Bugs for Dinner
27-Aug-2010
We farm fish and we certainly farm fruits and vegetables.
Insects are full of protein and while Americans don't eat
them, many other cultures do, so why not farm them? In the
future,
we may do just that (unless they get
too
powerful--in which case we'll probably
shoot
them down and eat the roadkill).

A Premonition
26-Aug-2010
On this week's

someone who has long been in contact with

Will Electric Cars REALLY Save Energy?
26-Aug-2010
It depends on where the electricity they use is made -
There is a feeling going around that after all the
UFO sightings
that have occurred,
the
next step is disclosure. Most of us assume that the next step
after hybrid cars is electric vehicles. But before you
plug in
that car, you need to find out how your electricity is being
MADE.

Our Biggest Trash Can
24-Aug-2010
Our oceans are in trouble. What
happened in the past can affect the future. More
than 200 million gallons of oil is estimated to have spilled into
the Gulf after the April 20 blowout at BP's Deepwater Horizon,
an incident which also killed 11 people. While the surface of
the Gulf now looks clean and most of the beaches have been
cleared of oil as well, there's still a lot of oil
out there--
The explosion left an oil slick on the ocean floor. Will this be a
problem
in the
future?

New Planets Discovered
20-Aug-2010
Some may harbor intelligent life -
It has now been found that there must be many small, rocky
planets in our galaxy, and probably spread across the

intelligent life elsewhere could be very substantial, and a
radio survey of such plants could become possible, that might
lead to the discovery of signals from civilizations using

Computers R Us
17-Aug-2010
The next generation of computers will try to duplicate the
way the human brain works, meaning that they may be able
to SEE and HEAR in the future. They may even be able to feel
emotions. Meanwhile, our brains are becoming more like
computers: It has been discovered that integrative body-
mind training (IBMT), which was adapted from traditional
Chinese medicine in the 1990s in China (where it is practiced
by thousands of people) can change the part of the brain
called the anterior cingulate, which regulates emotions and
behavior. IBMT is not yet available in the US.

Solar Cycle Restarting
17-Aug-2010
The solar cycle usually works like this: Every 11 years there
is a period of intense solar activity. But the sun has been
unusually
quiet for years now. However, scientists have obtained
evidence that a new cycle of solar activity is starting. The
onset of a new wave of such activity had been expected
to be well underway by 2009, but the Sun remained
surprisingly quiet. Now, in 2010 there are finally signs of the
cycle re-appearing. Researcher Steve Smith says, "It's
exciting to see the return of aurora to mid-latitudes,"
referring to the periodic occurrence of emissions in the
Earth's atmosphere that have intrigued observers from
ancient to modern times.

If the Military is So Concerned about Climate Change
02-Aug-2010
Maybe they should all just GO HOME -
That climate variability in one region can have an effect on
more distant areas is known in the climate research literature,
the challenge being to locate these far-connections and
understand their projections. The Sahel region of Africa
suffered drought over more than 20 years, from the 1970s to
the mid-1990s, which caused deep environmental and social
crises, such as hunger, civilian desertion, ethnic conflicts,
and more. In 2007 the UN published a report stating that the
situation in Darfur was intensified by the ongoing drought in
the Sahel region and its surroundings.
