Is lead linked to mental decline?Submitted by Charles Frost on Mon, 07/28/2008 - 20:55.
Is lead linked to mental decline?Some experts say long-ago exposure to the toxin adversely affects the brain later in life, but more study is necessary.Could it be that the "natural" mental decline that afflicts many older people is related to how much lead they absorbed decades before? That's the provocative idea emerging from some studies, part of a broader area of new research that suggests some pollutants can cause harm that shows up only years after someone is exposed. The work suggests long-ago lead exposure can make an aging person's brain work as if it's five years older than it really is. If that's verified by more research, it means that sharp cuts in environmental lead levels more than 20 years ago didn't stop its widespread effects. "We're trying to offer a caution that a portion of what has been called normal aging might in fact be due to ubiquitous environmental exposures like lead," says Dr. Brian Schwartz of Johns Hopkins University.

OMG!!! North Pole: Could be Ice-Free this Year, But Some Hope LeftSubmitted by Charles Frost on Mon, 04/28/2008 - 18:57.
by Jeremy Elton Jacquot, Los Angeles on 04.28.08Good Video From The Article Here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0S6oyTdkOWc&eurLet's start off this post with another round of good/bad news, shall we? The bad: According to new data from the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC), the North Pole could become ice-free this summer because of a record low in ice formation. The good news: Its ice expanded at a greater rate this winter than it did in 2007, and there is the possibility that a milder, more cyclonic atmospheric pattern this summer could help preserve it.
