'Microbial Pompeii' found on 1,000-year-old human teeth Posted: 24 Feb 2014 03:33 PM PST A "microbial Pompeii" has been found on the teeth of 1,000-year-old human skeletons. Just as volcanic ash entombed the citizens of the ancient Roman city, dental plaque preserved bacteria and food particles on the skeletons' teeth. Researchers analyzed dental plaque from skeletons in a medieval cemetery in Germany, and found that the mouths of these aged humans were home to many of the same bacterial invaders that cause gum disease in the mouths of modern humans. "One thing that is clear about the population we studied is that they didn't brush their teeth very often, if at all," said study leader Christina Warinner, an anthropologist at the University of Zurich in Switzerland and the University of Oklahoma in Norman. |

New link between common pain reliever and risk of ADHD Posted: 24 Feb 2014 01:27 PM PST Acetaminophen, a common pain reliever considered safe for pregnant women, has been linked for the first time to an increased risk of attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder in children, said a study Monday. More studies are needed to confirm the findings, but experts said the research points to a new potential cause for the worldwide rise in cases of ADHD, a neuro-behavioral condition which has no known cause and affects as many as five percent of US children. Women who took acetaminophen, also known as paracetamol, while pregnant had a 37 percent higher risk of having a child who would be later given a hospital diagnosis of hyperkinetic disorder, a particularly severe form of ADHD, said the study in February 24 edition of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Pediatrics. |

Big thud: Record-breaking meteorite crashes into moon Posted: 24 Feb 2014 08:39 AM PST "At that moment I realized that I had seen a very rare and extraordinary event," Jose Madiedo, a professor at the University of Huelva, said in a statement. The space rock hit at a staggering speed of 37,900 mph (61,000 km/h), gouging out a new crater roughly 131 feet (40 meters) wide in an ancient lava-filled lunar basin known as Mare Nubium, Madiedo and colleagues said. If a space rock this size hit the Earth, it might create some spectacular fireball meteors, but it likely would not pose a threat to people on the ground, researchers explained. During that crash, a space rock hit at an estimated 56,000 mph (90,000 km/h), carving a new crater 65 feet (20 meters) wide. |

Uganda's Museveni signs anti-gay bill Posted: 24 Feb 2014 03:05 AM PST ENTEBBE, Uganda (Reuters) - Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni signed into law on Monday an anti-gay bill that toughens already strict legislation against homosexuals, defying warnings from the United States that relations could be complicated by the new rules. Museveni's signature will please a staunchly conservative local constituency that is vehemently opposed to homosexuality, but risks alienating Western aid donors. Museveni signed the bill during a press conference at State House in Entebbe, close to the capital Kampala. ... |

Collins takes court as first openly gay NBA player Posted: 24 Feb 2014 12:18 AM PST Jason Collins took another trailblazing step as the first openly gay man in a major US pro sports league when he took the court for the NBA's Brooklyn Nets. Hours after the Nets inked Collins to a 10-day contract, he came in as a substitute in the second quarter of the Nets' game against the Los Angeles Lakers, receiving the kind of warm welcome from the Staples Center crowd more usually reserved for their own players. It was the 13-year NBA veteran's first appearance in the league since he went public in April about his homosexuality, a revelation that came after his contract with the Washington Wizards had expired. |
Split in Maduro's ranks amid Venezuela turmoil Posted: 24 Feb 2014 12:02 PM PST A Venezuelan ruling party governor called for the release of all jailed protesters Monday in a rare public split within President Nicolas Maduro's ranks after nearly three weeks of deadly anti-government demonstrations. Jose Gregorio Vielma Mora, the governor of the western state of Tachira where the student-led protests began February 4, also criticized the use of the military in response to the protests, calling it "a grave error" and an "unacceptable excess." The development came as Maduro was preparing to meet with the nation's governors and his call Sunday for a national dialogue. At least 14 people have been killed and 140 others injured in the protests, which have posed the greatest challenge to Maduro's government since he was narrowly elected president last year to succeed the late leftist icon Hugo Chavez. |
