		<title>The Big Leonid Show and Tin Foil</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 

I hope that readers are as eagerly looking forward to the big Leonid meteor shower show as I am. Planning to schlep a lawn chair to the railroad tracks where there is an unemcumbered view of the east/southeast sky and no light pollution to speak of, settle in with a blanket and toast to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ 

In the news this month we&#8217;ve learned about a neotropical jumping spider discovered by Christopher Meehan of Villanova University in Mexico and Eric Olson of Brandeis in Costa Rica that is the only species of spider observed to subsist on a primarily vegetarian diet.

		<title>Big Monopoles, BPA and Autism-DNA Link</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
NASA/JPL-Caltech/Kreck
News this week from the rarified realm of science research is both interesting and far-reaching. And no, by far-reaching I&#8217;m not talking about discovery that the planet Saturn has a huge, invisible ring nobody noticed before.
In the field of physics, some may have heard of Paul Dirac&#8217;s postulated magnetic monopoles &#8211; the quantum of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Intersex Fish and Water Pollution</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Back in February of 2008 the U.S. Geological Survey [USGS] conducted research on smallmouth bass in the Potomac River basin, finding that 80-100% of the fish collected from the Shenandoah were intersex. Meaning that males of the species had testicular oocytes [TO], or immature female egg cells in the testes.
The USGS researchers also documented that [...]]]></description>

		<title>There Must Be a Reason&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why do people believe lies after being told the truth?
 
Sociologists from four major research institutions have published a study in the journal Sociological Inquiry examining how we support our false beliefs. They examined the false belief of many voters during the 2004 general election, which held that Iraq&#8217;s Saddam Hussein was responsible for the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Black Hole Machine, Clever Crows &amp; Parisian Salmon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
In general science news this week there is some good news, some interesting news, and some not-so good news. First off, Alexander Higgins asks whether the Large Hadron Collider at CERN is worth what&#8217;s been poured into it.

		<title>Global Cooling, Global Warming</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
Researchers from Oregon State University and other institutions have published an article in the journal Science that they say puts to rest a long scientific debate on the causes of periodic ice ages in the history of our planet. The conclusion? Earth Wobbles.
The last major ice age reached its peak about 26,000 years ago, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jupiter Takes Another Hit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
Last week an amateur astronomer in Australia named Anthony Wesley discovered a &#8216;hole&#8217; very nearly the size of Earth in the banded atmosphere of Jupiter, indicating that the largest of our solar system&#8217;s planets had once again been hit by a cosmic billiard ball of some kind. Space Daily reports that The Hubble Space [...]]]></description>

		<title>Forest Management vs. Carbon Sequestration</title>

		<title>Your Mama Was Right!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
If your Mama was anything like mine, you no doubt grew up with the constant admonition that &#8220;you are what you eat.&#8221; And despite the silly position of the AMA back in the early 1980s that there was no evidence to support the idea that diet has any direct relationship with health, almost all [...]]]></description>
