  • Genes and Work Ethic

    If you have good genes, you are blessed. If they are exceptional, you might be successful on that alone.

    Add work ethic and you will be successful and remarkable.

    On Thursday, Sept. 9, 2004, Linda Green retired after 23 years as a dancer in “Jubilee!” the longest-running production of its kind in Las Vegas.

    At 51, Green was the oldest continually working showgirl.

    A local columnist dubbed her the “Cal Ripkin Jr. of showgirls,” after baseball’s record holder for most consecutive games played.

    In certain respects, her achievement is more remarkable.

  • Cats, Dogs, and Cancer

    A detection technique called TRAP (Telomeric Repeat Amplification Protocol) used in the early detection of cancer in humans has found its way into the realm of veterinary medicine. This relatively new method of cancer detection allows veterinarians to catch cancer earlier, increasing the likelihood of successful treatment.

    The test works by detecting the enzyme telomerase, which helps cancer cells reproduce indefinitely. Telomerase activity seems to be a unique feature of benign tumor cells that have undergone malignant transformation.

    Regular cells and cancer cells have some ve ...

  • Why Are We So Fat? The Real Reason For The Obesity Epidemic
    Copyright 2006 Tom Venuto

    Why Are We So Fat? That’s the question asked in the cover story of a recent issue of National Geographic magazine.

    “Americans enjoy one of the most luxurious lifestyles on Earth: Our food is plentiful. Our work is automated. Our leisure is effortless. And it’s killing us,” says Geographic senior writer Cathy Newman.

    Some of the latest facts and statistics about obesity revealed in the article are chilling:

    * One out of three Americans is obese, twice as many as three decades ago

    * The Center for Disease control and Prevention (CDC) h ...

    India: Genetic Engineering - Petition Accuses Govenment Over Biosafety Testing
    India has approved BT (genetically modified) cotton to be planted in Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Punjab, but issues of biosafety, it seems, have not been given due attention. Dr. Arpad Pusztai, the scientist who has discovered that genetically modified potatoes caused rats to get sick and was fired for insisting that the study results be made public, has stated in testimony to the Supreme Court of India that we're dealing with "a potentially toxic crop whose anti-nutrients, (toxins such as gossypol, cyclopropenoid fatty acids or the potent carcinogenic aflatoxins, are well-known to accumulate in the subcutaneous fatty tissues of consumers." A Public Interest Petition charges that the Indian government is...

  • Twins - Double The Trouble Or Double The Pleasure? Both!

    If You're Having Twins..is it double the headache, or double the joy? Probably both!

    What Causes Twins?
    The number of twins is on the increase, probably because of IVF treatment where more than one fertilised egg is placed in the womb.

    Of the non-IVF twins, there are two causes:

    1. Two eggs are released during ovulation and both are fertilised by separate sperm - it is possible twins can be fathered by two different Dads! In this case the twins are not identical (even if they have the same Dad!). Non-identical twins are also known as fraternal, they s ...

  • Wake-Up Call

    Direct Answers - Column for the week of October 7, 2002

    In the first half of May, I went through two remarkable changes. One was physical and the other involved emotional recall.

    The physical one was what I thought was flu and a heavy dose of it. It was accompanied by a surreal shivering never experienced before or since. The recall was of a family I knew in my school days more than 20 years ago.

    I imagined them not during the school years, when I knew them, but much earlier. I got images of all three children as handsome creatures having just come into this world. I saw t ...

  • Hair Loss Factors
    What are the factors that contribute to hair loss? I know I have friends and relative that have suffered hair loss, but they are so different. As I checked into it farther, I found that there are a lot of factors that can contribute to hair loss. Some are natural and others are not caused by natural factors. It seems that there are as many hair loss factors as there are individuals. However, there are some main factors that contribute to a majority of cases.


    Perhaps the most common factor in hair loss is genetics. Likely when you hear the words “hair loss,” you think of male pattern ...
