Coach Ursery was blessed to see multiple different examples of big 6A programs where the baseball and football programs worked together in unison although that is not always the case. Coach shares his thoughts on the development of baseball/football athletes. - Any longtime Fort Bend ISD people listening won't want to miss Randy reminiscing of the Fort Bend of the late 80s and early 90s - a time when there weren't so many campuses and every Friday night at Edward Mercer Stadium was a true spectacle to behold, along with his battles against Fort Bend ISD baseball legends like Rick Carpenter, Herb Espinosa, Israel De Los Santos, Clint Welch, Jody Albright, and Rodney Hernandez!! - Finally as the longest tenured Head Coach in Austin Bulldog history, heck the Field is even named after him, we get Coach Ursery's all-time Austin Bulldog Baseball Mt.

After cutting out 10 hours of cat cajoling, we have a short and neat episode about unexplained spheres, ghostly lights in the sky and other random oddities! Some subjects just can't be shoved into one category, or explained easily away. Unless you say its always aliens, which to be fair it probably is. Kelsey covers one of the lesser known phantom lights phenomenon of the USA, the Gurdon light. Why do these hovering lights seem to show up in places all over the country? Where's Canada's mystery lights? Basically what the hell is going on? We theorize what's causing the lights and why they are probably not headlights! Then Alanna takes us to the swingin' seventies and the mystery of the Betz sphere. Go figure that a Floridaman should be the one to find a mysterious smooth metal orb in their yard, no explanation. More strange still, was what it started doing once they took it into the house.... Which all prompts a look at some stone spheres around the world, and what they might have in common with their mysterious metal cousin. Darkcast Promo of the Week: California True Crime

Out past the borders of Gurdon, beyond the illuminated forest, and adjacent to a moss infested graveyard, runs a rusted track believed to be the home of something otherworldly. Locals call it the Gurdon Light - a shimmering glowing fire of a ghostly lantern carried by a slain rail worker. Could this paranormal phenomenon truly be real, or could we shed a little light on the situation to discover that it is not?   Craving more episodes?

The guys head to Arkansas for a creepy mystery...The Gurdon Light!!!

Diese erste vollständige Biografie Oskar Frieds ist die Geschichte eines Getriebenen, vom Zirkusclown zum internationalen Dirigenten, vom politischen Komponisten zum Geheimagenten. Am Beispiel dieses engen Mahler-Freundes, der 1923 die erste Aufnahme seiner 2. Sinfonie leitete, zeigen sich die Mechanismen der künstlerischen Netzwerke seiner Zeit. Die Beschäftigung mit Fried wirft ein Schlaglicht auf das Innenleben des europäischen Kulturschmelztiegels – vom Kaiserreich bis zum Zweiten Weltkrieg, von der blühenden Kultur der Weimarer Republik bis in die Dunkelheit des Nationalsozialismus und der jungen Sowjetunion.

Gurdon, Arkansas is home to something strange. Some say that the bizarre, almost intelligent ball of light that can be seen to this very day since the 1930's, is the spirit of a man who was unjustly killed in an era where crimes of that nature were all too common. Is the Gurdon light the spirit of a vengeful man who died too soon; at the hands of a violent racist? Or, is it something entirely natural and misidentified?

On a cold December morning, the peaceful town of Gurdon was suddenly the target of back-to-back tragedies.  Since then, a mysterious light has been glowing just above the now abandoned tracks off Interstate 30.What, or who, could be lurking there?

In the small town of Gurdon, Arkansas, a strange ghostly light has been witnessed over an old railroad by citizens and tourists alike. Despite scientific investigations on the light, no explanation for its existence has been found. Today, we recount the true crime history of the Gurdon Light.

Travel about 85 miles south of Little Rock, Arkansas along Interstate 30 and you come to the town of Gurdon. In a remote area, several miles outside Gurdon sit railroad tracks for the Missouri Pacific Railroad.  It is along a four-mile stretch of track that sightings of a floating, glowing orb have been reported for the last ninety years, now known as the Gurdon Light. While there are of course scientific theories that attempt to explain the origin of the Gurdon Light, many instead believe the phenomenon is linked to a single event in history, the murder of a railroad foreman in 1931. Perhaps not everything seen along the railroad tracks is scientifically explainable, and if not, how long has the area been that way? Is the light something that only dates to the 1930s, or is it something that has been there much longer? Perhaps the Gurdon Light has always been there, it just took people to give it a name… Additional Links from this Episode: Purchase the Feminine Macabre, Vol. 3.

A mere 30% of Americans think their country is heading in the right direction. President Joe Biden, elected on the promise of being a uniter with better solutions for the COVID-19 pandemic, has resorted to divisive rhetoric and a socialist agenda.It's no wonder many Americans are pessimistic about America's future. Yet, there is reason to be hopeful, says Hugo Gurdon, editor-in-chief of the Washington Examiner. Restoring America, a new Examiner initiative is celebrating what's great about America while at the same time confronting the left's assault on our values."We think that we are at an extremely important point in the country where, as I say, the left is now triumphant and they're pushing successfully against all of the traditional values that have made this country great. We need to push back and we need to encourage people to realize that they can win this fight," Gurdon says. "We need to realize, and people need to realize, that they can steer their country where they wish it to go. Most people do not wish it to go where the extreme left is currently pushing it."Gurdon joins "The Daily Signal" to discuss Restoring America, how it contrasts with The New York Times' 1619 Project, and why he remains encouraged about our country's future.

Unas extrañas luces, unas leyendas macabras y unos acontecimientos reales investigados para resolver un enigma de hace casi 100 años

Juan Gómez nos mete miedo en el cuerpo con la historia de las misteriosas luces de Gurdon, en Arkansas. 

This week on Shootin' Straight with Ken Buck, I had the honor of interviewing Meghan Cox Gurdon. Gurdon is an essayist, book critic, and former foreign correspondent who has been the Wall Street Journal's children's book reviewer since 2005. Her work has appeared widely, in publications such as the Washington Examiner, the Daily Telegraph, the Christian Science Monitor, the Washington Post, the San Francisco Chronicle, and National Review.

This week features two short but strange stories. First up is the story of the Cobbites, a short-lived cult led by a man whose name we still don't know. Then we cover the murderous backstory of the Gurdon Light and cover some of the attempts to explain the phenomenon. We also have more listener ghost stories and Caitlin gives her final thoughts on the Haunting of Bly Manor.

Los investigadores Gurdon y Yamanaka recibieron el premio Nobel de Fisiología y Medicina en el año 2012 “por el descubrimiento de que células adultas pueden reprogramarse para convertirlas en pluripotentes”. Este descubrimiento ha permitido el desarrollo de varias técnicas que permiten obtener células madre mediante la “reprogramación” de células adultas diferenciadas para obtener, a partir de ellas, células especializadas de cualquier tejido. Así se ha abierto un camino a su empleo en terapias celulares de diversas enfermedades musculares, nerviosas, degenerativas, etc. Sin embargo, hasta ahora, las células madre obtenidas utilizando los distintos protocolos tienen baja calidad y eso condiciona su eficacia. María Salazar Roa y un grupo de investigadores del Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Oncológicas (CNIO) han desarrollado un método que puede aumentar significativamente la calidad de las células madre obtenidas por cualquier otro protocolo, lo que mejora la eficacia en la producción de tipos de células especializadas con potencial aplicación en terapia celular.

Los investigadores Gurdon y Yamanaka recibieron el premio Nobel de Fisiología y Medicina en el año 2012 “por el descubrimiento de que células adultas pueden reprogramarse para convertirlas en pluripotentes”.

"When children see still pictures and listen to stories, the brain's architecture is being strengthened and that helps set children up for success." – Meghan Cox Gurdon In part two of this dynamic discussion, Dr. Bob and Meghan continue to talk about the importance of children being read to at an early age, why we need to limit screen time and so much more. You absolutely will not want to miss this conversation! Meghan Cox Gurdon is an internationally-known children's book critic and the author of The Enchanted Hour: The Miraculous Power of Reading Aloud in the Age of Distraction. Her influential weekly column in the Wall Street Journal, which began running in 2005, reaches more than 2 million readers every week. A mother of five, Gurdon is a sophisticated, eloquent and joyful advocate for reading aloud and the social, emotional, cultural, and literary pleasures and benefits that it offers. (Well, that's one way of putting it. Another is: She's a zealot. Meghan Gurdon has been reading aloud every evening since the first of her five children arrived 24 years ago and she not only refuses to stop, but she also hopes to persuade you to do the same!) In the lively, authoritative pages of the Enchanted Hour, she draws on the latest brain science and behavioral research, as well as from literature and personal anecdote, to explore the multifaceted power of a practice that has origins in antiquity and amazing relevance for today's tech-addled families. Amid the depleting distractions of screens and devices, she writes: “A miraculous alchemy takes place when one person reads to another, one that converts the ordinary stuff of life — a book, a voice, a place to sit, and a bit of time — into astonishing fuel for the heart, the mind, and the imagination.” Gurdon graduated Magna cum Laude from Bowdoin College in 1986, and after a stint in as a television producer in New York, moved overseas to marry the English journalist, Hugo Gurdon, and begin work as a freelance foreign correspondent. Based first in Hong Kong, and later in Tokyo, London, Washington, and Toronto, Gurdon reported from dozens of international hot-spots (and cooler ones), including Burma, Cambodia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Somalia, Singapore, France, Germany and Israel. Her print and radio work has run in numerous outlets, such as the Christian Science Monitor, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Washington Post, National Review, Monitor Radio, and the public radio show, “Marketplace.” After 9/11, having had four children in three different countries, Gurdon and her husband decided to relocate one last time, to Washington DC, where they welcomed their fifth child a few short weeks after she began writing her column for the Wall Street Journal.

Good morning. It’s Thursday, September 12th. I'm Crystal Orren, and these are the top headlines from the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. Today will be mostly sunny and warm with a high of 94 and a low of 71. Tonight will be clear and humid. Our top story is: Yesterday, Georgia-Pacific Corp. said it will invest $70 million in its plywood and lumber operations in Gurdon and donate $100,000 to area schools. No jobs will be created with the expansion of a plant that has about 700 employees.

Brian tries to convince Angelo that a tattoo is a good idea, before getting into the posibility of monkey/human hybrids, finding old books on the internet, a Nazi-free Twitter, and how Yelp and Grubhub are being sneaky. In the paranormal segment, the duo see the light and have an in-depth look at Arkansas' Gurdon Light.

Kathryn interviews Author, Lawyer & Human Rights Activist Gregory J. Wallance JD, contributor to The Hill. As Assistant US Attorney for the Eastern District of New York from 1979 to 1985, Wallance was a member of the ABSCAM prosecution team which convicted six US congressmen and a US senator of bribery. Wallance discusses what a price we're paying for Trump's effort to get just one-tenth of the new barriers that he promised. Kathryn also interviews Author & Wall Street Journal Writer Meghan Cox Gurdon, author of the book “THE ENCHANTED HOUR: The Miraculous Power of Reading Aloud in the Age of Distraction”. Grounded in the latest neuroscience and behavioral research is Gurdon's conversation-changing look at how reading aloud makes adults, teens and children smarter, happier, healthier, more successful and more closely attached, even as technology pulls in the other direction.

My guest on RIGHT IN DC is Meghan Cox Gurdon, whom I know from a women’s writing group in Washington that meets once a month to talk with different authors, share tips about writing and the love of reading. I’m so excited to welcome her to this podcast today because she has just written a new book called, “The Enchanted Hour: The Miraculous Power of Reading Aloud in the Age of Distraction”. Meghan has been the Wall Street Journal’s children’s book reviewer since 2005. Her work has appeared widely, in publications such as the Washington Examiner, the Daily Telegraph, the Christian Science Monitor, the Washington Post, the San Francisco Chronicle, and National Review. She lives very close to the ‘belly of the beast’, Washington, DC, in Bethesda, Maryland, is married and has five children. In our discussion, we talk about: • Why it is a powerful thing to read aloud • How she came to this idea • The challenge and distraction of technology • How to go about selecting titles to read to your family • The story of her experiment of having a TV/tech-oriented family read aloud books for three months and what happened • How a child’s vocabulary increases by having books read aloud • How looking at pictures in a book affects the brain • How to start reading aloud in your family • The benefits of reading aloud • How books help people connect to each other MORE WEBSITE: https://www.meghancoxgurdon.com/ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/meghangurdon/ BOOK: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0062562819/ ARTICLES BY GURDON REFERENCED IN PODCAST: “The Great Gift of Reading Aloud” (https://theinnovativeparent.io/2016/11/15/wsj-on-the-great-gift-of-reading-aloud/) “Contemporary fiction for teens is rife with explicit abuse, violence and depravity.

Joining Salena Zito on her show this week is Hugo Gurdon, her boss. Gurdon is the Executive Editor of the Washington Examiner and is here to discuss the upcoming expansion the Examiner magazine is undergoing.

Michael Harrison interviews Hugo Gurdon, editorial director of the Washington Examiner, about its expanded weekly print magazine as well as journalism in the Age of Trump.

The town of Gurdon sits near the heart of timber country in southwest Arkansas, and there's a growing need for logging industry labor in the area. That's why Gurdon Public Schools invested in two timber harvesting simulators to help train students for future jobs in the forestry business.

Geçen defa değişik kök hücresi türlerinden, embriyonun kök hücrelerinin vücudunuzdaki tüm hücreleri nasıl oluşturduğundan ve 2012 yılı Nobel Ödülü'nün bu alanda araştırma yapan iki bilim adamına verildiğinden bahsetmiştim. 1960’lardan önce zannediyorduk ki, bir kök hücresi mesela bir deri hücresine bir kere dönüştü mü artık hep deri hücresi olarak kalır. Erişkin bir hücreyi pluripotent bir kök hücresine dönüştürmenin bir yöntemini bulsak, araştırmalar için embriyo bulmaya gerek kalmayacaktı. Şinya Yamanaka (Fotoğraf: Jun Sella / Flickr) John B. Gurdon, daha öğrenciyken, bunu yaptı. Döllenmiş bir kurbağa yumurta hücresinden çekirdiğini camdan bir pipet ile çıkardı. Daha sonra bir iribaşın bağırsaklarından birkaç hücre aldı, yine camdan bir pipet ile çekirdeğini çıkartıp bunu önceden boşalttığı yumurta hücresine aktardı. O çekirdek gelişkin bir iribaşınki olmakla birlikte, nasıl olduysa hücrenin saati başa sardı ve bağısaktan gelen DNA, normal bir iribaşın gelişme ve büyümesini sağladı. (Bu arada buna “klonlama” deniyor.) Gurdon, elindeki artık özelleşmiş olan erişkin bağırsak hücresini, bir şekilde bir iribaşın ihtiyaç duyacağı her tür hücreye geri dönüştürmüştü. Doktorasını 1960’ta aldıysa da araştırmasını ancak 1962’de, bağısaktaki DNA’nın normal kurbağaların oluşmasına yol açtığından emin olduktan sonra yayınladı. Dolly adlı koyunu duymuşsunuzdur, 1996 doğumlu, ilk klonlanan hayvan. Burada da bilim insanları benzeri bir iş yaptılar, özelleşmiş bir hücrenin DNA’sını, döllendikten sonra DNA’sı atılmış bir embriyoya aktardılar. Bu sefer bağırsak hücrelerini değil, meme bezi hücrelerini kullandılar - Koyunun adı da buradan geliyordu, Country şarkıcısı Dolly Parton’ın adından. Bu teknik kurbağalar ve amfibiler için zaten zorken memeli hayvanlar için daha da zorluydu: Bu yüzden Dolly’nin doğması 35 yıl aldı - Unutmadan, Dolly, 277 deneme içindeki tek başarıydı. 2012 Nobel Tıp veya Fizyoloji Ödülü'nü kazanan diğer bilim insanı ise Dr. Şinya Yamanaka. Yamanaka, erişkin hücreleri pluripotent kök hücrelerine dönüşecek şekilde programlamayı başardı. Ama bunun için camdan pipet değil, genler kullandı. Öyle genler var ki, embriyonik kök hücrelerinin diğer hücrelere dönüşmesini önlüyor. Bu genleri önce ehlileştirilmiş virüslere yerleştirip sonra o virüsleri yaşayan hücrelere musallat ederek canlı hücrelere aktarabiliyoruz. Dr Yamanaka 2006’da farklılaşmış deri hücrelerine bu genlerden 24 tanesini bulaştırdı, ve bir baktı ki bu farklılaşmış deri hücreleri artık aynı embriyonik kök hücrelerine benziyor. Ama Dr. Yamanaka bu genlerin pluripotent kök hücrelerini meydana getiren özgül dörtlü bileşenini bulana kadar çok çalıştı. Bu genlerin, memelilerin döllenmiş yumurtalarının zamanında henüz özelleşmeden, farklılaşmamış olarak kalmak için kullandıkları genler olduğu neredeyse muhakkak. Canlı hücrelere virüs bulaştırmanın bazı muhtemel sakıncaları var, o yüzden şimdilerde DNA’yı değiştirmeden bunu becerecek yöntemler üzerinde çalışılıyor. Bu pluripotent kök hücreleri, düzinelerce değişik türünün bir hücre bankasında saklanmasıyla yüzlerce değişik hastalığın tedavisinde kullanılabilir. Her seferinde kişiye özel hücreleri sıfırdan hazırlamaktansa, kullanıma hazır hücreleri depoda hazır bulundurmak hem para hem de zaman tasarrufu sağlayacak. Japonların kalıtım bilgisi birbirine çok benzediğinden, 75 tür hücrenin toplumun yüzde 80’inin tedavisine yeteceği tahmin ediliyor. Bunun için Yamanaka’nın hedefi 2020 yılı. O vakte kadar, bu hücreleri laboratuvarda tabaklara koyup gözleyeceğiz. Böylece artık sinir, kalp ve karaciğer hücrelerini etkileyen hastalıkların nasıl meydana geldiğini anlamaya başlayabileceğiz. Fibroblast adlı hücreleri sinir ve kalp hücrelerine çevirdik bile. Belki de Parkinson hastalığı ya da tip 1 şeker hastalığındaki gibi hasarlı veya kayıp hücreleri yenileyebileceğiz. Yani çevrecilerin değidiği gibi, çözüm "geri dönüşüm"de... Çeviren: Çağrı Yalgın; Seslendiren: Tevfik Uyar; Müzi...

-NOBEL: ASSEGNATO IL PREMIO PER LA MEDICINA 2012 Sono il britannico John B. Gurdon e il giapponese Shinya Yamanaka i vincitori del Premio Nobel 2012 per la Fisiologia e la Medicina, appena annunciati a Stoccolma. Sono stati premiati per la scoperta delle cellule che possono essere riprogrammate diventando pluripotenti. In pratica sono riusciti a mandare indietro nel tempo l'orologio della vita, trasformando delle cellule adulte in embrionali e regalando loro uno stato di simil-staminali. Una scoperta definita dagli altri scienziati 'rivoluzionaria, e destinata a cambiare totalmente l'approccio alle malattie croniche'. -ARRIVA PRIMA APP SU FARMACOVIGILANZA PER MEDICI FAMIGLIA = Arriva la prima applicazione per iPhone e iPad dedicata alla farmacovigilanza. La nuova App, pensata per i medici di famiglia che la possono scaricare gratuitamente, e' frutto della collaborazione tra Fimmg e Aifa, e ha l'obiettivo di fornire un supporto semplice, efficiente e soprattutto digitale per generare e inviare i moduli relativi alle segnalazioni delle reazioni avverse ai farmaci e per consultare la lista di trasparenza e rimborsabilita' dei farmaci. -DENTISTI ANDI, IN CALO TURISMO ODONTIATRICO, RISCHI SUPERANO VANTAGGI Sta scemando l'interesse degli italiani per le cure dentistiche all'estero, che anzi cominciano a essere viste con diffidenza. Secondo un sondaggio condotto dall'istituto di ricerca Ispo per conto dell'Associazione dentisti italiani (Andi), solo il 4% dei connazionali e' andato dal dentista oltreconfine e tra questi la meta' di loro non lo rifarebbe, mentre l'81% non e' disposto a farlo e solo il 15%, pur non avendolo mai fatto, lo prenderebbe in considerazione. -UNA DONNA OGNI 2 MINUTI MUORE DI PARTO NEL MONDO, AL VIA CONGRESSO FIGO Ogni due minuti nel mondo una donna perde la vita per complicanze durante la gravidanza o il parto. A evidenziare il dato Flavia Bustreo, Assistant Director-General Family, Women and Children's Health dell'Organizzazione mondiale della sanita', in occasione dellafiim presentazione del XX Congresso della International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (Figo), a Roma fino al 12 ottobre.

The 2012 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded jointly to John B. Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka for the discovery that mature cells can be reprogrammed to become pluripotent
