In the News:
Illinois Middle School Student Gets Detention for Hugging Friends Serves her right, if she's not going to hug everyone she shouldn't hug anyone at all. (Equal Opportunity Hugging, taking a stand against discrimination)
'Drug' Made From Human Waste Causing Stink on Web, in Law Enforcement

MIT Developers Plan Collapsible Car for City Driving
Um yes... I drive a Toyota, a Toyota shopping cart.
I pulled this description off of the BBC of a Science article. I could be wrong but isn't this a double negative? Honestly, I can't say I care about the article. It seems like they are discovering "planets" in distant solar systems on a weekly basis now, but perhaps that is an exaggeration. Astronomers in the US unveil a new planet, the fifth in a solar system said to be not unlike our own.
Follow up on the urine froth subject, courtesy of Jeremy Viles: "Did a little investigative work on the Froth subject. Apparently it is caused by proteins and waste products that are released naturally. The reason there is less froth as George correctly pointed out in the blog, is the alcohol and the the fact that the urine becomes less concentrated (watered down Gregs...(1)) KIDDING! So that solves the quandary. Also for the record males have naturally more froth than females (typically because of the higher blood volume and greater filtration). So just thought I would share."
(1) Gregs: Nickname of a Brian Gregoire, implication: pieces of Brian are released in his liquid waste product.
On a more serious note:
Laser treatment 'could kill HIV' Interesting, sounds like it could have potential for topical infections at least, perhaps Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)?
