Make a miniature thunderstorm in a test tube with a few common chemicals. Sparks and pops occur completely randomly, just like in a real thunderstorm! A very interesting and simple demonstration.

President Bush is not the ONLY one to blame for high gas Prices!!!

Scientists have found a way to convert wood fiber from trees into fuel for your car. As this ScienCentral News report explains, the surprisingly simple process might put biofuels in your car's tank without using the world's food supply.

Stockpiling food. It's not just for religions, survivalists and cults. Not anymore. It's for investors.

We discuss the Democratic nomination race, rising gas prices and the economy.

Coral reefs are dying a death of a thousand cuts and their disappearance threatens not only the incredibly diverse ecosystem that depends on them, but also human health and welfare. In this episode of MicrobeWorld Video marine scientists Ove Hoegh-Guldberg, Ph.D., chair of marine studies at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia,, and Kiho Kim, Ph.D., director of the environmental studies program at American University, explain the important relationship between microbes and corals, and how this delicate symbiosis that sustains life on and around reefs is facing numerous threats from human interactions to global climate change. In addition, Tundi Agardy, Ph.D., founder and executive director of Sound Seas, discusses the need for public policy and community-based conservation efforts that may help stave off the degradation of these vital ocean ecosystems. According to a 2004 report issued by the World Wildlife Fund, 24% of the world s reefs are under imminent risk of collapse through human pressures; and a further 26% are under a longer term threat of collapse. If nothing is done to protect these resources, many scientists estimate that reefs around the West Indies in the Caribbean will be gone by 2020, while the Great Barrier Reef may only last for another three decades.

US Senator Charles 'Chuck' Grassley (Iowa) is one of the biggest boosters for government subsidies to encourage farmers to grow corn for use as fuel for cars and trucks. Food-for-fuel policies are among the causes of the recent price rises in food prices that is causing hunger and misery among the world's poorest people. This video shows the two sides of Chuck Grassley. First, speaking at a Baptist meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, he says that "turning a blind eye and a deaf ear to world hunger exposes the selfish side of human nature." Grassley then reveals his own selfish side by vigorously defending the crops-for-fuel subsidies during a telephone news conference with agriculture reporters. Defying all economic logic, Grassley denies any link between the diversion of millions of acres of farm land for growing fuel and the rising price of corn and other staple commodities.Grassley is a senior member of the Senate Agriculture Committee that is currently writing the US farm bill and the Senate Finance Committee that grants tax breaks to ethanol producers and maintains a high import tariff against ethanol from outside the US.As well as being a Senator, he is also a corn farmer from Iowa, the biggest producer of corn-based-ethanol in the US. So that may explain it. Good old pork barrel politics.

Friendly Botnet by Andrew McCaskey It looks like that Juvenile Delinquent Bittorrent has some community service time lined up. The University of Washington Phalanx system recruits a number of friendly computer systems to act as front ends for a computer that is subject to Distributed Denial of Service attacks. The simulation showed 7500 such friendly installations could defend against a million machine botnet targeting a friendly installation for DDOS attack. Although the initial idea was to organize these defender processes on machines owned by someone like Akamai or Limelight Networks, researchers suggested that a better way would be to include the code as a process in bittorrent clients. Doing a little good for the community while being used in other ways. That is going to give throttling or shaping ISP s like Comcast something to think about. It might just be to their advantage to let some of that bittorrent traffic thorough. It might be on a legitimate mission. =================== 31 Day project ?

Rod Adams and Andrew Feinberg of the blog Capitol Valley discuss motives behind anti-nuclear activism. (MP3 - 26.8 MB - 01:17:52 M) Listen to Atomic Show #089 Here! A couple of weeks ago, Andrew Feinberg of Capitol Valley interviewed one of the new heros of the pro-nuclear world, Dr. Patrick Moore. You can hear the interview and read Andrew s thoughts at Everything Old is New Again: From No Nukes to Nukes Now with Dr. Patrick Moore. Here is a sample quote from that blog entry: Here at CV we spend most of our time looking at new technologies, the future, and how a rush to judgment or a poor public relations decision can doom a promising technology, service, or company to failure. We see how sensationalism, poor reporting and massive click to complain campaigns can generate outrage where there should be none, and amplify the shrill cries of a few to the point where they dominate the public discourse. Now, instead of looking forward, we look back to the 1960 s, when the relatively new technology of nuclear power brought a promise of unlimited, clean energy. Those days also were the height of the cold war, when the fear of atomic weapons clouded the nation s judgment of atomic power. I made a comment on that blog entry that resulted in Andrew thinking that I might be a crackpot , so I decided to invite him onto the Atomic Show so that he could see for himself that I really am kind of kooky. We had a great chat that I think you will enjoy. It is fun to share thoughts about history with someone just about half your age. Our personal experience lenses are quite different; the mixed points of view result in a good conversation.

From your local bus route to international air travel, infectious diseases can spread across the globe in a matter of hours. In this video podcast episode filmed at the Koshland Science Museum in Washington, D.C., Stephen Eubank from the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute of Virginia Tech and Daniel Lucey from Georgetown University discuss the role of transportation in the spread of disease and examine the effectiveness of various measures to curb transmission. Stephen Eubank, Ph.D., is a project director at the Network Dynamics and Simulation Science Laboratory at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute of Virginia Tech. His research focuses on modeling and simulating the spread of disease and regional transportation, and the analysis of complex systems. Daniel Lucey, M.D., M.P.H., is an adjunct professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at Georgetown University, where he is co-director of the master of science program in biohazardous threat agents and emerging infectious diseases. In recent years, his teaching focus has been on SARS, avian flu, and the threat of pandemic human influenza.
