polash_borua: needn barrister: culbertson aborigine: Speed reading ...

I installed some speed reading apps and tested them. I?ve so far notices a few ?categories? or groups of equals:

  • One kind exists mostly from showing a text word by word in the middle of the screen. Showing each word a very short time and so you can read at a high wpm because you never need to move your eyes.
  • Another kind is merely a speed reading article disguised as app.
  • Another kind is no speed reading app but just a reading app with a fancy name.
  • Yet another kind is training in the form of news/actually.
  • And the last kind is a training app, not for your own stuff but purely for training.

I only tested them quickly and unions talked the non-interesting. But they aren?t quite what I?m looking for. Maybe I should write one myself for training and guided reading.

See-through 'MitoFish' opens a new window on brain diseases

ScienceDaily (Dec. 5, 2012) ? Scientists have demonstrated a new way to investigate mechanisms at work in Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases, which also could prove useful in the search for effective drugs. For new insights, they turned to the zebrafish, which is transparent in the early stages of its life. The researchers developed a transgenic variety, the "MitoFish," that enables them to see -- within individual neurons of living animals -- how brain diseases disturb the transport of mitochondria, the power plants of the cell.

Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), and MS (multiple sclerosis) are quite different in their effects on patients' cognitive and motor functions, behavior, and prognosis. Yet on the level of individual neurons, common mechanisms can be observed that either cause or accompany nerve degeneration in a number of different diseases. One of these is a disturbance in the transport of mitochondria, organelles that play several vital roles in the life of a cell -- above all, delivering energy where it is needed. And in a neuron, an extremely power-hungry cell, that means moving mitochondria all the way down its longest extension, the axon. Studying mitochondria transport in other animal models of neurodegenerative disease, particularly in mice, has been revealing. But the MitoFish model opens up new possibilities.

The new model was jointly developed in the labs of Prof. Thomas Misgeld of the Technische Universit?t M?nchen (TUM) and Dr. Bettina Schmid, a senior scientist of the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) based at the institute of LMU Prof. Christian Haass. "This collaboration has provided a system," Misgeld says, "with which we can try to understand the traffic rules or the life cycle of a given organelle, in this case mitochondria, in the context of a nerve cell that's existing in its physiological environment, where it is developing and changing. Most of these things we don't understand well enough to model them in another setting, so we have the organism do it for us."

The MitoFish is both readily manipulated, enabling researchers to pose specific questions, and literally transparent -- allowing non-invasive in vivo observation of changes relevant to disease processes. It is possible to image a whole, living neuron over time and to follow the movements of mitochondria within it. "The zebrafish is an established genetic model," Schmid explains, "which means you can bring foreign genes or certain proteins into a fish to test hypotheses about basic biology, disease mechanisms, or potential therapies. And because the early embryo is transparent, you can label specific nerve cells with a fluorescent protein and then look at them in an intact, living animal."

The researchers stress that this new window into the neurodegenerative diseases could not have been opened without combining complementary expertise: from Misgeld's lab, imaging and analysis focused on organelle dynamics; and from Schmid's lab, development of transgenic zebrafish models that are stable enough for long-term study. The first authors of the team's report in The Journal of Neuroscience are Gabriela Pluci?ska (TUM) and Dominik Paquet (LMU). The collaboration leaders are linked through participation in the newly established Excellence Cluster SyNergy (Munich Cluster for Systems Neurology), as well as in the DZNE and the Excellence Cluster CIPSM.

"Just talking to each other," Misgeld recalls, "we realized that this would be a perfect match -- that she would have situations in which the kind of trafficking question I wanted to look at could be of high relevance, and that she had all the tools we would need to carry this forward."

The driving force, they emphasize, is to understand more about Alzheimer's and other brain diseases to help steer the search for therapies in the right direction. "We need to understand how the machine works before we can operate it," Schmid says, "and modern biology is so technically advanced that no lab can be cutting-edge across the whole range of needed expertise."

SRA to Buy MorganFranklin's Natl Security Business; Bill Ballhaus ...

Bill Ballhaus

SRA International has agreed to acquire MorganFranklin?s national security business in an effort to grow its defense, national security and health portfolios.

SRA did not disclose terms of the deal and said the company expects to close the transaction by December.

Approximately 180 MorganFranklin employees, many of whom are based at client sites in the Washington and Tampa regions, will move over to SRA.

SRA President and CEO Bill Ballhaus said the company is pursuing strategic growth opportunities through the acquisition.

MorganFranklin holds positions on contract vehicles with SRA?s existing customers, according to SRA.

MFC?s line of work includes tactical C4ISR (command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance), cybersecurity, intelligence analysis, continuity of operations, emergency planning, information assurance and project management office support.

SRA announced the promotion of Deb Alderson to executive vice president and chief operating officer last week, nearly a year after she joined the company as EVP for strategic development.

Ballhaus said she brings a client-facing focus to her new post, where she will oversee the company?s main operating groups in the civil government; defense; health; and intelligence, law enforcement and homeland security sectors.

Taking it Home for November 25 Youth Class: Thinking of Death ...

?

The question is not whether we will die but how we have lived.

? Joan Borysenko, psychologist

Talk about the quote. What does it mean to you?

WHAT WE DID TODAY

Today?s Big Question was ?What happens when you die?? We talked about some different answers to the question which come from a variety of belief systems. We heard what a Unitarian Universalist minister said when he had cancer and expected to die soon. We found out that UUs talk more about heaven- and hell-like situations on Earth and what to do about them, than we talk about an afterlife. That is because many UUs believe we live on after life through what we did when we were alive?as well as in the memories of our families and friends. We also explored rituals to memorialize people after they die.

ANSWERING TODAY?S BIG QUESTION

What do family members have to say about the question: ?What happens when we die??

What does your family do so relatives who have died live on, through you?

VISIT THE DEAD

Go to a cemetery and look at the gravestones. What can you learn from them? Do those messages help the people buried there live on? Are there flowers and mementos? Why do people put them there?

SHARED SEARCH

Go through a family photo album or ?family tree.? Choose somebody you know little about who has died. Find out as much as you can about that person so they can live on through you.

REFLECT ON YOUR BELIEFS

Ask another big question: Is anything worth dying for? Patrick Henry was a famous patriot who said, ?Give me Liberty or Give me Death.? Was he right? What do you think is worth dying for?

PHOTO CHALLENGE

Photograph a cycle of life and death. You might start with a seed, photograph a flower as it grows through the summer, and photograph it again when it dies in a frost. You might photograph spring buds and then beautiful dying leaves.

FIND OUT MORE

Bereaved Children: A Support Guide for Parents and Professionals by Earl A.Grollman (Beacon, 1996) offers insight into how children and adolescents experience death and grieving and how adults can help them through such experiences. The book presents ways children and adults might bring various faith perspectives to the subject of death.

?

A Unitarian Universalist minister who has written extensively on this session?s Big Question is Rev. Forrest Church. Obtain Love and Death: My Journey through the Valley of the Shadow (Boston: Beacon Press, 2008) from the UUA Bookstore (at www.uuabookstore.org/) in hardcover or paperback or as an audio CD.

?

A 2008 Time magazine article (at www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1842627,00.html) details one scientist?s attempts to find out what happens after death.
