Can We Prevent Telomere Shortening?
In case you don’t know, telomeres are tiny caps on the ends of DNA strands. As we age, they wear down. Once they’re gone, we die.
In this video series, Bill Andrews of http://manhattanbeachproject.com/ explains about telomeres and how we may be able to prevent them from wearing off or even extend them

Political correctness sucks!
What a nutty world we in North America live in. Simple words and phrases that used to be common are now WRONG.
When I was kid growing up in a French/Italian neighbourhood we kids called each other Waps and Frogs. No one thought anything of it. It was like kids calling other kids “idiots” or “jerks.” Not “nice” terms but certainly nothing to lose any sleep over.
The funny thing is that now many of those Waps and Frogs are married and raising kids who wouldn't dare use such terrible words.
The 2010 Winter Olympics just finished. The world has heard our national anthem sang hundreds of times all over Vancouver. And now, Prime Minister Harper has this brilliant idea to change the lyrics of the anthem. To be more politically correct, he would like to change the line “in all our sons command” to “thou dost in us command.”
Don’t people have better things to think about?
