Daily Science: NASA pullout could cut 'hope' short
http://daily-science.blogspot.com/2008/05/nasa-pullout-could-cut-hope-short.html
NASA pullout could cut 'hope' short. The space shuttle Discovery, scheduled for liftoff Saturday, will take to orbit a project nearly 25 years and $1 billion in the making: one of the biggest laboratories ever built for the International Space Station. Excitement over the launch is tempered by concern that the lab's mission may be cut short if NASA follows through on its plan to withdraw from the station after 2015. Withdrawing from the station for lack of money a few years after finishing it is "like bu...

Supermassive black hole batters adjacent galaxy with powerful jets. A massive black hole present at the center of a galaxy is battering a nearby galaxy with powerful jets of particles, according to latest images released by NASA. The two galaxies are in the process of merging with each other but the smaller one has unfortunately come in the way of the jet's line that is powerful enough to destroy any planets that is positioned in its way. The images of these powerful jets were obtained courtesy of the Ch...

Daily Science: Sex, Age And Ethnicity Assciated With Colorectal Cancer Survival
http://daily-science.blogspot.com/2008/05/sex-age-and-ethnicity-assciated-with.html
Sex, Age And Ethnicity Assciated With Colorectal Cancer Survival. The interaction of sex, age and ethnicity has a significant impact on overall survival in metastatic colorectal cancer (MCRC) patients, a study led by researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) and USC/Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center suggests. The study adds to the growing evidence that female hormones are protective for colon cancer, researchers say. Researchers also found that certain ethnicities had better overall sur...

Save The Deers Off The Road! Hanover, Germany - A motorists' group in Germany on Monday demanded greater use of repulsive odours to keep deer off roads. Deer are scared by the smell of humans and wolves, so the decade-old German technology requires a foam containing those odours to be stuck to trees every 5 metres along the side of the road. March 22 - March 29. May 25 - June 1. March 23 - March 30. December 16 - December 23. Save The Deers Off The Road! Supermassive black hole batters adjacent galaxy wi.

When The West Was Really Wild. Soon after humans crossed the Bering land bridge into North America some. 13,000 years ago, almost 75 percent of the continent’s large mammals (those. Weighing more than 45 kilograms) disappeared (color). One of the goals of. Pleistocene rewilding is to restore some of these species or close proxies to the. American West. For example, the same species of lion and cheetah that once. Lived in North America survive today in Africa; the African or Asian elephant. The cats were ...

World's Greatest Extinction Not Caused By Toxic Gases. For National Geographic News. March 24, 2008. Poisonous, ozone-destroying gases bubbling out of the oceans may not have triggered the world's greatest mass extinction after all, a new study shows. The "Great Dying" took place about 251 million years ago, at the end of the Permian period, when the world lost about 90 percent of its ocean species and 70 percent of its land species. But the discovery that the chemicals were unlikely to build up enough t...
