'God particle' data falls short of proof, say Fermilab researchers ( video)

Physicists at the?Fermi National Accelerator Lab say they have strong evidence of the existence of the Higgs boson, the so-called God particle that could explain the existence of mass. But their evidence falls short of absolute proof, they say.?

Physicists at Fermi National Accelerator Lab announced Monday that they had seen the strongest evidence yet of the subatomic "God particle" - more properly known as the Higgs boson - in the debris of collisions at the now-shuttered particle accelerator called the Tevatron.

Several large experimental groups are hot on the trail of this elusive subatomic particle which is thought to explain the origins of particle mass

The evidence still fell short of proof, however. Because the same debris hinting at the existence of the Higgs could also come from other subatomic particles, the physicists could rule out other explanations with a confidence of only 550-to-1; that is, there is less than a 0.2 percent chance that the collision debris is not from the Higgs. But by international convention, the odds have to be closer to 0.14 percent.

On Wednesday, physicists at CERN, the European particle accelerator located on the Swiss-French border, are scheduled to announce their own findings in the Higgs hunt.

Arcadia : The city built by the three races.

At the dawn of the three races highest peak in history they joined to build this city out of mutual need for a safe neutral zone to discuss politics and to confer with one another. To fit the needs of their requirments the city was built in caverns underground to block out uncomfortable sunlight for the vampires, to hide their presences from humans and to make it difficult for enemies to escape.

The halls were decorted in lavish furnishings, paintings of the greatest leaders and most mermorible marters cluttered the walls of each individual race's quarters as the city was divided into four sections, three sections divided between each race, the fourth and final section meant for their co-oporation and grand political meetings. It was built this way to provide each race with their privacy and to succesfully discourage violence and as little contact with one another as possible, the only time they need meet was within the fourth section built for all of their comforts.

Over time however the great builders of the city died from various causes, leaders overthrown, murdered or retired, their original purpose for building the city lost to the text books as arguments between the three races have forever started up a new after a a few dozen years of silence impossible to settle their violence. War was forever raged and when it reached its peak the leaders would again return to the city with its useful purpose and discuss a moments peace within the timeline, only the very oldest still remember what it was like back in such murderous days of the dark ages.

It was during the dark ages however that the humans need to conquer lands took them the soil atop Arcadia's great design. Unknowing the humans settled upon Arcadia building a city of their own the building stretching high with brick and stone their technology filling the streets with horse and carts only to slowly upgrade to that of cars and a population increase.

Some find the human settlement an insult to the pride of Arcadia and what it stood for, humans are mere rats after all, others considered it a stroke of luck as it meant that there would be a flourish stock of food supply during visits. It various between individuals, however because of the human's settlement, entering the city has become something to be taken with great care. No human must know of its existence, it must never be discovered or else such a sacred place would be defiled.

FACTS:

Vampire section is named: Ashdown Hall
(vampires turn to ash when killed during disintgration- slow process)

Lycan section is named: Lucine Yard
( Literally means moon and yard cos well, their animals lol)

Shifter section is named: Cambiamento Grounds
(Literally means 'change' as shifters do)

Fourth mutual section is named: Unire Temple (means bring together)

Know rules when in Arcadia:

    Must make presence known, can not go about silently as doing so could cause aggitation and possible murders.
    Must not harm one another in the Unire Temple
    Must not harm another race in their sector
    No blood must be shed other than a humans
    No humans must step foot in Arcadia without purpose (I.e food)
    Must keep Arcadia secret from humans
    Protect the sacredness of Arcadia

(may be added too)

REMEMBER RULES ARE MEANT TO BE BROKEN :p

Children's Health & Fitness ? Nurses Educate Youth To Combat ...

July 2nd, 2012 by Len Saunders

From Nurse.com?..

With more than one-third of American adults classified as obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, national programs and initiatives have sprouted to address weight issues earlier in life. Childhood obesity, defined as a body mass index at or above the 95th percentile for youth of the same age and sex, now affects 17% of all children and adolescents in the U.S., the CDC reports. This is triple the rate of a generation ago.

Because of the increase in childhood obesity, national initiatives, such as first lady Michelle Obama?s Let?s Move! Campaign, have encouraged parents, teachers and students to pay closer attention to food intake and activity levels. Schools also are dedicated to combatting the problem; for example, Wellspring Academy in Brevard, N.C., a boarding school for obese children ages 11 to 19.

New York and New Jersey programs also are doing their part toward prevention. In 2010, the NuHealth Foundation, the philanthropic arm of NuHealth System in East Meadow, N.Y., conducted a study of sixth- and eighth-grade students in the Roosevelt (N.Y.) Union Free School District to assess students? BMIs and the prevalence of overweight and obese children. The results of the study showed 44% of the students in the Long Island school district were overweight or obese, higher than the CDC?s national average of about 30%.

"What we're seeing is a window into what?global?warming?really looks like,"?Princeton University's?Michael Oppenheimer?said during a telephone press briefing. "It looks like heat, it looks like fires, it looks like this kind of environmental disaster ... This provides vivid images of what we can expect to see more of in the future."

In?Colorado,?wildfires?that have raged for weeks have killed four people, displaced thousands and destroyed hundreds of homes. Because winter snowpack was lighter than usual and melted sooner, fire season started earlier in the U.S. West, with?wildfires?out of control in?Colorado,?Montana?and?Utah.

The high temperatures that are helping drive these fires are consistent with projections by the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which said this kind of extreme heat, with little cooling overnight, is one kind of damaging impact of?global?warming.

Others include more severe storms, floods and droughts, Oppenheimer said.

The stage was set for these fires when winter snowpack was lighter than usual, said?Steven Running, a forest ecologist at the?University of Montana.

Following the genomic pathways to stop the spread of cancer

ScienceDaily (July 3, 2012) ? As the Genetics Society of America's Model Organism to Human Biology (MOHB): Cancer Genetics Meeting in Washington, D.C. drew to a close, it was clear that the mantra for drug discovery to treat cancers in the post-genomic era is pathways.

Pathways are ordered series of actions that occur as cells move from one state, through a series of intermediate states, to a final action. Because model organisms -- fruit flies, roundworms, yeast, zebrafish and others -- are related to humans, they share many of the same pathways, but in systems that are much easier to study. Focusing on pathways in model organisms can therefore reveal new drug targets that may be useful in treating human disease.

"By reading evolution's notes, we can discover what really matters in the genome," keynote speaker Eric Lander, Ph.D., founding director of the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT and professor of biology at MIT, told a packed crowd at the MOHB: Cancer Genetics Meeting on June 19.

What matters the most in the genome of a cancer cell may be the seeds of drug resistance, the genetic changes that enable cells to evade our best drugs. Bert Vogelstein, M.D., director of the Ludwig Center at Johns Hopkins University and an investigator with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and a keynote speaker on June 17, told participants. He called drug resistance to single agents a "fait accompli," or a done deal as a side effect of the evolution of cancer.

"About 3,000 resistant cells are present in every visible metastasis," said Dr. Vogelstein. "That's why we see resistance with all therapeutics, even when they work. And we can't get around it with single agents. Cancer treatment requires combinations of agents."

Presentations throughout the meeting offered specific examples of events in pathways involved in the progression of cancer in model organisms that shed light on how human cancer may metastasize.

? To identify the genes behind a breast cancer's spread to the lungs, Joan Massagu?, Ph.D., chair of the Cancer Biology & Genetics Program at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and colleagues, placed cells from the lung fluid of patients into mice, deducing a "breast cancer lung metastasis signature" and identifying several mediators of metastasis that are clinically relevant and potential drug targets.

? Denise Montell, Ph.D., from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, traced the signaling pathways that developing egg cells in the Drosophila (fruit fly) ovary use to migrate as using some of the same genes that are expressed as ovarian cancer spreads.

? David Botstein, Ph.D., and his group at Princeton University use yeast to model the evolution of cancer through serial mutations, revealing that only a few destinations for a particular type of cancer are possible. "Breast cancers can't turn into leukemias, There are limited subtypes, not just anything can happen," he explained.

? David Q. Matus, Ph.D., a postdoctoral researcher at Duke University, discussed an in vivo model of cell invasion, a key component of cancer metastasis that occurs during the larval development of the roundworm, Caenorhabditis elegans. He showed that the invasive gonadal anchor cell needs to exit the cell cycle, (be non-dividing), in order to invade. Proliferative anchor cells fail to form "invadopodia" -- invasive feet or protrusions in the basement membrane -- suggesting that cell division and cell invasion are disparate states.

The tumor suppressor "drivers" -- those genes that reduce the probability of a cell turning into a cancer cell -- are often deletions -- part of a chromosome or a sequence of DNA that is missing. But, a drug can't target proteins encoded by such sequences. The solution? Understand and interrogate pathways. "For every mutated tumor suppressor gene that inactivates a component of a pathway, another gene is indirectly activated," Dr. Vogelstein explained. We need model organisms to dissect the pathways that will underlie future combination therapies, he concluded.

(AP) ? Serena Williams came through another tough three-set match Monday to reach the quarterfinals at Wimbledon, beating 65th-ranked Yaroslava Shvedova of Kazakhstan 6-1, 2-6, 7-5.

Williams cruised through the first set in windy conditions before the hard-hitting Shvedova found her rhythm in the second, breaking the American twice to even the match. Williams then wasted three break points at 4-4 in the third before eventually breaking for a 6-5 lead. She clinched the victory with a backhand winner on her first match point.

In her third-round match, Williams won the last set 9-7 against Zheng Jie.

Shvedova, a wild-card entry, became the first woman in the Open Era to win a set without losing a single point in her third-round match against Sara Errani.
