project1_week1_article#1_This is Scary: Scientists find a way to erase frightening memories
You know that irrational fear of clowns you have because one accidentally popped a balloon animal
in your face when you were a kid? If a new technique developed by
Swedish scientists had existed back then, that fear might never have
developed.
Researchers at Uppsala University
in Sweden have found that it's possible to interrupt the formation of
memories during a crucial stage when they're being cemented in your
brain by proteins. In fact, it seems that memories associated with fears
can be replaced entirely — if caught before this consolidation process
can finish.
By displaying a photograph and simultaneously administering a small electric shock,
the researchers were able to induce formation of a fear memory in test
subjects. Then, by showing half of the subjects the same photo without
the shock repeatedly during the consolidation process, they were able to
stop a sense of fear from being permanently associated with the
picture.
There's still a lot of testing to
be done, but the scientists believe that this technique could
eventually be used to interrupt the association of fear with other
memories, such as witnessing the horrors of war, that might otherwise
lead to disorders like Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Unlike scary clowns, that's no laughing matter.

project1_week1_article#1_WWII gun to be displayed at San Francisco Bay
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A massive gun that was on the battleship Missouri when the Japanese surrendered at the end of World War II will soon be installed on a cliff at the entrance to San Francisco Bay.
The 68-foot-long, 236,000-pound gun will be painted and displayed at the Battery Townsley fortification in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area in the coming months, the San Francisco Chronicle reported on Sunday (http://bit.ly/TYPQj5).
The
gun was set to complete the final leg of its journey to the battery on
Monday after a two-day trip from a naval weapons station in Hawthorne.
Nev.
It will simulate one of two guns that protected the battery during World War II but have since been removed.
"A gun battery
without a gun would be like a railroad museum without a locomotive,"
said John Martini, a retired park ranger who helped refurbish Battery
Townsley.
The original guns
were each capable of shooting a 2,100-pound projectile 25 miles out to
sea, according to the National Park Service.
The battery itself — and another like it at Fort Funston — became a model for gun batteries planned elsewhere on the East and West coasts.
When
Battery Townsley was tested for the first time in the summer of 1940,
its projectile went even farther than expected, according to the park
service. The guns continued to fire practice salvos after that, but the
location of the battery was kept secret.
The gun that will be displayed was one of nine aboard the battleship Missouri.

project1_week1_article#1_Peanut butter recall includes major retailers
WASHINGTON (AP) — A recall of peanut butter and other nut products has some of the country's largest grocery stores pulling store-brand products off their shelves.
New Mexico-based Sunland Inc.
has expanded its recall of peanut butter and almond butter to include
cashew butters, tahini and blanched and roasted peanut products. The
company, which sells its nuts and nut butters
to large groceries and other food distributors around the country,
recalled products under multiple brand names last month after salmonella
illnesses were linked to Trader Joe's Creamy Salted Valencia Peanut Butter, one of the brands it manufactures.
In addition to Trader Joe's, the recall includes some nut butters and nut products sold at Whole Foods Market, Target,
Safeway, Fresh & Easy, Harry and David, Sprouts, Heinen's, Stop
& Shop Supermarket Company, Giant Food of Landover, Md. and several
other stores. Some of those retailers used Sunland ingredients in items
they prepared and packaged themselves.
The
federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said there are now
30 salmonella illnesses in 19 states that can be traced to the Trader
Joe's peanut butter. No other foods have been linked to the illnesses,
but Sunland recalled other products manufactured on the same equipment
as the Trader Joe's product.
Some
of the brand names included in the recall are Target's Archer Farms,
Safeway's Open Nature, Earth Balance, Fresh & Easy, Late July,
Heinen's, Joseph's, Natural Value, Naturally More, Peanut Power Butter,
Serious Food, Snaclite Power, Sprouts Farmers Market, Sprouts, Sunland and Dogsbutter.
Sunland's
recall includes 101 products, and several retailers have issued
additional recalls including items made with Sunland ingredients.
Those
sickened reported becoming ill between June 11 and Sept. 11, according
to the CDC. Almost two-thirds of those who became ill were children
under the age of 10. No deaths have been reported.
Salmonella
can cause diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps 12 hours to 72 hours
after infection. It is most dangerous to children, the elderly and
others with weak immune systems.
