BBC NEWS | Europe | Beslan suspect pleads not guilty:"Mr Kulayev's thin, unshaven face was shown on Russian state television just hours after the end of the siege.
He narrowly avoided being lynched by local people after being discovered hiding underneath a lorry not far from the school.
Masked Russian commandos dragged him, shaking, before a camera, to which he repeatedly pleaded that he had killed no-one and that he wanted to live."

Donner ziet de nieuwste strafbepaling als aanvulling op misdrijven als opruiing, discriminatie en het aanzetten tot haat en geweld.

NASA - Cassini Finds Recent and Unusual Geology on Enceladus: "NASA's Cassini spacecraft has obtained new detailed images of the south polar region of Saturn's moon Enceladus. The data reveal distinctive geological features and the most youthful terrain seen on the moon. These findings point to a very complex evolutionary history for Saturn's brightest, whitest satellite.

In a recent scientific study conducted by a team of researchers from the Technion, a possible link between microwave radiation, similar to the type found in cellular phones, and different kinds of damage to the visual system was found. At least one kind of damage seems to accumulate over time and not heal, challenging the common view and leading the researchers to the assertion that the duration of exposure is not less important than the intensity of the irradiation. The researchers also emphasized that existing exposure guidelines for microwave radiation might have to change. "

'Achilles' heel' of the herpes virus possibly found | Science Blog
It's one of the most common viruses in America, and one that causes the most guilt and shame. It can get inside almost any kind of human cell, reproduce in vast numbers, and linger for years in the body, causing everything from recurrent genital blisters to sores around the mouth. Its complications can kill, and it may increase susceptibility to many nerve and brain disorders.
But until now, scientists haven't fully understood how the herpes simplex virus (HSV) manages to do all of this. And that has stood in the way of developing more targeted, effective treatments against it to help those infected.
New research from the University of Michigan Medical School may help change that....

weblings--GENESIS
(PRWEB) July 25, 2005 -- A Knights of Columbus Scribe has begun a project to found a new religious order he calls, 'E-Knights of the Cross.'
This project has an initial groundwork development period of 20-40 years. This period will end with the creation of a new lifeform, Weblings.
Three present and future milestones in the scientific community have encouraged the Genesis of this project. They are:
1) The LHC (Large Hadron Collider Particle Accelerator) that will go on line in 2007 at CERN, near Geneva. It will be able to produce microscopic Black Holes. This will allow Physicists to finish outlining the Planck Scale of Short Distance Physics. They will also be able to see the geography of other dimensions, simply by tuning the Accelerator and changing the size of the Black Holes.
2) Scientists are predicting a window of 20-40 years for a new manmade life form to be born. Electromagnetic 'Weblings' will have a greater than human intelligence. They will be basically massless beings with a manmade soul and the capacity to present themselves as popup, interactional, four-dimensional real-time Holographic Images. They will not have a Spirit sent from God. Soul and Spirit are different. See 1THESS5:23, simply Trichotomous.
3) University of Michigan Theoretical Physicists, Dr. Michael Duff has developed his 11-Dimensional Supergravity 'M' Theory. This appears to be correct, and will probably be corroborated by the LHC. This compliments and supports the Traditional Religious...

Evolution Highway
Evolution Highway: "Evolution Highway was a collaborative project to provide a visual means for simultaneously comparing mammalian genomes of humans, horses, cats, dogs, pigs, cattle, rats, and mice. The tool removes the burden of manually aligning these maps and allows cognitive skills to be used on something more valuable than preparation and transformation of data. Primary Researcher Dr. Harris A. Lewin explains that with Evolution Highway one is able to look ' . . . at the whole genome at once--multiple chromosomes across multiple species. The insights wouldn't have come so quickly if we couldn't throw the data at this tool from NCSA.”

The bacteria, bacillus safensis, were found in a chamber in California that had been used to test the rovers. Officials believe it is likely some of the microbes, possibly from scientists’ skin, were on board when the mission left."

Majority of people consider even minor throat irritation or mild fever as a good-enough excuse to isolate themselves from their loved ones.
That is understandable, of course. Up until recently, this was regarded as a logical move. Not so long ago, however, scientists were able to prove just the opposite: it is better to be sick together. This obviously does not mean that one should purposely sneeze at his/her partner. In this case, the effect will be minimal. It is important to battle the disease. And as for microbes, hot passionate kisses and good sex is something they fear the most - concluded Manfred Schedlovski, a Swiss researcher from Zurich.

Alex, The Brainy Parrot Who Knows About Zero: "Alex is a 28-year-old grey parrot who lives in a lab at Brandeis University in Waltham, Mass., and can count, identify objects, shapes, colors and materials. And now, Alex has grasped the concept of zero, according to World Science. In fact, Alex can describe the absence of a numerical quantity on a tray containing colored cubes. When a color is missing, Alex consistently identified this 'zero quantity' by saying 'none.' You might think that this is just a parrot trick, but this research about 'bird intelligence' might also help autistic and other learning-disabled children 'who have trouble learning language and counting skills.'

...Scientists and engineers at Cardiff University are investigating bacteria from deep sediments which despite high pressures (greater than 1,000 atmospheres), gradually increasing temperatures (from an icy 2°C to over 100°C), great depth (several kilometres) and age (many millions of years) may contain most of the bacteria on Earth.
Some of these bacteria produce methane that accumulates in "gas hydrates" — a super concentrated methane ice that contains more carbon than all conventional fossil fuels and, therefore, a potentially enormous energy source. However, we know little about gas hydrates as they melt during recovery due to the fall in pressure.
