Studying Memory in Older and Younger Adults

Memory worsens with age. The older we get, the harder it is to remember things. But when we do remember, how good are we at judging the accuracy of our recollections? Put another way: how confident are we that the stuff we recall matches the reality?ata from prior studies that suggest a decline across the lifespan in a person’s ability to assess the correctness of his or her memory, compared with younger people, who overall seem to do a better job. Researchers now are trying to learn even more about the differences between young and old, and confidence levels associated with memory, in simulating the kinds of situations associated with eyewitness criminal events. Research already has shown that DNA evidence indicates mistaken eyewitness identification has been the major piece of evidence in more than 75 percent of wrongful convictions, Dodson said. Their research could have important future implications in the criminal justice field.

Using Computer Visualization to Predict Stem Cell Behavior

Scientists for the first time have used computer vision technology to predict what will happen to stem cells once they divide, that is, whether they will continue to produce additional stem cells, or become part of a future developing organ.
So what does this mean? could it prevent illness's? If we can now use computers to predict what can happen with cells, what else will we be able to do?

Jet lag & work?!

According to n an accompanying commentary, Mary Harrington, data has proved not only for those who suffer jet lag but also for those who perform rotating shift work, which has been linked to many serious health problems, including breast cancer, stroke, and cardiovascular disease. She also cautions that it will be important to determine whether treatments for jet lag that allow the body clock to shift rapidly are actually better for one's health than the slower adjustments that occur naturally

So flying can cause illness? as can work?!

Database Could Help Solve Missing Person Cases

A new online database promises to crack some of the nation's 100,000 missing persons cases and provide answers to desperate families, but only a fraction of law enforcement agencies are using it.
It basically offers a quick way to check whether a missing person might be among the 40,000 sets of unidentified remains that languish at any given time with medical examiners across the country. NamUs is free, yet many law enforcement agencies still aren't aware of it, and others aren't convinced they should use their limited staff resources to participate.

Janice Smolinski hopes that changss and soon. Her son, Billy, was 31 when he vanished five years ago. The Cheshire, Conn., woman fears he was murdered, his body hidden away.

Some recent successes:

--Paula Beverly Davis, of the Kansas City, Mo., area, had been missing for 22 years until a relative saw a public service announcement on TV in October for NamUs and told her sister, who gave it a try. Among the 10 matches her sister found were a body dumped in Ohio in 1987 that had the same rose and unicorn tattoos as her sister. DNA tests confirmed the body was Davis.
--Sonia Lente disappeared in 2002. In June 2009, an amateur cybersleuth with the Doe Network, a nationwide volunteer group that helps law enforcement solve cold cases, noticed similarities between Lente's description in NamUs and an unidentified body found near Albuquerque, N.M., in 2004. Dental records later established it was Lente.

Sometimes its just fun, and you can make friends. But sometimes you see things you reaaaaaallly dont want to see.

dear john!

So, the director of my FAVORITE movie 'The Notebook', has recently just finished making a new movie, coming out on february 5th.

The movie is basically about a young man (Channing Tatum), who comes back to his home-town, on leave from the army, and within the two weeks he's there, he falls for young girl, (Amanda Seyfreid). They spend the summer together, until he has to leave.

It's a love story, which looks amazing! i cannot wait to see it!

ENGLAND WEATHER!

England has reached a record breaking -17degree's'C .. Which is 1.3degree's farenhite. 1.3!!!

The amount of snow and ice are causing problems all over. School's are closed, and many people have no way to get to work and what not.

It's been a couple weeks since it begun, and doesn't look like it's gonna end anytime soon =/

Dakota fanning for best actress?

Dakota Fanning, young well known actress, who recently did the voice of Coraline, in the movie "Coraline" has been nominated for best actress.. But why would someone who just did a voice over for an animated movie, get an award for best actress? ALOT of debate has been going on over this very subject, and now, talk on a separate category being created just for voice overs is being discussed. I think thats fair enough!
