Lawyers call for science to clear AIDs nurses in Libya

Article Abstract:

Lawyers defending six medical workers who risk execution by firing squad in Libya have called upon the international scientific community to support a bid to prove the medico's innocence. The Scientific community however has shown relatively little interest in the case, the reason for which, is probably attributed to the widespread notion that the trial is a sideshow, and that the 'real decisions would be made by diplomats.

When science and the theology meet

Article Abstract:

The unexpected clarification by the Roman Catholic Church of its position on the biological evolution might help in mending the fences between science and religion. This might be a blow to supporters of intelligent design who had hoped that groups in the Vatican sympathetic to their ideas might succeed in an internal feud over evolution that has opened since the death of Pope John Paul II in April 2005.

Sound and vision

Article Abstract:

The Paris city government has made a computer map where sound levels are depicted as color. This noise map has shown that about 7 percent of Parisians regularly endure traffic noise above 71 decibels, about as loud as a vacuum cleaner and 46 percent get between 61and 70 decibels, which can cause stress and high blood pressure on prolonged exposure.
