ParticipantRe. heredity v. the environment. It is not an either or issue. Both interact dynamically to produce the result or condition.
“Hinshaw: The crucial concept here is one of “gene by environment interaction.” This means that neither genes alone, nor environments and settings alone, predict high rates of mental disorders like depression. But the risk goes way up when a person with a certain form of a particular gene has certain negative life experiences.”“You can say it two ways: Genes matter when certain life experiences occur; or life experiences make a difference primarily for the sub-population with high genetic risk factors.”
“Finally, even for traits or conditions with a strong genetic risk, the overall levels can rise or fall through the environment alone. Height is under strong genetic control, but we’re all taller, on average, than our grandparents. This is explainable by changes in diet, not gene mutations in a couple of generations.”

Participant“The words “condoms” and “Q-tips” appear nowhere in the Senate Finance Committee’s preview of its bill being released as early as Tuesday. But they’re part of a fierce behind-the-scenes lobbying battle over the proposal already under way.”
“The medical-device industry is organizing companies that make everything from CT scans to contact lenses to fight a proposed $4 billion annual fee on device makers, arguing that companies across the board could get hit with the fees. And the industry is trying to rally companies that make even mundane items like condoms and Q-tips to fight the fee, as well.”

Tax you can believe in.ParticipantMarion was definitely one of a kind. She morphed a few times and came back, but the Professor was on to her and she ended up black listed for breaking the rules. I like how this blog is run because it is also a melting pot of personalities and information and whether you post or not, there is always something new to learn. I prefer the civility we have here. If you venture on to other blogs or even the comments section of signonsandiego, the political remarks always degenerate into extreme insults and name calling and we are better than that. Shannon, I appreciate your honesty and always wish you well. I am sure your mother did an outstanding job of raising you and I can tell you are proud of your heritage. Asians have helped make this a great country.
