Texas A&M is working to save endangered species from extinction, by collecting samples of semen, eggs, embryos and DNA from endangered animals and storing the samples in liquid nitro gen. A&M has been working on this project, called “Noah’s Ark,” for five years and it is similar to China’s recent attempt to clone the endangered panda. When the animals near extinction, these samples can be thawed and used to produce off spring. Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor of veterinary physiology and pharmacology and animal sci ence who is working on Noah’s Ark, said the program entails taking cells from the skin sam ples of adult animals and placing them in incu bators. These eggs and skin cells are then used in a nuclear transfer process. The nuclear transfer process involves drawing the nucleus from the endangered animal’s egg and injecting it into an “enucleated egg,” an egg from a different animal which has had the nucleus removed. “We have produced offspring within the species and have done work with inter-species,” Kraemer said. “But, nobody has made any off spring yet, using the nuclear transfer process. There is still a lot of uncertainty about whether the embryos will develop at all.” Gabriela Florez-Foxworth, a doctor of veteri nary medicine at A&M, also is working on the Noah’s Ark Project. Foxworth said participants are work with whatever tissues has been made available to them, although many of the exotic animals are only found on ranches and zoos, making it diffi cult to get samples. “Few people allow us to collect semen The hirola is also called the Hunter's Hartebeest or Hunter’s Antelope.

Among the most common are Swedish mas sage, sport massage, trigger-point massage and pregnancy massage. “Swedish massage is a more relaxation and stress management type of massage,” she said. “With trig ger-point, we target hypersensitive areas of the body. The sports massage is neat because we find out what the goal of the client is and we work alongside their workouts to help them.” Jones-Hemphill said many students come in for massages to reduce stress, especially during the fall and spring semesters. She said many of the students she sees are freshmen who are experiencing stress because they are trying to acclimate to a new environment. Jones-Hemphill said the pregnancy mail requires special attention because there are! tain things the therapist can and cannot del “With pregnancies, there is a need for4 ferent kind of attention,” Jones-Hemphill 1 “There are certain things that can hunl woman or the baby, so we use side-lying* sage because the pregnant woman can’ her stomach.” Jones-Hemphill said she also teachesl woman’s husband massage therapy he catj on his wife. “I teach the husbands techniques he cafl| throughout the pregnancy and in labor delivery,” she said. “It is basically for the wives’ comfori relaxation and to reduce pain.
