Recovered Turtle Returns Home
=======================================
What we do is allow the turtle to heal itself," Larry Wood of the Juno Marinelife Center says. "We do that by fighting off infection, topically and through antibiotics, and let the turtle relax and regenerate some of those tissues."

Wood says that the goal is to not only help Isabel, but also the entire species.

Children's Study To Map Healthy Brains
=======================================
On the Healthbeat, there are new immunization requirements for kids heading off to college, and researchers are learning how healthy kids can help children whose brains are not developing normally. There's also a call for more aggressive treatment for the many millions of Americans with high blood pressure.

Lizards Might Choose Offspring's Sex by Sunbathing
=======================================
Lizards might be able to control the sex of their offspring by getting more or less sun and regulating the temperature during gestation, scientists said on Wednesday.

It is not yet clear whether the choice of temperature is deliberate, but one theory is that the cold-blooded reptiles use temperature to control the number of male and female offspring and maintain a balance between sexes in the adult population.


Study: Light Speed May Have Changed
=======================================
New observations from the world's biggest telescope indicate that one of nature's supposedly immutable constants has changed over the 15 billion-year history of the universe.

Study: Soy Formula Is Safe
=======================================
Lines have been drawn in the often heated and controversial debate of whether to feed your baby soy milk-derived formula or cow milk-derived. A new study has some answers about the safety of soy.

People Identify Who They Are by What They're Not
=======================================
In the study, participants reported that knowing that they disagreed with the principles of the National Rifle Association made them feel good about themselves. Distancing oneself from a group or organization in such a way is called disidentification, the researchers note.

and last but not least -

Survival Research Laboratories
=======================================
Producing the most dangerous shows on earth
Since 1979, SRL has staged over 45 mechanized presentations in the United States and Europe. Each performance consists of a unique set of ritualized interactions between machines, robots, and special effects devices, employed in developing themes of socio-political satire. Humans are present only as audience or operators.

Translation: They blow stuff up for fun. Whee!

All three of those zombie flicks were directed by George Romero. Are you sure it wasn't George fighting Anthony Quinn in your dream??

Nah... though maybe he was directing it.

Cesar Romero and George Romero both rock heartily though. I never made the connection!

(I know it was Cesar, because he had his little moustache)

he put the white face paint right over the moustache!

I remember (maybe I'm projecting though) that he was wearing tattered rags, though, not that swell purple suit.

Well, according to the fine folks at Find A Grave, ol' Cesar's buried in Inglewood, CA. It's a long walk to Florida from Cali....no wonder his clothes were a mess. (BTW, Anthony's buried in Rhode Island....so you had a real bi-coastal zombie experience!)

..I was going to suggest Kurt Cobain, but apparently he was cremated (which doesn't lend itself particularly well to zombification). So, how about Jimi?

I'd rather have Jimi, anyway. More diversity. :)
