The feds want to know why Verizon Wireless doubled its fees for smartphone users who cancel their contracts and if the company is gouging customers who accidentally access the net from their phone. It's yet another move from an newly activist FCC.
 How To Relax
Relaxation should not be last on the to-do list. Relaxation is a vital process that decreases wear and tear on the mind and body. Refueling through relaxing can reduce the heart rate, lower blood pressure, increase blood flow to major muscles, reduce muscle tension, reduce headache and back pain, improve concentration and reduce emotional responses such as anger and frustration. Physicians Breathe Life Into Cutting-edge Stem Cell Procedure
Patients living with Myasthenia Gravis may breathe easier thanks to a rare bone marrow transplant procedure. Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is a rare neuromuscular autoimmune disease where the body's immune system, which normally protects the body, mistakenly attacks itself. The transmission of nerve impulses to muscles is interrupted, which ultimately prevents the muscles from contracting. Without the proper nerve impulses, muscles that control breathing can't function. No Hobbits In This Shire: Researchers Say Skeletal Remains Are Pygmy A
The skeletal remains found in a cave on the island of Flores, Indonesia, reported in 2004, do not represent a new species as then claimed, but some of the ancestors of modern human pygmies who live on the island today, according to an international scientific team. 'Rosetta' Software To Unlock Secrets Of Many Human Proteins
University of Washington TechTransfer recently licensed software that will give scientists a huge advantage in the fight against disease. The software, known as Rosetta, predicts how proteins fold, information that is highly valuable to biological and biomedical researchers. Hairpins For Switches: Artificial RNA Ligands Differentiate Between On
How does an organism know when it must produce a protein and in what amount? Michael Famulok and his team at the University of Bonn have now taken a meaningful step toward a better understanding of this process by successfully producing hairpin-shaped RNA molecules that are able to differentiate between riboswitches in the on and off states. New Method For Detecting Fake Drugs Without Opening The Package
With sale of counterfeit drugs causing major problems around the world, scientists in the United Kingdom are reporting development of a new way of identifying fake pills and capsules without opening the product package. In a report scheduled for the March 1 issue of ACS' Analytical Chemistry, a semi-monthly journal, Pavel Matousek and Charlotte Eliasson describe the growing need for non-invasive verification of the authenticity of pharmaceutical products. Sperm Backup: Good or Evil?
In response to questions from commenters about a male birth-control pill, we launch a mini-investigation into whether sperm buildup is a bad, bad thing. In Bodyhack. Successful Test Of Single Molecule Switch Opens The Door To Biomolecul
A team of scientists led by biophysicist Stuart Lindsay from the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University has created the first reproducible single molecule negative differential resistor -- and in the process has developed a groundbreaking experimental technique that provides a "roadmap"for designing single-molecule devices based on biochemistry.
