'da'. To the researchers' surprise, neural activity in the primary and secondary auditory cortices of participants with dyslexia showed consistently distinct signals for different sounds. © 2013 Nature Publishing Group

by Bob Holmes Perseverance in the face of adversity is an admirable character trait – now it turns out you can conjure it up with a quick zap to a tiny spot in the brain. The discovery in two people with epilepsy was accidental but it is the first to show that simple brain stimulation can create rich, complex alterations of consciousness. Josef Parvizi, a neurologist at Stanford University in California, and his colleagues had implanted electrodes in the brains of two people with epilepsy to help identify the source of their seizures. In the course of their work, they noticed that an odd thing happened when they stimulated a region in the anterior midcingulate cortex – a part of the limbic system involved in emotion, processing, learning and memory. Both patients reported feeling a sense of foreboding, coupled with a determination to overcome whatever challenge they were about to face. During the stimulation, one patient reported feeling "worried that something bad is going to happen" but also noted that "it made me stronger". The other said he felt as if he were figuring out how to get through something. He likened it to driving your car when one of the tires bursts. You're only halfway to your destination and you have no option but to keep going forward. "You're like… am I gonna get through this?" he said (see video). He also reported a sense of urgency: "It was more of a positive thing like… push harder, push harder, push harder to try and get through this." One singular sensation In contrast, when the researchers applied a sham stimulation – going through exactly the same procedure, but with the current set to zero – neither volunteer reported feeling any specific sensations. Stimulation of other nearby regions of the brain less than 5 millimetres away also failed to produce the feelings of either foreboding or perseverance. © Copyright Reed Business Information Ltd.

By Julia Calderone As we sat in my car outside a silent movie theater in Los Angeles, my friend anxiously opened a plastic bag containing a white T-shirt she'd slept in for the past three nights. "Does it smell like me?" she asked nervously, gesturing the open end toward my face. I stuck my nose into the bag and inhaled. We were about to attend a pheromone-based speed dating party with the following rules: 1. Find a clean white T-shirt. 2. Sleep in only that shirt for three consecutive nights. 3. Bring the shirt to the party sealed in a bag. As we walked into the theater, coordinators assigned each of our bags a unique color-coded sticker (pink for female, blue for male), and tossed them into a pile. A pack of hipsters nursing PBRs sat in the wooden theater seats, slightly amused by the bizarre 70s Egyptian-themed silent porn projected onto the screen. In the courtyard, 20-somethings mingled by the outdoor bar. Did they think alcohol would make us okay with sniffing strangers' dirty laundry? Mounds of bags sat on two long tables – beckoning our nostrils. We were instructed to sniff as many T-shirts of the sex we were attracted to, and select shirts that innately smelled the sexiest. I came across bag number 166, which shockingly smelled exactly like my grandmother's house – a delightful mix of Christmas and chicken parmesan. The point was to trust our instincts, right? I went with it. © 2013 Scientific American

By NICHOLAS BAKALAR A high body mass and a large waist are both associated with self-reported hearing loss, a new study has found. Researchers used data from a 20-year prospective study of 68,421 women who were25 to 42 years old at the start. After controlling for age, smoking, diabetes, hypertension and other factors, they found that the higher the body mass index, the greater the risk for hearing loss. Compared with women with a B.M.I. under 25, those with an index of 25 to 29 had an 8 percent increased risk. The numbers kept going up in tandem: 11 percent for 30 to 34, 16 percent for 35 to 39 and 19 percent for those above 40. The increasing risk associated with larger waist circumference followed a similar pattern. The study, published in the December issue of The American Journal of Medicine, found that moderate physical activity — as little as four hours of walking a week — also reduced the risk for hearing loss. Researchers found no further advantage in more vigorous exercise. The lead author, Dr. Sharon G. Curhan, a clinical researcher at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, suggested that obesity might compromise blood flow to the inner ear, and that exercise might improve it, which could explain the associations. "Hearing loss may not be an inevitable part of growing older," she said. "There may be things we can do to prevent it." Copyright 2013 The New York Times Company

By Helen Briggs BBC News An anti-tuberculosis vaccine could prevent multiple sclerosis, early research suggests. A small-scale study by researchers at the Sapienza University of Rome has raised hopes that the disease can be warded off when early symptoms appear. More research is needed before the BCG vaccine can be trialled on MS patients. The MS Society said the chance to take a safe and effective preventative treatment after a first MS-like attack would be a huge step forward. MS is a disease affecting nerves in the brain and spinal cord, causing problems with muscle movement, balance and vision. Early signs include numbness, vision difficulties or problems with balance. About half of people with a first episode of symptoms go on to develop MS within two years, while 10% have no more problems. In the study, published in the journal Neurology, Italian researchers gave 33 people who had early signs of MS an injection of BCG vaccine. The other 40 individuals in the study were given a placebo. After five years, 30% of those who received the placebo had not developed MS, compared with 58% of those vaccinated. "These results are promising, but much more research needs to be done to learn more about the safety and long-term effects of this live vaccine," said study leader Dr Giovanni Ristori. "Doctors should not start using this vaccine to treat MS or clinically isolated syndrome." BBC © 2013

Philip Ball Some animals, like some people, are more aggressive than others: it is just the way they are. But research suggests that for birds at least, it is not always easy to tell which is which. Some birds are inclined to give out exaggerated signs of their aggressiveness, others to underplay it. It is rather like the menacing biker who turns out to be a pussycat, or the geek who will break a bottle over your head. But the analogy with humans goes only so far, because many birds announce their aggression about mating and territory not by appearance but through song and gesture. For example, behavioural ecologist Michael Beecher and his colleagues at the University of Washington in Seattle have observed how the song sparrow (Melospiza melodia) indicates its intention to attack a dummy bird (see video above) or a loudspeaker playing bird songs by either vocalizing distinctive 'soft songs' or waving its wings (see video below), both of which are perceived as threatening1. Violent tendencies Both aggressive signalling and the ensuing violent behaviour vary from one bird to another, in a way that correlates with other personality traits such as boldness2. But these attributes also vary for a single individual at different times: birds can have particularly grouchy or placid days. Nonetheless, the degree of aggression implied by the precursory signals generally reflects the actual behaviour, in what evolutionary biologists call an honest signal. But it's not always honest. Earlier this year, Beecher's team showed1 that there is some variability in aggressive signalling that does not match behaviour: a bird might act stroppy but not follow through with an attack. © 2013 Nature Publishing Group

By CARL ZIMMER Scientists have found the oldest DNA evidence yet of humans' biological history. But instead of neatly clarifying human evolution, the finding is adding new mysteries. In a paper in the journal Nature, scientists reported Wednesday that they had retrieved ancient human DNA from a fossil dating back about 400,000 years, shattering the previous record of 100,000 years. The fossil, a thigh bone found in Spain, had previously seemed to many experts to belong to a forerunner of Neanderthals. But its DNA tells a very different story. It most closely resembles DNA from an enigmatic lineage of humans known as Denisovans. Until now, Denisovans were known only from DNA retrieved from 80,000-year-old remains in Siberia, 4,000 miles east of where the new DNA was found. The mismatch between the anatomical and genetic evidence surprised the scientists, who are now rethinking human evolution over the past few hundred thousand years. It is possible, for example, that there are many extinct human populations that scientists have yet to discover. They might have interbred, swapping DNA. Scientists hope that further studies of extremely ancient human DNA will clarify the mystery. "Right now, we've basically generated a big question mark," said Matthias Meyer, a geneticist at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, and a co-author of the new study. Hints at new hidden complexities in the human story came from a 400,000-year-old femur found in a cave in Spain called Sima de los Huesos ("the pit of bones" in Spanish). The scientific team used new methods to extract the ancient DNA from the fossil. "This would not have been possible even a year ago," said Juan Luis Arsuaga, a paleoanthropologist at Universidad Complutense de Madrid and a co-author of the paper. © 2013 The New York Times Company

By Neuroskeptic This morning, the world woke up to the news that Scientists discover the difference between male and female brains Britain's Independent today actually made that their front page. They went on to discuss "the hardwired difference that could explain why men are 'better at map reading'". The rest of the world's media were no less excited. Well. I don't have time to get into criticizing the media or decrying gender stereotypes, so let's just stick to the science. The study in question, published in PNAS, is called Sex differences in the structural connectome of the human brain. The authors used diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to estimate the integrity of the white matter tracts going in various directions at each point in the brain. In a large sample of 428 males and 521 females aged from 8 to 22, they report sex differences in the pattern of white matter connectivity. In general, the female brains were 'more connected' than the male, except in the cerebellum: here's the plot for a summary measure, the Participation Coefficient. I have two issues with this: Head Motion. A perennial Neuroskeptic favorite, this one. A paper just last week showed convincingly that even modest amounts of head movement during the MRI scan causes changes in DTI. Various commentators on Twitter and elsewhere swiftly pointed out that it's not implausible that men and women might move different amounts on average, so that might account for at least some of these results.

People with dementia who exercise improve their thinking abilities and everyday life, a body of medical research concludes. The Cochrane Collaboration carried out a systematic review of eight exercise trials involving more than 300 patients living at home or in care. Exercise did little for patients' moods, the research concluded. But it did help them carry out daily activities such as rising from a chair, and boosted their cognitive skills. Whether these benefits improve quality of life is still unclear, but the study authors say the findings are reason for optimism. Dementia affects some 800,000 people in the UK. And the number of people with the condition is steadily increasing because people are living longer. It is estimated that by 2021, the number of people with dementia in the UK will have increased to around one million. With no cure, ways to improve the lives of those living with the condition are vital. Researcher Dorothy Forbes, of the University of Alberta, and colleagues who carried out the Cochrane review, said: "Clearly, further research is needed to be able to develop best practice guidelines to enable healthcare providers to advise people with dementia living at home or in institutions. "We also need to understand what level and intensity of exercise is beneficial for someone with dementia." BBC © 2013

By James Gallagher Health and science reporter, BBC News The number of people living with dementia worldwide is set to treble by 2050, according to a new analysis. Alzheimer's Disease International says 44 million people live with the disease, but that figure will increase to 135 million by 2050. The figures were released ahead of the G8 dementia summit in London next week. In the UK, dementia research receives one eighth of the amount of funding that is spent on cancer, which charities say is insufficient. Alzheimer's Disease International expects increasing life expectancies to drive a surge in cases in poor and middle-income countries, particularly in South East Asia and Africa. Currently 38% of cases are in rich countries. But that balance is predicted shift significantly by 2050, with 71% of patients being in poor and middle-income countries. The report says most governments are "woefully unprepared for the dementia epidemic". Marc Wortmann, the executive director at Alzheimer Disease International, said: "It's a global epidemic and it is only getting worse - if we look into the future the numbers of elderly people will rise dramatically." Jeremy Hughes, chief executive of the UK's Alzheimer's Society, said: "Dementia is fast becoming the biggest health and social care challenge of this generation. "We must tackle dementia now, for those currently living with the condition across the world and for those millions who will develop dementia in the future. BBC © 2013

Ian Sample, science correspondent Scientists have drawn on nearly 1,000 brain scans to confirm what many had surely concluded long ago: that stark differences exist in the wiring of male and female brains. Maps of neural circuitry showed that on average women's brains were highly connected across the left and right hemispheres, in contrast to men's brains, where the connections were typically stronger between the front and back regions. Ragini Verma, a researcher at the University of Pennsylvania, said the greatest surprise was how much the findings supported old stereotypes, with men's brains apparently wired more for perception and co-ordinated actions, and women's for social skills and memory, making them better equipped for multitasking. "If you look at functional studies, the left of the brain is more for logical thinking, the right of the brain is for more intuitive thinking. So if there's a task that involves doing both of those things, it would seem that women are hardwired to do those better," Verma said. "Women are better at intuitive thinking. Women are better at remembering things. When you talk, women are more emotionally involved – they will listen more." She added: "I was surprised that it matched a lot of the stereotypes that we think we have in our heads. If I wanted to go to a chef or a hairstylist, they are mainly men." The findings come from one of the largest studies to look at how brains are wired in healthy males and females. The maps give scientists a more complete picture of what counts as normal for each sex at various ages. Armed with the maps, they hope to learn more about whether abnormalities in brain connectivity affect brain disorders such as schizophrenia and depression. © 2013 Guardian News and Media Limited

By PAM BELLUCK Scientists have been eager to see if oxytocin, which plays a role in emotional bonding, trust and many biological processes, can improve social behavior in people with autism. Some parents of children with autism have asked doctors to prescribe it, although it is not an approved treatment for autism, or have purchased lower-dose versions of the drug over the counter. Scientifically, the jury is out, and experts say parents should wait until more is known. Some studies suggest that oxytocin, sometimes called the "love hormone," improves the ability to empathize and connect socially, and may decrease repetitive behaviors. Others find little or no impact, and some research suggests that it can promote clannish and competitive feelings, or exacerbate symptoms in people already oversensitive to social cues. Importantly, nobody knows if oxytocin is safe or desirable to use regularly or long term. Now, the first study of how oxytocin affects the brains of children with autism finds hints of promise — and also suggestions of what its limitations might be. On the promising side, the small study, published Monday in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found that the hormone, given as an inhalant, generated increased activity in parts of the brain involved in social connection. This suggests not only that oxytocin can stimulate social brain areas, but also that in children with autism these brain regions are not irrevocably damaged but are plastic enough to be influenced. The limitations could include a finding that oxytocin prompted greater brain activity in children with the least severe autism. Some experts said that this could imply that oxytocin may work primarily in less-impaired people, but others said it might simply suggest that different doses are needed. © 2013 The New York Times Company

by Laura Sanders Last Sunday, the Giants battled the Redskins in our living room, and there was no bigger fan than 9-month-old Baby V. Unlike her father, she was not interested in RG3's shortcomings. The tiny, colorful guys running around on a bright green field, the psychedelic special effects and the bursts of noise drew her in like a moth to a 42-inch high-definition flame. My friends with kids have noticed the same screen fascination in their little ones. Like adults, kids love colorful, shiny, moving screens. The problem, of course, is that watching TV probably isn't the best way for little kids to spend their time. Long bouts in front of the tube have been linked to obesity, weaker attention spans and aggression in kids. Now, a new study of Japanese children has linked TV time with changes in the growing brains, effects that have been harder to spot. And the more television a kid watches, the more profound the brain differences, scientists report November 20 in Cerebral Cortex. Researchers studied kids between age 5 and 18 who watched between zero and four hours of television a day. On average, the kids watched TV for about two hours a day. Brain scans revealed that the more television a kid watched, the larger certain parts of the brain were. Gray matter volume was higher in regions toward the front and side of the head in kids who watched a lot of TV. Say that again? Watching television boosts brain volume? Before you rejoice and fire up Season 1 of Breaking Bad, keep in mind: Bigger isn't always better. In this case, higher brain volume in these kids was associated with a lower verbal IQ. Study coauthor Hikaru Takeuchi Tohoku University in Japan says that these brain areas need to be pruned during childhood to operate efficiently. © Society for Science & the Public 2000 - 2013.

by Bob Holmes Dying cells may play only a small role in the brain decline that accompanies ageing. That is the suggestion from the first computer simulation of brain function that can solve intelligence tests almost as well as university undergraduates. The model promises to reveal how our brains and behaviour are affected by age, and might even offer a way of testing drugs that compensate for cognitive decline. Psychologists have known for many years that our ability to think through novel problems – our "fluid intelligence" – gradually declines with age. However, the reasons for this decline aren't clear, because many features of the brain change as we age: neurons die; connections become sparser between regions of the brain and between individual brain cells; and our mental representation of different concepts becomes less distinct, among other changes. So far, psychologists have been unable to tease apart these possible explanations for cognitive decline. Enter Chris Eliasmith, a theoretical neuroscientist at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, and his student Daniel Rasmussen. The pair used a computer to simulate the behaviour of about 35,000 individual brain cells wired together in a biologically realistic way. Just like a real brain, their model encoded information as a pattern of electrical activity in particular sets of cells. The researchers set up the system to solve a widely used intelligence test known as Raven's Progressive Matrices, which involves predicting what abstract symbol comes next in a sequence. © Copyright Reed Business Information Ltd.

This morning, an animal rights group known as the Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP) filed a lawsuit in a New York Supreme Court in an attempt to get a judge to declare that chimpanzees are legal persons and should be freed from captivity. The suit is the first of three to be filed in three New York counties this week. They target two research chimps at Stony Brook University and two chimps on private property, and are the opening salvo in a coordinated effort to grant "legal personhood" to a variety of animals across the United States. If NhRP is successful in New York, it could be a significant step toward upending millennia of law defining animals as property and could set off a "chain reaction" that could bleed over to other jurisdictions, says Richard Cupp, a law professor at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California, and a proponent of focusing on animal welfare rather than animal rights. "But if they lose it could be a significant step backward for the movement. They're playing with fire." The litigation has been in the works since 2007, when animal rights attorney Steven Wise founded NhRP, an association of about 60 lawyers, scientists, and policy experts. The group argues that cognitively advanced animals like chimpanzees and dolphins are so self-aware that keeping them in captivity—whether a zoo or research laboratory—is tantamount to slavery. "It's a terrible torture we inflict on them, and it has to stop," Wise says. "And all of human law says the way things stop is when courts and legislatures recognize that the being imprisoned is a legal person." NhRP spent 5 years researching the best legal strategy—and best jurisdiction—for its first cases. The upshot: a total of three lawsuits to be filed in three New York trial courts this week on behalf of four resident chimpanzees. © 2013 American Association for the Advancement of Science

To expedite research on brain disorders, the National Institutes of Health is shifting from a limited funding role to coordinating a Web-based resource for sharing post-mortem brain tissue. Under a NIH NeuroBioBank initiative, five brain banks will begin collaborating in a tissue sharing network for the neuroscience community. "Instead of having to seek out brain tissue needed for a study from scattered repositories, researchers will have one-stop access to the specimens they need," explained Thomas Insel, M.D., director of NIH's National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), one of three NIH institutes underwriting the project. "Such efficiency has become even more important with recent breakthrough technologies, such as CLARITY and resources such as BrainSpan that involve the use of human tissue." Historically, NIH institutes have awarded investigator-initiated grants to support disease-specific brain bank activities. The NIH NeuroBioBank instead employs contracts, which affords the agency a more interactive role. Contracts totaling about $4.7 million for the 2013 fiscal year were awarded to brain banks at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York City; Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass., the University of Miami; Sepulveda Research Corporation, Los Angeles; and the University of Pittsburgh. These brain and tissue repositories seek out and accept brain donations, store the tissue, and distribute it to qualified researchers seeking to understand the causes of – and identify treatments and cures for – brain disorders, such as schizophrenia, multiple sclerosis, depression, epilepsy, Down syndrome and autism.

By KRISTIN WARTMAN THE solution to one of America's most vexing problems — our soaring rates of obesity and diet-related diseases — may have its roots in early childhood, and even in utero. Researchers at the Monell Chemical Senses Center, a nonprofit research organization in Philadelphia, have found that babies born to mothers who eat a diverse and varied diet while pregnant and breast-feeding are more open to a wide range of flavors. They've also found that babies who follow that diet after weaning carry those preferences into childhood and adulthood. Researchers believe that the taste preferences that develop at crucial periods in infancy have lasting effects for life. In fact, changing food preferences beyond toddlerhood appears to be extremely difficult. "What's really interesting about children is, the preferences they form during the first years of life actually predict what they'll eat later," said Julie Mennella, a biopsychologist and researcher at the Monell Center. "Dietary patterns track from early to later childhood but once they are formed, once they get older, it's really difficult to change — witness how hard it is to change the adult. You can, but it's just harder. Where you start, is where you end up." This may have profound implications for the future health of Americans. With some 70 percent of the United States population now overweight or obese and chronic diseases skyrocketing, many parents who are eating a diet high in processed, refined foods are feeding their babies as they feed themselves, and could be setting their children up for a lifetime of preferences for a narrow range of flavors. The Monell researchers have identified several sensitive periods for taste preference development. One is before three and a half months of age, which makes what the mother eats while pregnant and breast-feeding so important. "It's our fundamental belief that during evolution, we as humans are exposed to flavors both in utero and via mother's milk that are signals of things that will be in our diets as we grow up and learn about what flavors are acceptable based on those experiences," said Gary Beauchamp, the director of the Monell Center. © 2013 The New York Times Company

Ewen Callaway Certain fears can be inherited through the generations, a provocative study of mice reports1. The authors suggest that a similar phenomenon could influence anxiety and addiction in humans. But some researchers are sceptical of the findings because a biological mechanism that explains the phenomenon has not been identified. According to convention, the genetic sequences contained in DNA are the only way to transmit biological information across generations. Random DNA mutations, when beneficial, enable organisms to adapt to changing conditions, but this process typically occurs slowly over many generations. Yet some studies have hinted that environmental factors can influence biology more rapidly through 'epigenetic' modifications, which alter the expression of genes, but not their actual nucleotide sequence. For instance, children who were conceived during a harsh wartime famine in the Netherlands in the 1940s are at increased risk of diabetes, heart disease and other conditions — possibly because of epigenetic alterations to genes involved in these diseases2. Yet although epigenetic modifications are known to be important for processes such as development and the inactivation of one copy of the X-chromsome in females, their role in the inheritance of behaviour is still controversial. Kerry Ressler, a neurobiologist and psychiatrist at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, and a co-author of the latest study, became interested in epigenetic inheritance after working with poor people living in inner cities, where cycles of drug addiction, neuropsychiatric illness and other problems often seem to recur in parents and their children. "There are a lot of anecdotes to suggest that there's intergenerational transfer of risk, and that it's hard to break that cycle," he says. © 2013 Nature Publishing Group

Storyboarding to Build Understanding
The next time you deliver a lecture or assign students to read a long passage, encourage them take notes using a storyboard format. A storyboard is a timeline of events that are visually displayed for use in movies, commercials and animations. Storyboarding notes during the lecture or while reading involves the students creating a series of frames with images to represent a sequence of events or topics. Under each frame students should place a caption that describes the particular event in the sequence. The storyboarding process will encourage students to meta-cognitively process the information in the lecture and/or passage. The following shows an example of storyboarding a basic photosynthesis process.
Tips for success with storyboarding:
- If this is the first time you have students take "notes" in this way demonstrate what you expect them to do for the first few frames by showing them an examples.
- If this is the first time that students are learning the content make sure to share the number of "frames" students should have in their storyboard. This will help scaffold their understanding as they complete the task.
- This approach works especially well when the content of the lecture or passage is a process or procedure.
- If you use this technique with a lecture pause intermittently throughout the lecture to let students capture the information in a frame.

UPDATE: Iran: Support Iranian women - demonstration 12 June 2006
We have heard from friends who say, "Thanks to everybody who participated in this solidarity action, the website of the Iranian Presidency drastically slowed down and came to a halt several times on the 18th and 19th of June. We can be sure they have received the word. We are ending this action for now with an urgent note."
Kyrgyzstan: Support the campaign to ensure continued access to abortion
The Forum of Women's NGOs of Kyrgyzstan is requesting your support in the protest against initiatives that restrict women's right to abortion.
UN: Act now for UN reform and gender equality
Despite the good commitments from CEDAW and the Beijing Platform for Action especially, implementation by governments and in the UN has been far slower than we would like. With the initiatives for reforms in the UN, there is an important opportunity now to ensure that the structural and other obstacles to effective implementation within the UN are addressed.
Bahrain: Take action in support of women demanding introduction of Bahrain's new Family Code
WLUML has received an urgent request from the Committee of Women's Petition (CWP), Bahrain. WLUML strongly urges you to take action in support of the group of women from Bahrain linked with the Committee of Women's Petition and ensure their safe return to Bahrain following their campaigning visit to Europe in support of Bahrain's proposed Family Code.
Pakistan: Religious minorities - ensure protection of places of worship and properties
WLUML has received this call for action from friends at Hotline Asia and urges you to respond. They state that in the past 10 months (May 2005 to February 2006), the places of worship and properties of religious minorities are increasingly being targeted by the extremist attacks and grabbing of properties in Pakistan.
Iran: Condemn the violence used against Iranian women on international women's day
WLUML is deeply concerned about reports of violent attacks and arrests of women's rights activists, women's groups and human rights defenders on 8 March 2006, International Women's Day. Those gathered were attacked and assaulted by plain-clothes militia, special anti riot forces of the Revolutionary guards, soldiers and police.
UPDATE: Malaysia: Family law bill unjust to Malaysian Muslim women
Sisters in Islam share the good news that, because of your overwhelming support and help in response to our previous appeal, the Malaysian government recently announced that it would put on hold the gazetting of the controversial Islamic Family Law (Federal Territories) (Amendment) Bill 2005. The bad news is that this non-gazettement is only valid for the Federal Territories, and not for the remaining states in the federation of Malaysia that have adopted these unjust amendments into their respective Islamic Family Laws. Since Islam is a state matter, it means that Muslim women living in these 11 states continue to be affected by its unjust clauses. They urge you to express your concern ...
Malaysia: Family law bill unjust to Malaysian Muslim women
We have received this open appeal for support from like-minded Muslim organizations and individuals around the globe to protest the recent passing of the Islamic Family Law (Federal Territories) (Amendment) Bill 2005 by the Malaysian Senate.

Women's rights activist Ghada Jamsheer was found not guilty of defaming a Sharia judge by the Lower Criminal Court on 28 December 2005. The court ruled that there was not enough evidence to prosecute Ms Jamsheer because the judge only had one witness who supported his claim against her.

Matt Glaeser
Number | Position | DOB | Ht | Wt | Nationality | Hometown | Previous Club |
24 | GK | 04/27/85 | 6'5" | 205 lbs |
American | Fredricksburg, VA | Pallo-Iirot (Finland) |
2013: The Strikers announced on November 19, 2012 that they had picked up the option on Matt Glaeser's contract for the 2013 season. He is currently the longest serving player on the team.
Glaeser started the 2013 Spring season as the first choice goalkeeper, but lost his starting job to Cody Laurendi and later on-loan Real Salt Lake goalkeeper Jeff Attinella. Glaeser started six games in the Spring for the Strikers.
After the Strikers signing of Mexican youth international Richard Sanchez on loan from MLS side FC Dallas, Glaeser failed to see action during the Fall season. He finished the year with 6 starts in 7 league appearances.
2012: Glaeser returned to the Strikers for the 2012 NASL season, his third year with the club. He started the season strong, shutting out FC Edmonton and Minnesota Stars FC in the first two matches of the season.
Glaeser kept his place the undisputed first-choice goalkeeper for the Strikers, starting 27 regular season matches. He posted five shutouts and had a GAA of 1.63. He made a single U.S. Open Cup appearance against San Jose Earthquakes, and started in the Strikers playoff defeat to the Carolina RailHawks.
2011: Glaeser missed the start of the 2011 season after being hospitalized with pneumonia. He returned to the lineup in May, featuring in a 1-1 draw with the NSC Minnesota Stars, and again in the 0-0 draw against the Atlanta Silverbacks.
Glaeser kept his place in the side, starting the remaining 25 matches for the Strikers, logging a total of 2,355 minutes. He shut out the opposition a total of 12 times, while conceding just 27. His GAA of 1.00 was one of the lowest in the league. Recognized as NASL Defensive Player of the Week for week 12. Glaeser was rewarded with a new contract on July 5th.
2010: After playing abroad in Finland, Glaeser returned to the States in 2010, signing with Miami FC (now the Fort Lauderdale Strikers) of the USSF Division 2. He spent a brief period on loan with FC Tampa Bay as injury cover. Glaeser made his debut for Miami FC in a 2-1 against the Montreal Impact, and finished the 2010 season as the starting goalkeeper for the Blues.
Professional: After being overlooked in the 2008 MLS SuperDraft, Glaeser signed for the Western Mass Pioneers of the USL Second Division, where he made a total of 20 appearances. Following a successful trial in Finland, Matt signed for third-tier side Pallo- Iirot in 2009.
College: Glaeser started his college career at James Madision University in 2003, before transferring to University of Hartford in 2006. He would become the captain and MVP, and was recognized as the 2008 American East Conference Goalkeeper of the Year, as well as the 2008 NSCAA Northeast Region Goalkeeper of the Year.

Understanding this, Mackenzie's interior designers and architects work with clients to interpret their business strategies and design workspaces that advance those strategies, increase efficiency, and improve productivity and morale.
Our designers approach each project from a fresh perspective to meet the individual needs of the client. Chosen fixtures, materials, and layouts incorporate the principles of sustainable design. We work within the space to develop design solutions that create a strong sense of identity while complementing the surrounding structure.

It echo's Mark's advice -- find something "real" to do in the long run, but in the short run there are a bunch of things one can do to learn about parallel programming and some of the simpler aspects of "vanilla" cluster design. So consider subscribing to Cluster World Magazine -- it has a LOT of information for cluster neophytes and quite a bit for old hands as well. </plug> rgb -- Robert G.

Slightly off topic although im not sure it's it's enough to create an entire topic for:
Since the Gold team generally has legal guardianship over the kids shouldn't JGHS technically should count as a homeschool which means they'll be getting tests from the education board to see what they actually learned?
It's funny because it's true. My dad is a financial consultant with a background in accounting. His math ability stinks. I always joke about it and he always tells me that doing accounting isn't about math. Makes sense since few accountants would have to know more than statistics, with most relying on calculators or Excel to do the calculations for them.
I'm very much on the fence about buying this. I've been loving 'Lil Loki in Journey Into Mystery, but the last few New Mutant books I've read left me not wanting more. Should I pick this up?
Hardly. I think that it's a natural progression for the team and something they first attempted, in part, during their later X-Force days. And even if it is sudden, life sometimes hands you harsh wake up calls. Real life is like that. Real world character development is like that too. It's rare that the most important things in our lives happen so gradually. The things that change us most tend to be sudden. A family member dies. You lose your job and get evicted. You find out that you knocked up your girlfriend. Sharp and abrupt happens.
Yeah. Kid Loki's not a huge part yet, but they're doing their best about mixing the storylines. The Asgard stuff tends to be generally well handled in New Mutants, even if you're not a fan. If you intend on continuing with either JiM or NM then this issue is a must. You'll be lost for the next few issues otherwise.
Asgardian mythos doesn't do much for me, but on the whole this seems very promising. I am grateful for Kieron Gillen's input. My only worry is that what few interesting plot threads there were in New Mutants (Mephisto, Hel puppy, stalker, etc.) will all be tied up by the end of this, leaving us with only the flat premise of Dani and the X-Janitors. The art was a perfect fit, even if Dani's looking a little rough.

Come to Deathstrike & .A²: Mutant League Champions 2013
Could just be that DnA are leaving the book and are looking to close their stories out before #50. Marvel hasn't said if it's canceled or not, but I sense (at the very least) a change in direction coming up after the "Fear the Future" arc.
Was that the case? I always got the feeling that they paid tribute to her since she started the colony. They certainly owed a lot of their good fortune to her, but I'm not sure that it would've necessarily crumbled if she disappeared for 100 years.

You really never know. If the whole speculation of a New Mutants movie at FOX turns out to be true then I'm sure that Marvel is going to want to do whatever they can to increase the visibility of this title. I don't know who I'd like on it though. Wells was doing a good job, but I think that Marvel might want to go with a higher profile name. Kyle & Yost were clearly big fans of the original book when they worked on New X-Men, but I'm not sure if either of them would do it now. Personally, I'd like to see Aaron take over the writing duties. His work on WatX has been spectacular. I think that he'd have a ball with this team.

Hi I was just looking at your blog and all your other sewing projects…do you have any tips for neat sewing especially on blouses??? do you press every seam as you go?
Apr 9, 2013, 10.33 PMby marie emily
hi! thanks for looking at my stuff. :-)
i think my top tips for extra neat sewing would be:
>>> lots of ironing – definitely press every seam as you go… iron the fabric before you cut the pieces out. press seams open (if you can) for things like collars and cuffs, before ironing flat & top stitching/finishing.
>>> trim (and clip) seam allowances & corners carefully especially on collars, cuffs, etc. i like to make french or flat felled seams, too, for an extra neat finish.
>>> lots of pins! especially when sewing on sleeves and collars. i think i put a pin about every inch.
>>> go slow & take your time… i always have to remind myself to take my time and make sure everything is as perfect as it can be before continuing… if something isn't just right i rip it out.
maybe i'll do a blog post with tips + images someday. :-)

Ohio State recruiting: State Secrets, 2/22 - Two big visits scheduled (lghl)
Two visits scheduled for Ohio State, two recent Buckeye offers speak about their offer, and Drew Basil now handling two positions on the field? Might be 'two' much to handle in February 22nd's edition of State Secrets.
Recruiting analysts constantly debate different prospects' ever-changing interests in numerous schools, trying to disseminate between legitimate "interest" and feigned "interest." Few would argue against the premise that the most important tactic to recruit an athlete is to get him on campus. Fortunately for Buckeye fans, young or old, Coach Urban Meyer is bringing in stud after stud to Columbus and churning out stellar reviews of visits to Ohio's capital.
Yesterday, our very own Charles Doss caught up with Maurice Ways, a 2014 receiver from Franklin, Michigan (Detroit Country Day School). Doss was told that Ways plans on visiting Ohio State on March 30th. Currently, Ways does not have a star rating according to most of the recruiting websites, but holds offers from Bowling Green and Toledo and has garnered attention from Michigan, Michigan State, and Pittsburgh. It never hurts to get recruits on campus, no matter how high or low the recruiting rankings indicate of their ability. We'll see if the 6-3, 175-pound receiver blows up during the summer camp circuit and his senior season.
Bob Hunter commentary | Rumblings: Crimson Tide barge into Ohio for football recruits (dispatch)
Marcelys Jones couldn't wait to tweet this week that Alabama had offered him a scholarship. The same went for Marshon Lattimore, and both let the world know that their teammate Erick Smith had been offered, as well. The news wasn't that Alabama had made offers to three more football prospects; it was that all play for Cleveland Glenville, a talent pipeline to Ohio State for more than a decade. Jones, an offensive lineman, was the first player to commit to the Ohio State 2014 recruiting class on Dec. 25. Lattimore, an all-purpose athlete, and Smith, a safety, hold offers from the Buckeyes.
It's not the first time Alabama coach Nick Saban has stepped into Ohio State territory — the Tide signed linebacker Trey DePriest out of Springfield two years ago — but now Saban and Urban Meyer might be running into each other in the halls of Glenville.

Several Alberta companies, who face substantial shortages of power engineers, have come together to support a new industry-driven program that will train power engineers in only 37 weeks. The fast-track Power Engineering Training Program initiative will be offered in Calgary through funding from the federal and provincial government, in partnership with SAIT Polytechnic and Enform, with the support of employers and the Power Engineering occupational accreditation authority, the Alberta Boilers Safety Association (ABSA).

Frozen burgers now being recalled from Safeway stores across the western half of the country originated from the same Ontario plant that was at the centre of a tainted meat outbreak just two months ago.
A military judge has demoted the Calgary reservist in charge of a platoon during a fatal training exercise but spared him from jail time.
Health officials are warning people not to eat some frozen burger patties sold at Safeway stores in Alberta and elsewhere in Canada because they may be tainted with E-coli bacteria. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has issued an alert about several Safeway brand hamburger patties produced at Cardinal Meat Specialists in Brampton, Ontario.
A $2.4 billion drop in resource revenue has put Alberta on pace for a deficit of between $3.5- and $4 billion — one of the highest deficits in history, Finance Minister Doug Horner revealed Tuesday in the province's third quarter fiscal update. The sea of red ink will be four times deeper than was forecast in the budget last February. The province initially predicted an $886 million deficit, but by the second quarter had increased its deficit forecast to $2.3 to $3 billion.

The Christmas spirit in India
Article posted December 3, 2012 at 03:18 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 766
Hey Guys!
I am going to talk to you about the traditions in India and what they do there. On christmas eve, a dance is held for the teenagers. On christmas night fire crackers are shot into the sky and there are also fireworks. I know you may think that the majority of the Indians do not celebrate christian holidays but we do. After eating the breakfast, gifts are given out and families go out to see one another. Special pastries are passed out such as kulkul, laddoo which is kind of plump and yellow, and many more. These are only some of the traditions that us indians have but there are many more.

Hi guys
My biome is the prairie and I want to talk about that with you. Three organisms that are in the prairie are prairie dogs,bulls, and jack rabbits. Prairie dogs eat plants and other stuff like that. Buffalo also eat plants but to be specific they eat grass. Jack rabbits also eat grass and most jack rabbits live in the grasslands or the desert. I would visit the prairie so I could see the different types of animals. Peace Out!
Peace Out!

Tom Eschen is the Weekend Sports Anchor and a multimedia journalist at CNY Central.
The smell of freshly made donuts filled the air in the Rescue Mission Food Services Center Sunday afternoon, as more than 200 people filled the room to enjoy a free Easter dinner.
While their guests from around the city of Syracuse usually get the food themselves at the counter, on holidays like Easter, Christmas and Thanksgiving, volunteers serve each guest individually.
"Normally people are very gracious when receiving meals," Rescue Mission Director of Programs Alan Thornton said. "This is special because on Easter we're actually serving them. Normally they would come through the line, get their tray, and bring it back to their own table. Today, volunteers are getting food and bringing it to them just like [in a] restaurant."
On Sunday morning about 35 volunteers worked to bring plates of ham, turkey, potatoes, pie and even homemade donuts to the guests. On a holiday like Easter, it shows how much these volunteers care about helping out others.
"I like my family, but I feel like this is more important," said Jacob Starawicz. "I really like to help people, it's just a great experience."
On a daily basis, the Rescue Mission serves about 600 meals a day, and shelters an average of 126 people a night.

Weekly Rites 12-2-2011 from Clare Byrne on Vimeo.
I've been reading Bob Dylan's autobiography, Chronicles I.
Dylan describes himself landing from the Midwest in New York City in the early 1960's, barely twenty years old, with "a mind as sharp as a trap." He tore, spliced and diced melody and image. He was emotionally fluent, the mouth of a shark, dangerously articulate. My response is - my mind spills out foggy as the sound, my body is a boat knocking against the dock, and my heart is gushing as an ocean.
