Hope that there is life on Mars revived over the past decade, when detailed photos revealed that the surface appears to have been carved by flowing water; liquid water is necessary for life as we know it. And while few scientists now support the 1996 claim that fossil microbes had been found in a Martian meteorite, most remain convinced that Mars might have harbored life in the distant past--and that some micro-organisms could still be hanging on beneath the frozen surface. The search for subsurface water and for those microscopic holdouts is the focus of several probes...
...making all those dazzling sentences add up to a novel that he sometimes goes astray. Some of the sharpest words concern Clint Smoker's odious tabloid, the Lark. What was in a terrorist group's "dirty bomb?"an editor asks. "Radioactive medical waste, Chief, plus ringworm, West Nile virus, liquid gangrene and a cladding of mad cow." The bombing story is squeezed out by news of a man injured outside a kiddies' swimming pool when he is caught watching too closely and flees with his pants round his ankles. Headline: Pervs Him Right. Yellow Dog isn't just about language...
...very well be smarter than you are first thing in the morning. It knows when you're ready to use it (the lid lifts as you approach) and when you're done (the lid closes, and the toilet flushes). It even knows what has gone on in between: for liquid-only waste, Neorest uses 1.2 gal. of water to flush and for other episodes, 1.6 gal. The conservation-minded toilet also includes a heated seat, an air deodorizer and a warm-air dryer, among other features...
...natural-gas prices are going up--and are going to stay up--it's now time to bring in more expensive LNG from the Caribbean, the Middle East, Africa and possibly Russia. To import natural gas, it must be chilled to minus 260°F, which converts it to a liquid and reduces its volume. An amount that would normally fill a beach ball can fit inside a Ping-Pong ball. When the liquid arrives at terminals in the U.S., it is slowly warmed up, returned to a vapor form and sent through pipelines...
...nutritionists, who know all fats are not created equal, that's good news. Unsaturated fats (those that are liquid at room temperature and contain fewer hydrogen atoms) are comparatively benign, but saturated fats (solid at room temperature with bonds filled, or saturated, with hydrogen) are notorious artery cloggers...
