Are sunspots changing and will that take us to an Ice Age?

re sunspots changing and will that take us to an Ice Age? Kirtland Griffin The answer to the title question is really, nobody knows. But there are some indications that the sunspot activity is not only reduced but has also changed in ways that may indicate a further reduction of the sunspots including having none. First a little note on the status of the major scientific societies in the US. What do these two disparate facts have to do with each other? Let's see. I had been familiar with the American Physical Society for the past year or two through my association with Larry Gould, Professor of Physics at the University of Hartford. It seems that the leadership of the APS was quite ...

Chill out! July coolest on record This July will go into the record books as the coolest for this region [Fort Wayne] in recorded history. Only four days during the month reached average or above-average temperatures. The lower-than-normal temperatures were recorded across parts of northeast Indiana, southwest Michigan and northwest Ohio, according to the northern Indiana office of the National Weather Service. Final temperature statistics for July will be tallied today, but Friday’s high temperature of 79 degrees was a continuation of the unusual summer season. A pool of cool, low pressure that remained over the Fort Wayne area is the cause for the unseasonably cool month, ...
Licensing issues threaten to shut Skype down for good

Skype - in danger of shutting down, or just about to be re-acquired from eBay in a billion-dollar corporate chess game? When eBay bought Skype from Joltid in 2005, the whopping US$2.6 billion price tag didn't include the Global Index peer-to-peer software that the world's biggest Internet Telephony system is based on. And now, Joltid is trying to cancel Skype's license on the Global Index technology in a move that threatens to shut Skype down once and for all. Is it just a canny commercial chess move to force eBay to sell Skype back to Joltid at a huge discount - or is it the end of Skype as we know it? Skype is not only the world's biggest Internet Telephony engine - ...

Dept. * new-bikw-7-09-008 Jumping from an airplane is much too tame for Bob Maddox. He needs something a little more extreme. That’s why he plans to strap himself to a four-engine pulse jet rocket, ride it to around 25,000 feet and then jump off. You might remember Bob from our stories about his pulse jet bikes. The first one got up to 50 mph. That wasn’t fast enough for Bob, who built a twin-engine bike that hit 73 mph. Now he’s back with his latest idea, which amounts to shooting himself almost five miles into the sky and ...

Python lacks microchip but officials are still looking for its owner

Wildlife officials still hope to find the owner of a 14-foot Burmese python that was dragged this weekend from a storm drain in Bradenton, but their job was made more difficult on Monday: A scan of the python found no microchip that would identify the owner. Gary Morse, a spokesman with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, said wildlife investigators will ask questions and try to find the original owner. Morse said it becomes more difficult to locate someone with a snake that was not microchipped. But someone might have information that can help investigators, he said. "It is unlikely that someone would have a snake that large and neighbors and acquaintances would ...

You're Appointing Who? Please, Obama, Say It Isn't So. The person who may be responsible for more food-related illness and death than anyone in history has just been made the US food safety czar. This is no joke. Here's the back story. When FDA scientists were asked to weigh in on what was to become the most radical and potentially dangerous change in our food supply -- the introduction of genetically modified (GM) foods -- secret documents now reveal that the experts were very concerned. Memo after memo described toxins, new diseases, nutritional deficiencies, and hard-to-detect allergens. They were adamant that the technology carried "serious health hazards," and ...
Neanderthal + Homo Sapiens = Large Brains

Could Interbreeding Between Humans and Neanderthals Have Led to an Enhanced Human Brain? Might mating between an ancient human and a Neanderthal - perhaps occurring in only a single instance - have introduced a gene variant into the human population that enhanced human brain function? That question is at the heart of a new study by researchers at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the University of Chicago. The new research, which was published online during the week of November 6, 2006, in the early edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), suggests that human evolution was not just a matter of spontaneous advantageous mutations arising within the human ...

Weed killer kills human cells. Study intensifies debate over 'inert' ingredients. Used in yards, farms and parks throughout the world, Roundup has long been a top-selling weed killer. But now researchers have found that one of Roundup’s inert ingredients can kill human cells, particularly embryonic, placental and umbilical cord cells. The new findings intensify a debate about so-called “inerts” — the solvents, preservatives, surfactants and other substances that manufacturers add to pesticides. Nearly 4,000 inert ingredients are approved for use by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. By Crystal Gammon Environmental Health News June 22, 2009 Used in ...
Money Relieves Pain

Money dulls physical pain and eases the sting of social rejection, new research shows. Through six experiments, psychologists and a marketing professor probed the power of money as a proxy for social acceptance. Among their results, they found that merely touching bills or thinking about expenses paid affected the participants both physically and emotionally. Because it affects pain, money may be a clue to how the brain evolved to process social interactions, the researchers wrote in a paper published in the June edition of the journal Psychological Science. In one experiment, 84 undergraduate student volunteers were divided into two groups and asked to take a "finger-dexterity ...

Tuesday, July 21, 2009 » 09:16am Fish have lost half their average body mass and smaller species are making up a larger proportion of European fish stocks as a result of global warming. 'It's huge,' said study author Martin Daufresne of the Cemagref Public Agricultural and Environmental Research Institute in Lyon, France. 'Size is a fundamental characteristic that is linked to a number of biological functions, such as fecundity - the capacity to reproduce.' Smaller fish tend to produce fewer eggs. They also provide less sustenance for predators - including humans - which could have significant implications for the food chain and ecosystem. A similar shrinking ...
Why I Missed Armstrong's Walk on the Moon

On July 20, 1969, an estimated 600 million viewers around the world watched Neil Armstrong walk on the moon. I was not one of them. I was attending R. J. Rushdoony's weekly Sunday evening Bible study. The moon walk was scheduled to take place before the meeting began. The family that hosted the meeting turned on the television. We viewed a blurred image of an empty moonscape. The camera was ready to record Neil Armstrong's first step onto the moon's surface. We waited. And waited. Nothing. After possibly ten minutes, Rushdoony said, "Let's begin the meeting." Someone dutifully turned off the television, and Rushdoony gave his lecture. After the lecture, ...

CNN) -- It captivated millions of people around the world for eight days in the summer of 1969. It brought glory to the embattled U.S. space program and inspired beliefs that anything was possible. Moon landing hoax theorists point to the "rippling" flag as evidence the landings were faked. It's arguably the greatest technological feat of the 20th century. And to some, it was all a lie. Forty years after Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin set foot on the moon, a small cult of conspiracy theorists maintains the historic event -- and the five subsequent Apollo moon landings -- were staged. These people believe NASA fabricated the landings to trump their Soviet rivals and fulfill ...

Military Developing Half-Robot, Half-Insect 'Cybug' Spies Thursday, July 16, 2009 By Charles Q. Choi Researchers are now experimenting with developing insect cyborgs or 'cybugs' that could work as spies. Miniature robots could be good spies, but researchers now are experimenting with insect cyborgs or "cybugs" that could work even better. Scientists can already control the flight of real moths using implanted devices. The military and spy world no doubt would love tiny, live camera-wielding versions of Predator drones that could fly undetected into places where no human could ever go to snoop on the enemy. Developing such robots has proven a challenge so ...

Oil giant Exxon Mobil is joining with Synthetic Genomics Inc. to research and develop next generation biofuels, using photosynthetic algae. Algae convert carbon dioxide with energy from the sun into cellular oils, even long-chain hydrocarbons which can be processed into fuels compatible with gasoline and diesel and industrial chemicals using existing refining techniques. Exxon expects to spend more than $600-million if research proves up a feasible process, paying SGI up to $300-million as specific milestones are reached. SGI founder, Craig Venter of genome sequencing fame, has found an algae that converts CO2 to methane and another that does the same with coal. His San Diego lab has ...

It's Getting Cold Out There A Commentary by Debra J.

For its next act, the G8 can part the Red Sea. The worst part is: These are the brainy swells who think of themselves as -- all bow -- Men of Science. The funny part is: G8 leaders can't even decide the year from which emissions must be reduced. 1990? 2005?
