McCloud holds night sky astronomy program

May 24, 2014 McCloud holds night sky astronomy program

Anonymous Hendricks County Flyer The Hendricks County Flyer Sat May 24, 2014, 02:50 AM EDT

Expert sky watchers from the Indiana Astronomical Society will partner with McCloud Nature Parks naturalists May 31 for an astronomy program best suited for amateur astronomers ages 8 and older.

The free event, which is open to the community, will begin at 8:30 p.m. with a brief indoor seminar designed to help beginners find their way around the night sky by learning how a telescope works and how to recognize constellations, planets, galaxies and nebulae.

Outdoor night sky viewing will begin at 9 p.m. through binoculars and telescopes provided, or attendees can bring their own.

The indoor seminar will take place rain or shine, but the sky viewing is dependent upon clear skies.

McCloud Nature Park is operated by Hendricks County Parks and Recreation and is five minutes south of North Salem at 8518 Hughes Road.

Admission is always free and the park is open from dawn to dusk daily.

The Nature Centers hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday and from 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday.

For more information on McCloud Nature Park and park programs, call the Hendricks County Parks & Recreation main office at 718-6188 or visit the website at http://www.hendrickscountyparks.org.

Court decision keeps NZ GE-free

Court decision keeps NZ GE-free

A recent High Court decision is a victory for New Zealand consumers, farmers and foresters, says the Soil & Health Association. The High Court ruled against a decision by the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) that two new plant breeding techniques were not genetic engineering techniques.

Soil & Health welcomes the court ruling. Without it New Zealand would have lost its status and international reputation as a producer of GE-free food and fibre.

If the EPAs decision had not been challenged and found wanting, plants bred using these GE techniques could have been planted in New Zealand without any public consultation or monitoring of their effects, said Marion Thomson, co-chair of Soil & Health.

There are other new techniques like this, and they must all be thoroughly and independently scrutinised and the precautionary principle applied. Otherwise, its an uncontrolled experiment that could have adverse effects for people, animals and the environment.

The High Court ruled that the EPA had misinterpreted the law and that it had failed to apply the precautionary principle.

Soil & Health is concerned about the ability of the EPA to protect our environment, says Thomson. We commend the Sustainability Council for challenging the EPAs decision, but we should not have to rely on not-for-profit watchdog organisations to protect our environment. That is the job of the EPA, and we urge them to apply the precautionary principle in any similar decisions in future.

Soil & Health has been informing its members and the public about genetic engineering for over 25 years. It has played a key role in advocating for a GE-free New Zealand for health, environmental, economic and other reasons. The New Zealand public, and our key markets, have consistently opposed genetic engineering in food and the environment.

Gene therapy extends survival in an animal model of spinal muscular atrophy

Posted on by

PUBLIC RELEASE DATE:

22-May-2014

Contact: Kathryn Ruehle kruehle@liebertpub.com 914-740-2100 Mary Ann Liebert, Inc./Genetic Engineering News

New Rochelle, NY, May 22, 2014To make up for insufficient amounts of SMN protein, the cause of the inherited neuromuscular disease spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), researchers have successfully delivered a replacement SMN1 gene directly to the spinal cords of animal models of SMA. A new study demonstrating that enough copies of the SMN1 gene can be delivered to the spinal cord motor neurons to extend the survival of the treated animals is published in Human Gene Therapy, a peer-reviewed journal from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers. The article is available free on the Human Gene Therapy website.

Marco Passini and coauthors from Genzyme (Framingham, MA), University of California San Francisco, Emory University School of Medicine (Atlanta, GA), and Georgetown University Medical Center (Washington, DC) used an adeno-associated viral vector as the delivery vehicle to transport copies of the SMN1 gene into motor neurons in the spinal cord via intrathecal delivery. They report on the effectiveness of restoring the levels of functional SMN protein in normal pig and non-human primate SMA models that would predict efficacy based on gene transfer with the same vector in an authentic mouse model of SMA in the article "Translational Fidelity of Intrathecal Delivery of Self-Complementary AAV9Survival Motor Neuron 1 for Spinal Muscular Atrophy."

"This is a very promising and thorough set of preclinical studies that supports rapid translation to the clinic," says James M. Wilson, MD, PhD, Editor-in-Chief of Human Gene Therapy, and Director of the Gene Therapy Program, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, Philadelphia.

About the Journal

Human Gene Therapy, the official journal of the European Society of Gene and Cell Therapy, British Society for Gene and Cell Therapy, French Society of Cell and Gene Therapy, German Society of Gene Therapy, and five other gene therapy societies, is an authoritative peer-reviewed journal published monthly in print and online. Human Gene Therapy presents reports on the transfer and expression of genes in mammals, including humans. Related topics include improvements in vector development, delivery systems, and animal models, particularly in the areas of cancer, heart disease, viral disease, genetic disease, and neurological disease, as well as ethical, legal, and regulatory issues related to the gene transfer in humans. Its sister journals, Human Gene Therapy Methods, published bimonthly, focuses on the application of gene therapy to product testing and development, and Human Gene Therapy Clinical Development, published quarterly, features data relevant to the regulatory review and commercial development of cell and gene therapy products. Tables of content for all three publications and a free sample issue may be viewed on the Human Gene Therapy website.

Nobody Cares How Awesome You Are at Your Job

In an article published in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science, University of California at San Diego behavioral scientist Ayelet Gneezy and University of Chicago business professor Nicholas Epley tracked peoples responses to three types of promises: broken ones, kept ones, and then ones that were fulfilled beyond expectations. And while its true that everyone gets upset when a promise is broken (Im looking at you, housing-contractors-who-claim-bathroom-renovations-will-be-done-in-a-week), it turns out that overdelivering on something wont make anyone significantly more impressed by your awesomeness. Going above and beyond a promise didnt seem to be valued at all, says Epley.

Epley and Gneezy conducted several studies, ranging from a simple survey of peoples satisfaction after a promise was exceeded to actually promising their subjects something and then seeing what would happen when they broke, met, or outshined it. It turned out that there was almost no change in peoples levels of satisfaction when they were given more than what they were promised. Epley finds this particularly interesting in light of all the promises that companies make to their customers. If you deliver books for Amazon.com and you promise four-day delivery, getting it to people in three days isnt that beneficial to you, says Epley. In other words, this explains why Im only mildly pleased when my plane flight is a few minutes early but Im furious when its delayed.

The reason for this, Epley says, is that promises work a bit like verbal contracts. If I promise you something and you accept that promise, you assume Ill do it, nothing more, nothing less. Interestingly, Epley and Gneezy found that when there was no such contractwhen someone merely hoped that something might happen, but wasnt promised anythingexceeding that expectation made them much, much happier. But when the hope was simply met, people werent as pleased as when it was promised.

It really makes you think about how you spread your effort and how to use your resources wisely, Epley says. If you can guarantee an outcome, youll make your customers (or bosses) happiest when you promise it. But if youre not sure you can do itor if you think you can do it even betteryou might not want to promise anything and surprise them instead.
