THE decline in the US bee population, first observed in 2006, is continuing, a phenomenon that still baffles researchers and beekeepers. Data from the US Department of Agriculture showed a 29 per cent drop in beehives in 2009, following a 36 per cent decline in 2008 and a 32 per cent fall in 2007. This affected not only honey production but around $15 billion worth of crops that depended on bees for pollination. Scientists call the phenomenon "colony collapse disorder", and it has led to the disappearance of millions of adult bees and beehives and occurred elsewhere in the world, including in Europe. Researchers have looked at viruses, parasites, insecticides, malnutrition and ...

March 22, 2010 — Virgin Galactic announced Monday that its commercial manned spaceship, VSS Enterprise (SpaceShipTwo), successfully completed its first “captive carry” test flight on March 22, taking off at 7:05 a.m. (PDT) from Mojave Air and Spaceport, California, and remaining aloft for 2 hours, 54 minutes. VSS Enterprise remained attached to the WhiteKnightTwo carrier aircraft, VMS Eve, for the entire flight, achieving an altitude of 45,000 feet. Both vehicles are being developed for Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic, by Mojave-based Scaled Composites, whose founder, Burt Rutan commented: “This is a momentous day for the Scaled and Virgin Teams.

Europe's largest windfarm was shut down after a blade snapped off one of the huge turbines, operators said today. All 140 turbines at the Whitelee windfarm on Eaglesham Moor near Glasgow are being inspected by engineers following Friday's incident. ScottishPower Renewables said mechanical failure or a lightning strike could be to blame for the breakage, which it described as 'highly unusual'. The 150ft, 14-tonne, fibreglass blade broke off in the early hours in windy conditions and landed at the base of its tower. Operators at the site's 24-hour control room were alerted to the damage by the turbine's automatic system and immediately closed it down. Sixty-five ...

The Iceland Volcano Eruptions Has Also Produced Some Amazing Video and Photos Iceland had a volcano eruption near the Eyjafjallajokull glacier for the first time since 1820. The Iceland volcano eruption took place under the Eyjafjallajokull glacier, forcing the evacuation of 450 people. Thus far, there has no injuries or property damage caused by the Iceland volcano eruption. Officials are concerned that the eruption under Eyjafjallajokull could cause possible flooding. The ...
GM crops cause liver and kidney damage

A report published in the International Journal of Microbiology has verified once again that Monsanto's genetically modified (GM) crops are causing severe health problems. A legal challenge issued against Monsanto forced the multi-national agriculture giant to release raw data revealing that animals fed its patented GM corn suffered liver and kidney damage within just three months. Adding to the mounting evidence that GM crops are dangerous all around, this information provides a damning indictment against Monsanto which continually insists that its GM products are safe. Not only are GM crops proving disastrous for the environment, but study after study, including those conducted by ...

he Multiplying Mystery of Moonwater
03.18.2010
March 18, 2010: Moonwater. Look it up. You won't find it. It's not in the dictionary.
That's because we thought, until recently, that the Moon was just about the driest place in the solar system. Then reports of moonwater started "pouring" in – starting with estimates of scant amounts on the lunar surface, then gallons in a single crater, and now 600 million metric tons distributed among 40 craters near the lunar north pole.
"We thought we understood the Moon, but we don't," says Paul Spudis of the Lunar and Planetary Institute. "It's clear now that water exists up there in a variety of concentrations and geologic settings. And ...

Texas university has eureka moment for coal-to-gas

Scientists in Texas say they have found a way to convert coal into gasoline at a cost of less than $30 (U.S.) a barrel - with zero release of pollutants Canada has more energy in its "proven, recoverable" reserves of coal than it has in all of its oil, natural gas and oil sands combined: 10 billion tonnes. The world has 100 times more: one trillion tonnes. These reserves hold the energy equivalent of more than four trillion barrels of oil. They are scattered in 70 countries, mostly in relatively easy-to-mine locations and mostly in democratic countries. The United States alone has 30 per cent of the world's reserves, and scientists in Texas say they have found a way to ...
Do You Mind If Mint Sells Data Based On Your Transactions?

Financial blogger Felix Salmon wants to know why there isn't regulatory oversight of Mint and other financial management websites, especially if they're going to sell data created from their users' transaction histories. Mint's CEO Aaron Patzer spoke at SXSW on Saturday and said that the company is sitting on a gold mine of customer data that it may or may not sell. Here's how Salmon paraphrases it in his blog post: [Patzer] started talking about the rich value of all the store-level data he was sitting on. For instance, he said, he can see pretty much in real time how much money his huge database of customers is, in aggregate, spending at Blockbuster vs Netflix vs ...
The Great Storm: Solar Tempest of 1859 Revealed

A pair of strong solar storms that hit Earth late last week were squalls compared to the torrent of electrons that rained down in the "perfect space storm" of 1859. And sooner or later, experts warn, the Sun will again conspire again send earthlings a truly destructive bout of space weather. If it happens anytime soon, we won't know exactly what to expect until it's over, and by then some modern communication systems could be like beachfront houses after a hurricane. In early September in 1859, telegraph wires suddenly shorted out in the United States and Europe, igniting widespread fires. Colorful aurora, normally visible only in polar regions, were seen as far south ...
Climate "Fix" Could Poison Sea Life
Post Date: 2010-03-16 18:19:55 by CadetD

Fertilising the oceans with iron to absorb carbon dioxide could increase concentrations of a chemical that can kill marine mammals, a study has found. Iron stimulates growth of marine algae that absorb CO2 from the air, and has been touted as a "climate fix". Now researchers have shown that the algae increase production of a nerve poison that can kill mammals and birds. Writing in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, they say this raises "serious concern" over the idea. The toxin - domoic acid - first came to notice in the late 1980s as the cause of amnesiac shellfish poisoning. If the end goal is to use it to fight climate warming, then we have to ...
Death Star circling the Sun?

A brown dwarf star may be circling our sun and causing deadly comets to bombard the earth, resulting in mass extinctions which have occurred every 26-million years. NASA scientists have nicknamed the IR-emitting star Nemesis and expect to locate it with a heat-seeking telescope that began scanning skies in January. Nemesis is thought to pull icy bodies out of the more distant Oort Cloud and hurl snowballs toward earth in the form of comets, causing devastation similar to the asteroid that wiped out dinosaurs 65-million years ago.

Spider silk research could lead to new super-materials
Post Date: 2010-03-14 15:53:05 by DeaconBenjamin

Making bricks from straw may soon be possible and even desirable after scientists found spider silk could make ordinary materials stronger than steel. Researchers found that spider silk employs a unique crystal structure that converts an otherwise weak material into one stronger and less brittle than steel or ceramics. They believe in future it may be possible to copy spider ingenuity to create new classes of materials that are both incredibly flexible and strong out of cheap, ordinary elements. Theoretically, they could even be made from wood, straw or hemp, say the scientists. Carbon-based materials made the same way would be even stronger than spider silk. A key property of ...
Get Ready For Third Hand Smoke

Newest tobacco fear reeks of lies Apparently the secondhand-smoke demons aren't scaring enough people... because in their latest desperate move, the Health Nazis have conjured up a new tobacco monster. They're calling it "thirdhand smoke." That's right, folks. You can't make this stuff up. A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences claims that smokers create toxic particles that linger long after their cigarette has been snuffed. The researchers are suggesting that smokers carry a little invisible cloud of these particles around with them wherever they go, kind of like that dust cloud that always follows Charlie Brown's ...

Oregon's monster mushroom is world's biggest living thing By Jeff Barnard Sunday, 6 August 2000 The largest living organism ever found has been discovered in an ancient American forest. The Armillaria ostoyae, popularly known as the honey mushroom, started from a single spore too small to see without a microscope. It has been spreading its black shoestring filaments, called rhizomorphs, through the forest for an estimated 2,400 years, killing trees as it grows. It now covers 2,200 acres (880 hectares) of the Malheur National Forest, in eastern Oregon. The outline of the giant fungus stretches 3.5 miles (5.6 kilometres) across, and it extends an average of three feet (one metre) ...
