Germ cells are the sperm and eggs which are pretty hardwired in sperm stem cells or ovaries by birth. The non-germ somatic cells which make up the vast majority of your body continue to mutate through your pre-birth development and post-birth life. Cancer is thought to be the accumulation of 5 to 20 such mutations or expression changes in somatic stem cells. This cancer hypothesis should be better known in next decade or two as researchers are furiously sequencing cancer cells to see how they have changed.
US farmers have been doing fairly well lately with commodity bubbles in 2008 and 2011 and a major world drought in 2010. Dont pity the Aunt-Em types. Manhattan zipcodes are a major destination of subsidy checks, since these are public records.
The combination of playing a real-life Rambo and $25M reward tempted others like this Colorado man. The State Department rescued him after he was arrested.
with pretty good software. Internet companies like Facebook and Google have to run their software on something . Google continues to dabble in hardware, but has never been successful.
Slight changes in Earths orbit over the Millennia have the best correlation of any factor. These are called the Milankovitch Cycles . This does not rule out a co-factor like a series of large eruptions pushing the climate over the edge. There is about 20K years until the next Milankovitch susceptibility.
I visualize dementia as slipping deeper and deeper into a dream-fog. At some point I would stop caring about things. At some point I'd be incapable of executing something as complicated as a suicide. There is an intermediate state where the patient can get very frustrated and angry at not being able to do things. And possibly paranoid at the strange new things happening around them.
It is horrific to you loved ones and care givers. They'd experience you disappearing and require lots of care. If you were not rich, then any inheritance would go away too.
Late stage dementia you forget the basic functions of life like eating, coughing, defecating, breathing, etc. These cause medical complications which eventually kill you.
That was an issue about a decade ago, then we stopped hearing about it. The shippers would provide minimal living conditions and sometimes lose contact at the other end. Most of these immigrants were southern Chinese who'd become effectively indentured servants for several years in the US while paying off their fees. I wonder if it has stopped. Maybe slightly higher 9-11 security would have detected a greater fraction of these. I'd guess just coming through the northern or southern US borders is a lot less trouble.
Many biological reactions at surface pressures and temperatures require catalysts called enzymes to proceed. Protein synthesis and the citric cycle are two basic examples. These do not require catalysts at high temperature and pressures according to work Robert Hazen of Carnegie Institute.
After life began it evolved enzymes to expand into other ecological niches. For example, the ocean surface is an energy rich area with solar radiation.
If I were to design a high school computer course, that would be my theme. You cover the basic elements of computing, hardware and software, Then you add the arts: graphic design, elements of writing script, character development, examples from literature, etc.
I wonder if there are any existing high school level course on this. Plenty of arts schools have this curriculum.
I remember stories that FBI would record the serial numbers of robbery cash, usually $100s. They they'd wait for the numbers to show up at Reserve Banks which often scan the serial numbers. Then the FBI would home in sub-banks and merchants to identify usage locations.
I've pretty much been doing what I wanted to do while in college and afterwards. Money was never the main goal - just doing interesting and cool technical stuff. And adequate money has appeared on the sidelines.
Why add an expensive piece of equipment that is ripe for abuse.
There are some difficulties with plain mileage if you cross state borders a lot.
But lets keep it simple.
Digital cameras are criticized for low dynamic range, especially in dark light scenes,
lower spatial resolution, like smke or sharp edges,
lower temporal resolution, like splashing water scenes, etc.
A good camera man or director can work around these flaws.
It should get better. The Doppler planets and early Kepler results are biased toward extreme planets. By 3rd year Kepler should be seeing 1 A.U. planets.
So the irony is when some is missing or non-functional, some remaining parts may be overactive. This may be the case with some idiot savants. Or people like Reagan's press secretary Jim Brady who had a traumatic lobodemy and lost emotional control for several years.

Its the most popular field for people not attending grad school. The attractions are high salary, technical work and staying in the northeast.
And you thought you knew what your kids were doing in their bedrooms at night.
Which can be used to better manage money and grow wealth.
Similar to weather you log into Google or not. You get more efficient searches when you log in.

Archeologists used balloons as early as 1870s to photograph hidden topography in landscapes.
The really novelty is so much public domain satellite imagery that anyone look for hidden structures.

Soft governments who give into whining protesters.
Dont forget to look under your bed tonight.
iPods and ebooks would allow you dump bulky CDs and books.
Between iPods and eBooks you can dump most CDs and books.
If you believe the current estimate of about a trillion galaxies. Of course they are not evenly distributed nor visible to a photographers camera.

The purpose of social media is find out what your friends or contacts are doing, not far-away news.
