Obama signs law hindering efforts to empty Guantanamo. 7 January 2011Last updated at 23:59 President Barack Obama warned Americans the law could "harm our national security" US President Barack Obama has signed a law effectively preventing him from emptying the US detention centre at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. In a statement, Mr Obama said he opposed the restrictions but signed them because they were included in a law funding the US military in 2011. The law forbids him using military funds to transfer Guantanamo inmates to the US, where they could face trial.
Mr Obama pledged in January 2009 to close the facility within a year. He missed that deadline amid bipartisan opposition to the transfer of Guantanamo prisoners to the US, and their prosecution in civilian courts, and difficulties in finding other countries willing to receive inmates cleared for release.

Through extensive research I found that the prosthetic functioned as an assistant to the dominant functioning hand. The prosthetic needed to be both flexible and adjustable in order to accommodate a variety of different grips.

Scientists identify 1 cause of damage in Alzheimer?s disease and find a way to stop it | Science Blog. Researchers suspect that a protein superstructure called amyloid beta is responsible for much of the neural damage of Alzheimer’s disease. A new study at the University of California, San Diego, shows that amyloid beta disrupts one of the brain’s anti-oxidant proteins and demonstrates a way to protect that protein, and perhaps others, from amyloid’s harmful effects. “Amyloid seems to cause damage to cells,” said chemistry professor Jerry Yang.
“We have reported in a very detailed way one potential interaction of how amyloid can cause disease, and we found a way to stop it.” His group’s report of their results will appear in the Journal of Biological Chemistry in December. Their study focused on catalase, an enzyme that mops up excess oxidants, because catalase normally helps to prevent the kind of damage seen in the brains of patients with Alzheimer’s disease and previous work had found catalase proteins deposited within amyloid plaques.

In Suspended Animation - The artwork of Chloe Early | culturazzi. Born in 1980, Chloe graduated from NCAD Dublin in 2003 and moved to London a year later, where she now lives and practices her painting. Chloe’s current works are paintings on aluminum, linen, and perspex. The artist paints figures suspended within colorful abstracted backgrounds surrounded by flowers, jets, and buildings. The bronzed and beautiful figures bring a sense of escapism, glamour, and kitsch into the paintings and stand out in contrast when seen against their architectural backgrounds.
“I employ both representational and abstraction in my work as a way of reflecting what comes before me,” the young artist tells us. Chloe aims to layer motifs and meanings, and uses imagery from a range of sources such as photographs, magazines, books, and the internet. Assassin bug lures spiders by mimicking prey. 27 October 2010Last updated at 04:52 By Mark Kinver Science and environment reporter, BBC News The assassin bugs' behaviour is known as aggressive mimicry, say the authors Scientists have described how a species of insect lures spiders by mimicking prey caught in webs.
Assassin bugs plucked the web's silk threads that replicate the vibrations of a fly or other insect, causing the fooled spider to head towards the bug. Once within reach, the bug slowly tapped the spider with its antennae before lunging and stabbing the lured arachnid with its sharp snout. The findings appear in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
The team from Macquarie University, Australia, said the behaviour - known as aggressive mimicry - was one of two strategies employed by the bug (Stenolemus bituberus) to trap its prey.
