gene isolation attempted DURHAM NC (UPI) -Duke University researchers say they are trying to isolate the gene that causes a common form of muscular dystrophy and develop a diagnostic test for the disease Dr Allen Roses chief of the division of neurology at Duke said Thursday myotonic muscular dystrophy is the most common form of muscular dystrophy afflicting 40 out of every 100000 people Symptoms of the hereditary disease often do not occur until the person carrying the abnormal gene is 40 years old or older people with the disease are not diagnosed and the onset of symptoms can occur after they have already had their Roses said goal is to find a diagnostic test to identify people who carry the genes and to develop treatments" Diagnosing the ailment before symptoms appear also would allow a couple to decide whether to risk the chance of passing the disease on to their children The disease is sometimes fatal to newborn children and can cause irregular heartbeat Roses said he and Dr Elton Stubblefield of Houston have isolated the chromosome containing the abnormal gene alleviate the stress of being cooped up in a climate-con-trolled house apartment or office building It does absolutely no good to fiddle with the thermostat It simply is too nice a day to be indoors and that The stress however comes not so much from the weather itself as from people telling you it is too nice a day to be indoors I realize that measuring this type of stress is a bit tricky But at least let us begin A good place to start revising the index is with the postulation that the stress of someone telling you it is too nice a day to be indoors equates the stress of someone telling you to have a nice day when all the schools are closed because of rotten weather Jet sale DALLAS (UPI) People Express Airlines and Braniff Airways have announced an agreement in principle for the sale of 20 of Boeing 727-200 aircraft for $4 million each Braniff Chairman Howard Putnam said Monday the sale of the aircraft was a step toward the resolution of its bankruptcy Braniff filed for Chapter 11 under the federal bankruptcy laws last May By DICK WEST WASHINGTON (UPI) -As part of its continuing effort to make meteorological statistics more meaningful the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has come up with a stress The index goes beyond the which as you would know if you ever stuck your nose out the door is determined by combining temperature with wind speed To arrive at the degree of stress the weather is causing add humidity to the wind-chill and then compare the results with conditions in the area I commend NOAA for trying to give us a clearer picture of what is happening outside but two of the assumptions built into the weather stress index are a bit shaky For one thing we seldom have normal weather If it is not colder than normal or warmer than normal it is wetter than normal or drier than normal Therefore no matter what the temperature the weather almost always is causing a certain amount of stress The other dubious assumption is NOAA's premise that stress is primarily associated with winter weather Take for example a day when the mercury Lighter side the intensity of the blizzard True stress depends in large part on such unpredictable elements as whether government workers are given the day off As a rule of thumb the rush hour traffic stress created by federal workers is equivalent to six inches of snow And what about days when the mercury is hitting a balmy 78 the southern breezes are zephyr-like and the air is relatively devoid of water vapor? the fact that you have to be indoors on such a fine day be more stressful than any inclement weather winter is likely to produce? With central heating being what it is even an Arctic-like day in the Sun Belt causes little weather stress except among people who have to be out in it On a glorious day by contrast there is no way to Wanted: Decent photo I never have luck with having my picture taken TTie one on my passport makes me look like too sick to travel and the ones that appear in yearbooks all look like they were taken on a cot in the first aid room I guess why I never look upon getting my license renewed as a chore I look upon it as way of giving me a second chance to have a decent picture to carry around As the woman behind the counter cut my old license in half and told me I could expect my new one within several days I help but smile I was saying goodbye to a picture that made me look like a 75-year-old woman who had just been told by her obstetrician that she is about to make medical history Yesterday the smile left my lips My new license arrived For the next three years (156 weeks 1095 days 26280 hours) I have a picture for identification that makes me look like John Houseman with a migraine My husband looked at it and said did they ask you to do to make you look like I looked over his shoulder is a strange expression are you looking eye is looking at the painted feet on the floor where supposed to stand The other one is lost and trying to find the other Actually I know what I expected People who
