KERNEL

 

cabin fever is in
today's Kernel. Even
though the
temperature hasn't
been too bad here
recently, you may
need to prepare for
the likelihood of more
snow this year.

A lady in Danville passed
a $200 dollar bill with
the face of President
George W. Bush on it
Monday, possibly to
get extra money to
shop with off OVC, to
an unsuspecting
cashier. Among other
things on the bill were
an oil well and derrick
pumping oil and signs
on the White House
lawn including one
that read "No more
scandals." Either the
lady who passed it
was playing a joke
until she realized that
the Iess—than-bright
cashier was going to
give her change for
her $2.12 order, or the
cashier was in on it.
Either way, I find it
hilarious. The police
say the bill is such an
obvious fake. they
cannot even consider
it a counterfeit.

Here are some other
ways that you can
prepare for the next
bad storm:

Buy de-icer spray for
your car now. If it
turns warm before
you can use it this
year, carry it around
like mace or try to kill
invading pests such as
ants, roaches or your
friend's annoying
Boston terrier (do not
do this, I was just
checking to see if you
were paying
attention).

Cover your windows with
plastic. With any
leftovers, make a
sexy see- through
outfit for your
significant other. If
you don't have one,
wear the outfit
outside and you may
get one for the day if
all goes well.

Freeze loaves of bread
and buy powdered
milk. You never know
when the fresh

 

varieties of the two
items will leave the
shelves faster than 5-
cent double deuces.

Buy a scarf and use It to
start conversations by
saying, "This is similar
to the scarf that
Sharon Stone used In
Basic Instinct, if you
know what I'm
saying." If that
doesn't work as
planned. at least your
neck and face will be
warm.

Buy a remote control
starter for your car so
that you don't have to
leave the house to
start it. Just pray that
somebody doesn't
jump in and steal your
too-coId-to—get-into
car.

the PPD has made several at-
tempts to rid campus of the
starlings.

“We’ve tried everything
over the past few years from
fake owls and snakes to bird
whistles and flashlights."
Ressor said.

Ressor said the PPI) works
with the US. Department of
Agriculture in trying to deter-
mine the best method to battle
the starlings.

So far. Ressor said. the best
idea has been the use of what
are known as screamers , a
projectile that is shot up where
the birds nest. it produces a
screeching sound. which tem-
porarily frightens the birds
away.

Not only are starlings a
nuisance as far as noise is coir

cerned. they also cause health
hazards and drive off other na-
tive wildlife.

But Krupa suggested that
the PPI) should come and talk
to him about ridding the cam-
pus of the starlings.

He says the city can give a
tape that plays the call of the
common grackle. an urban
dwelling blackbird. When
played for three consecutive
nights. the starlings should be
out of the PPIYS hair.

And if that doesn‘t Work.
spray the starlings with deter—

gent water. Krupa said. Their‘

feathers won‘t retain heat and
they will die of hypothermia.
Even though this may not
sound like the most humane so-
lution, a lot of starlings die on
cold nights anyway due to their
high metabolic rates. Starlings
simply run out of energy.

lieves the PP[) has succeeded
in moving the birds. but have

Research offers hope

It's in the genes: Scientists make progress in fight against genetic diseases;
Potential cures and therapies could affect millions of people in the future

ASSOCIAIID PRESS

Diabetes

A common version of an immune system gene
raises the risk of developing the most severe kind of dia-
betes. a study suggests. The finding might someday help
doctors treat the disease.

About 1 million Americans have type 1 diabetes.
and they have to inject themselves daily with insulin.
Genes and the environment both play a role in who
gets it.

Scientists have already identified a few
genetic roots of susceptibility to the dis
ease. atid are pursuing leads on more than
a dozen more.

The new Work is reported in the Febru-
ary issue of the journal Nature Genetics by
Grant Morahan of the Walter and Eliza
Hall Institute of Medical Research in Victo—
ria. Australia. with colleagues there anti
elsewhere.

'I‘hey implicate a gene called ILIZB. It

terleukinrl'l. which encourages the forma-
tion of a certain kind of immune system
blood cell Mouse studies had already sug
gested that under some circumstances. in-
terleukin-12 might play a role in the (level
opinent of type I diabetes.

Morahan and colleagues found evi-
dence in lab experiments that one version
of the gene is more active than another ver-
slim. In studies of people. they found this
more active version showed up more often
in people with type 1 diabetes than one
would expect by chance.

They concluded that this version may
promote the disease by raising interleukin-
IZ production.

This version is extremely common. ap~
pearing in maybe 96 percent ofthe population. Morahan
said. So it would have to team up with other susceptibil
ity genes and some environmental factors before dia-
betes appeared. he said.

Someday. he said. it might become part of a test to
examine susceptibility genes in people with very early
signs of diabetes. Such a test might identify those who
could benefit from some kind of treatment to reduce in
terIeukin-IZ levels. he said. It is not yet clear whether
such treatment would be useful in human diabetes.

David ()werbach. a diabetes gene expert at the Bay-
lor (‘ollege of Medicine in Houston. said the study pro-
vides good evidence that the IIJIZB gene is involved in
diabetes. Since the version linked to the disease is so
common. the gene would not by itself be much help for
predicting diabetes risk. he said,

— William lsaacs.
urology professor

at Johns Hopkins
University

By learning how this gene promotes diabetes. scien
tists should gain a better understanding of the disease.
and that might help them devise better treatments.
he said.

Prostate cancer
For the first time. scientists have apparently
tracked down a gene that makes some families prone to
developing prostate cancer. In the general population.
the gene appears to roughly double the risk of the
disease.

It may play a role in 2 percent to 3 percent of

prostate cancer cases. researchers estimated.
Eventually. once scientists have identified more
genes that make men susceptible to the disease.
they could be combined into a test to identify
men at high risk. said researcher Lisa t‘annon
Albright.
Such men could be followed especially closely
for early signs of the disease. so it can be caught
when it is still in a more treatable form. said
(‘annonAlbrighL of the University of Utah
School of Medicine.
()ne expert called the new finding a break
through but cautioned it will take more work to
see how big a role the gene plays in the disease.
Scientists have already implicated a few known
genes in prostate cancer risk. and there appear
to be at least a halfdoxen more. But the new
work is the first to start with families with a
strong inherited predisposition to the disease
and to identify the responsible gene
Some 198.100 American men will be diagnosed
with prostate cancer this year. and the disease
will kill an estimated :il.."itili Most cases appe ir

largely unknown environmental factors
Most cases appear outside of the tullll'l‘l‘rpl‘tll“
families. Nobody knows how many genes can
raise a man‘s susceptibility. though it appears that no
single gene plays a big role iti inosl prostate cancer cases

Researchers found evidence that a mutated \‘t't‘sltttl
of the gene raised prostate cancer risk in two ot $5.1 fami
lies that showed an inherited predisposition

()ther analysis suggested that certain variants of
the gene may promote the disease, iii the general popu
lation as well. (‘annon-Albright said. Researchers at the
University of Pennsylvania reported recently that two

variants of the gene may roughly double the risk of

prostate cancer.

William Isaacs. a urology professor at Johns llop
kins University who is looking for prostate cancer
genes. said the EIIACZ work has "created tremendous
excitement in our field. There's no question it‘s a
breakthrough."
