If I can understand that immigrants must be processed and checked for disease, then certainly U.S.-born citizens can too. Anyone can flaunt his politically correct chutzpah, but it doesn't change the fact that a country without borders isn't really a country...
Scientists have suspected that FRMP exerts its braking action by attaching to receptors on the surface of brain cells, known as mGluR5 receptors (the Glu is for glutamate, a key signaling agent in the brain). They reasoned that it would be possible to correct the excesses of Fragile X by blocking these receptors, which act as accelerators of protein production. To test this idea, the researchers produced a special breed of mice that had the Fragile X trait but only half the normal number of mGluR5 receptors. The result, explains Bear: "We were able to correct the excesses [of Fragile...
...come for treatment of conditions ranging from post-surgical pain to migraines. Dr. Ka-Kit Hui, the center's founder and director, says massage is safe and effective across the board, reflecting one of the core concepts of TCM: using physical methods to help stimulate the body to correct its own chemical flow.

...capita income trails that of the U.S., but salaries here tend to be higher than those in Britain. And while it might be easier to fire a worker in Denmark than elsewhere in Europe, companies must follow strict rules that require advance notice of termination. Fox was correct in observing that most workers assume more responsibility than do their fellow Europeans. I have been a resident of Denmark since 1989, and I have no desire to return to Britain. John Barton, Vejle, Denmark...
