Stem Cell Transplant Restores Memory, Learning in Mice Apr. 21, 2013 For the first time, human embryonic stem cells have been transformed into nerve cells that helped mice regain the ability to learn and remember. A study at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is the first to show that human stem cells can successfully implant themselves in the brain and then heal neurological deficits, says senior author Su-Chun Zhang, a professor of neuroscience and neurology. Once inside the mouse brain, the implanted stem cells formed two common, vital types of neurons, which communicate with the chemicals GABA or acetylcholine. These two neuron types are involved in many kinds of human behavior, emotions, learning, memory, addiction and many other psychiatric issues, says Zhang. The human embryonic stem cells were cultured in the lab, using chemicals that are known to promote development into nerve cells -- a field that Zhang has helped pioneer for 15 years. The mice were a special strain that do not reject transplants from other species. After the transplant, the mice scored significantly better on common tests of learning and memory in mice. For example, they were more adept in the water maze test, which challenged them to remember the location of a hidden platform in a pool. The study began with deliberate damage to a part of the brain that is involved in learning and memory. Three measures were critical to success, says Zhang: location, timing and purity. Developing brain cells get their signals from the tissue that they reside in, and the location in the brain we chose directed these cells to form both GABA and cholinergic neurons. The initial destruction was in an area called the medial septum, which connects to the hippocampus by GABA and cholinergic neurons. This circuitry is fundamental to our ability to learn and remember, says Zhang. The transplanted cells, however, were placed in the hippocampus -- a vital memory center -- at the other end of those memory circuits. After the transferred cells were implanted, in response to chemical directions from the brain, they started to specialize and connect to the appropriate cells in the hippocampus. The process is akin to removing a section of telephone cable, Zhang says. If you can find the correct route, you could wire the replacement from either end. For the study, published in the current issue of Nature Biotechnology, Zhang and first author Yan Liu, a postdoctoral associate at the Waisman Center on campus, chemically directed the human embryonic stem cells to begin differentiation into neural cells, and then injected those intermediate cells. Ushering the cells through partial specialization prevented the formation of unwanted cell types in the mice. Ensuring that nearly all of the transplanted cells became neural cells was critical, Zhang says. That means you are able to predict what the progeny will be, and for any future use in therapy, you reduce the chance of injecting stem cells that could form tumors. In many other transplant experiments, injecting early progenitor cells resulted in masses of cells -- tumors. This didn't happen in our case because the transplanted cells are pure and committed to a particular fate so that they do not generate anything else. We need to be sure we do not inject the seeds of cancer. Brain repair through cell replacement is a Holy Grail of stem cell transplant, and the two cell types are both critical to brain function, Zhang says. Cholinergic neurons are involved in Alzheimer's and Down syndrome, but GABA neurons are involved in many additional disorders, including schizophrenia, epilepsy, depression and addiction. Though tantalizing, stem-cell therapy is unlikely to be the immediate benefit. Zhang notes that for many psychiatric disorders, you don't know which part of the brain has gone wrong. The new study, he says, is more likely to see immediate application in creating models for drug screening and discovery. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/04/130421151613.htm?utm_source\ =feedburnerutm_medium=emailutm_campaign=Feed:+sciencedaily/top_news/to\ p_science+(ScienceDaily:+Top+News+--+Top+Science) http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/04/130421151613.htm?utm_sourc\ e=feedburnerutm_medium=emailutm_campaign=Feed:+sciencedaily/top_news/t\ op_science+(ScienceDaily:+Top+News+--+Top+Science)
[FairfieldLife] A New Earth?
Two 'super-Earths' targeted in hunt for alien lifeA star system containing two potentially habitable Earth-like planets is being targeted by scientists searching for extra-terrestrial intelligence. [An artist's impression of the Kepler-62 star system as seen from the Earth-like planet ] An artist's impression of the Kepler-62 star system as seen from the Earth-like planet f, which scientists believe could support life. Photo: SETI/PA In the coming months, astronomers will turn an array of space http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/space/ telescope dishes towards Kepler-62, a star smaller and dimmer than the Sun about 1,000 light years away in the constellation Lyra. A pair of so-called super-Earths have been detected within the habitable zone of the star, the orbital region where temperatures are just warm enough to allow bodies of surface water such as oceans and lakes. Although no-one knows what the planets are made of, they are believed to be rocky. One, Kepler-62f, is thought to have a radius about 1.4 times greater than the Earth's. The other, Kepler-62e, is estimated to be 1.6 times larger. The planets' parent star is around two billion years older than the Sun, raising the possibility of intelligent life more advanced than it is on Earth. Both will be priority targets in a new Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (Seti) programme focusing on habitable zone worlds. They were discovered by Nasa's Kepler space telescope, which has so far detected almost 3,000 candidate planets outside the Solar System. A fifth of these are believed to be super-Earths between 1.25 and twice the size of the Earth. Scientists at the Centre for Seti Research in the US are listening in for radio signals from the stars that display signs of technology and intelligence. The search is being conducted from the Allen Telescope Array, a collection of small six-metre wide dishes in the Cascade Mountains of northern California. Kepler, launched in 2007 with 42 dishes, will ultimately comprise 350 receivers operating round the clock. Our surveys improve on previous, generally narrow band Seti by covering the radio frequency range where Earth's atmosphere is most transparent, including many frequencies never before observed, said Dr Gerry Harp, director of the Centre for Seti Research. We expect to complete a meaningful survey of these stars in less than one year. Be sure to check back soon. Kepler is designed to detect planets by looking for the minute dimming of starlight as they pass in front of or transit their parent stars. By studying the effect and the length of the transit, scientists can work out a planet's size and probable orbit. Dr Jon Jenkins, a member of the Seti Institute team based at Nasa's Ames Research Centre in California, whose Kepler-62 data is reported in the journal Science, said: These discoveries move us farther down the road to discovering planets similar to Earth. While we don't know if Kepler-62e and f are rocky or whether they have liquid water pooling on their surfaces, their existence shows that the incidence of small worlds in the habitable zone of Sun-like stars is high. Thus we can look forward to the discovery and detailed characterisation of Earth's cousins in the years and decades to come by future missions and telescopes. The research suggests that both planets are solid and likely to have mostly dry rocky surfaces or be ocean-covered water worlds. Three other planets close to the size of the Earth are also thought to be orbiting Kepler-62, but not in the habitable zone. Edited at Telegraph.co.uk by Richard Holt

Sick puppy. Jim, I think you are one of the more sophisticated posters here and not because I agree with much of what you say or because you apparently 'like' me. Although your observations and viewpoints can be hard hitting at times you don't appear to ever come from a place of malice or with the intent to stir up shit between anyone. You just say it like you see it, and unlike the post of Barry's below, your posts stand on their own as having no real agenda to incite dissension between different people. You are smart and I believe you to be brave on this forum. Barry accuses others of piling on in an attempt to 'get' people. He accuses them of all sorts of malevolent intentions below. We also all know that in 'real life' Barry wouldn't give Share the time of day (sorry Share, but you know it's true also). Barry has an agenda to 'use' Share for his own ends as evidenced by the post below. He is much worse than the people he berates. He is worse because he doesn't actually care about Share or how many people 'gang' up on her, not really. He is using her to promote his own agenda of hate. Barry is never interested in arresting the progress of hurt or misunderstanding in his posts. At best he points out how terrible or wrong someone is for 'going after' another person at worst that impulse is always motivated by a kind of blood lust. Barry thrives on discord and he does a lot here to see that things are not resolved but negativity perpetuated. His 'solutions' for those he pretends he cares about, because they are being persecuted by another, are never 'solutions' that involve feeling or understanding or empathy or compromise or willingness to grow or learn from a situation. I know you see this very clearly, Jim but some others do not or will not admit that they do. I think really exposing these tactics to the light of day is necessary to illustrate how ugly they are. Those who are unhappy rarely seem to want to encourage happiness in others. For Barry it seems to be all about encouraging others to do the exact opposite of what could result in peaceful resolution. Luckily, Share appeared to respond to Barry very well. I want to write a post to her about that and will. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, turquoiseb no_reply@ wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Share Long sharelong60@ wrote: Earth Day is ending, the lawn of my lady-parts is still not green.

Father Gabriel Mejia he was quite good, I'll be glad to read the transcript of Father Gabriel Mejia giving that talk if they don't edit the life out of it. Was the message of a totally cool spiritual elder who seems to have his act well in hand. He's a fighter in the battle for human dignity and spirituality in the best tradition of Maharishi. One of the several really good presentations I thought most interesting for our purposes was Father Gabriel Mejia with his language -ing of Latin branded New Age Liberation Theology. We could use a direct dose of that love in the TM movement up North here. He even gives darshan by hugging. This guy is true revolutionary transcendentalist armed with Latin American New Age Liberation Theology. He is activist and now an activist saint in his own times by virtue of his life.

[FairfieldLife] Re: to azgrey was what a Sunday on FFL
Thanks Ann, yeah, it just sort of dribbles out, somehow, and I enjoy the process. As far as Barry, I don't really see the shit he does, for much more than his burrowing deeper under the covers. He has put himself under a tremendous stress, now that his story is no longer working for him, in general. Our body, all that goop, knows the truth about us. After all, it has lived through it, heard every thought, and felt every feeling. So, when we try to bullshit ourselves, which may involve flinging same on others, its gonna eventually cause problems. We have an expectation as we grow older, things get better, easier, more in tune with what makes us happy. But if life goes the other way, and we find ourselves more frustrated with age, and basically with everyone, and everything, time for some retrospection, challenging of basic assumptions, and basically getting out of the way as much as possible. Unfortunately for some, the conflict between the once nourishing story of themselves, and its current parched reality, cannot be faced, so they continue to double down on emptiness, and continue to end up with nothing. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Ann awoelflebater@... wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, doctordumbass@ no_reply@ wrote: I think Judy and Ann drive you nuts, because they are women. Remember what I posted about your mom never finding fault with you, and your dad always doing so? It seems pretty clear that when a woman exposes your lameness, you then feel as if both sexes have given up on you, and you write compensatory garbage, designed to *kill* the messages of inadequacy that you just can't get out of your mind, after all these years. Sick puppy. Jim, I think you are one of the more sophisticated posters here and not because I agree with much of what you say or because you apparently 'like' me. Although your observations and viewpoints can be hard hitting at times you don't appear to ever come from a place of malice or with the intent to stir up shit between anyone. You just say it like you see it, and unlike the post of Barry's below, your posts stand on their own as having no real agenda to incite dissension between different people. You are smart and I believe you to be brave on this forum. Barry accuses others of piling on in an attempt to 'get' people. He accuses them of all sorts of malevolent intentions below. We also all know that in 'real life' Barry wouldn't give Share the time of day (sorry Share, but you know it's true also). Barry has an agenda to 'use' Share for his own ends as evidenced by the post below. He is much worse than the people he berates. He is worse because he doesn't actually care about Share or how many people 'gang' up on her, not really. He is using her to promote his own agenda of hate. Barry is never interested in arresting the progress of hurt or misunderstanding in his posts. At best he points out how terrible or wrong someone is for 'going after' another person at worst that impulse is always motivated by a kind of blood lust. Barry thrives on discord and he does a lot here to see that things are not resolved but negativity perpetuated. His 'solutions' for those he pretends he cares about, because they are being persecuted by another, are never 'solutions' that involve feeling or understanding or empathy or compromise or willingness to grow or learn from a situation. I know you see this very clearly, Jim but some others do not or will not admit that they do. I think really exposing these tactics to the light of day is necessary to illustrate how ugly they are. Those who are unhappy rarely seem to want to encourage happiness in others. For Barry it seems to be all about encouraging others to do the exact opposite of what could result in peaceful resolution. Luckily, Share appeared to respond to Barry very well. I want to write a post to her about that and will. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, turquoiseb no_reply@ wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Share Long sharelong60@ wrote: Earth Day is ending, the lawn of my lady-parts is still not green.

[FairfieldLife] Free Man In Paris, v2.13
Tonight I'm going to rap about Yet Another Trivial Uncle Tantra Day in Paris. Be warned. This one even has a soundtrack, Bruce Cockburn's My Beat. Listen along if you want to: http://www.artistdirect.com/video/my-beat/38863 http://www.artistdirect.com/video/my-beat/38863 You see, even though I love being in Paris, I've been experiencing a bit of a Jones for something I had grown used to in Leiden. Riding my bike. So today there was a big Employees Only meeting at my place of work, so since they neither invited me nor needed me around (because all of my subject matter experts would be in the meeting), I decided to go out and take advantage of one of the things that's new in Paris since I last lived here -- the Velib system. Velib was one of the initiatives strongly supported by Paris' very gay, very Green mayor back when I lived here, and it's wonderful to see it come to fruition. There are racks of bicycles all over Paris, every few blocks in many areas, that are essentially Free For The Riding. You pay a paltry 19 Euros per year for a pass. Then you walk up to a Velib bike rack, swipe your card, take the bike, and ride it. If you ride for less than half an hour, when you check it in at the next Velib site there is no charge. If you ride that particular bike for longer, there is a very reasonable charge. So I went out bike riding in Paris. I got to ride through the incredibly picturesque village-within-a-large-city of Butte aux Cailles, and then up a little to rue Mouffetard, and then back to work again. Such a deal. Don't feel that I stiffed the company I work for in any way; I am scrupulously honest with my billing, and worked an hour later than usual this evening to make up for my hour on the bike. But man! was it worth it. I'd forgotten how wonderful it feels to have the wind in your face as you zoom along city streets. I may rent another one tomorrow morning and ride to work on it rather than take the Metro or a bus. Ancient and always The wheel's ever whirling Today I'm riding Tomorrow I walk Step through forever into this very moment The heart is pumping and the heart rocks It's my beat In my new town

The dorks around here would think it too socialist (ya gotta buy a car!) Also probably need bikeways but they never figured out how to fund those so there are just bike lanes instead. In fact we probably need truckways too (remember truck routes). Of course the US probably needs to build high rise apartments on transit lines but that's way too socialist or downright communist! The former USSR was able to survive an economic collapse because it was set up that whereas the US wouldn't survive so well. Heard some interesting things about Oblivion so am planning to head off to see it in an hour. Wouldn't be a bad walk if it weren't mostly uphill.

[FairfieldLife] Free Man In Paris, v2.14
This rap is more of a rant. Be warned. It really doesn't have to do with Paris per se, except that on Facebook today, as I sat reading it in a Paris cafe, a gay friend of mine from the Netherlands wrote about how it uplifted his heart to see that France transcended the petty demonstrations of homophobes and that its parliament sanctioned gay marriage in France. It lifts my heart, too. After all, although being boringly straight, I have lived in 40% gay Sitges, Spain for a couple of years, and thus experienced what tolerance can be. I have also lived in the Netherlands, and thus experienced what one of the first (if not *the* first) country in the world to allow same-sex marriage *feels* like. So the question that puzzles me is: What Can These Protesters Have Been Fuckin' Thinking About? What century do they live in? As far as I can tell, many of the anti-same-sex-marriage protestors in France were religion-droids, protesting because the Church or churches they belonged to told them to. That's what triggered this particular rant, and why it, too has a Bruce Cockburn soundtrack: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GUiGz_6Y7g http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GUiGz_6Y7g To understand this song fully, you have to understand that Bruce is a Christian. But one of the Good Ones, the ones who actually walk the walk of their talk. He is more offended than us non-Christians by the ways that some people act in the name of Christ. What gives these people the RIGHT to tell other people who they can love -- and marry -- and who they cannot? Some moldy book that they believe has magical Woo Woo powers because God wrote it? Give me a break. It simply doesn't matter what homophobes call themselves, or the excuses they present for why they are homophobes -- they're still homophobes. May they rot in the Hell they believe in, but I do not.

That's called 'ego,' otherwise known as 'self-importance.' You'll get over it. Either that, or you won't. :-) But I think I've learned a thing or two here at the Funny Farm Lounge so I simply enjoyed myself, hopefully not being mean spirited in the process and Bob's your uncle! Here we are! If you're saying that I shouldn't let them matter to me in an unhealthy way, then I totally agree with you. But turq, I gotta let them matter to me, you know, in a healthy way, even if I don't like how they're acting. If you feel that you have so much time remaining in your life that you feel OK spending it interacting with people who are only trying to set you up for the next time they can vent their own unhappiness on you and yell at you, so be it. You *know* in advance that this is what is going to happen. So if you continue to interact with them, some part of you *enjoys* being yelled at. Cool, I guess. Some people enjoy being tied up and whipped, or engaging in orgies with dwarves and small rodents. It's an odd planet, and there is room for pretty much any kind of kinkiness. :-) I think it might be my biggest life lesson, whatever the heck that is! In this project, FFL is a great classroom, wicked grin. As I said, whatever floats yer boat. Better you wasting your time with these people than me. Hope your project is on schedule, going well, being fun, etc. All of the above. Paris has been an utter delight, both at work and away from it. The contrast it provides to FFL and the normal conversations here makes me feel less and less like being here. To be perfectly honest, the grittiest banlieus (urban slums) of Paris are often more high-vibe. I'm not knocking your decision to keep interacting with people who you *know* intend you ill, and are only feign- ing civility in between yelling at you, hoping that *either* of these tactics will tempt you into continuing to interact with them. From my point of view, you're fortunate that one of them isn't (at the current time) Robin, because then -- like Curtis -- you'd have them writing serial short-story length diatribes at you and actually expecting you to read them. The current crop of pissants don't have the attention span to do that, so you get off relatively easy. :-) Whatever floats yer boat...

TM may be considered in clinical practice to lower BP. Because of many negative studies or mixed results and a paucity of available trials, all other meditation techniques (including MBSR) received a Class III, no benefit, Level of Evidence C recommendation Thus, other meditation techniques are not recommended in clinical practice to lower BP at this time. As usual, more research needed, but it's a change from the no consistent effect found for any form of meditation that has been the result of the last few mainstream meta-analyses of the topic. Once head-to-head studies between meditation techniques become more common, I'm sure another report will be forthcoming, and with this new report, every proponent-researcher of MBSR will be scrambling to include TM in future research just so they can prove that their form of meditation really is better.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Today! Our Conscious Future
Prudence Farrow beyond initial reminiscing about the Beatles in a Conscious Future she was 'speak truth to power'; she had a message for the TM movement about Tm-speak: speak in the language people can hear Not your own language. Her's was a call to the field to work, to teach meditation by her long experience in it. Forthrightly by rights like David Lynch or Father Mehia she can say out loud what others have been saying for years since the TM movement abdicated the field before. It was a good call from an activist elder who is still out there and can speak her mind from experience.. It was refreshing with perspective. -Buck Father Gabriel Mejia he was quite good, I'll be glad to read the transcript of Father Gabriel Mejia giving that talk if they don't edit the life out of it. Was the message of a totally cool spiritual elder who seems to have his act well in hand. He's a fighter in the battle for human dignity and spirituality in the best tradition of Maharishi. One of the several really good presentations I thought most interesting for our purposes was Father Gabriel Mejia with his language -ing of Latin branded New Age Liberation Theology. We could use a direct dose of that love in the TM movement up North here. He even gives darshan by hugging. This guy is true revolutionary transcendentalist armed with Latin American New Age Liberation Theology. He is activist and now an activist saint in his own times by virtue of his life. The guy is activated, lit and blasting off. Mainline. That was an honor and a real pleasure to see and hear him live. -Buck --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Buck wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, sparaig LEnglish5@ wrote: I have hopes that it will eventually make it to youtube.

That's what I get for being such a scaredy cat and not translating the Yiddish bellybutton sutra til just now. Anyway, I was scratching my head, wondering why you mentioned bellybutton in a later post. Mystery solved! Yes, well, you learned a little something about yourself, about me, and maybe even about your purported supporters, who apparently managed to convince you of something they knew wasn't true--that I had melted down and been reduced to sputtering Yiddish insults because I was jealous of you (??) and furious that you refused to interact with me (???). As with your friend who made up a story about my friendship with Robin being based on despising Barry, you might want to think twice before trusting in these well wishers again. Bottom line, there are people on FFL you can trust, and those you can't. The former include (but are not necessarily limited to) Alex, sparaig, doctordumbass, Bhairitu, salyavin, laughinggull, Xeno, Ann, Emily, raunchy, and me. Some of us may give you a hard time now and then, and sometimes we make inadvertent mistakes, but we'll never lie to you or try to mislead you. (And if we use irony, it isn't intended to confuse you; we expect you to get it.) Just for the record, BTW, there's no such thing as a bad transliteration of Yiddish in anything but a formal context (as Barry knows). Many Yiddish words can be and are spelled multiple ways (e.g., tukas, tukus, tucas, tucus, tochis, toches, tochas, tochus, tuchas, tuches, tuchis). Often a particular spelling reflects a regional pronunciation. Sometimes a word has come to be spelled a particular way by custom, and it's spelled like that in formal contexts even though it doesn't follow the approved scholarly transliteration system. Another reason there are so many variant spellings in Yiddish is that while the language is primarily a combination of Hebrew and medieval German, it also has lots of loan words from many different languages, and those words are usually spelled phonetically. OTOH I think it was all part of life's mischievous way of plotting to get me to write that little ditty about lawns and lady parts which was fun for me to compose and hopefully for others to read. And I've expanded it! Stay tuned Funny Farm Lounge lizards ha ha! May you marry a doctor. Which is the only other Yiddish saying I know. I hope it's not an insult? Jeez, how can a half Irish shiksha like me keep up?! From: authfriend authfriend@...

I mean, if a person could laugh with lizards, they could pretty much laugh about all of it. IMHO. I don't think anything that has been posted in Yiddish in the past day or so has been as serious as a curse. Judaism forbids cursing, as it happens. Yiddish *insults*, however, are a high art. They're typically witty and creative, but they can get pretty nasty. The ones I used (none was a blessing) are among the very mildest.

The interesting thing about Barry is that in many if not most cases, his critical descriptions of the people he doesn't like are actually descriptions of what he himself does (e.g., pile on in an attempt to get people). It's as if he thought he could exonerate himself of his terrible behavior by projecting it on us. Next time he posts one of his rants, try reading it as criticism of him written by someone else. You'll find it rings much more true than when it's purportedly about us. It just cracks me up when he pleads with others not to interact with us, to ignore us, given that so many of his posts are *about* us. Does he write those posts in his sleep and forget he's written them when he wakes up?
