The Men Behind The Bluesmen: Gene Nobles
2009-06-09 09:01:00
Gene Nobles was born on August 3, 1913, in Hot Springs, Arkansas and he died on September 21, in 1989, in Nashville, Tennessee. He was an American radio disc jockey who became famous on Nashville radio station WLAC from the 1940s through the 1970s by playing rhythm and blues music. He is an inductee into the Blues Music Hall of Fame.According to Wikipedia;Nobles is credited with introducing artists such as Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, and Little Richard, to a wider audience. Before Nobles' breakthrough programming, R&B artists were heard usually by African-Americans only, who attended their performances at nightclubs on the so-called "Chitlin Circuit" and purchased their records in black-owned stores. Some conservative whites (especially segregationists) opposed the broadcast of such music, but many others purchased the R&B records and danced to them.According to a book by Wes Smith, The Pied Pipers of Rock 'n' Roll: Radio Deejays of the 50s and 60s (Longstreet Press, 1989), Noble...
Gene that determines height identified

Gene that determines height identified Scientists claim to have discovered the gene that influences a person's height and explains why some people are shorter.Past studies have shown that genetics plays a key role in determining a person's height. However, the genes involved have remained a mystery.A new study published in the journal Nature Genetics analysed the genomes of 5,000 white Europeans who gave Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) samples and details of their height and weight for medical studies into diabetes and heart disease.The researchers from Harvard University, Children's Hospital in Boston, Oxford University and the Peninsula Medical School in Exeter found that just one small change in the HMGA2 gene had an impact on a person's height, reported the online edition of BBC News.Scientists said people who carry two copies of the "tall" version of this gene are up to one centimetre taller than those who carry two copies of the "short" version.The finding was confirmed by sea...

Schizophrenia, bipolar disorder share gene factors
2009-01-18 03:05:00
A Swedish registry study involving more than 2 million families confirms that first-degree relatives of patients with schizophrenia or bipolar disease are at increased risk for both disorders. ?These findings highlight the need for identification of genes for schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, as well as for genes common to both disorders,? lead investigator Dr. Paul Lichtenstein told Reuters Health. Epidemiological studies and genetics research have suggested a possible overlap in genetic susceptibility between the two disorders, but the data have been inconsistent, Lichtenstein at Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm and his associates note in The Lancet.
Gay Rights Leader & Bishop, Gene Robinson, to Recite Inauguration Prayer
2009-01-12 20:10:00
After much ado about Obama's stinky pick of anti-gay pastor Rick Warren to conduct the Inauguration invocation, Obama did the yin-yang thing. He chose a renowned gay bishop, Gene Robinson, to perform the Inauguration opening prayer.My first thought was, oh, Obama is throwing crumbs to the LGBT community. But on second thought, you know what? I'll take the crumbs, however they may come. At least Obama made the effort. Put on a little lipstick before heading out the door. I'll take it. In fact, I feel downright jubilant about it. So I wanted to find out more about Bishop Robinson. Here's a quickie run-down:His parents were poor tenant farmers in KentuckyHe was severely ill and partially paralyzed at birth, but overcame his disabilitiesHe was married to a woman and then ordained an Episcopal priest shortly thereafterHe has two daughters, with whom he is closeHe and his wife divorced, but remain good friendsHe has been with his current partner, Mark Andrew (whom he later married), f...

Researchers Piece Together Gene ?Network? Linked to Schizophrenia
2008-09-03 14:37:00
Reporting this week in the Archives of General Psychiatry, researchers at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have uncovered for the first time molecular circuitry associated with schizophrenia that links three previously known, yet unrelated proteins. ?This is very exciting because until now the many known genetic factors implicated in this condition were not connected in any way,? says Akira Sawa, M.D., Ph.D., director of the program in molecular psychiatry and associate professor of psychiatry and neuroscience at Hopkins. ?Now, through a cross-disciplinary and cross-departmental collaboration, we not only have figured out how these three proteins interact with each other, we also have found patients who carry mutations. These results give us a really good foundation to dig deeper into such an elusive condition.? Sawa?s team previously had characterized the DISC1 gene and protein which are required for proper nervous system development, and when disrupted, signific...

Neuroscientists spot nature/nurture gene link
2008-07-16 09:37:00
Neuroscientists at MIT's Picower Institute for Learning and Memory found that a previously unsuspected set of genes links nature and nurture during a crucial period of brain developmentNature--in the form of genes--and nurture--in the form of environmental influences--are fundamentally intertwined during this period. "Our work points to how a disorder can be genetic and yet be dependent on the environment," said co-author Mriganka Sur, Sherman Fairchild Professor of Neuroscience at the Picower Institute and chair of MIT's brain and cognitive sciences department. "Many genes require activity to be expressed and make their assigned proteins. They alter their expression when activity is altered. Thus, we reveal an important mechanism of brain development that should open up a window into the mechanisms and treatment of brain disorders such as autism."In the brain, some genes are only expressed, or turned on, in response to stimulus from the outside world. Like a panel of switches tha...
THE NEW BISHOP ROBINSON (GENE, NOT JOHN) IS AT IT AGAIN
2008-06-12 19:44:00
THE NEW BISHOP ROBINSON (GENE, NOT JOHN) IS AT IT AGAIN !!!! When I was a young man, shortly after my conversion, in the early 1960s, a young British ultraliberal Anglican Bishop named John A. T. Robinson caused an uproar with his best-selling book Honest To God, which in no way taught anything new, but merely repeated the heretical notions found in such liberals as Paul Tillich and Rudolf Bultmann, who were very popular with liberal Protestants back then. What was new was a BISHOP saying these things which were clearly contrary to the official doctrinal stance of the Church of England. Now there had been plenty of Anglican clergy who thought as he did but at least they did not come out and say it in front of the servants! (You should not come out and say such things publicly; they should stay "in the closet", don't you know.) There was such a firestorm ignited by this (then young, but now old) Bishop Robinson that a new book soon appeared entitled The Honest To God Debat...

VERY IMPORTANT ARTICLE "The roots of several mental disorders lie in defects in the synaptic proteins, more than 50 of which have been linked to diseases like schizophrenia, Dr. Grant said."Brainpower May Lie in Complexity of Synapses By NICHOLAS WADEPublished: June 10, 2008Evolution’s recipe for making a brain more complex has long seemed simple enough. Just increase the number of nerve cells, or neurons, and the interconnections between them. A human brain, for instance, is three times the volume of a chimpanzee’s.Get Health News From The New York Times » A whole new dimension of evolutionary complexity has now emerged from a cross-species study led by Dr. Seth Grant at the Sanger Institute in England.

Rett syndrome gene found to be full of surprises
2008-05-30 02:02:00
Rett syndrome gene found to be full of surprises Published: Thursday, 29-May-2008 Medical Research News A study funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has transformed scientists' understanding of Rett syndrome, a genetic disorder that causes autistic behavior and other disabling symptoms. Until now, scientists thought that the gene behind Rett syndrome was an "off" switch, or repressor, for other genes. But the new study, published today in Science, shows that it is an "on" switch for a startlingly large number of genes.Rett syndrome is caused by a deficiency of the MECP2 gene. It occurs almost exclusively in girls, robbing them of language, cognitive and fine motor skills around the time they are learning to walk. Having extra copies of MECP2 can also cause Rett-like symptoms.By manipulating the number of copies of the MECP2 gene in mice, the authors of the new study found that it controls thousands of other genes, suppressing some, but activating most. The res...

Gene linked to severe diabetic eye
2008-05-06 04:18:00
Scientists at the John A. Moran Eye Center at the University of Utah and collaborative institutions have identified a gene called erythropoietin (EPO) that contributes to increased risk of severe diabetic eye and kidney diseases, called retinopathy and nephropathy. The sight-threatening form of diabetic retinopathy, termed proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), is the most common cause of legal blindness in working-aged adults in the United States, accounting for 10% of new onset blindness overall. Diabetes is also the leading cause of kidney disease, called end-stage renal disease (ESRD), in the U.S. and the Western world........
