POPSFolding(Proteins)@home-Distributed Computing 
Stanford University is doing valuable protein research spreading the load to thousands of personal computers using unallocated CPU time.It has a low 'status' so all other programs are given priority. I had heard about it but didn't know it was so easy to join. You can be anonymous, have a username, or also be part of a team. where the work done is tallied. I found out about it at the Ubuntu site, so I joined team Ubuntu, but thought there could always be a team clipmarks. I'll leave that with egoldstein, I just joined and have no idea about teams and team numbers. Theres 1 'client' per CPU so dual cores can have 2 (2 teams?) There is a link in the program to show how many proteins have been done. Programs for linux,apple and mac. I don't know about after rebooting. Ubuntu has a script that restarts every reboot Windows may have to run exe again. mac? I can't be sure the username search works from the clip, but if you're interested the top link to Stanford will make a lot more sense

POPSVultures in Europe 'attacking humans for the first time' For centuries, the Pyrenean farmers of Spain lived in symbiotic harmony with Gyps fulvus, the magnificent griffon vulture. Wheeling over their flocks and fields, the birds were seen as neither a threat nor even a nuisance, but as a vital part of the ecosystem. For when farmers had to dispose of an animal carcass, they simply took it to one of the hundreds of "maladares", carcass dumps, scattered across the mountains. There, the vultures would gather to do their work. It was a system that benefited both man and bird. But, prompted largely by the BSE crisis in the late Nineties, the eurocrats of Brussels decided to ban this age-old system. This has caused a crisis for the vultures, which are flying to new areas in search of food. So far, they have got as far as northern mainland Europe - indeed, as far as Finland. It is unlikely they will come here, says Grahame Madge, as they hate flying over large bodies of water.

POPSBeef eaters beware -- safety may be sent packing by Courtney Haden Creekstone sued the USDA in 2006, and in the case of David v. Goliath, the little guy unaccountably won. A decision handed down by a U.S. district judge in March decreed that Creekstone must be permitted to start its own testing June 1. However, thanks to its Hail Mersey call last week, the USDA can appeal the ruling and prevent Creekstone from testing indefinitely.

POPSAmyloid protein seen to zip together
explained Eisenberg. 'We managed to grow sections of these proteins into crystals.' Eisenberg's team was specifically interested in a small fragment of the long protein complex that forms the fibril - the folded, twisted, insoluble sheet that develops in the brains of people with amyloid-associated diseases. Their previous work purifying and assembling these protein complexes meant they could create a model of how the sections of this fragment link together and interact. The team grew 13 microcrystals that matched the atomic structure of the fibrils of different amyloids, and discovered that each one shared a common site, which they termed a steric zipper. At this site the proteins interlink to form a dry interface. The proteins are held in their folded formation by steric forces. These forces of attraction are caused by the close proximity and complementary shape of the interlinking molecules. 'The sidechains protruding from the sheets on each side of the fold look like the
