CHICAGO, Illinois – August 11, 2011 - You no longer have to look like a Star Trek Borg to wear skin-mounted electronics. A team of scientists and engineers at the University of Illinois has developed a “smart skin” that can be used to connect wearers to the cyber-world as easily as sticking on a temporary tattoo.

TOKYO, Japan - August 5, 2011 - Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant radiation recordings of external gamma radiation have been so high this week they went off scale, said veteran nuclear expert Arnie Gunderson on Thursday after the famous physicist, Dr. Chris Busby, told the Japanese people that radioactive air contamination there is now 300 times that of Chernobyl and 1000 times the atomic bomb peak in 1963, implying that hundreds of millions of people are now dying from Fukushima radiation, including people in the United States.

WASHINGTON - August 2, 2011 - If you’re in a position to be tasered, you’ve typically got one not very impressive advantage: the police officer or rent-a-cop trying to send 20,000 volts through your body has to be pretty close to you. But your advantage is about to disappear in a hail of electric shock cartridges.

PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania - August 11, 2011 - Young people are putting Drano, pieces of aluminum foil and a little water in soda bottles and then capping the bottles. They leave the bottles on lawns or and in mailboxes. When you pick up the bottle, if its contents are shaken even just a little, then in about 30 seconds or less it explodes with enough force to remove some of your extremities. The liquid that comes out is boiling hot, too.

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina - August 3, 2011 - Storms are brewing about 93 million miles away, and if one of them reaches Earth, it could knock out communications, scramble GPS, and leave thousands without power for weeks or even months.

The tempest is what's known as a solar storm, a flurry of charged particles that erupts from the sun. Under the right conditions, solar storms can create extra electrical currents in Earth's magnetosphere - the region around the planet controlled by our magnetic field.

LONDON, England - July 25, 2011 - Scientists have created more than 150 human-animal hybrid embryos in British laboratories.

The hybrids have been produced secretively over the past three years by researchers looking into possible cures for a wide range of diseases.

The revelation comes just a day after a committee of scientists warned of a nightmare “Planet of the Apes” scenario in which work on human-animal creations goes too far.

March 16, 2008 - Was there a nuclear fare occurred in ancient India? There were remains found in ancient India that is modern Pakistan, where many of the archeological excavation revealed some bizarre findings. You probably know something of Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro. The remains of these ancient cities are in modern day Pakistan.

These were the key centers of the Indus Valley civilization. These also appear to have suddenly sprung up with no clear-cut traces of having evolved from primitive beginnings.
