Now which gulfstream is it? Leonard T. Bayard's "N85VM and N227SV, which share the same manufacturer's serial number, 1172, were in fact the same aircraft."

OR "The plane's original registration number, N581GA, would later be changed by the FAA to N379P, and again to 8068V."... "the Stockholm Gulfstream, a later model 5 that bore the tail number N379P, also has been spotted in Karachi and Gambia during other renditions."

..one a testosterone derivative produced in men's sweat and the other an estrogen-like compound found in women's urine
PET scanner..The estrogen-like compound,..activated the usual smell-related regions in women, lit up the hypothalamus in men. ..The male sweat,,activated mostly the hypothalamus in women and the smell-related regions in men..
..gay men responded to the two chemicals in the same way as did women, she reports..
the vomero-nasal organ..has largely lost its innervation in humans.

eversing a decades-long trend ..the Earth's surface has become brighter over the last 15 years,
..sunshine from 1950's - 1990's dropped 10% = 2 - 3% per decade
."We see the dimming is no longer there,"
"If anything, there is a brightening."

In some places..brightening has more than offset the dimming
..Hong Kong, which lost more than a third of its sunlight, the dimming trend has leveled off, but previous levels of brightness have not yet returned. In a few places, like India, the dimming trend continues, he said.

..Two possible causes are clouds and air pollution..
The Earth reflects back into space about 30% of the sunlight ..

..the dimming between the 60's and 80's counteracted the greenhouse effect," Dr. Wild said. "When the dimming faded, the effects of the greenhouse gases became more evident. ..

Dr. Wielicki said his data supported a report last month by a team led by Dr. James E. Hansen of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York. In a paper published on Science's Web site, Dr. Hansen and his colleagues said that much of the excess heat generated by global warming so far had been stored in the oceans. Even if no more greenhouse gases are added to the atmosphere, they said, the Earth will continue to warm by 1 degree Fahrenheit, as the heat in the ocean is released into the air.

Singapore.. 10 June to 11 Sept outdoor exhibit at the Marina Promenade.."new information and evidence" in support of the theory that Zheng He landed in America ..

..a fleet of 30,000 men on 300 ships to American in C15..
Zheng, says Menzies, drew up maps later used by Columbus to reach America in 1492..
Ferdinand Magellan also sailed with the help of Chinese-drawn maps
..details of a naval base which Zheng is believed to have established in Canada at a ..Nova Cataia or New Cathay..
Pico Art Intl ..celebrations this year marking the 600th anniversary of Zheng's maiden voyage through Southeast Asia,.. Malacca..
.,.But whether Zheng ..beat Columbus to America by a comfortable 71 years is bitterly debated.
.."There is no methodology in his research and no support for his arguments. He makes conjectures and suddenly they become facts."
Zheng He's largest wooden junk was 130m long..
.."The people who live today in places where the Europeans found Chinese people in North America, those people have essential Chinese DNA in their blood," said Menzies.

The Genetic Engineering Approval Committee refused to renew licences for the sale of three Monsanto BT cotton varieties in Andhra Pradesh state, because these had been found ineffective in controlling pests ..

Chavez rant on the new "pro" pourquoi pas?
"and last week -- in the ultimate insult to the Bush administration (for whom foreign policy and military policy are almost the same thing) -- throw the U.S. military out of Venezuela.
..That this happened without evident retaliation was a milestone of some sort; for Chavez suddenly broke off military-to-military relations, just about the only kind the Bush administration ever promotes, and threw out "a small group of U.S. officers who were teaching and studying in Venezuela," accusing them of encouraging plots against his government.
