Death of iPod Hard Drives Is Greatly Exaggerated
On Tuesday, the industry intelligence company iSuppli predicted the death of spinning disc drives in iPods. Many observers took this news as validation that mini disc drives are going the way of the dodo. But tosh, says the hard drive industry -- the mini hard drive is alive and well.

First Non-invasive Test To Measure Skin Aging; Results Suggest Women's
Physicists and medical researchers for the first time have demonstrated a new technique that non-invasively measures in real time the level of damage to the skin from sun exposure and aging, and initial results suggest that women's skin ages faster than men's. Findings appear in the October 1 issue of Optics Letters, a journal of the Optical Society of America.

Fleshing Out The Genome
Genomics, the study of all the genetic sequences in living organisms, has leaned heavily on the blueprint metaphor. A large part of the blueprint, unfortunately, has been unintelligible, with no good way to distinguish a bathroom from a boardroom, to link genomic features to cell function.

New Insight Into Potential Cause Of Sexual Dysfunction In Women
Researchers at Yale School of Medicine and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine have found that female sexual dysfunction (FSD) affects 48.2 percent of women in a new study and that these women had decreased sensation in the clitoris, which increased the risk of sexual dysfunction.

Alligators breathe like birds, study finds
Scientists discovered that air flows in one direction as it loops through the lungs of alligators, just as it does in birds. The study suggests this breathing method may have helped the dinosaurs' ancestors dominate Earth after the planet's worst mass extinction 251 million years ago.

Parents Seeking Sex Abandon One In Three Offspring Among Certain Bird
The eggs of a certain bird species (penduline tit Remiz pendulinus) are frequently abandoned as both parents go in search of new sexual conquests. Around one in three clutches of eggs are abandoned in this way, making it a puzzling example of childrearing where both parents improve their reproductive success by abandoning the nest.

No Single Gene For Aging
According to professor Thomas Kirkwood of the University of Newcastle, there is no single gene for aging. Throughout time, humans have used energy to get food, produce offspring and survive danger -- not to repair and maintain cells. So the maintenance system in the body slowly breaks down.

Survey Reveals Need For Standardized Oral Chemotherapy Prescribing Pra
Despite the widespread use of prescribing safeguards for infusion chemotherapy, few of those measures have been implemented with oral chemotherapy, according to a study led by researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

[Scary] Pregnant woman says 'maternal instinct' helped her kill attack
FORT MITCHELL, Ky. - A pregnant woman who killed her attacker said a maternal instinct helped her fight off the woman who investigators believe was after her unborn child."I do believe that I fought harder because it was for my child,"Sarah Brady told ABC's "Good Morning America"in interviews aired Sunday and Monday. "It is a maternal instinct to protect your child to the very end."Katherine Smith, 22, died Thursday after luring Brady to her apartment to pick up a package supposedly delivered to the wrong address. When Smith pulled out a knife and attacked the pregnant woman, Brady fought back, striking Smith on the head with an ash tray and stabbing her three times with her own knife, police said. Brady, 26, said she didn't know Smith before the two met at Smith's apartment and can't be certain why Smith wanted to kill her."I really am not sure what was going through her mind,"Brady told ABC. "The only thing I thought was that she was going to kill me and my child and that is the only thing that ran through my mind."
