Sleep vs. cuddling: Study looks at what happens after sex

Posted: 21 Jan 2012 09:01 AM PST

According to a recent study by evolutionary psychologists, the tendency to fall asleep first after sex is associated with greater partner desire for bonding and affection.

Facial symmetry may play a role in 'gaydar'

Posted: 21 Jan 2012 09:01 AM PST

Researchers examined how perceptions of a person's sexual orientation are influenced by facial symmetry and proportions. Self-identified heterosexuals had facial features that were slightly more symmetrical than homosexuals. And the more likely raters perceived someone as heterosexual, the more symmetrical that person's features were.

Many strategies to increase physical activity for kids lack injury prevention measures

Posted: 20 Jan 2012 03:45 PM PST

A new study documents a need for increased injury prevention efforts in many of the most popular activities for kids (walking, bicycling, swimming, sports and playground use) in the United States.

Health benefits of exercise may depend on cellular degradation

Posted: 20 Jan 2012 03:45 PM PST

The health benefits of exercise on blood sugar metabolism may come from the body's ability to devour itself.

Autism redefined: New diagnostic criteria more restrictive

Posted: 20 Jan 2012 03:45 PM PST

Getting an autism diagnosis could be more difficult in 2013 when a revised diagnostic definition goes into effect. The proposed changes may affect the proportion of individuals who qualify for a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder, according to preliminary data.

Elusive Z- DNA found on nucleosomes

Posted: 20 Jan 2012 03:30 PM PST

New research shows that left-handed Z-DNA, normally only found at sites where DNA is being copied, can also form on nucleosomes. The structure of DNA which provides the blueprint for life has famously been described as a double helix. To save space inside the nucleus, DNA is tightly wound around proteins to form nucleosomes which are then further wound and compacted into chromatin, which is further compacted into chromosomes. But this familiar image of a right handed coil (also called B-DNA) is not the only form of DNA. At sites where DNA is being copied into RNA (the messenger which is used as the instruction to make proteins) the DNA needs to unwind, and, in a process of negative supercoiling, can form a left-handed variety of the DNA double helix (Z-DNA).

Dual-earner families: Mum and Dad share the workload, Norwegian study suggests

Posted: 20 Jan 2012 03:29 PM PST

For the first time research is being carried out on the degree to which dual-earner families in Norway share paid and unpaid work. It is a key aim of Norwegian policy to promote an equal distribution of paid and unpaid work among dual-earner couples with children. The researchers conclude that roughly 40 per cent of the couples have a gender-equal relationship in that the mother and the father share both unpaid and paid work equally.

Why do smells make some people sick?

Posted: 20 Jan 2012 03:29 PM PST

Do you get a headache from the perfume of the lady next to you at the table? Do cleaning solutions at work make your nose itch? If you have symptoms prompted by everyday smells, it does not necessarily mean you are allergic but rather that you suffer from chemical intolerance. This hypersensitivity can be the result of an inability to get used to smells.

Chemical in personal care products (phthalates) may contribute to child obesity

Posted: 20 Jan 2012 03:27 PM PST

Researchers have found an association between exposure to the chemical group known as phthalates and obesity in young children – including increased body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference.

Italian shipwreck threatens to create second disaster at sea

Posted: 20 Jan 2012 03:27 PM PST

An expert on the protection of threatened marine ecosystems has commented on the potential for ecological disaster posed by the 2,300 tons of fuel oil still aboard the capsized cruise ship Costa Concordia.

No More Swabbing: Spit Sampling Gets a Whole Lot Easier

Posted: 20 Jan 2012 03:27 PM PST

A new tool will improve the ease of oral fluid collection.

Catching a comet death on camera

Posted: 19 Jan 2012 10:06 PM PST

On July 6, 2011, a comet was caught doing something never seen before: die a scorching death as it flew too close to the sun. That the comet met its fate this way was no surprise -- but the chance to watch it first-hand amazed even the most seasoned comet watchers.

Gene critical to sense of smell in fruit fly identified

Posted: 19 Jan 2012 10:04 PM PST

Researchers have discovered that a gene called distal-less is critical to the fly's ability to receive, process and respond to smells.

Are religious people better adjusted psychologically?

Posted: 19 Jan 2012 10:04 PM PST

Psychological research has found that religious people feel great about themselves, with a tendency toward higher social self-esteem and better psychological adjustment than non-believers. But a new study finds that this is only true in countries that put a high value on religion.

Biodiversity crisis is worse than climate change, experts say

Posted: 19 Jan 2012 10:03 PM PST

Biodiversity is declining rapidly throughout the world. The challenges of conserving the world's species are perhaps even larger than mitigating the negative effects of global climate change, experts say.

Researchers engineer a switch to tame aggressive cancers

Posted: 19 Jan 2012 10:03 PM PST

A new imaging platform provides insight into the exact moment when cancer cells turn deadly. The new approach can modulate and monitor how the effects of a particular protein can affect the entire tumor in real-time.

Novel iron source: Newly identified iron absorption mechanism suggests that legumes could provide key to treating iron deficiency worldwide

Posted: 19 Jan 2012 09:35 PM PST

A groundbreaking study reveals the existence of at least two independent mechanisms for iron absorption from non-meat sources -- and a potential treatment for iron deficiency, the most common nutrient deficiency worldwide. The discovery of an alternative mechanism for iron absorption from vegetables and legumes may provide the key to helping solve iron deficiency by providing an alternative, affordable, and readily available source of iron.

Low temperatures enhance ozone degradation above the Arctic

Posted: 19 Jan 2012 10:37 AM PST

Extraordinarily cold temperatures in the winter of 2010/2011 caused the most massive destruction of the ozone layer above the Arctic so far: The mechanisms leading to the first ozone hole above the North Pole have now been investigated.

Speed limit for birds: Researchers find critical speed above which birds- and drones- are sure to crash

Posted: 19 Jan 2012 10:37 AM PST

Researchers find critical speed above which birds -- and drones -- are sure to crash.

'Senior' runners never stop pushing their limits in marathons

Posted: 19 Jan 2012 07:20 AM PST

Researchers have analyzed changes in participation and performance of runners aged 20 to 80 in the New York marathon over the last 30 years. The results are largely unexpected: the best male marathon runners over 65 and the best female marathon runners over 45 have consistently improved their performance over the last 30 years.

Cheat Sheet - Newt's 11th Hour Upset?

2012-01-21T09:40:00.001-06:00

The CheatSheet

Today: Search Resumes in Shipwreck , GOP: Santorum Won Iowa , Report: Monitors to Stay in Syria

	January 21, 2012

SOUTH CAROLINA

1. Newt's 11th Hour Upset?

In a nail-biter primary that could redefine the race, voting has begun in South Carolina, a state whose winner has gone on to receive the GOP nomination in every election year since 1980. Patricia Murphy reports that Newt Gingrich has surged out of nowhere—and threatens to upend Mitt Romney's frontrunner status, as a new poll shows the former speaker of the House with 32 percent support from voters, a 6-point lead over Romney.

HOPE

2. Search Resumes in Shipwreck

The Italian Navy once again blasted holes Saturday in the side of the wrecked Costa Concordia, the cruise ship that crashed off the rocks of the Italian island of Giglio one week ago. “We will continue searching until all hope is gone,” said Coast Guard spokesman Cosimo Nicastro, although he admitted that “we need a miracle.” As many as 24 people are still missing, and some have held out hope that a person could survive for days in the luxury cruise liner’s cabins. A forecast for high waves in the Mediterranean has caused many to worry that the submerged 114,500-ton ship could sink or be swept out, but port officials said the search would continue while the water remained calm during the day. Experts say the ship is slipping off the rocky sea shelf at a rate of around a quarter of an inch every hour.

OFFICIAL

3. GOP: Santorum Won Iowa

Iowa Republicans announced just before midnight Saturday—the day of the South Carolina primary—that Rick Santorum was, in fact, the winner of the Iowa caucus. Mitt Romney had originally been declared the winner of the caucus by a narrow eight-vote margin, but on January 18, eight voting precincts realized their results had not been reported. With the new votes counted, Santorum led by 34 votes, causing the Iowa Republicans to first call it a statistical tie before eventually dealing the blow to Romney. While the squeaker victory for Romney had never a landslide, it doesn’t help him as he trails in South Carolina. Meanwhile, Iowans fear that the confused results could be devastating to the future of their first-in-the-nation vote. “The caucuses have a lot of critics, and for this to happen truly jeopardizes the future of the event,” said Iowa observer David Yepsen.

BLOODSHED

4. Report: Monitors to Stay in Syria

The Arab League looked to keep monitors in Syria, a diplomatic source said Saturday, despite the reported deaths of hundreds during the monthlong observer mission. Sudanese Gen. Mohammed al-Dabi, head of the 165-member monitoring team, is due in Cairo Saturday to submit a report on Syria’s response to the 10-month uprising. Thousands are estimated to have been killed. The diplomatic source admitted the Arab League does not have “complete satisfaction” with Syria’s cooperation in the mission, but the “in absence of any international plan to deal with Syria, the best option is for the monitors to stay.” The U.S. announced Friday that it would be closing its Damascus embassy by the end of the month, the same day that French President Nicolas Sarkozy denounced Syrian president Bashar al-Assad’s regime of “ferocious repression.”

EURO CRISIS

5. Greek Debt Talks Drag On

The Greek debt negotiations continued into the weekend without a deal, despite the eagerness of Athens to reach an agreement by Monday, when eurozone leaders will meet for finance talks. International Monetary Fund finance chief Charles Dallara said Friday that “now is the time to act” in an effort to move along the stalled talks. Greek leaders, the European Union and the IMF have sparred in finding a satisfactory debt-swap deal. If an agreement is reached by Monday’s meeting, Greece will be able to set in motion the paperwork and approvals necessary to get an infusion of cash into their struggling economy to avoid bankruptcy in March.

"Fracking Would Emit Large Quantities of Greenhouse Gases"

Posted: 20 Jan 2012 01:26 PM PST

Another reason to be suspicious of fracking:

Fracking Would Emit Large Quantities of Greenhouse Gases, by Mark Fischetti, Scientific American: Add methane emissions to the growing list of environmental risks posed by fracking.

Opposition to the hydraulic fracturing of deep shales to release natural gas rose sharply last year over worries that the large volumes of chemical-laden water used in the operations could contaminate drinking water. Then, in early January, earthquakes in Ohio were blamed on the disposal of that water in deep underground structures. Yesterday, two Cornell University professors said at a press conference that fracking releases large amounts of natural gas, which consists mostly of methane, directly into the atmosphere—much more than previously thought. ...

Molecule for molecule, methane traps 20 to 25 times more heat in the atmosphere than does carbon dioxide. The effect dissipates faster, however: airborne methane remains in the atmosphere for about 12 years before being scrubbed out by ongoing chemical reactions, whereas CO2 lasts 30 to 95 years. Nevertheless, recent data from the two Cornell scientists and others indicate that within the next 20 years, methane will contribute 44 percent of the greenhouse gas load produced by the U.S. Of that portion, 17 percent will come from all natural gas operations. ...
