Displaced Gopher Tortoises Might Survive On Islands, Say Researchers
The gopher tortoise, a burrowing reptile unique to the U.S. Southeast, is gradually disappearing because the dry, sandy upland where it commonly dwells is ideal for development. But University of Florida researchers say the tortoise's ability to survive in coastal areas may be one key to future preservation efforts. [Ironic] LONDON: A jailed cocaine dealer is working as Santa Claus on

A new study analyzing the economic implications of the Clinical Antipsychotic Trials of Intervention Effectiveness (CATIE) concludes that the older (first generation) antipsychotic medication perphenazine was less expensive and no less effective than the newer (second generation) medications used in the trial during initial treatment, suggesting that older antipsychotics still have a role in treating schizophrenia. The Topsy-turvy Galaxy
ESO's VLT has taken an image of the starburst galaxy NGC 1313, whose captivating appearance belies its inner turmoil. The dense clustering of bright stars and gas in its arms, a sign of an ongoing boom of star births, shows a mere glimpse of the rough times it has seen. Probing ever deeper into the heart of the galaxy, astronomers have revealed many enigmas that continue to defy our understanding. University Of Pittsburgh Gets Wired For Speed With Apple Xserve G5 Clu
Every week on CBS's hit series Numb3rs, an FBI agent relies on his math genius brother to find patterns that help to solve crimes. With its new Apple Xserve G5 computing cluster, the University of Pittsburgh's Graduate School of Public Health (GSPH) is solving double-helix puzzles in human genetics every day. Using Pitt's 125-node Xserve cluster, more than 30 investigators and scientific teams tackling more than 120 projects have computing power available like never before. Diabetics Most At Risk From Neglected Post Meal Sugar Peak
Christmas time is full of food when most of us simply have to worry about our expanding waist lines but new research says that people with diabetes need to pay attention to the dangers of a neglected post meal peak in blood glucose. Indeed the research shows that this post meal peak can do even more damage than a more sustained rise in blood sugar. Until recently, the main focus of therapy for people with diabetes has been on lowering blood sugar or glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, with a strong emphasis on fasting plasma glucose.

Why Do Some Queen Bees Eat Their Worker Bee's Eggs?
Worker bees, wasps and ants are often considered neuter. But in many species they are females with ovaries, who although unable to mate, can lay unfertilized eggs which turn into males if reared. For some species, such as bumble bees, this is the source of many of the males in the species. But in others, like the honeybee, workers "police"each other -- killing eggs laid by workers or confronting egg-laying workers.
