After Vermont Bill, GMO Labeling Becomes Center Of Debate On Bioengineering’s Future

Posted: Published on April 29th, 2014

The state's governor, Pete Shumlin, is expected to sign a bill that wouldmake the Green Mountain State the nations first to mandate that companies label products containing GMO products, beginning in July 2016. Shumlinhas saidhe will sign the legislation, which many GMO skeptics see as the most significant step yet in the march toward a nationwide re-evaluation of where genetically engineered products stand in the country's food supply. As genetically modified ingredients have become increasingly common, controversy has grown over their persistent creep into products as varied as bread, cereal, tofu and beer.The companies that produce the bioengineered seeds from which GMO crops grow maintain that they are safe for the health of both consumers and the environment.But an international grassroots movement that is determined to slow the spread of products containing bioengineered ingredients -- or at least compel authorities to require that such food be labeled accordingly due to concerns about their long-term effects -- is pushing governments from the United States to Vietnam to reconsider their approach to the burgeoning sector. The Vermont bill is the most recent high-profile development in the GMO regulatory space, but governments from Europe to California have taken, or are considering, measures aimed … Continue reading

Stanford scientists create circuit board modeled on the human brain

Posted: Published on April 29th, 2014

PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 28-Apr-2014 Contact: Tom Abate tabate@stanford.edu 650-736-2245 Stanford University The Neurogrid circuit board can simulate orders of magnitude more neurons and synapses than other brain mimics on the power it takes to run a tablet computer. Stanford scientists have developed a new circuit board modeled on the human brain, possibly opening up new frontiers in robotics and computing. For all their sophistication, computers pale in comparison to the brain. The modest cortex of the mouse, for instance, operates 9,000 times faster than a personal computer simulation of its functions. Not only is the PC slower, it takes 40,000 times more power to run, writes Kwabena Boahen, associate professor of bioengineering at Stanford, in an article for the Proceedings of the IEEE. "From a pure energy perspective, the brain is hard to match," says Boahen, whose article surveys how "neuromorphic" researchers in the United States and Europe are using silicon and software to build electronic systems that mimic neurons and synapses. Boahen and his team have developed Neurogrid, a circuit board consisting of 16 custom-designed "Neurocore" chips. Together these 16 chips can simulate 1 million neurons and billions of synaptic connections. The team designed these chips with power efficiency … Continue reading

UMass Medical Using Virtual Anatomy To Teach Students

Posted: Published on April 29th, 2014

CBS Boston (con't) Affordable Care Act Updates: CBSBoston.com/ACA Health News & Information: CBSBoston.com/Health Receive News, Politics, and Entertainment Headlines Each Morning. BOSTON (CBS) Human anatomy is one of the first courses a student has to take in medical school to study the bodys organs, nerves, vessels and more. Human cadavers have always been used for this purpose and probably always will be but UMass Medical School now has a new, high-tech tool at their disposal which is giving doctors a view into the body like never before. Third year medical students Scott Pascal and Pamela Lu are getting a lesson on human anatomy, but instead of dissecting a cadaver, theyre viewing the deep layers of the human body using this virtual anatomy table. Going through anatomy, when you move from structure-to-structure, you often have to remove things and peel back things and when you get to the end of the block you want to go back to things you learned in the beginning. This would be amazing for that, Lu said. Its full size and life-size and can do a lot of manipulation that other software cant do, Pascal said. UMass is one of the first medical schools in New … Continue reading

Anatomy 101: The Back I — Structure

Posted: Published on April 29th, 2014

Editors Note: This is a continuing series of articles on our bodies, how they function, possible problems and solutions. Go to http://www.thesouthern.com/lifestyles/mindbody to read previous articles. While we typically think of the back as that region from the shoulders to the waist, the strict anatomical description extends from the base of the skull to the tailbone (coccyx named for its resemblance to a cuckoos beak). In effect, the back includes the entire length of the backbone (vertebral column). The vertebral column consists of 33 individual bones (vertebrae) stacked upon one another. The bump one can feel at the lower, back part of the neck when bending the head forward is a part (the spinous process) of one of these vertebrae (the 7th cervical vertebra). The individual vertebra differ in size and shape throughout the vertebral coulumn. At the lower (lumbar) region, the vertebrae are more massive as they are required to support greater loads versus that of the upper (cervical) region. With the exception of the lower nine vertebrae, which are fused together to form the sacrum and coccyx, these vertebrae are neither directly joined nor contiguous. Rather they are connected with one another by a series of muscles and … Continue reading

Anatomy Of The Fight From The Basketball Wives LA Reunion

Posted: Published on April 29th, 2014

Damian Bellino | April 28, 2014 8:35 pm We are going to breakdown that heated fight between Sundy Carter and Brandi Maxiell you just saw on the Basketball Wives LA reunion show. So resident host John Salley asked Sundy about involving Draya Micheles son in their argument in Palm Springs. Sundy said she was sorry she involved the little boy but Brandi called Bullshit. Sundy started yelling back that it wasnt bullshit. John goofed off with the two screaming costars but Brandi had enough and pushed his hand away from her. No! Brandis all, youre a fraud, Sundy because you talked about my kid too. Brandi screams, youre trash! These ladies are like, oh lawd, whats gonna go down? Sundy says nah, she didnt. She continues to antagonize Brandi, You mad. You jealous. Because you cant do what I do. Then she pops out her seat and Brandi follows suit and John has to put himself in between the ladies.
