Using Field Identification to Hire Santa Claus (Or Other Customer Serv
This article provides an explanation of the use of the field identification (FI) recruiting strategy and its applications for hiring Santa Claus and other talent for retail settings. Discusses methods for identifying customer service talent beyond the classified ad approach. From a human resources specialist. Male-killing Bacteria Makes Female Butterflies More Promiscuous
A study at UCL (University College London) finds that a high-prevalence of male-killing bacteria active in many species of insect including the butterfly, actually increases female promiscuity and male fatigue. [Ironic] LONDON: A jailed cocaine dealer is working as Santa Claus on
John Tams, who dons beard, boots and red suit to work in a cafe's Christmas grotto, said he wanted to give something back to the community... Dwarf Star Gulps Giant To Form Supernova
A team of European and American astronomers has announced the discovery of the best evidence yet for the nature of the star systems that explode as type Ia supernovae. The team obtained a unique set of observations with the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope and the Keck I 10-meter telescope in Hawaii. The researchers were able to detect the signature of the material that surrounded the star before it exploded. The evidence strongly supports the scenario in which the explosion occurred in a double-star system where a white dwarf is fed by a red giant. Large-scale Projects in Berlin: Memorial to the Murdered Jews in Europ

TechniqueProvides New Look On Response Of Diseased Canine Heart
Using newly available biological technology, researchers have developed the first molecular portrait of multiple gene activity in diseased heart tissue taken from dogs near death from a devastating disease. The discovery sheds new light on the heart's response to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), a disease of large-breed dogs. Potassium Limitation, Ammonium Toxicity And Amino Acid Excretion In Ye
An amino acid excretion mechanism is identified in yeast. This stress response helps purge excess nitrogen when ammonium ion toxicity is encountered, presumed to leak through potassium channels, in potassium-limiting conditions. The Lost Lunar Landing Tapes
NASA puts a man on the moon -- then loses the videotape. A grizzled crew of ex-rocket jockeys goes on a star-crossed mission to find it. By David Kushner from Wired magazine. Dartmouth Medical School Researchers Identify Enzymatic Activity Of Ne
Opening a window to understand the molecular basis of a hereditary ataxia, Dartmouth Medical School researchers have identified an enzyme activity that is inactivated in all reported mutant forms of a disease protein. The discovery may lead to therapies to treat the neurological disease.
