POPSArtificial Meteorite Shows Martian Impactors Could Carry Traces Of Life Unfortunately the heat of reentry was so high, even with a protective two centimetre-thick rock coating, that the organisms were carbonised. They died but their cells still remain as "pompeified" forms. if martian sedimentary meteorites carry traces of past life, these traces could be safely transported to Earth. However, the results are more problematic when applied to Panspermia, a theory that proposes living cells could be transported between planets. STONE-6 showed at least two centimetres of rock is not sufficient to protect the organisms during entry."

POPSDinosaurs Lucky. Pay Attention, Humans! Interesting stuff. It's not clear on what evidence they base the judgment that luck was involved. But the same thing could be said for mammals, when the evolutionary door swung wide open for us, after the dinosaurs got bumped off.

POPSAnorgasmia - 30 to 50% of women have frequent difficulty reaching orgasm
There are two kinds of anorgasmia: primary anorgasmia, in which orgasm has never been attained, and secondary anorgasmia, where the patient has orgasmed in the past but either can't at all anymore or can only reach her climax in specific cases, such as through masturbation. Chances are that if you or your partner suffers from either form of anorgasmia, there are several treatments to consider. The root to treating the dysfunction is to find out what's causing it. It's advisable to see your doctor so that they can rule out any form of illness that may be at fault, in the case of both primary and secondary anorgasmia. Once anything medical has been ruled out, it's on to other forms of diagnosis and treatment. Similarly, if a bad past experience is to blame, such as sexual abuse, then counselling may be something to consider. Only 30% of women regularly orgasm through intercourse. Many women need stimulation to the genitals, particularly the clitoris, through manual or oral means.

POPSScientists Develop New Computational Method To Investigate Origin Of Life "Retroelements are an ancient and highly diverse class of proteins; therefore, they provide a rigorous benchmark for us to test our approach. We are happy with the results we derived, even though our method is in an early stage," said Patterson. The team plans to make the algorithms that they used in their method available to others as open-source software that is freely available on the Web. Scientists map out the evolutionary histories of organisms by comparing their genetic and/or protein sequences. Those organisms that are closely related and share a recent common ancestor have greater degrees of similarity among their sequences.

POPSRepublicans Play the Sexism Card "It's that damn liberal press" was the first excuse that the McCain campaign gave for the discoveries that the press and bloggers easily made after the campaign was caught failing to vet Sarah Palin. Now the new excuse targets the Obama campaign. Criticism of Palin makes one sexist. Specific criticisms don't have to be answered. They can all be dismissed by playing the sexism card. The translation: make all the criticisms go away because we can't answer them.

POPSGOP Plays the Gender Card Before you say this is just Laura Bush speaking for Laura Bush, consider this: I am appalled by the Obama campaign's attempts to belittle Governor Sarah Palin's experience. The facts are that Sarah Palin has made more executive decisions as a Mayor and Governor than Barack Obama has made in his life. Because of Hillary Clinton's historic run for the Presidency and the treatment she received, American women are more highly tuned than ever to recognize and decry sexism in all its forms. They will not tolerate sexist treatment of Governor Palin. - HP's former CEO Carly Fiorina and RNC fundraiser, quoted in RNC press release The McCain camp, who wanted everyone to freak out when Obama supposedly "played the race card," are now claiming that any criticism of Sarah Palin is sexist. The Republican Party; never one to shy away from blatant hypocrisy.

POPSHistory of Western Civilization lost in Iraq "It was there, in what the Greeks called Mesopotamia, that life as we know it today began: there people first began to speculate on philosophy and religion, developed concepts of international trade, made ideas of beauty into tangible forms, and, above all developed the skill of writing." And US invaders stood by and watched as irreplaceable world history was hauled off by unarmed looters.

POPSNew British Army Division?
Does this mean that the WWI tactics employed by HM Army are now sanctioned as viable? Observers tell of the lack of training through the lack of monies spent on live firing and field crafts. The deafeningly silent commentaries at some of the real documentaries presently filling TV around the country, says more for former soldiers wish not to put harm in the way of serving personnel, than it does for the politicians who send brave British youngsters to their deaths. There are commentators who eulogise over young people who, in three short years, gain a wealth of experience of service life fighting in foreign lands. France and America turn out sergeants within this period, and in some extreme case so do the British Army. On News bulletins currently facing the public, one look tell you the Soviet/Russian Bear has learned one factor for Britain. The majority of the soldiers occupying Georgia are trained and experienced veterans. It is the experience of 22 year sergeants that binds t

POPSNew 'arsenic-breathing' bacteria found While arsenic may be toxic because of the way it substitutes phosphorous in the process of burning energy, I don't recall boiling water being too healthy either. When life on earth was just kicking off, there was little free oxygen, and plenty of boiling water. Arsenic based photosynthesis is likely to have been working long before the green/chlorophyll based photosynthesis evolved.

POPSTHE ORIGIN OF BIOLOGICAL INFORMATION Yet Muller and Newman insist that population genetics, and thus evolutionary biology, has not identified a specifically causal explanation for the origin of true morphological novelty during the history of life. Central to their concern is what they see as the inadequacy of the variation of genetic traits as a source of new form and structure. They note, following Darwin himself, that the sources of new form and structure must precede the action of natural selection (2003:3)–that selection must act on what already exists. Yet, in their view, the “genocentricity” and “incrementalism” of the neo-Darwinian mechanism has meant that an adequate source of new form and structure has yet to be identified by theoretical biologists. Instead, Muller and Newman see the need to identify epigenetic sources of morphological innovation during the evolution of life. In the meantime, however, they insist neo-Darwinism lacks any “theory of the generative”
