Sex smell lures 'vampire' to doom

US researchers deployed a laboratory version of a male sea lamprey pheromone to trick ovulating females into swimming upstream into traps.

The sea lamprey, sometimes dubbed the "vampire fish", has parasitised native species of the Great Lakes since its accidental introduction in the 1800s.

Hologram news update

Our World May be a Giant Hologram, an article by Marcus Chown in the January 15 2009 issue of The New Scientist, discusses recent discoveries that may well confirm the idea of a holographic universe.

For many months, the GEO600 team-members had been scratching their heads over inexplicable noise that is plaguing their giant detector. Then, out of the blue, a researcher approached them with an explanation. In fact, he had even predicted the noise before he knew they were detecting it. According to Craig Hogan, a physicist at the Fermilab particle physics lab in Batavia, Illinois, GEO600 has stumbled upon the fundamental limit of space-time - the point where space-time stops behaving like the smooth continuum Einstein described and instead dissolves into “grains”, just as a newspaper photograph dissolves into dots as you zoom in. “It looks like GEO600 is being buffeted by the microscopic quantum convulsions of space-time,” says Hogan.

If nothing else, they may have discovered what the pixel-size of the cosmos is.

Personality Test

In another email from my granddaughter I received one of those 'Personality tests'. Since it came from her, I took it - and it was uncanny how accurate it was.

Should you want to find out your personality you can take the test here.

Gifts from my granddaughter

Sometimes it is good to have nine year old granddaughter because you get things like is in your inbox:

Friend: calls your parents by mr.... and mrs.

Best friend: calls your parents dad and mom.

Friend: has never seen you cry

Best Friend: has always had the best shoulder to cry on

Friend: never asks for anything to eat or drink

Best friend: opens the fridge and makes herself at home

Friend: asks you to write down your number.

Best friend : they ask you for their number ( cuz they can't remember it)

Friend: borrows your stuff for a few days then gives it back

Best friend: has a closet full of your stuff

Friend: only knows a few things about you

Best friend: could write a biography on your life

Friend: will leave you behind if that is what the crowd is doing

Best friend: will always go with you

Chatter

In today's installment of our long running segment "Chatter" we find that as predicted by almost everyone in the world who predicts such things ... that the wing-nuts are retreating to 'their' forums and leaving the open forums where the conversations have turned to cooperation and progressing forward.

As I have read through several forums I read on a steady basis I have noticed this as well, with one exception of a supposedly 'open' forum that has consistently proved itself to be a wing-nut forum with the same hatred and venom that are to be found on the avowed wing-nut forums staining its threads. This has increased in the last two days since President Obama took control from the usurper.

Unfortunately, we will have to endure the wing-nuts blathering on about me, me, me, mine, mine, mine, that they have for the last 100 years and the hate and bile they spew for everyone not of their dogma.

Fortunately, we will not have to endure the wing-nuts blathering on about me, me, me, mine, mine, mine, that they have for the last 100 years and the hate and bile they spew for everyone not of their dogma.

Huh, you say?

How can both statements be true?

Good question.

They both can be true because the wing-nuts have been pushed back into their fetid swamps and under the rocks which beneath they slithered from, and therefore well will not have to endure their mewlings unless we are brain-dead or slip on a bar of soap when tuning the radio dial and it lands on one of those obscure stations that still will be trying to air their hatred.

For the rest of the world we will be looking forward, moving forward, not forgetting the past nor dewelling in it either.

Obama adminstration brings back the Freedom of Information Act and transparency in government

The Electronic Frontier Foundation's Marcia Hofmann has a report card on transparent government measures undertaken by the Obama administration on its first day in office. The news is pretty damned good: they've reversed Ashcroft's restrictions on Freedom of Information Act requests as well as changes to the Presidential Records Act, and have adopted general principles on transparency and open government.
According to Obama's memo: "All agencies should adopt a presumption in favor of disclosure, in order to renew their commitment to the principles embodied in FOIA, and to usher in a new era of open Government. The presumption of disclosure should be applied to all decisions involving FOIA."

This statement is almost certainly meant to address a controversial memo issued by John Ashcroft in the wake of 9/11, which ordered agencies to disclose information only after considering all possible reasons to withhold it, and assured them that government lawyers would defend their decisions in court unless they had no "sound legal basis." Many open government advocates believe Ashcroft's policy effectively gutted the FOIA over the past several years. Today's memo doesn't explicitly reverse that policy, but directs the incoming attorney general to issue new FOIA guidelines to agencies "reaffirming the commitment to accountability and transparency." This is a big step in the right direction.

The memo doesn't stop there. It goes on to say: "The presumption of disclosure also means that agencies should take affirmative steps to make information public. They should not wait for specific requests from the public. All agencies should use modern technology to inform citizens about what is known and down by their Government. Disclosure should be timely."



We have our country back and out of the hands of despots!
