As Good As Chocolate And Better Than Ice-cream: Study Asks Aussie Tots
A University of Western Sydney researcher has carried out Australia's first study of mums and bubs who breastfeed beyond infancy - looking at why these women are bucking the trend against premature weaning, and asking the toddlers themselves how they feel about breastfeeding. [Funny] A referee has sent himself off in an English amateur league ma
Andy Wain had to abandon the Sunday league match between Peterborough North End and a Royal Mail side in the 63rd minute after throwing down his whistle and marching up to confront North End's keeper. Age, Burden, Divorce And Heavy Tea Consumption Are Significant Risk Fa
A cross-sectional survey found that old age, being male, having a moderate working burden, being divorced/widowed and heavy tea consumption remained significant independent risk factors for erosive esophagitis. Meanwhile, routine consumption of greasy food and constipation were considered significant independent risk factors for non-erosive reflux disease. Research Paper Illuminates How Light Pushes Atoms
A new effect in the fundamental way that laser light interacts with atoms has been discovered by physicist Kurt Gibble at Penn State. His theoretical study reveals that, unlike water, which speeds up as it passes through a small nozzle, photons of light have less momentum at the center of a focused laser beam. Human Embryonic Stem Cells Display A Unique Pattern Of Chemical Modifi
Scientists have found that the DNA of human embryonic stem cells is chemically modified in a characteristic, predictable pattern. This pattern distinguishes human embryonic stem cells from normal adult cells and cell lines, including cancer cells. The study, which appears online today in Genome Research, should help researchers understand how epigenetic factors contribute to self-renewal and developmental pluripotence, unique characteristics of human embryonic stem cells that may one day allow them to be used for therapeutic cloning. After North Korea Test, What Can Be Done To Reduce The Growing Nuclear
In the wake of the announcement of a nuclear test by North Korea, new questions have been raised about proliferation and the threat of nuclear terrorism. Is nuclear terrorism preventable? What steps has the United States already taken to avoid a nuclear catastrophe and what steps should be taken in the future?Scholars, scientists, and policymakers, including Graham Allison, Sam Nunn and William Perry, address these crucial questions in the Annals September issue. Satellite Images Reveal State Of Health Of World's Coral Reefs
A first-of-its-kind survey of how well the world's coral reefs are being protected was made possible by a unique collection of NASA views from space. A team of international researchers using NASA satellite images compiled an updated inventory of all "marine protected areas"containing coral reefs and compared it with the most detailed and comprehensive satellite inventory of coral reefs. Blood and Sawdust

A research team has discovered a new route for the transport of proteins in plant cells, a discovery that will enable the biotechnological design of plant factories. Newly Discovered Birdlike Dinosaur Is Oldest Raptor Ever Found In Sout
A 90-million-year-old dinosaur recently discovered in Patagonia demonstrates that dromaeosaurs, carnivorous theropods that include Velociraptor, originated much earlier than previously thought. They originated during the Jurassic, up to 180 million years ago, rather than the Cretaceous. Buitreraptor gonzalezorum's birdlike features -- its huge, hollow wishbone; winglike forelimbs; and bird-like pelvis -- provide further link dinosaurs to birds. This finding implies that flight may have evolved twice: once in birds and once among this group of Gondwanan dromaeosaurs.
