A hepatitis C drug developed by Danish company Santaris Pharma is creating excitement in the medical community. In preliminary testing done on chimpanzees chronically infected with the hepatitis C virus, SPC3649 dramatically reduced virus levels with no toxic side effects. Drug resistance, a common problem with currently available hepatitis C treatments, was not an issue. [...]

There is another problem –Russian nuclear weapons are technologically advanced and on par with those in the U.S. The “new nuclear powers” like Pakistan, North Korea and the apparently aspiring Iran are developing relatively primitive weapons –on par with the ones that Russia and the U.S. made in the 1950’s. Present rogue states mostly do [...]

The IHC is a fictitious website for the movie 2012 coming out in November 2009. 1913 Intel is about the real nuclear war coming around the same time. Although, the timing might be a few years off.
I’m joking right? No, this is for real. The time today is like that right before World War I. [...]

A map of potential oil and gas reserves in the region, published today in Science, shows that about 30% of the world’s un exploited gas and 13% of oil lie under the seas around the north pole. Billions of barrels of oil and trillions of cubic feet of gas lie within the Arctic circle, where, [...]

A better understanding of how the new strain of influenza arose
A new study, however, suggests pigs really were to blame. Several dozen researchers, led by Rebecca Garten of America’s Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), sequenced full or partial genomes of 76 samples of the new virus, which has afflicted almost 13,000 people around [...]

Commercial satellite images released today by the Institute for Science and International Security — a very credible source for arms control analysis — appear to underscore Pakistan’s determination to increase its supply of fissile material and develop more destructive nuclear weapons. Most worryingly, the report suggests that Pakistan may be on the path to creating [...]

We must add another field to the list of those in need of rescuing—economics itself.
The financial crisis has killed the claim that economics deserves to be treated as a science. The measure of a science is its capacity to explain, predict, and prescribe. And most economists not only failed to anticipate the nature and evolution [...]
