Humanities Culture Evolving Through Natural Selection
A study soon to be published in the online Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on February 19, has presented the possibility that human culture suffers from the same natural selection that our own species has endured over time. A revolutionary study, it will either cause strife or further understanding in the world of […]
Budget 09: How’d the Environment Do – the Good, the Bad and the Ugly
I’ve just finished a three part series over at Planetsave.com focusing on how the environment did in the latest budget request in the US. George W. Bush finally tipped America over the $3 trillion mark, putting them in to a hefty $407 billion deficit. But even with that, the environment got seriously screwed! Check out […]

how I work through research/a study/an article
I’m not sure if anyone wants to know this, but I thought I would share an image of just how it is I work through a particularly difficult or scientific source. I use a Firefox plugin called Highlighter, which allows me to set 6 different colors, and highlight certain sections of text as I would […]
Kitty Cat Traced to Middle East
A new genetic study published in this month’s Genomics journal shows that our favorite furry felines, from purebreds, mutts and feral, all can date their domestication back to those living in the Middle East. Tracked via genetic markers, through many twists and turns, they all hale from the same location.
The study is one of the […]
Males Now Unnecessary; Women Create Their Own Sperm
British scientists at the Newcastle University have announced that they are ready to turn female bone marrow in to sperm. This type of research has been a high priority, using cells that theoretically can turn in to any other type of cell. Naturally however, a chorus of concerns and arguments has been raised almost immediately.

Titans Together! Again!
The Teen Titans are all good and well, but they aren’t what they used to be; we can all agree on that, for better or worse. But if you’re in the “better” camp, then you’ll be pleased to know that Judd Winick has been given the reins of “Titans.”
They have been the spine of the […]

Yesterday Cathie gave us the rundown on the Justice League movie finally being put on hold. Today, I’m going to take it a step further.
We knew it was coming, and it hasn’t come as a surprise, but many of us breathed a sigh of relief when the Justice League movie received its official “on hold” […]
Plate Tectonics May Take the odd Millennia off!
Plate tectonics, geology, etc, is one of my passions. Being a journalist, my only real chance to indulge in it though is when it comes up in a story, such as this one. Needless to say, the story before you now is one that could very well send you off on several different tangents, but […]
A Journalistic Tough Skin = Necessary
You know, each day I realize just how glad I am to have my happy pills (ie, medication for depression and anxiety). As I continue to grow in my journalistic abilities and continue to be read by more and more people, I find that I’m getting more and more mail - and very little […]

“The Future is nigh” cried the Futurist
The future will always be – to me – a mystery wrapped up inside an enigma. However, for some, the future is something to be unwrapped at all costs, leaving behind logic and childhood excitement in the process. Raymond Kurzweil is one of these men who believe that the future is something both predictable and […]
