Jeremy Clarkson takes us through the new versions of the Mitsubishi Evo and the Subaru Impreza. Both are complicated, both Japanese, both reach 155mph, so how to separate them? Jeremy uses a group of rally fans to see. Lets just hope the scotch egg doesn’t get run over!

Complete video at: fora.tv Evolutionary biologist Beth Shapiro examines the difficulties involved in cloning a mammoth from frozen DNA samples. —– Rhodes Scholar and acclaimed researcher of ancient DNA Beth Shapiro discusses her research findings. She explains why Jurassic Park couldn’t work, the lack of genetic diversity in Bison and how mosquitoes can live in the arctic. “How to make a Dodo,” is part of the 2008 Chautauqua Institution’s Darwin and Linnaeus: Their Impact on Our View of the Natural World. – Chautauqua Institution Beth Shapiro is an assistant professor of biology at Pennsylvania State University and is a widely acclaimed researcher in the brand-new field of ancient DNA. She was recently a featured scientist in a special Smithsonian magazine section, “37 Under 36: America’s Young Innovators in the Arts and Sciences” for her work analyzing the DNA of the long-extinct dodo bird. Ancient DNA research analyzes the genes of extinct plants and animals, letting scientists trace the evolution and extinction of species with a precision unimaginable just five years ago. By comparing dodo DNA with the genes of five other species, for example, Dr. Shapiro’s research established that the flightless bird was a distant relative of the pigeon. Her 2004 paper in Science argued that the bison decline began much earlier than suspected – about 37000 years ago – and was thus not caused primarily by human hunters in North America. As a Rhodes Scholar in 1999, Dr. Shapiro …

-Please help me share this video- In Lesson 1, Patchman begins your journey into the unknown with the basics. Thoughts, Emotions, and the power that they bestow upon you. I’m planning on making this into a weekly series (I did this in 1 week), but for the next 2 or 3 weeks or so I’m going to be a bit tied up, so lesson 2 and onwards should hit the web around the end of the month. I also want to focus my time on this and exploring this topic, so I’m interested in finding a sponsor or something like that to help spread and share the videos further.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) — A NASA scientist reports detecting tiny fossilized bacteria on three meteorites, and maintains these microscopic life forms are not native to Earth. If confirmed, this research would suggest life in the universe is widespread and life on Earth may have come from elsewhere in the solar system, riding to our planet on space rocks like comets, moons and other astral bodies. The study, published online late Friday in The Journal of Cosmology, is considered so controversial it is accompanied by a statement from the journal’s editor seeking other scientific comment, which is to be published starting on Monday. The central claim of the study by astrobiologist Richard Hoover is that there is evidence of microfossils similar to cyanobacteria — blue-green algae, also known as pond scum — on the freshly fractured inner surfaces of three meteorites. These microscopic structures had lots of carbon, a marker for Earth-type life, and almost no nitrogen, Hoover said in a telephone interview on Sunday. Nitrogen can also be a sign of Earthly life, but the lack of it only means that whatever nitrogen was in these structures has decomposed out into a gaseous form long ago, Hoover said. “We have known for a long time that there were very interesting biomarkers in carbonaceous meteorites and the detection of structures that are very similar … to known terrestrial cyanobacteria is interesting in that it indicates that life is not restricted to the planet Earth …
