Teeth on Demand blinded by science
Link #143204 submitted by pdxpogo on Jan 6, 2009 06:44am.   (+100XP)
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/01/04/AR2...
Coming soon to a dentist near you... bottom line keep your wisdom teeth they will be a source of stem cells used to grow new teeth.  
 
As long as there are hockey players, there will be niche markets for false teeth. But the real news about the future of dentures is that there isn't much of one. Toothlessness has declined 60 percent in the United States since 1960. Baby boomers will be the first generation in human history typically to go to their graves with most of their teeth.  
 
And now comes tooth regeneration: growing teeth in adults, on demand, to replace missing ones. Soon.

Amazon recently published a list of its 100 best-selling albums of 2008, and guess which one is on top? It's the Nine Inch Nails album Ghosts I-IV, which band front man Trent Reznor personally uploaded to the Pirate Bay and the private music tracker What.cd earlier last year. Reznor also offered a free download of the album from the band's website and licensed it under a Creative Commons license.

LG Electronics and Netflix announced today that LG would be the first manufacturer to release HDTV models that can stream Netflix content directly from the Internet without the aid of an external piece of hardware.

In a Sign of Animal Ingenuity, the Marine Mammals -- and One Cross-Dresser -- Are Seen Making Hunting Implements  
 
In the deep, lucid channels of Australia's Shark Bay, wild bottlenose dolphins have discovered tools, raising provocative questions about the origins of intelligent behavior, the nature of learning and the birth of technology.  
 
There, dolphins in one extended family routinely use sponges to protect their noses as they forage for fish hidden in the abrasive seafloor sand, Georgetown University scientists reported earlier this month.

Marco Polo's India history
Link #143199 submitted by Dyskolos on Jan 5, 2009 02:55pm.   (+130XP)
http://www.3quarksdaily.com/3quarksdaily/2009/01/marco-polos-india....
Returning home from China in 1292 CE, Marco Polo arrives on the Coromandel Coast of India in a typical merchant ship with over sixty cabins and up to 300 crewmen. He enters the kingdom of the Tamil Pandyas near modern day Tanjore, where, according to custom, "the king and his barons and everyone else all sit on the earth." He asks the king why they "do not seat themselves more honorably." The king replies, "To sit on the earth is honorable enough, because we were made from the earth and to the earth we must return." Marco Polo documented this episode in his famous book, The Travels, along with a rich social portrait of India that still resonates with us today...

Food vs. Fuel blinded by science

Saltwater Crops May Be Key to Solving Earth's Land Crunch  
 
Saltwater-loving plants could open up half a million square miles of previously unusable territory for energy crops, helping settle the heated food-versus-fuel debate, which nearly derailed biofuel progress last year.  
 
By increasing the world's irrigated acreage by 50 percent, saltwater crops could provide a no-guilt source of biomass for alt fuel makers and tone down the rhetoric of U.N. officials worried about food prices, one of whom called the conversion of arable land to biofuel crops "a crime against humanity."  
 
While growing crops in saltwater has been on the fringes of horticulture for decades, the new demand for alternative energy has pushed the idea onto the pages of the nation's most prestigious scientific journal and drawn the attention of NASA scientists.  
 
Citing the work of Robert Glenn, a plant biologist at the University of Arizona, two biologists argue in this week's Science that "the increasing demand for agricultural products and the spread of salinity now make this concept worth serious consideration and investment."

The remark scribbled at the end of the production sheet said simply, “End of era.”  
 
It was written shortly after the last piano roll came off the assembly line at QRS Music Technologies, 1026 Niagara St., at noon Wednesday.  
 
The halt in production comes 108 years after the company was founded in Chicago, and 42 years since it moved to Buffalo. Rolls used in player pianos reached their peak in popularity in the early 20th century, when a roll of paper was able to reproduce music through perforations signifying notes played on the piano.
