livescience.com – Sun Jan 11, 9:55 pm ETOne of life's greatest mysteries is how it began. Scientists have pinned it down to roughly this:
Some chemical reactions occurred about 4 billion years ago - perhaps in a primordial tidal soup or maybe with help of volcanoes or possibly at the bottom of the sea or between the mica sheets - to create biology.
Now scientists have created something in the lab that is tantalizingly close to what might have happened. It's not life, they stress, but it certainly gives the science community a whole new data set to chew on.
The researchers, at the Scripps Research Institute, created molecules that self-replicate and even evolve and compete to win or lose. If that sounds exactly like life, read on to learn the controversial and thin distinction.
Know your RNA
To understand the remarkable breakthrough, detailed Jan. 8 in the early online edition of the journal Science, you have to know a little about molecules called RNA and DNA.
DNA is the software of life, the molecules that pack all the genetic information of a cell. DNA and the genes within it are where mutations occur, enabling changes that create new species.
RNA is the close cousin to DNA. More accurately, RNA is thought to be a primitive ancestor of DNA. RNA can't run a life form on its own, but 4 billion years ago it might have been on the verge of creating life, just needing some chemical fix to make the leap. In today's world, RNA is dependent on DNA for performing its roles, which include coding for proteins.
If RNA is in fact the ancestor to DNA, then scientists have figured they could get RNA to replicate itself in a lab without the help of any proteins or other cellular machinery. Easy to say, hard to do.
But that's exactly what the Scripps researchers did. Then things went surprisingly further.
'Immortalized'
Specifically, the researchers synthesized RNA enzymes that can replicate themselves without the help of any proteins or other cellular components, and the process proceeds indefinitely. "Immortalized" RNA, they call it, at least within the limited conditions of a laboratory.
More significantly, the scientists then mixed different RNA enzymes that had replicated, along with some of the raw material they were working with, and let them compete in what's sure to be the next big hit: "Survivor: Test Tube."
Remarkably, they bred.
And now and then, one of these survivors would screw up, binding with some other bit of raw material it hadn't been using. Hmm. That's exactly what life forms do ...
When these mutations occurred, "the resulting recombinant enzymes also were capable of sustained replication, with the most fit replicators growing in number to dominate the mixture," the scientists report.
The "creatures" - wait, we can't call them that! - evolved, with some "species" winning out.
"It kind of blew me away," said team member Tracey Lincoln of the Scripps Research Institute, who is working on her Ph.D. "What we have is non-living, but we've been able to show that it has some life-like properties, and that was extremely interesting."
Indeed.
Knocking on life's door
Lincoln's advisor, professor Gerald Joyce, reiterated that while the self-replicating RNA enzyme systems share certain characteristics of life, they are not life as we know it.
"What we've found could be relevant to how life begins, at that key moment when Darwinian evolution starts," Joyce said in a statement.
Joyce's restraint, clear also on an NPR report of the finding, has to be appreciated. He allows that some scientists familiar with the work have argued that this is life. Another scientist said that what the researchers did is equivalent to recreating a scenario that might have led to the origin of life.
Joyce insists he and Lincoln have not created life: "We're knocking on that door," he says, "but of course we haven't achieved that."
Only when a system is developed in the lab that has the capability of evolving novel functions on its own can it be properly called life, Joyce said. In short, the molecules in Joyce's lab can't evolve any totally new tricks, he said.

talk about coincidence!
can you imagine that
a man named Whitley
started Hollywood?
Get this...
Virginia "GiGi" was his wife
I have a cat called GiGi
GiGi was a 1958 movie
something special to that
I took my name "Whitley" psuedo-deliCALi
quite accidentally (there are no accidents!)
more on this Whitley the man (maybe I was him in another life?)
I will call Dr. Goldstein...hold on...past life regressionist on the line
or maybe I'll call Hans Christian King, or Sylvia Browne...maybe someone who
Who to Call?
Get this...
Whitley the man buried in Chatham Ontario
right next to his nemesis Tecumseh?
How did he get to fight in a war and start Hollywood? huh?
It was the War of 1812
Tecumseh battling endlessly besides,
somebody didnt tell me about my grandma's roots

What spirit do they want to keep alive?
north american politics

Sea Shell City Spatulas; LUCY YA HAVE SOME 'SPLAININ' TO DO...
On the creative ideas (past emotional hurts are backshelved today aren't you glad?)of Spatula City and Seashell City! What a remarkable thing, to find a creative "Hoola Hoop" of an idea striking you when you are bored to death of travelling on the endless Michigan roads of "nothing happening".
Today I have found an unusual interest in the pickled baby shark jars found at SeaShell City (it is closed at Traverse City MI for the season). HOwever, I cannot forget how much inspiration that bottled baby shark in a jar brought my son.
Now that I remember my odd fascination with the macabre oddities of the sea, I am recalling my fascination with those brain corals, whales teeth, and sea dollars as well as sea anemones. Man, how cool! How absolutely amazing these creatures of the sea, plus, they are now illegal to purchase and so when you have one, don't sell it on ebay.
I mean how much more fascinating to have the genuine article! A prototype specimen. It gave me to thinking about spermology, or what the heck, arent sperms eggs?
Look...running out of eggs or the Mother Cells makes me remember something. Why aren't sperms eggs? Why cant we call guys sperms eggs? They are like eggs arent they? If they arent, what are they?
I just dont get it.
Back to the Hoola Hoop.
You mean they could be something in the universe other than the beginning mother egg? OMG!
So back to Seashell City...for a moment.
Isnt there a Cross on a Hill, this HUGE mofo Cross? And wasnt it called...OMG it is beautiful! And I felt that area was really fascinating.
Have you been through a place only to sense something within that connects you to it, like a deja vu feeling?
Ok maybe I am talking...Somewhere In Time, that excellent cult flick with Chris Reeves and Dr. Quinn (Jane Seymour). That is MaKinaw Island (sp please). Do you know that is the original TURTLE ISLAND???Holy crap I found Hiawatha (no, that is Green Doors entry UP Michigan)
I will always remember the smell of Turkey sage dressing when I recall this area. It was some subway joint at St Ignace or around Grayling, when I recall that cold fall day Turkey soup.
Or the time all our money went flying out of the trunk at St. Ignace in one of those vertigo convergences of those Great Lakes Circle Tours. Man that was odd.
And there are so many unexplained things happening there, all the way up and past Lake Superior...
I met an ASTRONAUT at Rossport, Ontario. It was so cool. And we found that miles long Fungus too. Wasnt that in an episode of XFiles? NOt to sound too erie, but yes, Erieau also plays into this travelog discovery.
Those painted rockfaces (Pletroglyphs) sp again please of Agawa Canyon...that odd Twilight during the "Three Hour Tour" through Lake Superior Provincial Park makes one feel there is an awful odd glitch that needs to be questioned...but never answered by the odd doctors that frequent these time/space glitches of places. Another story or two here...
Ok just what is the scoop? The best ice cream on Manitoulin Island (where the natives bury their dead and Hiawatha where the deer woodland ppl marry) and where there is a lot of yellow ribbons and missing ppl (sure ppl just go missing with todays gps and real time webcams EVERYWHERE)...SO WHAT really is going on here in the UNEXPLAINED terror tory? far removed from EVERYDAY life as we knew it but know now it isnt exactly the way as explained, once the thought coil removed from the back of the brain (ty MATRIX).

Today I have found an unusual interest in the pickled baby shark jars found at SeaShell City (it is closed at Traverse City MI for the season). HOwever, I cannot forget how much inspiration that bottled baby shark in a jar brought my son.
Now that I remember my odd fascination with the macabre oddities of the sea, I am recalling my fascination with those brain corals, whales teeth, and sea dollars as well as sea anemones. Man, how cool! How absolutely amazing these creatures of the sea, plus, they are now illegal to purchase and so when you have one, don't sell it on ebay.
I mean how much more fascinating to have the genuine article! A prototype specimen. It gave me to thinking about spermology, or what the heck, arent sperms eggs?
Look...running out of eggs or the Mother Cells makes me remember something. Why aren't sperms eggs? Why cant we call guys sperms eggs? They are like eggs arent they? If they arent, what are they?
I just dont get it.
Back to the Hoola Hoop.
You mean they could be something in the universe other than the beginning mother egg? OMG!
So back to Seashell City...for a moment.
Isnt there a Cross on a Hill, this HUGE mofo Cross? And wasnt it called...OMG it is beautiful! And I felt that area was really fascinating.

Happy New Years Dessert
You can make yourself happy
even with a broken heart
you have repaired with duct tape
I'll tell you how!
First make a good gutteral laugh
i laughed at the sad attempt
to make banana bread without flour
and used left over Christmas Rice Krispies
Noticing the Red and Green Rice Krispies
my guest commented
what are the red and green things
in this banana bread stuffing
This cracked me up and
like any 50 year old woman
Betsy Wetsy
Couldn't stop laughing

Ejecting Rejection
Everytime we were rejected
told we were not loved
or felt we were alone
and therefore unloved
We would remember
what happened to us
what happens to us
is the big picture
we have no contol
only an assembly of chaos
created by whom
trying to create a life
out of what we were/are
ashes
made
flesh
backwards
looking
mirror viewrear
we have come
full circle
into this sphere
we have here
yesterday
i knew i was all that
only to be told i wasnt
not to be that destiny dream
artificial artiface
fronted by another's plan for me
artificial constructs
made with the tribe's consent
woebegone place
for the lone
foot soldier
Today I have regained an understanding
of all that went before
the dreams, schemes and flying machines
of a thousand nights errant
people of pull
those managers all
consented to remove
a piece of me
piece by piece
for some reason
i was a disgrace
Or there was another in the wings
that held the place
of high esteem
the bride of frankenstein
a monster herself
looks inward
at scars
that won't disappear
luckily
the fray is behind me now
i know now how
all these things were made to work
like mr big's clockwork
not so positively (i thought)
for me
but maybe the need
was greater than the want
and I wanted to need you
forever
questions remain
(they always will)
as to the reasons
of rejection
i have my theories
of rejection
i wouldn't have done that to you
of rejection
i didn't leave
of rejection
say it ain't so
you do love me still
and you always will
this i do know
Just wish i could get back
my broken heart
once the lies are believed

Resolving Rejection
There isn't too much left
when all that was to be
thrown away
without regard
to feelings of self
Such high expectations
To plummet to the depths
of despair
loneliness
humility
questioning
integrity
Rejection
You're not wanted
You're not loved
You're not good enough
You're not pretty enough
You're not smart enough
You're not well connected enough
Then why was I ok
for so many years
not to be told
you dont really love me
much sooner
than never
the slam in the face
came from not understanding
true feelings
being deceived
for what reason
to destroy
someone
how ruthless the cold cold heart
honesty honestly
tell tale heart
what makes you feel so confident today
knowing how you broke my heart
years ago
honesty was a vacant
as ed is now dead
who was it, really
who
makes us or breaks us
rejections deception
love's game for gain?
is that snake
that ruins reputations
still slithering here
destroying lives
values and virtues
crashes egos
for political purposes only
when all that was to be
thrown away
without regard
to feelings of self

No Self Like Brain Drain
Diminished Seconds
Music Theory
Unravel Time Coils
On the Metronome
Watching Sounds Tick Tock
While Life Like A Snake
hisses and rattles away
Endlessly
there where there is
No Self
Left on the half-life Shelf
To pass the time
expiry date unknown
Solataire gamers play
Together
Signifying
NOthing
Left overs for Right Handed
Brains
The Moralizers Bread
Condemned Love of Self
Sinful Right Brain Banished
Logic's Cool Calculations
Asking The Creative Right Brain
Left cold-hearted folds of dura mater
depersonalized Spiritmover
Hidden Within Jell-O Covered layers
still
not known
The Person Who's Skull
Held by Hamlet
Questioning
the dead bones of the junk yard dog
now Not To BE
was once To Be
The Two Brains
War
Settled by
The Corpus Collosum's
Dignitaries
separating realities
goey gray matter
slimy fluid -filled brain curls
sea corals
coiled folded estuaries
Delta Phi Kappa of the Sea
Returned to Conquer
Gray slimy fish worms
with electric zeal
No Self
Left
Brain
reduced the self
Left Brain
Is All That's Left
Right Brain
Big and Buldging
Throbbing
Pain of a Brain
Hammering out Suckling Sickles
Sculpting
3D Ideas
in Multidimensional Universes
Full of Brain Dead Masses
Waiting for Action
of Artistic Merit
Creative
Individuals
Finding
No Self
Left
To do the bidding
Who Will Make Art
In The Future?
What Will ARt Look Like
Once Fried
Brains
Dried Up
Remains
Left In the Rain
Melting Down
The Brain Drain
