Why Brits are Still Dead Set on Holidays in 2012 and 2013
2012-03-01
After much doom and gloom in the media surrounding the travel industry recently, most notably the near-collapse of one of Britain's biggest tour operators, alongside the economic issues in much of Europe, we'd be forgiven for choosing to abscond from holidays abroad this year. However, Ocean Florida notes that it has seen a significant rise in departures to Orlando for the often-quieter winter months November, December and January, as off-peak prices are too good to ignore. The weather in Florida is more temperate and the parks are less crowded and this has resulted in ...

2012-03-01
The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced it is revising safety information on the labels of some statins (cholesterol lowering drugs).
Statins are a class of drugs that work in the liver to prevent the formation of cholesterol. They are most effective at lowering the LDL (bad) cholesterol, but also have modest effects on lowering triglycerides (blood fats) and raising HDL (good) cholesterol. High cholesterol is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and stroke.
The FDA changes to the statin labels include:

Sperm counts!
2012-03-01
It had long been assumed that the human sperm cell's mission in life ended once it had transferred its freight of parental DNA to the egg. More recently however, other components of sperm have been implicated in fertilization, and perhaps even in subsequent embryonic development.
In a new study appearing in the Proceedings of the Royal Society, Timothy Karr, a researcher at Arizona State University's Biodesign Institute, along with colleagues from the Universities of Cambridge and Bath, England, examine messenger RNA (mRNA) transcripts present in the sperm of both fruitflies ...
New model provides different take on planetary accretion
2012-03-01
The prevailing model for planetary accretion, also called fractal assembly, and dating back as far as the 18th century, assumes that the Solar System's planets grew as small grains colliding chaotically, coalescing into bigger ones, colliding yet more until they formed planetesimals. The planetesimals then collided until they formed planets as varied as the Earth and Jupiter.
The model assumes that this occurred in an extremely hot (as high as 1,600 degrees Celsius) environment for the inner Solar System, fostered by a dusty, two-dimensional disk post-dating the Sun.
The ...
