In The Beginning, and In The Other Beginning

"We are greater and more powerful than God now... for all that God has made and given for free - to feed and to heal - we have stolen and defiled and claimed as ours alone." - CEO's

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - At a time when nature is so threatened, the hope is that atheists and those of all religious backgrounds will recognize their shared feelings for the sacredness of nature and all of our inviolable rights to it.

It might be helpful to atheists, as they read the quotes below from the Bible, to remember that Gandhi's religious belief was central to his courage...

Universal Answers in Static Electricity and a Swirling Magnetic Fields

General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics in a single package? 'The Elegant Universe; Einstein's Dream' explores and misses, some of the largest questions.

(SAN DIEGO) - A 9 Nov. 2011 KPBS program copyrighted in 2002 titled “The Elegant Universe; Einstein’s Dream”, it started with: “Actually, no one can figure out how gravity operates when you get down to the size of atoms and subatomic particles.

That is, no one can figure out how to put general relativity and quantum mechanics together into one package.

Resolving Mysteries that Stump Scientists
KPBS Nova program The Fabric of the Cosmos

“... space did not want to be compressed, it wanted to push the universe apart” - Physicist Adam Riess, John Hopkins University

(SAN DIEGO) - On Nov. 2, 2011 KPBS broadcast a program titled “The Fabric of the Cosmos; what is space?”

Birth Defects Reveal Weapons-Grade Enriched Uranium Used in Fallujah, Iraq

The TV show 'Vice' presents evidence backing our theory, that uranium-based weapons were used in Fallujah, where birth defects have skyrocketed...

(SALEM) - "This was not depleted uranium, it was actually slightly enriched uranium..."

The story here is almost as obscene as the overall notion of attacking a country suspected of having nukes, with nukes; and if one leading expert is right, that is exactly what happened.

Patent Issued for OHSU Stem Cell Cloning

“In addition to improving the health of all Oregonians, part of OHSU's mission is to impact the economic health of the state” - Dan Dorsa, Ph.D., vice president for research at OHSU

(PORTLAND, Ore.) - Oregon Health & Science University’s unique method of transforming a person's own skin cells into stem cells has officially been patented. The United States Patent and Trademark Office, an agency within the U.S. Department of Commerce, issued the patent earlier this year.

Securing a patent is a key step in commercializing discoveries, an important objective for OHSU.

The Energetic Relationship between Enceladus and Saturn

These phenomena occurs in the same near vacuum in outer space as fluorescent tubes, sodium lights and neon signs.

(SAN DIEGO) - In April 20, 2011 NASA stated: “The footprint and magnetic field lines are not visible to the naked eye, but were detected by the ultraviolet imaging spectrograph and the fields and particles instruments on NASA's Cassini spacecraft.

A new NASA advisory states: “The European Space Agency announced that its Herschel Space Observatory had found a huge donut-shaped cloud of water vapor encircling Saturn more than 373,000 miles across and about 37,000 miles thick..."

Forestry, Manufacturing, Petroleum Industries Get House to Pass Bill Delaying Regulations on Boilers

No House Republicans voted against the bill.

(BERKELEY, Calif.) - The U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday passed (by a vote of 275-142) HR 2250, which would delay a ruling by the Environmental Protection Agency on achievable standards for industrial, commercial, and institutional boilers, process heaters, and incinerators.

The measure was supported by the American Petroleum Institute, the American Chemistry Council, the American Forest & Paper Association, the National Association of Manufacturers, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Saturn`s Glow - Stimulated Atoms, Gases in a Visible State of Excitement

Saturn's intense magnetic field occurs the same way that gases react in a sodium lamp or fluorescent tube, when you turn on the electrical switch.

(SAN DIEGO) - A report issued by NASA at the end of last month, indicates the scientists are on the verge of solving many mysteries of the rings of Saturn.

9/11, Twin Tower Destruction and Lethal Toxic Sequels

Is it P.C.B.'s and Dioxins?

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - The number of people becoming violently ill and even dying from the Twin Towers destruction seems to be a public health mystery. It should not be. A couple of TV doctors have stated that this is caused by Benzene, Jet fuel and dust. No such thing!

Many people are exposed to benzene on a daily basis. It does cause some Leukemia-like diseases but nothing like what is happening, besides that where did the benzene come from in that building. The second guess was Jet fuel. Thousands of people are exposed to this every day refueling planes, trucks, tractors, cars, et cetera. Jet fuel doesn’t do anything like this.

Unique Book Teaches About Marine Life in the Pacific Northwest

Written by members of a conservancy group, each detail is researched.

(PENDER ISLAND, British Columbia) - More in the tradition of natural history than an identification guide, Get Your Feet Wet! Illustrated Intertidal Notes from the Pacific Northwest (published by Trafford Publishing) is an exploration of the diverse life in the intertidal zone of the Pacific Northwest.

Each chapter is beautifully illustrated by a well-known West Coast artist and tells the story of a unique plant or animal, how to remember its name, where it lives on the shoreline, its place in the food chain and its significance to human beings.
