Jakarta post: Researches have found a technique to quickly assess disoders in babies This new method, published Wednesday in the magazine Science Translational Medicine, is a proof of concept that it's possible to quickly scan a baby's entire DNA and pinpoint a disease-causing mutation in a couple of days instead of the more typical weeks as months. The study investigation to four babies said that the test could be one of the first partical fruits of the revolution in squencing an individual's entire DNA.

The idea behind the test is to take advantage of what is known about disease symptomps to narrow the search for genetic. And that is a good stop in the right direction, said Dr. Joe Gray, an expert in genome analysis at Oregon Health and Science University. "It's a big genome," said Dr. Joe Gray, who was not involved with the study, "How do you know what part of it to search?"

While more research needs to be done before the test is ready for widespread use, he applauded the effort "If people don't push the envelope like this, then we won't get there," Dr. Gray said.

BRITAIN: They have a show. They have a social networking. Now comes, Wikileaks-the album. Wikileaks is branching out into the entertainment industry, announcing a “Beat the Blockade” CD intended to raise money to keep online transparency advocates afloat.

            The group said in a statement late Thursday that the CD would feature 12 songs including “Where There Are No Secret”, “The Ballad of Julian Assange”, and “B Manning”.

It’s the latest attack outside the secret-busting business for Wikileaks, which has spawned a TV show called “The World Tomorrow” and started its own social network, called Friends of Wikileaks.

            Wikileaks chief Julian Assange says his website, which once featured an anonymous electronic drop box for secret document, has been effectively mothballed by a US financial blockade. -AP

Faster planes and cheaper flights are making it easier than ever before for people to travel. In the most ‘developed’ societies, visiting exotic places is a sought-after status symbol. The tourism industries of both developed and developing countries have recognized this fact and learning to take advantage of it.

 

There are, however some problems associated with this new industry. Firstly, there is the increasing crime rate. Some locals see tourists as an easy prey because, not only are they unfamiliar territory and therefore less able to take care of themselves, but also they carry visible items of wealth, such as cameras and jewelry which can be disposed of quickly for profit.

 

Another major problem is health. With greater mobility comes greater danger of spreading contagious diseases around the world. One carrier returning home could easily start an epidemic before their illness was diagnosed. Moreover, the emergence of many diseases which resist antibiotics is causing scientists to be increasingly concerned about this issue.

 

Also to be considered is the natural environment, which can be seriously threatened by too many visitors. Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, for example, is in danger of being destroyed by tourists and there are plants to restrict visitors to some of the more delicate coral cays.

 

These are just three of the reasons why any country should be wary of committing itself to an extensive tourism development program.
