Tide Out On Titan? A Soft Solid Surface For Huygens
The Surface Science Package (SSP) revealed that Huygens could have hit and cracked an ice 'pebble' on landing, and then it slumped into a sandy surface possibly dampened by liquid methane. Had the tide on Titan just gone out? Extreme and unexpected motion of Huygens at high altitudes was recorded by the SSP's two-axis tilt sensor tilt sensor, suggesting strong turbulence whose meteorological origin remains unknown. Protein May Play A Role In Severe Asthma
A protein measured in a simple blood test may be a new biomarker to identify patients with the most serious form of asthma. Identifying this new biomarker, YKL-40, brings investigators one step closer to a treatment for the nation's 2.5 million asthmatics with a severe form of the disease that is difficult to treat, the researchers say. Regular Physical Activity May Strenghten Knee Cartilage
In the November 2005 issue of Arthritis &Rheumatism, a new study presents evidence to support the therapeutic value of exercise for OA patients, for improving not only joint symptoms and function, but also the quality of knee cartilage. [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... Population Trends, Practices And Beliefs Could Have Adverse Effect On
A review of research on the prevalence of HIV in the Middle East and North Africa has found that whilst cultural and religious practices may be behind a low prevalence of HIV in the region, they could potentially contribute to increasing the spread of HIV. [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." Hubble Zooms In On Heart Of Mystery Comet -- Comet Holmes

A gene that appears to help regulate normal embryonic development is found at high levels in virtually all forms of breast cancer, according to a new study led by Laszlo Radvanyi, Ph.D., an associate professor of breast and melanoma medical oncology at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. Working Toward New Energy With Electrochemistry
In an effort to develop alternative energy sources such as fuel cells and solar fuel from "artificial"photosynthesis, scientists are taking a detailed look at electrons. Understanding and controlling the movement of electrons through individual molecules could allow for new and improved energy technologies. Making Molehills Out Of Mountains: Microscopic Geochemical Processes P
A little-known valley in northern Sweden holds evidence that warming temperatures may lead to significant changes in nutrient availability for plants and increasing amounts of greenhouse gases, a University of Arkansas researcher and his colleagues say.
