Scientists believe Brazil has huge underground river

SCIENTISTS IN Brazil believe they have discovered a giant subterranean river flowing several kilometres beneath the Amazon river. A team of geophysicists at the country’s national observatory said an examination of 241 oil wells drilled across the Amazon region in the 1970s and 1980s indicated the presence of a river system up to 4km below the Earth’s surface. The scientists believe the river is up to 6,000km long and, like the Amazon, flows from west to east. “Tests on water temperatures in the wells show that for the first 2,000m, water movement is vertical, going down. But then, between 2,000 and 4,000m, the movement is lateral,” says Valiya Hamza, the leader of ...

NEW YORK (AP) — Nearly 300,000 New York City residents were told Friday to get out of their homes in a first-ever mandatory evacuation as officials ordered an unprecedented shutdown of the city's mass transit system for Saturday in advance of Hurricane Irene, raising the prospect of a singular scramble as hundreds of thousands of residents try to get out of the massive storm's way.Mayor Michael Bloomberg ordered an evacuation by 5 p.m. Saturday for low-lying areas that house about 270,000 people. Meanwhile, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said subways, buses and commuter trains in the city, on Long Island and in the northern suburbs will begin their final runs around noon ...
Giant rat killed by pitchfork in Marcy Houses is believed to be Gambian pouched rat

It sounds like an urban legend: giant mutant-looking rats roaming a city housing project. Only there's a picture. A photo making the rounds shows Housing Authority worker Jose Rivera minutes after he speared the humongous rodent with a pitchfork at the Marcy Houses. It's covered in white fur and looks well-fed. It appears to be about three feet long, including its hideously dangling tail. And Rivera, 48, says it's not the only one. He insists that while he was filling a rat hole last week, three came running out - but he was only able to nail one. "I hit it one time and it was still moving," Rivera said. "I hit it another time and that's when it died. ...

Lead levels among Swiss drop sharply
Post Date: 2011-08-25 05:05:38 by Tatarewicz
0 Comments
Concentrations of lead in the blood of the Swiss population have fallen five-fold since the phasing out of leaded petrol in the 1980s. In a Federal Health Office study adults were found to have 20.6 micrograms of lead on average per litre of blood (µg/l), while children had a level of 14.7 µg/l. These results are well below the World Health Organization safety threshold of 100 µg/l, set in 1995, although some scientists claim that exposure to lead at lower levels can also be harmful. The dramatic fall in lead levels in recent decades can mainly be attributed to the introduction of unleaded petrol in 1985, the study says. The average concentration level for children ...

School's milk crates fall foul of health and safety police Milk crates have been used for years as props for countless games involving ships, cars, dens and castles Now the 25 crates, which have been used as props for countless games involving ships, cars, dens and castles, have been taken away over fears that pupils could be injured on them. "In all the time we have had the crates, we have not had a single child hurt themselves," said Anne Bardsley, a teacher at Wychwood Primary ...

August 21, 2011 – MEXICO – The Mexican government is releasing state-held secrets about the end of the Mayan calendar to the makers of a documentary, “Revelations of the Mayans 2012 and Beyond,” TheWrap has learned. The information — protected for 80 years — is expected to reveal Mayan beliefs in future catastrophes and wisdom characterized as “shocking,” producer Raul Julia-Levy, son of actor Raul Julia, told TheWrap. The end of the Mayan calendar in December 2012 has long given rise to theories and speculation about the end of the world. The agreement will allow Julia-Levy to film in never-before-seen locations. “The Mayans used to construct ...
Elusive lager yeast found in Patagonian forest

WASHINGTON — Deep in the forests of South America's Patagonia region, scientists have tracked down the wild ancestor of the yeast that makes cold-brewing ale possible, according to a US study published Monday. The finding provides the missing piece in a centuries-long tale of beer-drinking, today a $250 billion a year industry, that began with the first batches of European lager brewed in the cool, dank caves of Bavaria. "People have been hunting for this thing for decades," said Chris Todd Hittinger, a University of Wisconsin-Madison genetics professor and a co-author of the study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. "And now we've found ...
Future of fish farming - study

Fish-farm critics got a high-profile assist on the first day of the Cohen commission’s hearings on disease in fish populations, when former Vancouver Canucks defenceman Willie Mitchell showed up to advocate for closed-containment pens. Mr. Mitchell, who grew up in the coastal fishing community of Port McNeill, B.C., had already sent the inquiry a written submission. In it, he called on the public inquiry to recommend fish farms move to closed containment to eliminate mortality stemming from sea lice. Fish-farm opponents have argued that sea lice from the facilities are to blame for the collapse in Fraser River sockeye in 2009 – a collapse the commission was set up to ...

CHANGSHA - Police in central China's Hunan Province said Saturday they have launched an investigation into missing Vietnamese women -- who were bought as wives -- in its remote villages. The probe comes after media reports said some husbands of the missing women received phone calls telling them to pay ransoms, or otherwise, the women would be sold again. About 100 purchased Vietnamese wives are missing from Hunan's mountainous regions. Hu Qiulai and Hu Jianhe are from the same remote mountainous village in Shuangfeng County of Hunan; they lost their wives on the same day. Then two months later, they received phone calls from their wives. "She sobbed and told me that she ...
Lifeguard Sues State-Fired After Refusing to Wear Speedo

The dreaded Speedo swimsuit that many men find objectionable is actually causing some major problems for one 61-year old lifeguard in Long Island’s Jones Beach, who is suing the state after being fired for refusing to wear the curve-hugging swimwear. After some four decades as a lifeguard, Roy Lester was fired from the job in 2007 after he refused to squeeze into the skimpy bathing attire for the annual swim test. The 61-year-old obviously thought the look undignified for men of a certain age, and preferred wearing a pair of biking shorts. For this, Lester lost his job. But now, citing age discrimination, Lester has sued the state. He is arguing that the Speedo is intended for men ...

Interview with Mark Dankof, former US Senate Candidate The US has successfully tested a new type of powerful High-Density Reactive Materials (HDRM) that doesn't throw steel shrapnel and ignites a chemical explosion with a lot more energy than anything seen before. Missiles containing the HDRM can explode with five times the energy of the most powerful existing armament. The new material is a mixture of metals and polymers and is said to be as dense as steel. US Navy scientists claim that projectiles containing the new compound are less likely to kill bystanders. In a Press TV interview, Mark Dankof, former US Senate Candidate, shed more light into this development. The following is ...
West Memphis Three Could Go Free As Early As Today [Update]

Update, 1:13 PM: A judge has accepted an Alford plea and all three men have been freed. The case of the “West Memphis Three”- wherein three young men have spent nearly two decades in a prison for a horrific crime many believe they did not commit- could finally be drawing to an end. It has long been believe that the trio- Damien Echols, now 36, Jesse Misskelley, also 36 and Jason Baldwin, 34- were railroaded based on their appearance and some typical teenage angst. Fears of satanic influence coupled with the boys’ interests and behavior led to a death sentence for Echols, and life in prison for the other two- all teens at the time of the shocking 1993 murders of three local ...

August 18, 2011 — A new study evaluating malpractice risk by specialty has bad news for neurosurgeons — they are getting sued more often than other physicians. In the New England Journal of Medicine study, published August 18, investigators show the proportion of neurosurgeons dealing with a claim each year is 19%, compared with 5% in family medicine. Why are neurosurgeons topping such a nefarious list? Senior investigator Amitabh Chandra, PhD, from Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, told Medscape Medical News the reasons aren't what the malpractice lawyers might argue. "Some will say the numbers are high because neurosurgeons are at the helm of the ...

This pic was snapped by my 25 year old puppy with his digital camera. In the past he's returned with inexplicable orbs from this dark bridge. (You've seen one you've seen 'em all) There are no street lights on this rural road so he avails of either moonlight and/or camera flash. The bridge is about 30 yards long and 18 feet wide and the object in the background is a street sign. There are no other signs or objects in the foreground or middle of the bridge. The bridge has dark colored guard rails. This bridge was a fave destination because of the noises and orbs, but this pic gave us all a genuine case of the willies and "Snakeyboy" and his squeeze, ...
