Deep sea animals stowaway on submarines and reach new territory - (Wiley-Blackwell) Marine scientists studying life around deep-sea vents have discovered that some hardy species can survive the extreme change in pressure that occurs when a research submersible rises to the surface. The team's findings, published in Conservation Biology, reveal how a species can be inadvertently carried by submersibles to new areas, with potentially damaging effects on marine ecosystems.... Autopsy of a eruption: Linking crystal growth to volcano seismicity - (University of Bristol) A forensic approach that links changes deep below a volcano to signals at the surface is described by scientists from the University of Bristol in a paper published today in Science. The research could ultimately help to predict future volcanic eruptions with greater accuracy.... Science magazine prize awarded to course that brings biology and math worlds closer - (American Association for the Advancement of Science) An undergraduate course that allows students to build mathematical models of biological phenomena -- and to experience a convergence of disciplines with potential in areas ranging from cancer treatment to reforestation -- is the winner of the Science Prize for Inquiry-Based Instruction,... DNA evidence shows that marine reserves help to sustain fisheries - (Cell Press) Researchers reporting online on May 24 in the Cell Press journal Current Biology present the first evidence that areas closed to all fishing are helping to sustain valuable Australian fisheries. The international team of scientists applied a forensic DNA profiling approach to track the dispersal pathways of fish larvae throughout a network of marine reserves on Australia's Great Barrier Reef.... Researchers develop new genetic method to pinpoint individuals' geographic origin - (University of California - Los Angeles) In a new study, published online this week in Nature Genetics, a research team including researchers at UCLA Engineering, UCLA's Department of Ecology and Evolution and Tel Aviv University have developed an innovative approach for the modeling of genetic variation in two- or three-dimensional space called spatial ancestry analysis (SPA). With SPA, researchers model the spatial distribution of each genetic ... From green rust in Indonesia to historical sulfide concentrations in the Black Sea - (Geological Society of America) The Geological Society of America has posted a new batch of Geology papers online ahead of print (May 23, 2012). Locations studied include the Rainy Lake zone, Ontario, Canada; the Black Sea; Lake Matano, Indonesia; the Great Bahama Bank; Lake Eyre, Australia; the Burullus Lagoon of the Nile Delta, Egypt; and Tungurahua volcano, Ecuador. Studies involve work both in the field and in the lab.... El Niño weather and climate change threaten survival of baby leatherback sea turtles - (Drexel University) When critically endangered leatherback turtle hatchlings dig out of their nests, they enter a world filled with threats to survival. Now, Drexel University researchers have found that the climate conditions at the nesting beach affect the early survival of turtle eggs and hatchlings. They predict, based on projections from multiple models, that egg and hatchling survival will drop by half in the next 100 years as a result of g... New satellite movie chases post-Tropical Storm Alberto in Atlantic - (NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center) On May 23, 2012, the remnants of post-tropical storm Alberto were chasing a frontal system over the Atlantic Ocean, several hundred miles east of the US East coast. A new NASA animation of imagery from NOAA's GOES-15 satellite shows the progression of Alberto's remnants.... NASA sees Tropical Storm Sanvu continue to intensify - (NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center) Two NASA satellites have provided infrared and rainfall data that has shown Tropical Storm Sanvu continues to intensify as it heads toward Iwo To, Japan. NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission satellite has scanned rainfall rates, and NASA's Aqua satellite has provided a look at cloud temperatures which indicates where the strongest thunderstorms and heaviest rainfall is occurring.... NASA's TRMM satellite sees heavy rainfall in Tropical Storm Bud - (NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center) Tropical Storm Bud is dropping heavy rainfall, and appears to be intensifying. NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission satellite has been monitoring rainfall within the storm, and has watched it become heavier over the last day -- a sign the storm is intensifying....

Forensics ferret out fire beetle secret - (University of Bonn) Black fire beetles of the genus Melanophila possess unusual infrared sensors. Researchers from the University of Bonn and from the Forschungszentrum Jülich have concluded that the beetles' sensors might even be more sensitive that uncooled infrared sensors designed by humans. Having this natural model opens up new perspectives, such as for early warning systems for forest fires. The results have been published in PLoS ONE.... Center for North Sea oil expertise set to boost jobs and growth - (University of Edinburgh) The launch of a new center of North Sea expertise today could boost jobs and growth in Scotland, accelerate development of carbon capture and storage and unlock three billion barrels of hard-to-reach oil from the North Sea - worth £190 billion....

Geological record shows air up there came from below - (Princeton University) The influence of the ground beneath us on the air around us could be greater than scientists had previously thought, according to new Princeton University research that links the long-ago proliferation of oxygen in Earth's atmosphere to a sudden change in the inner workings of our planet.... Scientists discover a new sensory organ in the chin of baleen whales - (Smithsonian) Lunge feeding in rorqual whales (a group that includes blue, humpback and fin whales) is unique among mammals, but details of how it works have remained elusive. Now, scientists from the Smithsonian and University of British Columbia have solved the mystery. They discovered a sensory organ in the chin of rorqual whales that communicates to the brain. The organ orchestrates the dramatic adjustments needed in jaw position and throat-p... Taking solar technology up a notch - (Northwestern University) The limitations of conventional and current solar cells include high production cost, low operating efficiency and durability, and many cells rely on toxic and scarce materials. Northwestern University researchers have developed a solar cell that, in principle, will minimize these limitations. In particular, the new solid-state solar cell is the first to solve the problem of the promising but leaky Grätzel cell. The devi... Alberto now a tropical depression, seen by NASA - (NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center) Infrared satellite imagery from NASA's Aqua satellite revealed Alberto weakened from a tropical storm to a tropical depression as it appears more disorganized.

Frank Mir - "I am as good on the ground as dos Santos is on his feet." - You may not realize that former UFC Heavyweight Champion Frank Mir has been blogging about his upcoming fight against current champion Junior dos Santos on Yahoo. Whether you knew that or not, unless you're living in an MMA shell, you were certainly aware of the fact that Mir wants their upcoming ... Rafael Feijao Defeats Mike Kyle by Guillotine Choke - Mike Kyle hits like a truck. He's a dangerous fighter. Along with that, the first time he threw down with Rafael Feijao Cavalcante, he won by way of TKO. Fast forward to the present day. Would Feijao come through this time, or would Kyle once again take him out?
Get ready, get set, go!
Early on, Feijao came inside and dropped Kyle with a knee. From there, Kyle got up, where Feijao jumped up and slapped on the guillotine choke. Rather than ... Donald Cerrone Defeats Jeremy Stephens by Unanimous Decision - Jeremy Stephens vs. Donald Cerrone at the UFC on Fuel 3. Anyone else smell a knockout? Here's how it all went down.
Early on, Stephens landed a low kick, then an uppercut as Cerrone came inside. Another low kick from Stephens landed. Then Cerrone hit home with a low kick of his own. A quick right hand from Stephens found its mark; Cerrone followed it up with a hard low kick.
"The Cowboy" is starting out slowly.

Lawlor landed a decent right handed jab early on in round one. MacDonald attempted a takedown that Lawlor shirked. And then, a moment later, Lawlor connected with a hard left to the jaw, followed by a right that dropped MacDonald. One punch later on the ground and it was all over.
Tom Lawlor defeats Jason... Lyoto Machida vs. Ryan Bader at the UFC on FOX 4 - Karate vs. Wrestling in the Modern Era - Back on November 12, 1993, the purest display of martial arts style vs. martial arts style took place. That's right- we're talking about UFC 1. At the time, competitors pretty much knew their own discipline and no other. Boxing, karate, and, of course, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu were on display. As we all know now, those early UFC's proved the worth of grappling arts like Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and wrestling. Meanwhile, they left many with a bad taste... Mas Oyama and the Difference With Modern Traditional Martial Arts Practitioners - I once read a book entitled Me, Chi, and Bruce Lee by Brian Preston. It was an entertaining martial arts read about a self-proclaimed "spineless wuss" (Preston) who embarks on a quest to achieve a black belt within one year. Along the way, he travels the world meeting up with martial artists, instructors, and fighters like Sifu Bob, Royce Gracie, Jeff Monson, Jarek Szymanski and more on his path towards martial arts enlightenment.
In the book, P... Frank Mir to Fight Junior dos Santos for the UFC Heavyweight Belt - Yes, Alistair Overeem will still plead his case to NSAC regarding his testosterone-to-epitestosterone ratio of 14:1 on Tuesday. But that won't keep him on the UFC 146 fight card, nor will it promise him another shot at current UFC Heavyweight Champion Junior dos Santos. Overeem has now been pulled from the UFC 146 main event in favor of former champion Frank Mir.... Matt Brown Defeats Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson by Unanimous Decision at UFC 145 - Coming into his UFC 145 bout against Matt Brown, everyone simply knew Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson as that new karate fighter in the UFC. Of course, with karate still somewhat stigmatized as less than useful in the sport of mixed martial arts, there was some pressure on Thompson to do well. Wondering how it all went down?
You've come to the right place.
Early in round one, Thompson landed a sid... Eddie Alvarez vs. Shinya Aoki Bellator 66 Results - Former Bellator champion Eddie Alvarez has only lost twice since July of 2007. One of those losses came to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu superstar Shinya Aoki at K-1 - Dynamite!! Power of Courage 2008. Simply put, the two entered the ring, and only 92 seconds later they left with Aoki taking home victory by way of heel hook. Enter 2012 and Bellator 66. Alvarez, coming off of a loss to Michael Chandler, really needed a victory badly to reaffirm his top ligh...

... Malcolm Bull: Climate Change Ethics - For the benefit of anyone who has spent the past decade or so on a different planet, the most frequently asked questions about climate change on this one are as follows. Is it getting warmer? Yes, surface temperatures have risen by 0.8°C from pre-industrial levels. Are humans causing it? Almost certainly. The gases produced by industrialisation and agriculture are known to have an insulating effect, and their concentration in the earth?s atmosphe... Layla Al-Zubaidi: In Syria - ?Welcome to Assad?s Syria,? the signpost at the Lebanese-Syrian border still says, letting the visitor know who owns the country. The ceasefire had just been announced, but few Syrians I knew held out much hope that three hundred UN observers could keep an eye on the whole army. The journey from Beirut to Damascus by shared taxi takes less than three hours. For years I?ve come this way to visit the Syrian side of my family. It was clear that thin... Mark Ford: Pound Writes Home - By my count, though I may have missed a few, this is the 25th volume of Ezra Pound?s highly distinctive correspondence to see the light of day. The first selection of his letters, edited by D.D. Paige and culled from the years 1907-41, was published in 1950, when Pound was four years into what would be a 12-year sojourn in St Elizabeths Hospital in Washington, to which he?d been confined indefinitely after pleading insanity at his trial for treas...

Choose Charcoal for Drawing - Compressed stick charcoal seems to be the default selection for most people starting out in charcoal drawing - perhaps because it's relatively sturdy, uniform and gives a good range of tone - ideal for beginners. There are many other options though, all with slightly different properties which lend themselves to different ways of working. Check out my drawing charcoal review .Choose Charcoal for Drawing originally appeared on About.com Drawing /... Perspective Basics - Perspective drawing really isn't that scary. The main thing is to start simple - don't leap straight into a three-point drawing of the Leaning Tower of Pizza if you've never even constructed perspective before, ok? Start with a simple box in one-point perspective. When you've got that squared away, try boxes in two-point perspective. You'll need to learn how to divide space. A useful technique is the 'crossed diagonals' method of finding the cent... White Chalk on Black Paper -
Drawing with white chalk on black paper can look really effective and dramatic. But handled badly, it can also look really 'wrong'! The biggest problem is the temptation to outline in white, where we would normally be using a graphite pencil. The trick is to reverse the way we look at things. With graphite or ink, we draw the darks and shadows, and sometimes don't give the highlights much attention. When drawing with white on black, we need to p... Better Photographs Make Better Drawings - It's generally better to draw from life than to draw from a photograph, but sometimes having a subject sit for hours isn't possible. Kids are particularly challenging sitters - they just won't sit still for a moment! If you're going to draw from a photograph, you really need it to be a good one. A well-lit picture with a natural subject is so much easier to draw and will give you really great results. It's particularly important when drawing anim...

Leonardo da Vinci Quotes on Drawing - Leonardo da Vinci is a fascinating artist, and while a few enigmatic pieces get a lot of airtime, I often think that the old master has a lot to offer the modern artist beyond these iconic works.

Leonardo Quotes and DrawingsLeonardo da Vinci Quotes on Drawing originally appeared on About.com Dr... Improving Your Drawing: Middle Values - An error I've noticed in many beginner (and even more experienced) artists' work lately is a gap in the tonal range. Often artists will focus on the outlines, so these will be strong, and they know they need confident darks, so they'll shade quite powerful shadows. But then things go a bit pear-shaped when they start to tackle the rest of the shading. I think in part it's a desire to get the subtleties of tone so not to be too heavy-handed, but t... Improve Your Drawing - The trouble with being stuck in a rut is that you don't always know it - you keep going over the same old ground and it's not until you're entrenched in a well-worn groove that you discover that you're repeating yourself. If you're lucky, it just means that you never get beyond being 'pretty good' and your work always has that familiar 'look' to it. If you're not, it can mean mediocrity and a slow wearing-away of creativity and enthusiasm. Here a... Pencil Shading Exercise - Shade an Egg. - Practicing shading with simple objects is a good way to develop skills quickly. Instead of thinking about a composition with many complicated textures, you can pay attention to subtle changes of tone and concentrate on handling the pencil to get the kind of shading you want. It's useful to try these exercises out with different papers and pencils - for example, as well as basic sketchbook paper, try a smooth hot-pressed paper as well as something...
