KEEP ON ROCKING IN THE FREE WORLD


LYRICS

Colors on the street

Red, white, and blue

People shuffling their feet

People sleeping in their shoes

There's a warning sign in the road ahead

There's a lot of people saying we'd be better off dead

Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them

So I try Forget them any way I can


Keep on rocking in the free world

keep on rocking in the free world

keep on rocking in the free world

keep on rocking in the free world


I see a girl in the night

with a baby in her hands

Under an old street light

near a garbage can

Now she put her kid away, she's gone to get a hit

She hates her life, and what she's done with it

That's one more kid, that'll never go to school

Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool


Keep on rocking in the free world

keep on rocking in the free world

keep on rocking in the free world

keep on rocking in the free world


Solo

There's a thousand points of light

For the homeless man

There's a kinder, gentler machine gun hand

There's department stores, and toilet paper

Styrofoam garbage for the Ozone layer

There's a man of the people, says people alive

Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive


Keep on rocking in the free world

keep on rocking in the free world

keep on rocking in the free world

keep on rocking in the free world

Human Tissue Regeneration – Junk Science or a Novel Prize Breakthrough?


Another critic of Spievack’s story said that the claims were merely “junk science”. Professor Simon Kay, a leading plastic surgeon and professor of hand surgery at the University of Leeds had dismissed the claims of pixie dust causing finger re-growth. Kay studied the before and after photos of Spievack’s finger injury and said that the injury in the first place did not look serious. To his observations, it was an ordinary fingertip injury with unremarkable healing. He added that all wounds go through a repair process and this is what might have happened to Spievack’s. Because there is a lack of clinical evidences to support the claims of the Spievack brothers and Badylack, Kay had called their story as “absurd and over-egged in the extreme”.

Despite these criticisms, the case of tissue regeneration has reached the US Army’s interest and they are not automatically dismissing this possibility. In fact, the US Army is presently pursuing this line of research and is investing millions of dollars on it. Just recently a wounded American soldier by the name of Harris underwent a history-making procedure that could help him re-grow a finger that he had lost during a bomb attack in Baghdad, Iraq. This surgery is part of a $250 million dollar research pursued by the Pentagon and other national top medical facilities like the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and Cleveland Clinic. Dr. Steven Wolf, the lead research surgeon of Brook Army Medical Center, stated that although the technique of using this collagen dust in regenerating tissues seems to be science fiction, it also appears to be incredibly promising. Wolf further said that if they could pull it off with Harris’ surgery and growing back missing body parts, the next step they would probably do is growing back body organs such as the pancreas and the heart. With a final comment, the surgeon added that in the future, this science fiction discovery may not only benefit the military but also the civilians.

Human Tissue Regeneration – Junk Science or a Novel Prize Breakthrough?

A number of doctors however had criticized the extraordinary story of a regenerated finger. Dr. Stephen Minger, an expert on tissue regeneration and stem cells in Kings College in London, said that re-growing a finger by sprinkling it with powdered pig bladder, although theoretically possible, is definitely unlikely. He had explained that a finger is a very complex structure consisting of skin, fat, tendon, connective tissue, bone and blood vessels. All these complex tissues would have to grow in the right order and the right proportion and positions in relation to each other. The collagen dust would have to persuade the healing stump not to simply form a stump from a scar but to behave as it would have done in a baby growing inside a mother’s womb. He said that salamanders can do this because they have the mechanism to reprogram cells in the body enabling them to form tissues. Humans simply cannot do the same unless an artificial scaffold would be provided in a severed tissue to allow the cells of the tissue to grow into – just like heart valves being grown in laboratories.

Human Tissue Regeneration – Junk Science or a Novel Prize Breakthrough?

Unlike salamanders and sponges, humans, or any mammal for that matter are incapable of growing back limbs or organs lost in accidents or similar events. However, there have been claims made recently regarding the possibility of tissue regeneration. Lee Spievack, a model aircraft enthusiast from Cincinnati Ohio, and his brother Alan, a former surgeon from Harvard and a physician doing research on tissue growth, had said that severed tissues can regenerate when sprinkled with “pixie dust.” Lee who had lost a finger due to a model aircraft propeller in 2005 was convinced by his brother to sprinkle pixie dust on the stump of his lost finger. To Spievack’s amazement, his finger grew back within four weeks of sprinkling the substance.

At the University of Pittsburgh, this pixie dust is referred to as extra cellular matrix from the cells of a pig’s bladders. After the matrix is scraped from the bladder it is dried out and the tissues are formed into sheets or powder. This collagen powder provides a suitable framework for stimulating tissue re-growth and cell division if sprinkled on a wound. According to Dr. Stephen Badylack, the original developer of the pixie dust, the substance consists of a mixture of protein and connective tissues already used by surgeons in repairing tendons. It forms microscopic scaffolding for human cells to occupy and emit chemical signals that encourage other cells to regenerate tissue instead of forming scars. (to be continued)

Apollo 14 Astronaut says ETs are Real

Scientist Edgar Dean Mitchell (born September 17, 1930) is an American pilot and astronaut who reached the Moon in 1971 on Apollo 14. As the lunar module pilot of the latter, he spent nine hours and 17 minutes moonwalking making him the sixth man to walk on the Moon and a record holder for the longest moonwalk.

Just recently, Dr Mitchell has revealed that aliens do exist and that the pictures available to us depicting these "little people" pretty much resembles them accurately. Dr Mitchell described the aliens as "friendly with small bodies, a large head and big eyes."

Dr Mitchell also declared that the aliens are not hostile and that "The UFO phenomena is real."

70 year-old Grandmother Gives Birth to Twins

Omkari Singh Panwar, a 70-year-old grandmother from India gave birth to twins - a boy and girl - via Caesarean section, setting the world record for the oldest mother.

Omraki and her 77-year-old husband Charan Singh Panwar, a retired farmer, were desperate to have a son and heir to the family's smallholdings. In order to pay for an IVF treatment needed by his wife to conceive, Charan sold his buffalos, mortgaged his land, spent his life savings and took out a loan.

The couple already has two grown-up daughters, and five grandchildren, but needed a son to fulfill certain religious functions as mandated by Hindu tradition. Per Hindu practice and belief, only sons are allowed to kindle the funeral pyre of their late parents and to assist in the soul salvation.

Full Report on Omkari's childbirth.
