An immature egg's internal nutrient supply is critical to its survival, an insight that offers a new route to understanding and treating infertility due to egg death, according to Duke University Medical Center researchers. Chemical Present In Clear Plastics Can Impair Learning And Cause Disea
Low doses of the environmental contaminant bisphenol--A (BPA), widely used to make many plastics found in food storage containers, including feeding bottles for infants, can impair brain function, leading to learning disabilities and age--related neurodegenerative diseases, according to Yale researchers and colleagues. Positioning Pelvic Cancer Patients On Stomachs For Radiation Yields Be
Positioning pelvic cancer patients on their stomachs rather than their backs is a better method for delivering radiation therapy, according to new research. Because patients return for multiple therapies, being able to reproduce the positioning of the patient allowed more precision, which reduces toxicity. Calculations Favor Reducing Atmopshere For Early Earth
Using primitive meteorites called chondrites as their models, earth and planetary scientists at Washington University in St. Louis have performed outgassing calculations and shown that the early Earth's atmosphere was a reducing one, chock full of methane, ammonia, hydrogen and water vapor. The finding reinvigorates one of the most famous and controversial theories on the origins of life, the 1953 Miller-Urey experiment, which yielded organic compounds necessary to evolve organisms. [Ironic] LONDON: A jailed cocaine dealer is working as Santa Claus on

The Oldest Homo Sapiens: Fossils Push Human Emergence Back To 195,000
When the bones of two early humans were found in 1967 near Kibish, Ethiopia, they were thought to be 130,000 years old. A few years ago, researchers found 154,000- to 160,000-year-old human bones at Herto, Ethiopia. Now, a new study of the 1967 fossil site indicates the earliest known members of our species, Homo sapiens, roamed Africa about 195,000 years ago. Software Crafts Alternate Routes For Troubled Commuters, Predicts Best
Websites for commuters are nothing new, but researchers in Sunnyvale, Calif., have developed an advanced system with a twist: in addition to tracking traffic congestion, the program crunches data from 14,000 sensors, in some cases every 30 seconds, to decipher evolving rush-hour patterns.
