A strain of bacteria that releases electrons as a waste product could become the secret ingredient for developing fuel cells for spy drones and other small robots. Researchers at Rice University and the University of Southern California have embarked on a project to harness the power of Shewanella oneidensis, a microorganism that essentially spits lightning. Rather than consume oxygen to turn food into energy, Shewanella consumes metals. The waste product of its metabolic process comes in the form of excess electrons stripped from the metals but not recombined in subsequent chemical reactions. The bacteria lives in soil, water and other environments and can extract its necessary ...

Patient Remembers Every Day and Almost Every Detail of Her Life March 20, 2006 -- James McGaugh is one of the world's leading experts on how the human memory system works. But these days, he admits he's stumped. McGaugh's journey through an intellectual purgatory began six years ago when a woman now known only as AJ wrote him a letter detailing her astonishing ability to remember with remarkable clarity even trivial events that happened decades ago. Give her any date, she said, and she could recall the day of the week, usually what the weather was like on that day, personal details of her life at that time, and major news events that occurred on that date. Like any good scientist, McGaugh ...

The term "official 9/11 account" refers to the account of the events of Sept. 11, 2001, as presented in June 2004 by the Commission of Inquiry appointed by President George W. Bush, and complemented by other official documents issued by US government agencies. This account includes various details, such as identities of the alleged hijackers, identities of aircraft, timelines and other data used to prove that the crime of 9/11 was perpetrated by the named individuals under the orders or the inspiration of Osama bin Laden and other al Qaeda leaders.It can be demonstrated by two straightforward mathematical techniques that the official acccount on 9/11 is simply not true.The first ...

Gambling, Sex Manias Called Surprise Risks Of Parkinson's Drugs By Wankar Vedantam Staff Writer Sunday, March 19, 2006; A01 When Wayne Kanuch received a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease in 1993, the last thing he imagined was that the drug prescribed to treat his illness would turn him into a compulsive gambler and put his libido into overdrive. Kanuch's marriage ended in divorce, partly as a result of the sexual pressures he placed on his wife, and he began losing fortunes at the racetrack. He was fired from his job at Chevron for trolling for dates on the Internet while at work, and he quickly went bankrupt. "I contemplated suicide a couple of times," he said in an ...

San Francisco - Bill Gates, the world's richest man, has poured scorn on a revolutionary new 100-dollar laptop designed for the world's poorest children, sparking off a storm of condemnation in cyberspace. Gates' comments came in a speech in Washington on Wednesday in which he touted a much more expensive mobile laptop recently unveiled his own company, Microsoft, reports said Thursday. Gates predicted a bright future for mobile computers and phones but scoffed at the 100-dollar machine being developed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) media guru Nick Negroponte for use by children in the developing world. The devices, backed by Microsoft rival Google, were unveiled at a UN ...

Over the past 20 years, there's been a sea change in the battle for personal privacy. The pervasiveness of computers has resulted in the almost constant surveillance of everyone, with profound implications for our society and our freedoms. Corporations and the police are both using this new trove of surveillance data. We as a society need to understand the technological trends and discuss their implications. If we ignore the problem and leave it to the "market," we'll all find that we have almost no privacy left. Most people think of surveillance in terms of police procedure: Follow that car, watch that person, listen in on his phone conversations. This kind of surveillance ...
Space Shuttle's Launch Pushed Back From May To July

4:31 pm EST March 14, 2006 CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- NASA on Tuesday pushed back the launch of space shuttle Discovery from May until at least July because of a faulty fuel tank sensor. A similar problem briefly delayed last summer's launch of Discovery on the first shuttle flight since the Columbia disaster in 2003. NASA said it needs the time to open up the spacecraft's hydrogen fuel tank and replace the sensor, which gave an electrical current reading that was slightly off. The space agency plans to replace the three other sensors in the tank, too, to be safe. The space agency had been working a tight schedule to meet the May launch date and had little room for any technical problems ...

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - A federal judge said Tuesday he intends to require Google Inc. (GOOG) to turn over some information to the Department of Justice in its quest to revive a law making it harder for children to see online pornography. U.S. District Judge James Ware did not immediately say whether the data will include words that users entered into the Internet's leading search engine. The legal showdown over how much of the Web's vast databases should be shared with the government has pitted the Bush administration against the Mountain View-based company, which resisted a subpoena to turn over any information because of user privacy and trade secret concerns. The Justice Department ...

THE UNIVERSE AS A HOLOGRAM... DOES OBJECTIVE REALITY EXIST... OR IS THE UNIVERSE A PHANTASM? In 1982 a remarkable event took place. At the University of Paris a research team led by physicist Alain Aspect performed what may turn out to be one of the most important experiments of the 20th century. You did not hear about it on the evening news. In fact, unless you are in the habit of reading scientific journals you probably have never even heard Aspect's name, though there are some who believe his discovery may change the face of science. Aspect and his team discovered that under certain circumstances subatomic particles such as electrons are able to instantaneously communicate with each ...

BINYAMINA, Israel, March 10 (UPI) -- An Israeli company says it has developed a system for managing traffic by tracking drivers' cell-phone signals. Based on the idea that most people keep their mobile phones on while driving, Lod, Israel-based Cellint created the TrafficSense system to detect the cellular signals and use them to create a real-time moving picture of what's happening on the roads. "This technology is used to optimize road use by detecting incidents and clearing them quickly, and to (ease) traffic congestion," Cellint Chief Executive Officer Ofer Avni told United Press International in a telephone interview. The service, now used by government agencies and police ...

March 8, 2006 University to Investigate Fusion Study By KENNETH CHANG Purdue University has opened an investigation into "extremely serious" concerns regarding the research of a professor who said he had produced nuclear fusion in a tabletop experiment, the university announced yesterday. Fusion is the process the sun uses to produce heat and light, and scientists led by Rusi P. Taleyarkhan, a professor of nuclear engineering at Purdue, said they were able to achieve the same feat by blasting a container of liquid solvent with strong ultrasonic vibrations. The vibrations, they said, collapsed tiny gas bubbles in the liquid, heating them to millions of degrees, hot enough to ...

13:06 | 07/ 03/ 2006 MOSCOW, March 7 (RIA Novosti) - Russia will build a group of new Soyuz carrier rockets, the head of the country's space agency said Tuesday. Anatoly Perminov said: "We will start construction this year, and have invited partners in the International Space Station to take part in the project. By the end of the year a decision on this issue should be reached by NASA." NASA is expected to contribute financially to the project. Perminov said that creating a new group of Soyuz rockets was necessary to achieve the proposed increase in the number of astronauts working on the ISS from three to six by 2009. The additional carrier rockets will also be needed as ...
Shuttle Woes Put May Launch in Jeopardy; Technical Problems Raise Questions About May Launch

ORLANDO, Fla. - Space shuttle Discovery has two problems a fuel tank sensor that misreads and a robotic arm that was dinged that could potentially delay its planned launch in May. No decision has been made on whether those predicaments will push back the launch of the second shuttle mission since the doomed Columbia flight in 2003, NASA spokesman Kyle Herring said Tuesday. But last week, NASA officials said that sticking to a May launch schedule provided little time to fix any major technical problems. Space shuttle program manager Wayne Hale plans to hear a formal presentation from tank project managers before deciding what to do. "The program hasn't heard the full story," ...
Still Evolving, Human Genes Tell New Story
Post Date: 2006-03-07 20:07:30 by MUDDOG

Providing the strongest evidence yet that humans are still evolving, researchers have detected some 700 regions of the human genome where genes appear to have been reshaped by natural selection, a principal force of evolution, within the last 5,000 to 15,000 years. The genes that show this evolutionary change include some responsible for the senses of taste and smell, digestion, bone structure, skin color and brain function. Many of these instances of selection may reflect the pressures that came to bear as people abandoned their hunting and gathering way of life for settlement and agriculture, a transition well under way in Europe and East Asia some 5,000 years ago. Under natural ...
