Researchers aim to resurrect mammoth in five years
TOKYO (AFP) - – Japanese researchers will launch a project this year to resurrect the long-extinct mammoth by using cloning technology to bring the ancient pachyderm back to life in around five years time.
The researchers will try to revive the species by obtaining tissue this summer from the carcass of a mammoth preserved in a Russian research laboratory, the Yomiuri Shimbun reported.
"Preparations to realise this goal have been made," Akira Iritani, leader of the team and a professor emeritus of Kyoto University, told the mass-circulation daily.
Under the plan, the nuclei of mammoth cells will be inserted into an elephant's egg cell from which the nuclei have been removed, to create an embryo containing mammoth genes, the report said.
The embryo will then be inserted into an elephant's uterus in the hope that the animal will eventually give birth to a baby mammoth.
The elephant is the closest modern relative of the mammoth, a huge woolly mammal believed to have died out with the last Ice Age.
Some mammoth remains still retain useable tissue samples, making it possible to recover cells for cloning, unlike dinosaurs, which disappeared around 65 million years ago and whose remains exist only as fossils
Researchers hope to achieve their aim within five to six years, the Yomiuri said.
The team, which has invited a Russian mammoth researcher and two US elephant experts to join the project, has established a technique to extract DNA from frozen cells, previously an obstacle to cloning attempts because of the damage cells sustained in the freezing process.
Another Japanese researcher, Teruhiko Wakayama of the Riken Centre for Developmental Biology, succeeded in 2008 in cloning a mouse from the cells of another that had been kept in temperatures similar to frozen ground for 16 years.
The scientists extracted a cell nucleus from an organ of a dead mouse and planted it into the egg of another mouse which was alive, leading to the birth of the cloned mouse.
Based on Wakayama's techniques, Iritani's team devised a method to extract the nuclei of mammoth eggs without damaging them.
But a successful cloning will also pose challenges for the team, Iritani warned.
"If a cloned embryo can be created, we need to discuss, before transplanting it into the womb, how to breed (the mammoth) and whether to display it to the public," Iritani said.
"After the mammoth is born, we will examine its ecology and genes to study why the species became extinct and other factors."
More than 80 percent of all mammoth finds have been dug up in the permafrost of the vast Sakha Republic in eastern Siberia.
Exactly why a majority of the huge creatures that once strode in large herds across Eurasia and North America died out towards the end of the last Ice Age has generated fiery debate.
Some experts hold that mammoths were hunted to extinction by the species that was to become the planet's dominant predator -- humans.
Others argue that climate change was more to blame, leaving a species adapted for frozen climes ill-equipped to cope with a warming world.

Mysteries of Corp Circles...
Crop circles are one of the things no one can really explain, the government say there hoaxes but that explanation cannot be used for some of the crop circles out there.
A message from Alien.......
We sent a message to space in 1974...and now we got a reply in 2001 ... after 27 years..
The End of the World 2012
2 years TO GO, December 21st 2012, the date which is going on our minds as it is reaching nearer and nearer. That we all know that something is going to be happening on December 21st 2012 which might takes us to the end of the world. But, is it really going to be end of the world? If it so, what might be happen on that day? All these questions might be going in the minds of all at one time or the other.
Based on the ancient Mayan calendar which seems to be more accurate in terms of astrology was said that in the year of 2012, the Earth will experience disasters ranging from massive earthquakes and tsunamis to nuclear reactor meltdowns. Even there were great mathematicians, who claimed that they were able to point out the exact day and time that the world will end in the future, and that is on August 13th 2012, the final day of the Mayan calendar.
The Mayan Calendar is above all a prophetic calendar that may help us understand the past and foresee the future. It is a calendar of the Ages that describes how the progression of Heavens and Underworlds condition the human consciousness and thus the frames for our thoughts and actions with in a given Age.
Aztec calendar
What might be the real? Is it on December 21st 2012 or on August 13th 2012? Who ever knows but both the scientific as well as religious beliefs are prevailing in the minds of the people on this issue. The Science, technology and the scientists behind this are saying that the Hyperspace that contain our Universe is also showing signs that something strange is happening in our universe. Even it was said that the global and solar polar reversal peaks are coming with in three weeks of that day, December 21, 2012.But according to some scientists it is possible that another Universe is slowly starting to claim in our physical Universe. And according to religious beliefs they believe the earth will be destroyed or cleansed by the wrong-doers and those that believe in their God will be saved or brought to heaven.
The astronomer Philip Plait has stated very clearly that the Mayan calendar does not end in 2012 at all, that is like the odometer on your car, as each section of the odometer reaches 9 and then clicks over to 0, the next number to it starts a new cycle, so that when all the numbers again reach 0 all the way across the odometer – the last number will change from 1 to 2 and the new cycle starts all over again.
University of Florida anthropologist Susan Gillespie says that the 2012 phenomenon comes “from media and from other people making use of the Maya past to fulfill agendas that are really their own.”
Psychedelic drug booster Daniel Pinchbeck, “My feeling of 2012 is that we don’t know what is going to be .So rather than looking at it as a Doomsday, we can see it as an opportunity to evolve and become more creative and more intelligent as a species on the planet and use the skills and technical capacities we have to engage in a very deep work transformation”.

Evangely Phelps said that 2012, what is all the hype about? Why is 2012 dubbed as the year of when the world and everything on it will cease to exist? I am not sure why or how it started until now. According to the Mayan Calendar the world will come to an end and why would you say? I have done some investigating to hopefully prove the Mayans wrong. I have also discovered how some people of the American society are making this bigger than it really is. Personally, I don’t think anything is going to happen and life will go on but here is what I have found.
Doing some research, I have discovered that there were many different Mayan Calendars. Some were used for social, agricultural, commercial and administrative tasks but had a heavy religious element to them although our calendars today are only for social, agricultural and economic views – the religious part is not a priority in our calendar system.
The Mayans then combined two calendars to make one, The Calendar Round. The Calendar Round was based on thirteen and twenty base units. The purpose of this calendar was to make it a long term calendar that had 365 days in one solar year and would last for only 5126 years. The reason why the Calendar Round is so significant in the year 2012 is because the 5126 years ends on the date of December 21, 2012. This is where all the hype of the world ending is coming from, this one date of the Mayan Calendar Round. Another phenomenon that is making society more conscious of the date December 21, 2012 is the movie 2012.
According to Mayan Calender
According to the Hyderabad Computer Model, Magnetic Pole reversal happens which is a process where the North Pole and South Pole reverse their positions. When this happens, at some point of time Earth’s magnetic field reaches zero where the Earth’s Magnetic power will be weaken and Cosmic Radiation from Sun will increase many folds making radiation hazards like cancer and so on unavoidable can cause the serious problems which include immune system of all the creatures on the earth might be going to weak; the earth’s crust will going to see the volcanoes, earthquakes and landslides. However, in a simple word it is said that by 2012 earth may not be suitable for human society to live. If this model is true, the only way for us to survive will be to take our civilization well below the Earth’s crust or move to another planet.
With the growth of conspiracy-theories, the level of suspicion and disbelief has grown too. But if there is a good probability that something could happen in your lifetime, there is nothing wrong in preparing for it. Any natural disorder can be faced with a sharp mind and able body, as long as you get the right information ahead of time. Even though many theories and interpretations said about what they find, the only thing that’s certain about the end of the world is that no one can know and are sure that what will happen in the coming future. It may come just like death which is uncertain and we don’t know the time of it. But people undoubtedly continue to think about when this world will comes to an end.
In 2012, it is Suggested That the Sun and the Earth Will be in Direct Alignment with the Black Hole
Big deal? Yea, kinda. . . maybe. You see, scientists speculate that magnetic shifts could take place as a result. In essence, it is theorized that the poles could reverse. The poles have shifted before and Einstein, himself, had suggested this pole shifting theory in 1955.
I’m sure many of you have heard of Merlin the Magician. Merlin was believed to be a Celtic shaman that many of his day considered a “crazed man of the forest” and during those times he was referred to as “Merlin the Wild.” But what many don’t realize is that Merlin was considered Europe’s greatest oracle or “seer.” This “crazed man of the forest” predicted that the planets will “run riot” through the constellations completely off their normal paths of rotation. Scientists speculate that if this were to happen it would be a result of the earth changing it’s rotation – or the poles shifting.
Merlin predicted that the use of “talking stones” Merlin predicted that the use of “talking stones” would be taking place during this time of planetary rioting. For those of you who don’t already know this – stone is the basis of our modern technology. Quartz stones in particular.
Quartz technology is used in cell phones as well as computers. There’s a little quartz crystal in your cell and the computer you’re reading this on right now. And that little stone is the reason you can retrieve the information stored on your computer.
Quartz stores information that can then be retrieved at a later date.

Giant spaceships to attack Earth in 2012?
Photo: DailyMail
Fact or fiction: Will spaceships really attack Earth in 2012?
34 per cent of Americans believe that UFOs exist and they might be right after all.
Believe it or not, researchers at SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) — an independent non-commercial organisation in the United States — released a shocking statement last week that three giant spaceships are heading towards Earth, according to AsiaOne News.
The largest one of them is reported to be 240 kilometres wide, and the two others are smaller.
The spaceships were detected by the Alaska-based High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) search system, which is designed to study the phenomenon of northern lights. The system is also used by the US Air Force for missile detection.
Moreover, the report claims that the spaceships, which are currently beyond the orbit of Pluto, will reach Earth in December 2012.
But get this — that also coincides with the end of Mayan calendar, whose last day is December 21, 2012 (this was the subject of the recent movie, “2012″). These spaceships will only be visible in optical telescopes as soon as they reach Mars’s orbit and the US government has reportedly been informed about the event.
Why is this probably a hoax?
I was chatting on Facebook with my fellow classmate Ng Zhan Ming, an ASEAN scholar interested in astronomy, and he dismissed the spaceship reports as wild speculation.
He gave me valid reasons why this strange phenomenon will not occur.
Firstly, why would aliens wait until after we have developed nuclear weapons capable of mass destruction? They could have set their invasion schedule to early 20th century and met no resistance from the human race.
Secondly, many countries all over the world, especially United States’ NASA, have satellites in orbit. Why is it that only one system saw it?
And we have the Hubble Space Telescope that can zoom in roughly 40 times closer than a ground-based telescope to see the furthest of the galaxies. But apparently, it did not detect any spaceships while the HAARP system did.
In addition, the report claims that UFOs will attack Earth in December 2012, which coincides with the end of the Mayan calendar.
According to a FAQ article published by NASA in 2009, “Nothing bad will happen to the Earth in 2012. Our planet has been getting along just fine for more than 4 billion years and credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012.”
Should we believe NASA or SETI (an independent organisation) and the Mayans who created the ancient calendar 10,000 years ago?
As mentioned earlier, Barack Obama’s administration has been notified about the findings by the SETI researchers.
However, no official word from the White House or NASA has been released so far. This is not a military secret so there is no point hiding the fact if what the SETI scientists predicted was really true
