VOLTS FROM A MECHANICAL SEA SNAKEPelamis is a segmented cylinder moored at both ends to the ocean floor. As a wave passes down the length of Pelamis, hinged joints on the power conversion modules allow the tubes to move up and down and side to side. The motion of the tubes relative to one another drives pumps that turn generators. The electricity flows via a cable to a shore-based grid. To access high-energy swells, Pelamis is designed for use about five miles offshore. It generates over 2.5 million kWh's of electricity per year, enough to provide power for 150-200 homes. The same technology will be used to desalinate water or produce hydrogen

When matter comes into contact with antimatter it produces an explosion of pure radiation, traveling outwards at the speed of light. Both particles that created the explosion are completely destroyed, leaving behind only other subatomic particles. It's a perfect conversion of mass into energy. It releases about 10 billion time the energy of a chemical reaction and 1000 times more than nuclear fission in a nuclear power plant.

Cloning could offer a key to the fountain of youth, say scientists

whose six cloned cows show signs of being younger than their

chronological ages.

On January 8, 2001, scientists at Advanced Cell Technology, Inc., announced the birth of the first clone of an endangered animal, a baby bull gaur (a large wild ox from India and southeast Asia) named Noah.

While this $150 M project is still in the early stage, with feasibility studies being conducted, Good News Holdings has created a Delaware based LLC named "Project Julia" (working title) to facilitate progress.

Aging can be slowed in laboratory rodents by low-calorie diets, and changes in single genes can extend mouse life span by 40 percent or more.

U.S. life expectancy at birth has increased by about 7 years (from 70 to 77) since 1960
