A team of University of Minnesota scientists has discovered how iron- and chromium-rich rocks can generate natural gas (methane) and related hydrocarbons when reacted with superheated fluids circulating deep beneath the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. One Drug Tackles Two Diseases, Case Researcher Finds: Prevent Bone Los
Drugs that reverse and prevent bone loss due to osteoporosis also significantly ward off periodontal disease, according to a graduate of the Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine who reports in the current Menopause journal article, "Periodontal Assessments of Postmenopausal Women Receiving Risedronate." Album Cover Apocalypse
From AC/DC to Zeppelin (Led), famous album covers face off in a battle to the death. In Table of Malcontents.  Bacteria In Staph Infections Can Cause Necrotizing Pneumonia

Electronic Connectivity Isn't All That Great, Warns Computer Guru At N
"Although sophisticated electronics gadgets are making the world appear smaller, distance should not die,"said computer guru Darl Kolb earlier this week at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). Impact Of Arctic Heat Wave Stuns Climate Change Researchers
Unprecedented warm temperatures in the High Arctic this past summer were so extreme that researchers with a climate change project have begun revising their forecasts. From their camp on Melville Island last July, where they recorded air temperatures over 20ºC (in an area with July temperatures that average 5ºC), the team watched in amazement as water from melting permafrost a meter below ground lubricated the topsoil, causing it to slide down slopes, clearing everything in its path and thrusting up ridges at the valley bottom "that piled up like a rug,"according to one of the scientists. Stanford Study Reveals Protein's Jekyll-and-Hyde Role In Cancer Growth
