    This is how you win a Nobel

    Finding a second code hiding in the genome casts new light on how changes to DNA impact health and disease.


    Scientists have discovered a second code hiding within DNA. This second code contains information that changes how scientists read the instructions contained in DNA and interpret mutations to make sense of health and disease.

    Obama is LOLing.
    Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

    For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

    Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

        Air strike kills 15 civilians in Yemen by mistake: officials

        Fifteen people on their way to a wedding in Yemen were killed in an air strike after their party was mistaken for an al Qaeda convoy, local security officials said on Thursday.


        The officials did not identify the plane in the strike in central al-Bayda province, but tribal and local media sources said that it was a drone.


        "An air strike missed its target and hit a wedding car convoy, ten people were killed immediately and another five who were injured died after being admitted to the hospital," one security official said.


        Five more people were injured, the officials said.

              LOL. We are not going to send humans into space any more. Even that space station is falling apart and on its last days. Robots are far superior than us wimpy humans and will be the astronauts going forward...

              Robot Astronaut Takes One Small Step Toward a Brighter Future for All

              Dentsu Inc. announced Wednesday that on August 21 the robot astronaut Kirobo uttered the first words spoken by a robot in outer space: “On August 21, 2013, a robot took one small step toward a brighter future for all.” Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Koichi Wakata, the first Japanese commander of the International Space Station (ISS), is expected to arrive at his post in November or December this year.

                  This is a pretty cool discovery, but my geneticist friends tell me that it's mostly just a new way of testing something that has been strongly suspected (to the point that it's been taught in intro genetics classes) for a long time. Still seems like a nice contribution though. Certainly there has been a lot of attention paid to gene expression lately. The "blueprint" metaphor hasn't been useful for some time, and now it seems downright naive.

                  The peace prize happens to share a name with the real ones, but it's really not even related. I wish they would stop giving those out. It's a blight on the reputation of the real ones, and it's long been obvious that they're given out to encourage peace, not to reward those who have actually done anything about it. In the case of Obama it seems like they were just assuming he'd be that much more peaceful than Bush and wanted to latch onto him. Meanwhile, it seems he just presided over 15 more innocent deaths via drone strike in Yemen. (Oops Uncle Ted beat me to this one)
