Now scientists have found that young blood actually 'recharges' the brain, forms new blood vessels and improves memory and learning.
In parallel research, scintists at Harvard University also discovered that a 'youth protein' which circulates in the blood is responsible for keeping the brain and muscles young and strong. The protein, known as 'GDF11', is present in the bloodstream in large quantities when we are young but peters out as we age.
Researchers are hoping to begin human trials in the next two to three years.

Perhaps the little wusses could crawl under their desks at school and cover their heads, like we did.
Don't be too mean FredMan. These poor kids don't have the imaginary M-1s, M-14s and Mister Tank too blow away their imaginary fears. Not to mention, don't think they screen movies that will chase their fears away, I stopped worrying about Russians by watching the good stuff:

Yep CF. Take off from McDill circa 1954. I got a steady diet of this when I was in middle school and an absolute boatload of CD material at the beach during summer. It wasn't all hiding under desks. We were being prepared to not only survive but to win.
[An Nahar] South Sudan government forces said Sunday they had overrun the key rebel base of Nasir and the northern oil hub of Bentiu following a major offensive that was launched despite international peace efforts.
Army front man Philip Aguer told Agence La Belle France Presse that the advance had forced rebel leader Riek Machar, who has been fighting President Salva Kiir since mid-December, to flee towards the Æthiopian border.
The attack comes just days after South Sudanese President Salva Kiir agreed during a visit by U.S. Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat, conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State... to hold direct talks with Machar on ending the civil war in the world's youngest nation.
"Our forces captured Nasir this morning. After we launched an assault yesterday with heavy bombardments, the town is ours. The rebels including Riek Machar are fleeing towards the Æthiopian border, we are still advancing," Aguer said.
Nasir, situated close to the border with Æthiopia, has been one of the main bases of Machar and his rebel army.
He said government troops had also moved into the northern oil hub of Bentiu, capital of the oil-rich Unity State and a town that has changed hands several times throughout the conflict.
Independent sources contacted in Bentiu confirmed that government soldiers were now inside the town following a morning of fierce fighting with the rebels.
"Government soldiers are now in Bentiu, they appear to be in control," an independent aid worker in the town said.
Bentiu fell into rebel hands last month, and opposition forces were accused by the United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... of massacring hundreds of civilians in the town. Both sides in the conflict have been accused of war crimes including mass killings, rape, attacks on hospitals and places of worship and recruiting child soldiers.

[An Nahar] Mauritania's radical opposition coalition said Sunday it has decided to boycott next month's presidential election, accusing the nation's rulers of blocking dialogue over how the vote will be run.
The announcement by the front man for the National Forum for Democracy and Unity (FNDU) followed a meeting of the coalition on Saturday amid a row over the timing of the June 21 vote and opposition demands for electoral reform.
"All the political parties affiliated to the Forum decided unanimously to boycott this election," said former prime minister Yahya Ould Ahmed Waghf, the FNDU's main negotiator in the dialogue between the opposition and the ruling majority in the northwest African nation.
He said the FNDU's decision was backed by unions and civil society groups which felt they were excluded from the election process "which is neither consensual nor transparent."
In a widely expected announcement last month, Mauritanian leader Mohammed Ould Abdel Aziz said he would be running for re-election.

[An Nahar] U.S. Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat, conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State... on Sunday urged Democratic Republic of the Congo ...formerly the Congo Free State, Belgian Congo, Zaire, and who knows what else, not to be confused with the Brazzaville Congo aka Republic of Congo, which is much smaller and much more (for Africa) stable. DRC gave the world Patrice Lumumba and Joseph Mobutu, followed by years of tedious civil war. Its principle industry seems to be the production of corpses. With a population of about 74 million it has lots of raw material... President Joseph Kabila to respect a constitutional law which forbids him from seeking a new term in 2016 elections.
"I believe that it is clear to him (Kabila) that the United States of America feels very strongly, as do other people, that the constitutional process need to respected," Kerry said on a visit to the country.
He announced that the United States would provide funding of $30 million (almost 22 million euros) "to support transparent and credible elections as well as recovery... programs in eastern Congo".
Kerry is on his first major tour of Africa, which is focusing on some of the continent's most brutal conflicts.
A U.S. official said Saturday that Washington was ready to help fund the demobilization of some 12,000 rebels active in dozens of militias in the DRC's mineral-rich, restive east, a plan that is estimated to cost about $100 million.
The DRC government has gained more control in the conflict-hit eastern areas since a national army offensive, backed by a special U.N. brigade, forced the powerful M23 rebel group to lay down its arms in November.

Further validation of Kerry as a convenient distraction. A total waste of both rhetoric, money, and jet fuel.
[Washington Post] Divisions deepened in Ukraine's third-largest city Sunday as pro-Russian Death Eaters attacked a cop shoppe in Odessa and freed 67 of their allies, while pro-Ukrainian activists gathered with sticks and clubs and vowed to defend the southern city from the kind of takeovers that have occurred in the eastern part of the country.
The spread of the violence to Odessa has raised the stakes dramatically in the Ukraine crisis, bringing the conflict between pro-Russian and pro-Ukrainian forces to the country's most important port. The failure of the police to prevent the violence has underlined how quickly Ukraine's security forces are losing control of their country.

[HOSTED.AP.ORG] The first openly gay Episcopal bishop, who became a symbol for gay rights far beyond the church while deeply dividing the world's Anglicans, plans to divorce his husband. "Mawwiage is what bwings us togethew today. Mawwiage, that bwessed awwangement, that dweam within a dweam. And wove, twue wove, wiww fowwow you fowevah and evah... So tweasuwe youw wove..."
Bishop Gene Robinson announced the end of his marriage to Mark Andrew in an email sent to the Diocese of New Hampshire, where he served for nine years before retiring in 2012.
Robinson would not disclose details about the end of their 25-year relationship but wrote Sunday in The Daily Beast he owed a debt to Andrew "for standing by me through the challenges of the last decade."
"It is at least a small comfort to me, as a gay rights and marriage equality advocate, to know that like any marriage, gay and lesbian couples are subject to the same complications and hardships that afflict marriages between heterosexual couples," Robinson wrote. "All of us sincerely intend, when we take our wedding vows, to live up to the ideal of 'til death do us part. But not all of us are able to see this through until death indeed parts us."

I think Mark had "Satan" tattooed on his private member, and Gene was tired of getting buggered by Satan.

Meanwhile, the other one has to divorce his wife. How do they determine which is which? Who does the dishes, or is there a more technical definition?
The US Navy has created an online code-breaking game in an attempt to recruit the next generation of cryptologists. The role-playing game is called Project Architeuthis and will be released on Facebook over the coming days.
The game follows the storyline of a US naval cryptologist sneaking aboard an enemy submarine in order to rescue the chief architect of the US weapons programme. Players will decode complex clues sent by the digital cryptologist to discover the location of the submarine and rescue the high profile prisoner.
This is the second time the US Navy has turned to Facebook to try and find recruits through puzzle solving.Previously they posted an alphabet-based game but this was solved within minutes. They are hoping that Project Architeuthis will be harder to complete.
The game has been based on the work Cicada 3301, an anonymous group that has released highly complex problem-solving puzzles onto the Internet, which some have speculated are recruiting tools for groups such as the CIA and MI6.
