Clay tablet identified as asteroidthat destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah

A clay tablet that has baffled scientists for 150 years has been identified as a witness’s account of the asteroid suspected of being behind the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Researchers who cracked the cuneiform symbols on the Planisphere tablet believe that it recorded an asteroid thought to have been more than half a mile across. The tablet, found by Henry Layard in the remains of the library in the royal place at Nineveh in the mid-19th century, is thought to be a 700BC copy of notes made by a Sumerian astronomer watching the night sky.

Red Tide Killer Identified: Bacteria Gang Up On Algae, Quashing Red Tide Blooms

Researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego have identified a potential "red tide killer." Red tides and related phenomena in which microscopic algae accumulate rapidly in dense concentrations have been on the rise in recent years, causing hundreds of millions of dollars in worldwide losses to fisheries and beach tourism activities. Despite their wide-ranging impacts, such phenomena, more broadly referred to as "harmful algal blooms," remain unpredictable in not only where they appear, but how long they persist.

Rodeo Beach cliff victim identified as 20-year-old aspiring artist

(04-15) 14:13 PDT MARIN HEADLANDS -- The hiker who died Monday after falling over a cliff above Rodeo Beach in the Marin Headlands was identified today as 20-year-old Phoebe Washer, an aspiring artist who grew up in Petaluma.

Gene Involved In Blood Stem Cell Replication, Movement, Identified

Researchers at the Joslin Diabetes Center have identified a gene that is responsible for the division and movement of marrow-derived, blood-forming stem cells, a finding that could have major implications for the future of bone marrow and blood cell transplantation.

Protein That Helps Predict Prostate Cancer Survival Identified

An Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute researcher has identified a protein that is a strong indicator of survival for men with advanced prostate cancer. The C-reactive protein, also known as CRP, is a special type of protein produced by the liver that is elevated in the presence of inflammation.

10 questions shaping 21st-century earth science identified

WASHINGTON -- Ten questions driving the geological and planetary sciences were identified today in a new report by the National Research Council. Aimed at reflecting the major scientific issues facing earth science at the start of the 21st century, the questions represent where the field stands, how it arrived at this point, and where it may be headed.

Protein regulating drug response to Kala-azar identified

Mumbai (PTI): Scientists from the National Institute of Immunology (NII) have identified a crucial protein that has an important role in regulating the infectivity, survival and drug response of the parasite that causes visceral leishmaniasis or the dreaded `Kala-azar'.

Huge Virulence Gene Superfamily Responsible For Devastating Plant Diseases Identified

A research team from the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute at Virginia Tech has identified an enormous superfamily of pathogen genes involved in the infection of plants. The Avh superfamily comprises genes found in the plant pathogens Phytophthora ramorum and Phytophthora sojae.

First Sex Chromosome Gene Involved In Meiosis And Male Infertility Identified

A team of scientists led by University of Pennsylvania veterinary researchers have identified a gene, TEX11, located on the X chromosome, which when disrupted in mice renders the males sterile and reduces female fecundity. This is the first study of the genetic causes of infertility that links a particular sex chromosome meiosis-specific gene to sterility.

Role Of Tiny RNAs In Controlling Stem Cell Fate Identified

Researchers at the Gladstone Institute of Cardiovascular Disease (GICD) and the University of California, San Francisco have identified for the first time how tiny genetic factors called microRNAs may influence the differentiation of pluripotent embryonic stem (ES) cells into cardiac muscle. As reported in the journal Cell Stem Cell, scientists in the lab of GICD Director, Deepak Srivastava, MD, demonstrated that two microRNAs, miR-1 and miR-133, which have been associated with muscle development, not only encourage heart muscle formation, but also actively suppress genes that could turn the ES cells into undesired cells like neurons or bone.

Top Five Computer Security Risks for Healthcare as Identified by Absolute Software

(March 20, 2008)-- Absolute Software Corporation, provider of firmware-based, patented, Computer Theft Recovery, Data Protection and Secure Asset Tracking solutions announced that it has identified the five computer security risks healthcare facilities most often face in preventing identity theft caused by data breaches. Identity theft as a result of stolen or misplaced computers that contain sensitive information is an escalating problem. According to privacyrights.org, there were at least 46 US data breaches involving 62 stolen or lost computers at healthcare facilities in 2007, resulting in almost five million compromised identities.

Why Are So Many Fighting For Food?

Food prices are rising around the world. In an interview with ABC News, Gregory Barrow, senior public affairs officer at the World Food Program (WFP), said that "the WFP has identified a number of countries that have been badly affected, and we have identified a type of country that's most likely to suffer from rising food prices."

Internet Black Holes

An anonymous reader writes "Hubble is a system that operates continuously to find persistent Internet black holes as they occur. Hubble has operated continuously since September 17, 2007. During that time, it identified 881,090 black holes and reachability problems. In the most recent quarter-hourly round, completed at 04:40 PDT, 04/09/2008, Hubble issued 46,846 traceroutes to 1,815 prefixes it identified as likely to be experiencing problems (of 78,772 total prefixes monitored by the system). Of these, it found 195 prefixes to be unreachable from all its vantage points and 139 to be reachable from some vantage points and not others." No relationship to that other Hubble which also tries to find black holes ;)
