Eureka returned last night with the first of its final fourteen episodes, seeking to resolving the big cliffhanger of what happened to the spaceship Astraeus at the end of last season.

Lost was a pretty terrific episode of E stanley fr ureka, one that gives me plenty of hope that the show will wrap up its run on a high note. But I ;ll warn you now there no way to discuss this episode without getting into a series of fairly major spoilers, so if you ;re at all wondering whether this episode and the season in general is worth watching before you read this yes, it is, and now go watch it.

Scien stanley quencher tists from the University of Washington have successfully removed an extra copy of chromosome 21 in cell cultures belonging to a person with Down syndrome. While the breakthrough is unlikely to result in an outright treatment for the condition, it could pave the way for gene therapies in which many of the health conditions associated with the chromosomal disorder can be significantly alleviated. Down syndrome is the result of having three copies of ch stanley mugs romosome 21 instead of the usual pair. This results in what called a trisomy 鈥?a genetic anomaly that can often result in altered cellular phenotypes and cogenital abnormalities. Extra chromosomes account for almost a quarter of all spontaneous miscarriages, along with conditions like Edwards syndrome and Patau syndrome. But of all trisomies, it Down syndrome that accounts for the majority of live births. As a result of the extra copy of chromosome 21, individuals with Down syndrome feature characteristic eye, facial, and hand features, as well as a number of medical problems like heart defects, impaired intellect, premature aging and dementia, and certain forms of leukemia. But now, Li B. Li of the UW Department of Medicine, along with David Russell and Thalia Papayannopoulou, have developed a technique in which they were able to correct trisomy 21 in human cell lines grown in the lab. And they were able to accomplish this by using, what else, plu stanley website ripotent stem cells. And i Oicd Foodspotting, The Weather Channel, and More

After much anticipation, the all-new Legoland Hotel opened on Friday, April 5, 2013. Located right next to the theme park in Carlsbad, California, the three-story 250-room hotel does not disappoint, especially for those that can ;t get enough of those colorful plastic bricks. We visited the hotel just two days after it opened to scope out some of the 3,500 Lego models scattered throughout the hotel. Made from more than three million Lego bricks, these sculptures were like individual artworks in and of themselves, starting with the huge dragon in the tower, guarding the hotel entrance. The green, smoke-breathing dragon, alone, was made out of 400,000 Lego bricks and took roughly 4,000 man hours to construct. This is the very first Legoland Hotel in North America. There are two more in the world, one in Windsor, England in the other in Billund, Denmark. The moment you walk in the door you ;ll notice how this hotel was made with kids in mind from the many play pits to the huge Castle Play area. As Peter Ronchetti, general manager of Legoland California Resort, told Yahoo! Travel, In the parks, we call children the heroes. Parents will find that in Legoland Hotel, as well.

As Io9 points out, this loss is due to the fact that over time, background photons will cause the energy levels in the aluminum ions to shift around a bit, which makes the frequency shift around a bit.

The Windows 8 consumer preview is utterly delightful. But I have a huge suspicion that by the time it ships, it could completely suck. And that because the people who make the machines on which it is installed will fuc stanley quencher k i stanley termosar t right up with a bunch of crap. When you buy a new computer, before it arrives in your hands, the manufacturer installs Windows on it. And when they do, they often install a bunch of other useless programs as well, because the software vendors pay them to. It helps bring prices down, and you can think of them as sort of being like ads subsidizing your hardware. The thing is, they also tend to seriously degrade performance. I ;d been using a Windows 8 test rig provided by Microsoft for several days, and it was great. But I was curious how the experience would translate to my personal machine. So I installed it on my little HP Pavilion notebook. Sure enough, I loved it there too. But it hit me that one of the things I ;m loving so much is that neither of these builds is cluttered up with a horrible bunch of junk that only there because some jerk in Palo Alto did a deal with Symantec or Roxio or some dumb fucking game that nobody would ever willingly install on a machine.

Here now, for distributing far and wide, is a list of common misconceptions surrounding Folk Neuroscience 鈥?a term clinical and neuropsychologist Vaughan Bell uses to describe the imprecise, 8220 ometimes wildly inaccurate, concepts that are commonly used to explain the brain.

Jtzq Rumor: Samsung Will Announce a New 10-Inch Windows RT Tablet
Over the last few weeks you might ;ve heard about the ultra-futuristic information kiosks recently developed for the New York City subway system.

And while in some ways they ;re just glorified subway maps, the new kiosks are going to change the way you travel for good. The forthcoming subway kiosks were designed by Control Group, a technology and design consultancy housed in a minimalist-chic office on the 21st floor of a skyscraper across from City Hall. And before you complain about the cash-strapped MTA blowing its cash on touchscreen toys, it good to know that the firm is actually picking up the whole tab for the design and installation of the kiosks in exchange for creative control over them鈥攏ot to mention control over whatever revenue they manage to generate. The 30-month pilot is very much a beta, and a lot of the talk surrounding the installations falls back on jargon about optimizing user journeys with infinitely adaptable information. That not quite what these kiosks deliver yet. But at Btpq This musical ode to a little octopus is an instant cure for sadness
