YORK, Maine York High School students got an instant appreciation for life in space after astronaut Chris Cassidy told them to imagine not only attending school, but living in the building as well.
Laughter and groans were heard from those in the auditorium.
I got back six weeks ago from spending six months on the space station, Cassidy told them on Monday. It really was my home.
Cassidy, a 1988 graduate of York High School, compared launch day to Christmas morning and being on the launch pad to stepping onto the field for a York vs. Marshwood football game.
It takes time to get used to zero gravity, he said. Those who have been on the space station for awhile float effortlessly through corridors, while newcomers bump into things, he said.
One of the best parts is sitting, or floating, in the cupola at the bottom of the space station which has an 180-degree view, he said.
Earth appears to spin quickly 250 miles below, he said.

Designer piercings: New membrane pores with DNA nanotechnology
Posted: at 2:42 am
PUBLIC RELEASE DATE:
4-Nov-2013
Contact: Clare Ryan clare.ryan@ucl.ac.uk 44-020-310-83846 University College London
A new way to build membrane-crossing pores, using Lego-like DNA building blocks, has been developed by scientists at UCL, in collaboration with colleagues at the University of Cambridge and the University of Southampton.
The approach provides a simple and low cost tool for synthetic biology and the technique has potential applications in diagnostic devices and drug discovery. The research is featured in the current issue of the journal Angewandte Chemie.
Membrane pores are the gateways controlling the transport of essential molecules across the otherwise impermeable membranes that surround cells in living organisms. Typically made from proteins, pores of different sizes control the flow of ions and molecules both and in and out of the cell as part of an organism's metabolism.
Our understanding of membrane pores comes both from the study of both natural pores, and from equivalent structures built in the lab by synthetic biologists. But synthetic proteins are notoriously difficult to handle due to the complex and often unpredictable ways in which their structures can fold. Even minor protein misfolding changes a protein's properties, meaning that building synthetic pores out of proteins can be risky and time-consuming.
A more straightforward approach is so-called 'rational engineering' using Lego-like DNA building blocks. Although generally known as life's genetic code, DNA strands, which are chemically much simpler than proteins, are far easier and more predictable to work with than proteins. As such they are a useful material for building nanoscale structures in the lab.
"DNA is a construction material that follows very simple rules", said Dr Stefan Howorka (UCL Chemistry). "New nanostructures can be easily designed using a computer programme, and the elements fit together like Lego bricks. So we can build more or less whatever we like."
Using this approach, the team built a tiny tube measuring just 14 nanometres along and 5.5 nanometres across (around 10,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair). This formed the main part of their artificial nanopore. However, to insert the tube into a cell membrane, a key challenge had to be addressed: the water-soluble DNA-based structure will not embed itself into the greasy membrane which is composed of lipids.

DNA clues being tested in 43-year-old cold case

SPOKANE, Wash. -- A Spokane County Major Crimes Detective is digging into a 43-year-old cold case involving the murder of a little boy. New DNA samples are being tested to help lead detectives to the boys killer.
It was 1970 when David Willoughby left his home in on North Elm to hike with a friend to the Spokane Airport to watch planes come and go. Somewhere along the way, Willoughbys friend turned back. Willoughby kept going.
WATCH: Spokane County's newest weapon to track unsolved murders
A driver remembered seeing the little boy walking alone in the Sunset Hill area along Highway 2. Then, Willoughby disappeared.
Willoughbys body was found discarded in the tangled underbrush of Pend Oreille County Park 18 days after he went missing. He had been strangled and sexually assaulted. The Spokane Coroners Office said Willoughby was alive for 8 to 10 days after his disappearance.
Spokane County Major Crimes Detective Kirk Keyser is hoping to bring Willoughbys killer to justice. The fact that the boy was murder 43 years ago is part of what is driving him to solve the case.

DNA Links Jailed Man To Local Child Sexual Assault Case
Posted: at 2:42 am
Earl Arde Mercer (Jail photo/file)
TEMPLE (November 4, 2013) A man whos serving an 18-month state jail sentence in an unrelated case has been served with an arrest warrant charging aggravated sexual assault of a child in the 2006 sexual assault of a Temple girl, who was 13 at the time of the attack.
An affidavit for the warrant, which was served last Thursday, says Earl Arde Mercer, 30, of Temple, had a sexual relationship with the girl in 2006.
When the family of the teenage girl filed a report, evidence including DNA was collected from the victim and preserved, but investigators hit a dead end in their search for a suspect.
But when Mercer was sent to the Bartlett State Jail earlier this year for the unrelated offense, his DNA was routinely collected for a national database.
When the Texas Department of Public Safety ran the DNA sample through the system it matched the evidence from the 2006 child sexual assault case.
On Monday Bell county deputies went to the state jail armed with another warrant, this time to collect another DNA sample from Mercer to confirm the match.
"It's just a matter of time that they're going get caught. Many of these individuals do believe that they're not going be caught and when I went to execute the search warrant today to get DNA on Mercer he was quite surprised," said Michele Cianci with the Bell County Sheriff's Department said.

Media Release 4 November 2013 Facing Facial Eczema and Raising the Bar

Media Release 4 November 2013
Facing Facial Eczema and Raising the Bar
New Zealands largest red meat genetics company is raising the bar in an effort to reduce the impact of facial eczema heading south and becoming more prevalent throughout New Zealand.
Focus Genetics chief executive Gavin Foulsham says they are upping the game and testing more sheep than ever before to breed rams which are resistant to facial eczema.
We have been testing for facial eczema resistance for over 20 years and we are now seeing the benefit of continued selection. But we need to keep improving our genetics and keep on top of facial eczema, which is becoming more prevalent in many areas throughout the North Island.
Facial eczema resistance is a highly heritable trait so farmers can significantly manage the disease in their ewe flocks by selecting for facial eczema tolerant rams.
Facial Eczema is a disease which animals pick up by ingesting fungal spores in the pasture. It attacks the liver and affects their metabolism. The disease impacts on fertility, meat production, wool production and growth rates as well as animal welfare. In a bad year a farmer could lose a significant number of their ewe flock as animals die.
Focus Genetics Senior Animal Breeding Scientist Geoff Nicoll says the company has tested its Romney rams extensively over the last 23 years and its Highlander rams over the last 6 years.
We test mainly young rams as ram hoggets in autumn and we use the selected rams to sire the next generation. This ensures we are getting better genetic resistance. We test more rams than any breeder in the country which gives us high selection pressure.
And the intensive programme is paying off with SIL ranking Focus Genetics rams as the top five highest facial eczema resistant rams in the country recently.
